Public Benefit
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review
looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the
previous twelve months. It also helps us remain focused on our
stated objectives. We have referred to the guidance contained in
the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when
reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future
activities thus ensuring that it continues in its purpose in providing
advice and support to voluntary and other agencies in promoting
the relief of persons who are in poverty, sickness and distress.
Social Investments
Previous analysis estimates that for every £1 invested in SNAP
Cymru activities there is over £20 of social value created. We are
proud of the added value we achieve through our appropriately
experienced and expert volunteers who provide value additional
time and support to the charity.

2. Report of the Trustees for the year
ended 31st March 2024
SNAP Cymru has successfully and efficiently provided Independent
Family Partnership Services across Wales. During 2024 we were
contracted to provide face to face advice and casework along with
advocacy services in 20 Local Authorities in Wales. We also provide
discrimination in education advice and support along with formal
disagreement resolution to all local authorities in Wales.
Worklng with two syst•ms- (SEN and ALN L•gislation in Wales)
Within the area special educational needs, as the legislative
changes embed it continues to add complexity to the support
families need. Many children and young people come to us with
unmet needs requiring a high level of complex casework.
The new Additional Learning Needs (ALN) legislation (ALN &
Educational Tribunal Act 2018) is currently being implemented using
a phased approach. This means in Wales we are currently working
with two systems - the new ALN and the old SEN legislation which
remains in place for those families who have not yet moved over to
the new ALN system. Working with 22 Local Authorities, they all have
their own policies, interpretations of the law and code which
understandably is still in development. All this has been challenging
enough for staff to navigate but has also been particularly
confusing for families. As a result, staff have needed to explore and
identify issues quickly, determining which system they fall into. With
such high demand also, it added to the complexity of the cases we
dealt with, as well as the additional casework time required to
achieve satisfactory outcomes.

SNAP Cymru provided Disagreement Resolution and Discrimination
in Education Services to the 22 Local Authorities in Wales.
This year we have supported children, young people and their
families with a range of discrimination issues including exclusion
from school trips, educational visits and events,. schools not
providing reasonable adjustments such as hearing equipment,
ramps, and chairs. We have also worked with schools to help them
understand their duties under the 2010 Equality Act, providing
information and advice and training when requested.
SNAP Cymru worked with Swansea Families First to deliver targeted
interventions when the identified needs of a child or young person
cannot be met within their setting, or by universal services
available to all families in Swansea. We also delivered additional
casework to families and advice to professionals funded by Local
Health Boards.
The provision included specialist casework, telephone helpline,
advice service, information via e-mail, website and post. SNAP
Cymru is a member of the UK National Information Advice &
Support Service (NIASS), which continues to inform our
development and practice.
This report provides information on the work carried out by SNAP
Cymru in respect of the service,level agreements and contracts
held. The report is for the period Ist April 2023 to 31st March 2024.
The data information for the report is from the SNAP Cymru CMS
database and feedback from families and professionals who used
SNAP Cymru services.

Effective Support
Problems don't happen in isolation and can have consequences which
may affect the life chances for children and young people. Solving
them can stop these situations escalating. Each year we help
thousands of children and their families, along with professionals,
access free bilingual information resources and support via our website
and social media, Printed bilingual materials are available for families
with limited IT and printing equipment. SNAP Cymru's bilingual helpline
has been available throughout the year, operated by experienced
members of staff and volunteers, the helpline is able to deal with many
issues often on a task and finish basis. More complex casework is
referred to SNAP Cymru's specialist casework service.
CapacityBuilding- Working in Communities
SNAP works an 'empowerment model,. This means that we aim to
support parents, carers, children, and young People (families) to
develop their knowledge, take control, build resilience, and empower
them to take their issues forward themselves when possible. However,
we acknowledge that ALN, Equality and Education Law can be very
complex, so we triage and monitor each case thoroughly, proactively
supporting and stepping back appropriately as a case progresses.
Complex cases can and often do take many hours to complete to
deliver a satisfactory outcome. Our aim is to prevent Adverse
Childhood Experiences (ACE). We do this by building capacity in the
community by helping families to feel able, confident, and empowered
to liaise effectively with schools, professionals and others when dealing
with issues around their child's education for this service, Family
Partnership, and Independent Advocacy. We also work with
professionals, often assisting them with information and advice to
enable them to work in partnership with the families they support.
illi

