The Trustees. who are also Directors urKler Company Law. have pleasure in submrtting their
Annual Report for the year ended March 2025. The financial statements have been prepared
in accordan￿ with their accounting policies set oul in the notes to the financial statements.
They comply with Citizens Advice Woking (CAW) governing document, Charities Act 2011.
Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities- Statement of
Recomrnended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance wrth
"FRS102°. the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
CONSTITUTION
CAW was founded in 1939 and was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee in
1991. New Articles of Association were adopted in 2014 and updated in 2022 in accordan
with National Citizens Advice Model Articles. A Twstee Board including members elected al
an Annual General Meeting or co-opted by Ihe Trustee Board directs CAW. The members of
'the Company consist of all Trustee Board Members. The liabilty of each member is limited
to a maximum of £1 per member.

The individuals who served as elected members of the Trustee Board during the financial
year are listed on the prior page. No member of Ihe Trustee Board received any payment
from CAW.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trust￿5 have had regard to the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives as set out in the Artides of Association state 'lhe Charity's objects are to
promote any charitable purpose for the public benefit by It￿ advancement of education, the
protection and preservation of health and the relief of poverty. sickness and distress in
particular, but without limitation, for the benefit of the community in Woking and surrounding
areas..
These objectives are achieved by the delivery of the Citizens Advice service to provide free,
independent. and confidential advi￿ and informalion lo the residents of Woking and anyone
who woths in the Borough to help with the problems they face. In addilion. it looks lo improve
the poliaes and practices that affect people's lives.
OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR
2024125 has been a challenging year for Citizens Advice Woking (CAW).
CAWS main funder. Woking Borough Council (INBC), issued a Sectton 114 Notice in July
2023 in response lo the 'unprecedented financial challenges facing the authority,. This
resulted in the ceasing of the Communty Grants scheme, which was the Sour￿ of CAWS
unrestricted grant in 2023124 (£189,000) and previous years.
We were. however, able to put together a balanced budget for 2024125. bul this did mean
having to cut costs, for instance reducing opening times foi the dropin service at our town

centre office from 5 days to 3 mofnings a week, and reducing the number of applications for
charitable support on behalf of clients, instead focusing on advice to help their situation.
As a ￿SuIt of this Cost control. and gaining additional income from project funders. induding
WBC, and increased fundraising activities, we were able to achieve a surplus of
approximately £91,000 for the year, a tremendous result in the circumstsnces.
The trustees would like to express rnany thanks to our fvnders and donors, and all the staff
and volunteeT¥, wilhout whose hard work and great Commitment, this would not have been
possible.
ACTIVITIES
Citizens Advice Woking (CAIN) is an independent local charity and a company limited by
guarantee. CAW is a rn￿ber of the national Citizens Advice nelwork.
We provide free. confidential. impartial, and independent adviee and inforniation for the
benefit of the local communlty. to exercise a responsible influence on the development of
social policies and to ensure individuals do not suffer through lack of knowledge or an
inabilrty to express t17w'r needs effectively.
CAWS activikn'es continue to be in line with its objectives. CAW works under the Local
Performance and Qualty Framework membership scheme of the national Citizens Advice
organisation. It continues to meet the qualty mart( for the Advice Quality Standaid in the
areas ol debt. housing, and welfare benefits.
Our generalist advice Se￿ICe 15 provided by volunteers who carry out reception and
adminlstrative duties. 9ive infomation and advice and have research and campaign roles.
and are Managed and supported by paid staff. We also have paid caseworkers in the areas
of welfare benefits and housing.
Woking is often considered t<) be an affiuenl area with high levels of employment and rates
of home ownership. There are, however. significant pocke15 of deprivation across the
borough and our priority is to support the most vulnerable in our communty. The main
enquiry areas of welfare benefts. debt and housing continue to be the issues that most of
our clients need help wth.

