Year ended 31 March 2025
Financlal revlew
The Charlty's net outgolngs for the year amounted to £720 (compared to net outgoing resources In
2024 of £21,904). There were varlous restricted funds recelvgd during the year. These funds were
expended on salaries and agreed overheads. Any unspent revenue income is carried forward to next
year. The total unrestricted fund8 at the end of the year represent the Charity's free reserves and
amounted to £865 (2024 - £903).
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees recognise thg need for reserves to ensure the principal objectives of the Charity are met.
In addilion, Ir one of the main funders were to cease funding the Charity. time would be needed to find
an alternative. Th8 loss of funding may result in the need lo fund statutory redundancy and other costs
which would have to be funded out of accumulated reseNes. The trustees seek to achieve a target
level of free reserves equal lo three months direot charitable costs. Al the balance sheet date, the
target level of unreslricled funds amounted to £22,154 (2024: £26,981).
POLICY OF RISK
The Charity Commission has recommended that all Trustees review the risks facing their charity and
formulate a policy to mitlgale those risks. The main risk Is that of loss of funding. To mitigate this, the
Trustees have put in place a reserves policy.
Golng concern
Havlng considered budgets for the next twelve months. the Trustees are confidenl Ihat the Charity will
continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable futur8 and consider that there are no
materlal uncertaintie8 about Your Voice Advocacy Project ability to contlnue as a going concern. It is
therefore considered appropriate by the Trustees to prepare the financlal statements on a going
concern basis.

Plans for future perlods
New commisslons from WGRP and SBUHB will develop Your Voice Advocacy'5 servlces into new
areas such as undertaking campaigning action and hosting events in the commLrnily. Changes in
funders prlorltles also requires that greater emphasis is given to m@mber-led activity such as peer
advocacy groups and prcviding opportunities for Social inleraction. Similarly we have to seek to
introduce greater dlverslty into the membership and Board of Trustees. Thls has led to YVA'S
Involvement wilh the 'Better Togetherf initiatives across the region and a concerted effort to make links
with like-minded organi5atlons. Responding to diversity in the community includes maklng our events
and informatlon more accessible. Also, creating links and collaboratlng wlth th08e organisations
working with minority ethnic groups and marginalised sections of soclety In order to better understand
their neeés. PartiGipation In organlsed events such as Swansea's One Stop Shops and the GP
Practice Cluster events across the region, will bring YVA into contact wlth a wlde range of
organisalions.
YVA'S priority for the comlng year remains to encourage greater independence and resilienc8 amongst
active members with the aim of establishlng more user-led groups and groups thal deliver life-skills as
well as encouraging greater participation in co-production with both Swansea and Neath Port Talbot
councils. New income sources will be explored and new partnerships formed in order to establish a
fundlng pipellne and with-it long term financial stabllity. The origlnal ethos of the organisation to seek
the Integration rather than segregation for disabled people wlll be revived in our funding applications
and work with partnership bodies. Where the opportunity arlses, we will also develop our indep@ndent
advocacy work amongst members, seek out pald commissions and apply for the creation of a prop8rly
qualified advocacy team. Flnally, It Is recognlsed that long term financial security will only be ach18ved
by securing substantial fundlng for a major project over several year8 from a major grant mak8r and
establishing a 'funding pipeline, that includes a proportion of unre5trlcted funding.
