The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The company continues to successfully provide services in the health and social care sectors. The principal activities are home care (providing personal and domiciliary care).

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Board closely monitors strategic risks and evaluates performance through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to ensure alignment with the Group's long-term objectives.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

In 2024-25, we prioritised workforce development by launching initiatives to support employee well-being, professional development, and retention. Recognising the competitive healthcare labour market, we focused on attracting diverse talent and fostering a strong culture of professional growth. These efforts have significantly reduced turnover rates and improved staff morale.

KPIs used:

Staff turnover rates,

Training participation,

Number of hours for staffing (employed and agency).

Health & Safety:

Providing a safe environment for residents and staff remains a priority. In 2024/25, we strengthened our health and safety policies and improved training programs to ensure full compliance with regulatory safety standards.

KPIs used:

Accident statistics,

Notifiable accident frequency.

Cost Base Inflation

Inflationary pressures, especially in staffing, energy, and food, posed challenges in 2024-25. However, our cost control measures, including centralized procurement and operational efficiency programs, helped mitigate these risks.

KPIs used:

EBITDA and EBITDAR Cost per care hour.

Hours delivered/week

RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE

The performance of the company during the year has produced encouraging results. Eleanor Nursing and Social Care Limited continues to be the largest in the Care Group. Our home care and care home business has seen a significant improvement for this year despite the challenging environment in health and social care sector due to austerity cuts by the government.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Eleanor Care's main clients in Social Care is the local government and in health care is the NHS. Due to the austerity measures, both local government and NHS have been asked to make major savings reflecting in huge price reduction for the services we provide. Tougher regulations imposed by the Care quality commission also has led to increase in cost leading to a squeeze in the margins.

Due to the hard and difficult conditions in this sector many businesses have closed, however Eleanor has increased its market share in both health and social care during the year.

STRATEGY

The company's success is dependent on the service quality, pricing, and ongoing management of the costs - mainly the overheads. In the Care business, we have continued to consolidate our position. We believe it is important to retain a diversified portfolio of area in order to achieve maximum profitability through synergy in this highly competitive marketplace. In the Care and Logistics sector we have refocused the alignment of our products with our strong network which will allow us to enhance our market share and retention levels in this sector.

The company will continue to consolidate its position and concentrate its efforts on achieving maximum growth in its existing market segments and also hope to provide new services with more margins. We aim to improve efficiency in all areas of our operations with technology, innovation and creativity.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

In 2024-25, company successfully executed several key initiatives aimed at improving operational efficiency and service quality. By embracing digital transformation, we streamlined administrative processes, reduced inefficiencies, and enhanced real-time data management. These improvements directly impacted service user satisfaction, contributing to a notable increase in satisfaction rates and a measurable improvement in clinical outcomes. Now we are keeping most of our records/rostering digitally to not only improve our operational performance but also to reduce our carbon footprint.

Our strong relationship with regulatory bodies, particularly the Care Quality Commission (CQC), was critical in maintaining high standards of care. In 2024-25, Company enhanced its internal compliance frameworks, ensuring staff were well-trained and services met evolving regulatory requirements. Our commitment to compliance and excellence resulted in improved quality ratings across several facilities.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Although the growth of the UK economy strengthened in the year, risks to UK economic growth remain significant and future prospects may be influenced by developments in the euro zone. The economic environment will continue to evolve at a rapid pace over the next two to three years making a return to the relative stability and certainty that preceded the crisis unlikely, at least in the short term. Interest rates are predicted to remain low in the short to medium term.

In addition, we are expecting there will be continuing growth in the Care Industry and also the potential for an increase in use frequency on certain lines of business. We plan to actively review our Home Care to seek to ensure profitability is maintained in difficult market conditions. This includes gaining a better understanding and efficiency in recruitment of our care staff.

We will continue to win new contracts in home care and logistics while going into new areas such as supported living, out-reach and day centres. we will also continue to invest in care homes. Fresh energy will be applied in nursing and training to develop the potential in the sectors.

We will continue to develop our relationships with customers, generating new business where possible and increasing retention levels while navigating the pressure on our Service users. The level of profitability in the coming year will dependent on our cost management, entering new profitable sectors using our brand name and careful acquisition.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-	prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Edwards Chartered Accountants, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

M V Santhiapillai - Director

18 September 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Eleanor Nursing And Social Care Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

-	give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;

-	have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-	have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

-	the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

-	adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-	certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-	we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures can detect irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach was as follows:

a) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to include the Companies Act 2006, and relevant tax legislation. In addition, we have considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

b) We communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

c) We examined the company's regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with management any known or suspected instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.

d) We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:

i) We considered the use of remuneration incentive schemes and performance targets for management and did not identify any additional fraud risks

ii) The audit team discussed whether there were any areas that were susceptible to misstatement as part of their fraud discussion.

iii) In addressing the risk of management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries. We also challenged assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates and judgements.

iv) We incorporated an element of unpredictability in the selection of the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures.

Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud, including:

Designing audit procedures to address, for example:

a) The possibility of fraudulent or corrupt payments made through third parties.

b) The risk of bribery and corruption.

c) The opportunity to segregate duties within the entity.

Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above.

Using our general commercial and sector experience and through discussions with management, we identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements as well as those arising from management's own assessment of the risks that irregularities may occur either because of fraud or error.

The engagement partner considers the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.

Under ISA 240 (UK) there is a presumed risk that revenue may be misstated due to the improper recognition of revenue. To address this risk, we obtained an understanding of the company's revenue recognition policies and compared these to the accounting standard, performed a walkthrough to confirm our understanding of the processes and controls through which the business initiates, records, processes and reports revenue transactions.

We tested a sample of revenue transactions to supporting evidence and tested, on a sample basis, revenue related balances in the balance sheet.

We considered the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities: There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
