for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates. Turnover is recognised when the significant risks and rewards are considered to have been transferred to the customer.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than investment property and freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line or reducing balance basis over its expected useful life, as follows: Plant and machinery etc. 20% reducing balance Residual value represents the estimated amount which would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Company Number: 11879929 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 December 2024

Company activities and impact

The Care Leaders Fellowship was founded on the belief that individuals with personal experience of the care system and professionals who work within it should collaborate closely to address the social issues faced by care-experienced people. By working shoulder to shoulder, these two groups drive meaningful and lasting change. The Care Leaders Fellowship unites individuals with lived and professional experience in the care system to address social issues faced by care-experienced people. The 12-month programme nurtures empathy, ignites entrepreneurial spirit, and equips leaders with the skills to create impactful solutions. This financial period has seen the conclusion of one cohort and the robust planning of the next, starting January 25. The programme comprises 12 learning modules, addressing strategy and business planning, comms and marketing, pitching ideas, evaluation and impact, and other subjects imperative to delivering successful social enterprises. The 2023 cohort included Care to Dance, House of Participation, My Future Self Matters and other organisations who have successfully progressed to deliver real social change. After a period of evaluation described in the below section, applications for the 2025 cohort commenced in July 2024, with marketing materials shared to Local Authorities and within the sector to promote the fellowship. Interviews followed and an initial 10 places were granted to commence January 25.

Consultation with stakeholders

The direct stakeholders are those who are looking to start or progress social impact organisations which improve the lives of care experienced people. Indirect beneficiaries are the care-experienced people who the social impact organisations support / will support. Feedback was sought from the first fellowship cohort to improve the model for the second cohort. This was gained after each session, and after the end of the first fellowship programme. Some of the changes implemented were the reduction of the number of retreats from 3 to 2, as many fellows said that it was not always possible to make the time. There was also the introduction of an application process for speakers to ensure that they were well qualified to deliver sessions, as well as applications opening to more fellows who were maybe not as advanced in their idea and needed support for their programmes to take shape. A fellow from the first cohort was paid to carry out research and facilitate the next cohort with their experiences gained throughout their fellowship journey.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received
