Financial Management and Sustainability Despite significant financial challenges, Crossroads Care Slough has prioritized maintaining financial stability while ensuring service continuity. No rate uplift was received from Slough Borough Council (SBC) during the year, despite increased costs due to National Minimum Wage, NI, Pensions, related increases and rising utilities. SBC ceased the majority of referrals and removed most care packages, leaving Crossroads Care Slough to heavily subsidize care for the remaining council clients. Despite these challenges, the Management and Trustees have ensured the charity's stability and continuity by implementing prudent financial strategies and effectively utilizing working capital to sustain the delivery of high-quality care services. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, AND MANAGEMENT Governing Document The charity operates under a deed of trust and is a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act. Governance and Oversight The Board of Trustees oversees the strategic direction of the organization, meeting regularly to review operational and financial reports. Trustee meetings ensure informed decision-making and adherence to governance best practices. Risk Management A comprehensive risk register is maintained and reviewed to address potential risks proactively, ensuring the safety of clients and operational continuity. Staff and Trustee Support Staff well-being and development remain priorities, with investments in professional training and support systems. Trustees are provided with induction materials, training opportunities, and ongoing support to effectively fulfil their roles. PUBLIC BENEFIT AND IMPACT Crossroads Care Slough continues to meet the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The charity's activities have had a significant positive impact on the lives of carers and their families, providing them with respite, peace of mind, and improved quality of life. LOOKING AHEAD Our goals for the coming year include: Expanding our reach to support more carers in Slough through strategic recruitment and partnership development. Exploring opportunities for innovation and collaboration to enhance our services and diversify our income streams. Continuing to advocate for fair funding to reduce the financial burden on the charity and ensure sustainable care services for our community.
