CARERS TRUST MID YORKSHIRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- 1 -

The Trustees who are also Directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 202 5. The T rustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Vision

To listen and respond to the needs of unpaid carers, providing meaningful support, improve the quality of their lives and enable them to access the support they need.

Mission

Our mission is to provide the highest quality services to unpaid carers in Kirklees, Calderdale, Leeds and Wakefield no matter their needs, background, culture or preferences.

Public benefit

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the T rustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Achievements and performance

Charitable activities

At the beginning of the 2024/25 financial year, the organisation was continuing to face challenges in respect of the recruitment of a Finance Manager (appointed 28 May 2024). However, the new Board together with the interim CEO were beginning to apply their skillset in steering the charity to identify efficiencies.

Towards the end of 2024, an office restructure resulted in cost savings and a new substantive CEO was appointed. The Board also underwent some changes in roles, with the Treasurer stepping up to be Chair of the Board.

91,805 hours of care support have been provided to carers and their families throughout Kirklees, Wakefield, Leeds and Calderdale during the financial year from April 2024 to March 2025. In-depth analysis of these contracts has been undertaken resulting in some smaller elements not being renewed into the new financial year. The largest contract (Kirklees) has been renewed after a series of detailed negotiations with the Commissioner/Carers Strategy Manager headed up by the newly appointed CEO, Ty Platten.

At the end of the year, CTMY had 455 clients from children to adults. Our services to our clients include 1-1 sessions, group work for the elderly, an emergency service, support calls, weekend c hildren’s activity clubs and a children's holiday club, with over 1 00 children having benefitted from the clubs. As at 31st March 20 25, 100 employees were active in the delivery of our services.

Providing the highest quality of care services is important to the organisation. To support the teams in this, CTMY have continued their training to support team members in the delivery of professional, safe and high quality services with 96% compliance. We have placed greater emphasis on value and culture within the organisation in the latter part of the year, enabling us to build on the hours of care with a lower number of employees. We have continued to audit our practices across care and HR, and have a number of improvement projects ongoing.

CTMY has continued to work closely with commissioners and inspection bodies including Kirklees, Wakefield, Leeds and Calderdale local authorities, the local Clinical Commissioning Groups, the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services & Skills (OFSTED), the International Organisation for Standardisation, and the Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

Financial overview

Financial position during the year show that the net increase in funds was £50,431, taking total funds at the end of the year to £794,023 (an increase of 6.8% on the previous financial year). There was an in-year loss on investments of £20,117.

The principal sources of funding continue to be the contracts with local authorities in Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield and Calderdale areas for the delivery of carer respite services. The support of the local authorities remains strong and CTMY are in an excellent position to continue delivery of its care support and services for a number of years.

The Trustees consider CTMY to be well positioned to continue delivering services under local authority contracts, having established a reputation for reliability and quality. Nevertheless, other avenues and opportunities continue to be explored in order to lessen the impact should any of these contracts be reduced in scope or value in the future, including a focus on a Google marketing campaign to increase the organisation's profile for private work in the Huddersfield & Kirklees area.

Within this financial year, work has continued to address the historic bad debt position which has reduced drastically during the year. T here is now a robust process in place and the debtors level is now considered to be under control.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Investment policy and objectives

CTMY seeks to invest surplus funds in fixed interest, equity and property funds designed for charities and managed by professional fund managers, including CCLA Fund Managers Limited. CTMY looks to achieve the best returns available from its investments whilst also seeking to maintain a spread of investment types with the intention of reducing the level of exposure to market risks.

The Trustees have previously assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. There is a review of investments scheduled to take place in the 2026/27 financial year to ensure that this level of oversight continues.

Following the losses reported in the two previous financial years, the surplus achieved at the end of this current financial year is welcome and provides a good foundation for growth in future years.

Reserve policy

It is the policy of CTMY that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months' of total unrestricted expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, the Charity's current activities will be able to continue while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

At the year end, general unrestricted funds were £619,538 (202 4: £569,107). The required level of reserves is between £551,368 - £1.1 m, based on expenditure levels for 202 4/25, the current level of unrestricted reserves is therefore within the desired range.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Locally, Crossroads Care began in 1983. The organisation became a company limited by guarantee in April 1998 and was known as Huddersfield Crossroads - Caring for Carers. On 4 August 2009 its name changed to Crossroads Care in Mid Yorkshire. On 27 February 2014 its name changed to Carers Trust Mid Yorkshire. New Articles of Association since were duly adopted in 2018, and since on 13th May, 2021.

The organisation works across Kirklees, Wakefield, Calderdale and North Leeds. The organisation has contracts with Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield Councils, and is on the framework with Calderdale, although this provides minimal work. Services are also provided to carers through the receipt of nominal donations to the organisation. Individual care packages can be provided for those who choose to purchase care.

Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees

When a vacancy arises, candidates are sought via word of mouth and advertisements. Candidates are then interviewed for their suitability. All trustees, when recruited, undertake a planned induction process, which includes attendance at a Board meeting to observe and agreement to a set code of conduct in their responsibilities. Recruitment and appointment is underpinned by a skills and experience mapping to ensure the Board of Trustees is diverse in its membership and representative of the carers it supports in Mid Yorkshire. While recruitment for new trustees and a Treasurer has historically proved to be challenging, the current board an excellent care, finance, operational and strategic skill set.

Organisational structure

The charity's organisational structure consists of the Board of Trustees which, together with the Chief Executive Officer, form the Management Committee. This is responsible for setting policy, providing strategic direction and the governance of CTMY. Day to day operational management is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and the senior management team consisting of:

Chief Executive Officer – T Platten

Finance Manager – J Murray

Registered Managers - E Hartley and V Stratford

CARERS TRUST MID YORKSHIRE
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- 6 -

The trustees (who are also the directors of Carers Trust Mid Yorkshire for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

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

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

CARERS TRUST MID YORKSHIRE
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF CARERS TRUST MID YORKSHIRE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Carers Trust Mid Yorkshire (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity 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 trustees' 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 Charity’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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 our audit:

-

the information given in the trustees' r eport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the d irectors' r eport prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and

-

the d irectors' r eport included within the trustees' r eport has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

TO THE MEMBERS OF CARERS TRUST MID YORKSHIRE

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the d irectors' r eport included within the trustees' r eport.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

-

the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the s tatement of trustees' r esponsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the Charity for the purpose of company law, 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 trustees determine is 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 an auditor's report 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.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Other matters

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

• The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry sector;

• We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;

• We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and

• Ensured laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

• Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was a susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;

• Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and

• Understanding the design of the company’s remuneration policies.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we;

• Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

• Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions

• Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 2 were indicative of potential bias; and

• Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risks of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

• Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

• Reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

• Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and

• Reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from the financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Use of our report

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

Accounting policies
Charity information

Carers Trust Mid Yorkshire is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 9 Shaw Park, Silver Street, Moldgreen, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD5 9AF.

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.
1.4
Income
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 15 -
1.5
Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements
Over the remaining life of the lease
Plant and equipment
25% on cost
Fixtures and fittings
20% on cost

The charity has a capitalisation policy of capitalisng asset purchased costing in excess of £500

1.7
Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 16 -
Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11
Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2
Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