Volunteering
As a volunteering organization, SNAP Cymru is building
capacity by recruiting and training volunteers to a high
standard. They support staff in a variety of ways and when
trained and ready, they deliver casework services to families
too. Through volunteering with SNAP Cymru, and by gaining
skills, confidence and experience, many volunteers (especially
younger volunteers) move on to quality employment, further
education, and higher-level training opportunities.
SNAP Cymru is the proud holder of our late Queen s Diamond
Jubilee Award in recognition of our unique role, on a national
scale, to advance the education of people in Wales, to promote
inclusion and seek equality for all.
Investing in Volunteers Quality Mark (liv)
SNAP Cymru works to benchmark the quality of volunteer
management and activity through Investing in Volunteers.
Impact evidence demonstrates that volunteering enhances
our reputation and enables us to do more.
SNAP Cymru volunteers empower people to build sustainable
communities.

Accessible
SNAP Cymru delivers a range of bilingual services to families who
have or may have Children with ALN, SEN, and disabilities to help
them achieve their fullest potential in education and resolve
matters that include assessments, discrimination, exclusion
bullying, attendance, health, and social care.
We also provide independent professional advocacy,
disagreement resolution, discrimination advice, and training for
young people, parents, and professionals.
We have been doing this for nearly 40 years.
Coming from a unique perspective, we are trusted by Welsh
Government, the Education Tribunal, ESTYN, LA'S, Schools, and
professionals and are well known to families throughout Wales.
Most of our referrals come directly from families and educational
professionals.
Rooted in local communities we have offices and accessible
drop in venues across Wales. Caseworkers can also deliver face
to face services families homes as required, as well as working
over video such as Teams, Google meet and Zoom. Some
families prefer to work over the phone and via email. We have
excellent and secure IT systems in place to enable this. SNAP
Cymru has an interactive bilingual website which holds a wealth
of information and advice. Families can access services through
the website, telephone helpline, by email and via social media.
We accept referrals from professionals and partner
organisations and encourage them to signpost and refer
families to our services.

Why it's important to resolve problems
If left unsolved, problems don't just affect families they affect the
community they live and work in too.
Working with families to solve them creates considerable value to
society, and helps them lead 'ordinary' lives, without the need to fight
on behalf of their children.
Nearly all families we helped told us that their problem negatively
affected them and their children's lives, sometimes for yearsl
Many didn't feel confident about taking action to resolve their
problem before coming to SNAP Cymru.
Most came to us when they needed to take action urgently.

Education and Training
SNAP Cymru trains our own staff and volunteers to a high standard.
Ongoing professional and personal learning is valued and recognised
as a major contributing factor for the personal and professional
development of staff and volunteers improving the effectiveness of
the services provided. They have a responsibility to undertake
ongoing professional learning to continue the development of skills,
knowledge and understanding required to successfully fulfill the role.
SNAP Cymru has provided a range of information and training
opportunities related to education, disability, equality, and diversity to
families and professionals. Take up has been extremely high.
Quality Management
We are a member of Advice Network Wales operating a formal
signpost and referral system to other advice and advocacy providers.
SNAP Cymru values the learning that comes from both positive and
adverse comments or complaints.
We regularly review practice and seek to make improvements and
changes when we receive adverse comments or complaints. There
has been fourteen formal complaints received this year. Each
complaint is thoroughly investigated, and an action plan drawn up to
address any issues if required. All complaints have been resolved
successfully.

Welsh National Principles of
Public Engagement
Our trustees and staff work to the12 principles, and they are visible
for staff, volunteers and visitors to our offices.
Children and Young Persons.
Participation
SNAP Cymru is committed to the voice of the child, the meaningful
involvement of children and young people in the decisions that
involve them, and their future. We seek to improve and promote the
engagement and full participation of children and young people.
'The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, (UNCRC)
is embedded in our practice.
Digital Media and Communication
SNAP Cymru has developed digital media presence and activity to
make accurate, up to date, relevant information freely available. We
regularly use platforms and tools such as Eventbrite and Mail
Chimp for ticketing and registration for events. This simplifies our
planning and enables better access for more participants.