During 2024125, we also ran the following Projects on behalf of different funders-
l Access C¢ynmunity Dfug and Alcohol Service- funding from Surrey and Borders NHS
Trust to provide a generalist adviser to advise on all enquiry areas
Unlted Byfleet Charity - fvnding to deliver an outreach s&￿10n in the Wards furthest from
the town centre office
Trussell Trust Foodbank- funding to provide a generalist adviser at Foodbank sessions to
provide information and advi￿ and to reduce relian￿ on the Foodbank
Ukrainian Hub - fvnding from Woking Borough Council to provide generalist advisers to
give information and advice to the Ukrainian members of the Community
Refugee Support- funding frorn Woking Borough Council to provide a welfare benefrt
adviser to support the Syrian and Refugee community and to provKle generalist advice to the
wider refugee communty
Hardship Projecl - funding from Woking Borough Councll to support those who have
Council Tax arrears
Healthwatch Surrey - fvnding from Healthwatch Surrey to provide insight and trends of
those clients experiencing health and social care problems
Household Support Fund- there were Iwo phases, HSF 5 and 6. during the year. As a
result of funding from Surrey County Council {SCC) for income rnaximisation (applicable to
all LCAS in the county), CAW undertook benefit checks and conducled debt assessments for
clients from May to September. Funds during the December to March period were used lo
In¢￿aSe our Adviceline resour￿ to meet SCC'S requirements in the fomi of 'Financial
Health Checks..
CAW also continued with its Research and Campaigns work, raislng important issues both
locally and nalionalty that impact on peoples, lives. The data CAW gathers is used to help
research issues and influence decision makers by running campaigns to change these
poli(xes and practices that are seen to not be worf(ing.
Our fundraising efforts included continuation of the crowdfunding campaign, and a quiz
night, music. bike ride. and village show evenls, and staff and volunteers took part in the
London Legal Walk.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
As a result of the reduction in *rVI￿ that CAW was able to provide. because of the fvnding
cuis. our achievements were less than in 2023124 but nevertheless still very considerable in
the circumstances.
Only 2.5°/o fewer dients were helped (5419 compared to 5561 in 2023124)
The number of Quick Client Contacts increased, as we have needed to signpost people
on more occasions rather than being able to offer them an assessment (up from 153 in
2023124 to 329 in 2024125)

170/0 reduction in the number of issues that we have dealt with. as we have had to
reduce Ihe enquiry areas. e.g. charttable help and support
290/0 reduction in the number of aclivities that we have been able to carry out for dients.
mainly due to the reduction in drop-in sessions acioss the week
Income Gain has reduced by loo￿, down from £2.804.689 to £2,532,219 although to
provide clients with over £2.500,000 is still 8 great achievement.
Despite the loss of our 'Co￿, grant from Woking Borough Council. we continued to deliver
projects on thetr behalf, in particular refugee support and hardship co-ordinalion, as delailed
above. For one year only. CAW also received furKling frorn the UK Shared Prosperity Fund,
effectively to help our transition away from local government support.
It has been a challenging time for staff arKI volunteers, and their continued hard work and
unslinting commitment is recognised and very much appreciated by the trustees. There were
staff and volunteer changes during the year but we were able to recrurt a new Advice
Session Supervisor and an Administralive Assistant, both of whom made very valuable
contributions.
CAWS Chief Officer retired at the end of the financial year after many years of great service
to the organisation. A new Chief Officer has been recnjited from the Crtizens Advice
network, and will be starting at the beginning of June. The Chair of Trustees also stood down
at that time, having done his term and also after many years of great service. though is
staying on the Board. An Acting Chair is taking his place for at least 2025126.
Our Research and Campaigns work throughout the year successfully raised awareness of
local and national issues. induding a much*nhanced CAW social media presence on
Facebook and Instagram. Paid staff and volunteers raise¥Y 280 Evidence Forms. Housing
and welfare benefft issues had the highest number of Evidence Forms raised. highlighting
the difficulties in finding suitable. affordable housing, and the many problems clients have in
nav￿ating the welfare benefit system. The lack of affordable private rental housing in the
Borough has continued to be highlighted by surveys conducted during the year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Trustee Board confimis it has kept proper accounth'ng records which fvlty shows CAWS
financial position. The Trustee Board also ackn<)wledges its responsibility for safeguarding
CAWS assets and for taking all reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other
Irregularities.
The outcome for 2024125 was as shown in the Accounls below. We re￿IVed a total income
of £494k. The year-end surplus was £91 k (compared to the wevious yeafs deficit of £35k)
and we maintained healthy reserves of £322k.
GOING CONCERN
For the financial year ending 31st March 2026, a small budget deficrt has been agreed at the
start of the year of £1 Ok. Due to investment in staff and other costs agreed since the budget
was published. CAW is projecting a forecast deficit for 25126 of around £40k. This will reduce
a Itttle the reserves brought fO￿ard but it is projected that CAW will maintain healthy
reserves of around £280k at 3113126.
However, grant and project income for 26127 is not confirmed at the ts'me of the AGM and will
not be known for ￿rtain until early 2026. As with every year. there remains a degree of
uncertainty on the level of grant and project income that CAW can expect to achieve in