SNAP Cymru website
Website www.snapcymru.org
Our bilingual website offers free information, advice and guidance in
English and Welsh. Our published bilingual literature is available to
download free of charge.
SNAP Cymru is aware of how extremely important it is for an
organisation which provides information to have a good-looking,
easy-to-use, responsive website. Many people, while doing their
research, review our company s online presence and families and
professionals see it as a reliable source of information. The website
also acts as an essential part of our triage approach to managing
demand on our casework service. Secure web enquiry forms are
integrated to our Casework Management System (CMS).
SNAP Cymru's website has been entirely developed in house. The
website includes information, advice, and guidance for the new ALN
legislation as well as support for those children and young people
who remain in the old system.

3. Future Plans
Due to the changes in legislation, planning for the future has been
challenging. However, we will continue to review our strategic business
plan to seek additional income to reduce the risk of reliance on
statutory and historic funding streams.
We will review and reflect on our working practices, using our learning
to implement the positive changes to ensure that we are efficient and
effective in meeting our charitable objectives and provide value for
money to our funders.
The long-term commitment of our staff and volunteers and the time
and experience they have given to SNAP Cymru has helped us deliver
fantastic services and overcome the challenges we face in
maintaining and improving our viability. As the only independently
quality assured pan Wales charity to offer independent specialist,
expert help with a range of educational issues we strive to ensure our
continued existence. Good internal communication ensures that we
can think and act together for sustainability. Staff and volunteers are
the greatest part of SNAP Cymru's resilience, allowing the Trustees and
Chief Executive to act confidently and quickly after unexpected events
including difficulties accessing funding and the challenges faced to
meet a growing demand for our services.
Specialist Quality Mark
We are delighted that the SQM for Education Advice was successfully
renewed during April, In preparation for this rigorous audit, we
reviewed all services, practice, policies and procedures to ensure SNAP
Cymru compliance.
Training and information events
Funded by the Welsh Government, we are planning to further deliver
from SEN to ALN and POST-16 training events throughout Wales on top
of the 24 training and information events we held this year. SNAP
Cymru has developed a range of professional training modules which
will be marketed throughout the year. We see this as an important
funding stream going forward.

Office re-locations
Page 21
With one lease coming to an end, we have successfully re-located some staff
to a new office premises located in Upper Boat after the year end. The
relocation took place as planned with no impact to services
Retail
Due to the warehouse lease coming to an end, SNAP Cymru will be closing its
retail operation in April 2024. The shop owned by SNAP Cymru, Elizabeth
House in Middleton Street Llandrindod Wells is to be re-purposed.
Volunteering
SNAP Cymru's volunteer recruitment strategy will continue to increase
volunteer hours along with high quality training and development
opportunities. We value our volunteers gift of time.
Staff and volunteers
We value our staff and volunteers and the skills and experience they bring to
the organisation. This year, we will continue to seek ways to enhance the
package we are able to offer, enabling us to retain a high quality workforce.
Sustainability
Our staffing structure remains in line with contract values and spend.
We have new resources and developed training to support the continuing
ALN reforms, inclusion, equality and to raise awareness of discrimination.
Training demand is high. SNAP Cymru will take advantage of this by offering
high quality and affordable training to professionals and others. We will
continue to seek new ways of improving accessibility for isolated
communities and other hard to reach groups and individuals.
Environmental
We will continue to monitor the impact SNAP Cymru's activities has on the
environment. For example, the development of video conferencing has led to
a decrease in mileage throughout the organisation saving on costs and
emissions. The development of cloud based IT systems has decreased the
need for physical servers, saving purchase costs and energy and the
development enhanced working practices has decreased the need for
printing and posting.