26127. The trustees, fiduciary duty is therefore to be cautious on the question of whelher
CAW remains a going concem trom April 2027.
The other factor that is likely to affect CAWS stalus in 26127 is local govemment
reorganisalion, with unitary authorities replacing the bwo-tier system. Surrey Local Citizens
Advice offices. including CAW, are agreed that they should be aligned lo the new structure.
which will be fonnally in pla￿ from April 2027. The nature of the alignment has not yet been
decided.
RISK
The Trustee Board consider the risk to which CAW is exposed and has put in place systems
lo mitigale those risks. This includes holding professional indemnity insurance arKI
employers, liability insurance. The level of cover is reviewed annually.
The Risk Register is reviewed every 2 months and the major risk identffi8d continues to be
the reduction of funding on current levels and the inabilty to find altemative funding.
There continues to be the same mistaken per￿p￿"on that CAW is funded by central
government. CAW continues to work hard to make the public and potential funders aware It
is a local charity. part of a national nelwork, but with no central govemment funding.

Independent Examlner's Report to the Trustees of Cltlzens Advice Woking
I report to the trustees (who are also Direclors for the pU￿ose of company law) on my
examination of the financial stsiements of Citizens Advice Woking ('the charitsble company'>
for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the
Balance Sh*t, the Statement of Cash Flows and related notes.
This report is made solely lo the charity's trustees. as a body. in accordance with section 145
of the Chariiies Act 2011. My Wofk has b￿n undertaken so that I might state to the charity's
trustees those matters l am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose.
To the fullest extent pemiitted by law, I do not accepl or assume responsibility to anyone other
than the charity and the charty's trustees as a body. for my work. for this report, or for the
opinions I have fomied.
Responslbilities and basis of report
As the trustees of charitable company you are responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements in accordance wilh the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Acl'>.
Havlng satisfied myself that the financlal statements of the charitable company are not
required to be audrted under Part 16 of the Act and are eligible for independent examinalion,
I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company's financial slalements carried
out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('Ihe 2011 Act,) and in carrying out my
examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Chanty Crjmmission
under section 145(5)(b> of the 2011 Act.
An indeperKlent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be
required in an audit arKI consequently does not cover all the matters that an audrtor considers
in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audrt goes
beyorKI the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I
express no opinion as lo whether the financial stslements present a 'true and fairf view and
my report is limited to those specific mattets set out in the independent examiner's statement.
Independent examlnerfs statement
Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examlner must be
member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confiryn that l am qualified to
undertake the examination because l am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed
bodies.
I have completed my exarnination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my
attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material
respect:
> accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by
seth'on 386 of the 2006 Act. or
> the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
> the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section
396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a
'true and fair view which is not a Matter considered as part of an independent
examination. or

> the finanaal statements have not been prepared in accordan￿ with the methods and
principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and ￿portIng by
charities applicable to Gharities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with the
Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I draw your attention to the disclosure in the Trustees, Report and Ihe Post Balance Sheet
Events Nota 14 which indicates there was significant material Un￿rtaInty relating to going
concem following the issuing of a Section 114 Notice by Woking Borough Council in June
2023. At the lime of signing these accounts, Citizens Advi￿ Woking's financial situation has
stabilized, and whilst Ihere is rnaterial uncertainty with regards the levels of grants for the year
ended 31 St March 2027, this is typical in the lead up lo the new financial year. The trustees,
due to the uncertainty, have drawn up a contingency plan. as per normal business plannng.