4. Strategic Report- Financial Review of the
Year
Review ofthe year
The Charity is reporting an overall surplus for the year on unrestricted funds
of £8,368 and a surplus on restricted funds of £556. At the end of financial
year, the level of unrestricted reserves has increased from £812,842 to
£821,210, the level of restricted reserves has increased from £9,619 to £10,175.
Investment Policy
The Charity has no investment powers except to place any surplus funds
into instant or fixed term deposit accounts.
Reserves Policy
The trustees acknowledge the need to retain the level of available reserves
held to ensure the continuance of at least the current level of service
delivery. The annual staff costs are currently just over £770K and the
trustees are aware of the time delays when applying for new funding
streams. This policy is reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the year
when finance reports are presented, having regard to the financial and
operational risks faced by the Charity. The trustees have determined that
the minimum level of cash reserves below which they feel it would be
imprudent to continue operations would be £300k. To assist with their
monitoring of reserves, the trustees have set aside a designated reserve of
this amount to ensure the continuance of a national service.
This forms part of the minimum reserve levels reviewed by the Trustees. As
well as physical cash, the Charity will need reserves to provide sufficient
resources to structure a voluntary withdraw should it not be able to
continue. The Charity believes that it will have a three-month window at
any given time within which such plans would need to be enacted.

Forward Planning
SNAP Cymru relies heavily upon external funding which has become
increasingly competitive through tendering processes. Charities are
competing for a smaller funding pot available to the third sector. In
addition, SNAP Cymru delivers projects for which restricted income is
received, whilst this funding is crucial to project delivery it is sometimes
insufficient to satisfy the organisation's objectives and risks core
activities.
We continue to review our strategic business plan to seek additional
sustainable income to reduce the risk of reliance on statutory funding
streams. We are working to improve and streamline our data collation
and dissemination to meet contractual obligations and also seek longer
term contracts for our service delivery. We will build on our growing
reputation in training and policy work through developing and
marketing our expertise within the field of family partnership and
education to meet new demands and opportunities.

The Trustees (who are also the directors of SNAP Cymru 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 companys 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 ouditors are aware of that
information.
Auditors
The auditors, Haines Watts Wales LLP, Statutory Auditors, will be proposed for re-appointment
at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

As explained more fully in the Slalemenl of Trustees. Responsibilities, the Iruslees (who are also the directors of the charitable
company lor the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial slalemenls and for being satisfied that
they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the Iruslees delemine is necessary lo enable the preparation ol financial
statements that are free from material misslalement, whether due lo fraud or error.
In preparing the financial slatemenls, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going
contsrn, disclosing, as applicable, mallers related to going Concern and using the going con￿rn basis of accounting unless the
trustees either intend lo Iiquicsale the charitable company or lo cease operations. or have no realistic alternative bul lo do so.
Our responslbilitles for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slalemenls as a whole are free from material
mis51alemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a gu8mnlee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delect
a material misslalemenl when il exists. Misslalements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could réasonably be expected lo Influen￿ the economic decisions ol users taken on the basis of these financial
slalemenls.
The exlenl lo which our procedures a￿ capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
Our planning procedure5 identify the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable lo the operations and financial slalemenls of the
company. These are reviewed internally with the audit team including relevant industry experience and expectations as well as
externally with the client management. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context were the UK Companies Act 2006.
Charities SORP IFRS 1021 'Ac¢ounling and Reporting by Charities.. Slalement of Recommended Practice applicable lo charities
preparing their accounts In accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.. UK GA4P
IFRS 1021 and relevant lax legislation.
Once identified, we assess the risks of material misslalemenls in relation lo the laws and regulations, irregularities. including fraud
and adjust our lesling accordingly. Our audit procedures include..
Discussing with Trustees and management which areas of the business they believe lo be more susceptible lo fraud, and
whether they have any knowledge or suspicion ol fraudulent aclivilies,.
Obtaining an understanding of the key controls pul in place by the company lo address risks identified, assessing the
effectiveness of those and discussing how these are maintained and monitored internally.,
Assessing the risk of management override and review and lesling of journal entries made into the accounting system".
Discussing with Trustees and Management the legal and regulatory obligations ol the business and whether they have any
knowledge or suspicion ol non compliance.
Despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI there remains an unavoidable risk that material
misslalemenls in the financial slalemenls may not be detected owing lo inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very natu￿,
any such instances of fraud or irregularities likely involve ¢ollu$ion, forgery, intentional mi3represenlalion, or the override of internal
controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council,
website al WWM.frc org.uklaudilorsresponsibililies. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors
