We are a charity that was set up in 1965 by local families and as such, we have deep roots. in Ealing that stretch
back almost 60 years. Equally, we're part of the national M¢n¢ap network of 300 learning disability clwities and
we proudly work alongsid¢ them and many other local Ealing, Hounslow and other North West London charities,
community groups, statutory bodies and corporate partners to achieve our aims and deliver on our mission for the
people we serve.
We raise our own fund5 (independently of national Mencap) to ensure that we can contlDue to co-produce,
develop, deliver and sustain services and support that are most relevant to our people and our communities.
Changing lives for the better

According to the most recent local data we have, more than 5,500 people with a learning disability are living in
our community and whilst a sizable proportion of thos¢ are reliant on help from their neighbours and families,
many are in need of support services, activities and engagement that can only come from being ￿llY included into
a welcoming, accessible and aspirational community.
And by aspirational, at Ealing Mencap, we mean &gpirational in the sense that - for each and every person with
learning disabilities, learning difficulties and/or additional needs - we aspire to ensure that each and every one of
our customers has the opportunities and support necessary so that they can achieve their full, personal potential
and a meaningful and happy life.

. The ITT ieam have piloteAI and are now running regular online Parent Forums with tb¢ aim lo increase education
to families of the ￿ process. and to decrease resistance in the long terni. To date two have been held. with a
school-targeled event in the planning stsges, and bave proved beneficial for parents who have attended so far.
. The Bus Day events have also been increasing in popularity - with the next event quickly becoming fully-booked
and waiting lists being created for future dates.
. The Project has faced some difficulties for part of the year whilst operating with a smaller team, having the
capacity to support fewer students and families as a result.
. There has been an increase in demand for post-independent support from the team due to tbe increasing needs of
our cohort in the past year, therefore baving an impact upon capacity io support new and current students.
Here is a testimonial from one family:
"Our son, J. tookpossibly longer ihan a typical student referred to tkis scheme, but they have been verypatient

Financial Review
The charity Sustained a loss for the year of £135,041 after depreciation of £46,706 was charged. The financial
perfomiance of ¢ach of our seTvices is closely managed to ensure that they are financially viable on a continuing
basis.
This financial year has been one of transition for Ealing Mencap, which has seen thc retirement of two long-
standing and very senior members of staff (including the CEO) and the recruitment of a number of new Trustees to
the Board, including a new Chair, all of who bring with them a wealth of experience, energy and commitment to
the charity.
To mitigate against the impact that such high-level changes can make withtn a relatively small sized charity,
Trustees decided io pursue a policy of growth and investment ('Survive & Thrive,) to ensure that the incoming
CEO and Cbair had tbe necessary resources and expertlse available to them to reorganise and repurpose Ealing
Mencap and put it on a sustainable fooling, such that it would be able to meet the ever-evolving needs of an
increasingly diverse local community.
To support this strategic ambition, the 'Survive & Thrive, fund of £169,260 (2023 £216,900) was deSI￿ated out
of the charity's reserves to enable this charity to diversify its income portfolio, reconnect with local stakeholders in
the nmup to it's 60th Anniversary in 2025, and to develop new and relevant services that would be c0-desi￿]ed
and co-produced with customers, their families and local stakeholders.
Th¢refore, in line with the Survive & Thrive plan, Trustees were aware that this financial year would report a
deficit against budgel. However, it is pleasing to note that of the planned deficit set at the start of this financial
year of £198,298 the charity has perfornied better than expected.
Overall, th¢ financial p¢rforn)antt of Ealing Mencap during this fjnancial year has been in line with Trustee
forecasts and expectations and the Board is now focusing its energies and expertise on the challenges ahead,
working with the new CEO to build posilively on what has been a relatively Positive year from a financial
perspective.
Wider flnAnelAI context, next steps
Socio-Polltlcal-Economic context
In line with our voluntary sector partners in the borough, we have be¢D operating against a backdrop of over I I
years of 'austerity', for exarnple, Ealing Council's ￿aTrt from central government had been cut by 64 0/0 (based on
a 2020 report by the London Councils organisation). And, during the 2023-24 financial year, Ealing Council faced
a fimding gap of £37.7 mAllion with a predominant 'oveTsp¢nd', particularly in social services.
And, at the time of writing, whilst there has been a change of national govcrnment, it is far too soon to expect that
.. there will be any immediate uplift in central government spending rounds and its health & social care spending. As
such, we do not foresee changes to the way that local councils like Ealing comrnission services in the short to
mcdium terni.
And, as we reported in our last set of annual accounts, whilst we have developed one of the largesi personal
budgets funded adult day activities provision in Ealing, we do not exp¢ct the ￿ndIng model for it to stay static.
And nor do w¢ ¢xpect th¢ n¢¢ds of th¢ people w¢ scrv¢ lo stay static.
Page 10

Next steps
To quote the VUCA model of thinking, we exist in a socio-political environment that is increasingly volatile,
uncertain, complex and ambiguous, and that is why Ealing Mencap's Trustees and senior management team have
taken the decisions they have this year with the Survive & Thrive plan, which will take 2 to 3 years to be fully
realised. However, the goal is to ensure that - ahead of the charity's 60th Anniversary in 2025 - Ealing Mencap is a
sustainable, relevant and purposeful 2 1st century charity that provides co-produced and co-produced services and
support to the local community, wkn'ch it has proudly served since 1965.
Culture change programme
To achieve these ambitions and before setting a new Strategy for the charity, Ealing Mencap will undergo a
'culture change, transforn]ation process in the next fInancial year, during which it will consult with custorners,
families, partners. staff, volunteers and other stakeholders in order to acllleve the following:
. Through cultural change and a new future vision and purpose, bring the charity back to its roots, centered at the
heart of the local community.
. Measure the impact of the culture change programme over the next 2 years, and adapt and evolve it to ensure
success.
Deliver an aligned 3-year strategic plan and a 12-month op¢rational plan that br￿gS the culture to life for
everyone involved in the charity.
A Note of heartfelt Thanks
Trustees would like to take this opportunity to note their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Maureen Schofield,
our long-serving Business Support Manager wbo retired after 25 years of outstanding contribution and service to
Ealing Mencap and the community of people the charity has served during that time. During her time, Maureen
worked alongside three Chief Executive Officers and countless other staff, volunteers and customers and never
wavered in her commitment to the charity's mission and vision.
One of the CEOS that MauTeen worked alongside was Lesl¢y Dodd. who berself retired from her role in October
2023 after 12 years of outstanding leadership and contribution to the charity and its community of people.
Included amongst her many successes at Ealing Men¢ap, is the foundation and successful launch of the Ealing
Advice Service, and the creation of the Realme and Dare ￿ Dream servi¢¢s - all of which have mad¢ a huge
impact in the borough.
Both Maureen and Lesley will be very much missed by all. but they have all of EaliDg Mencap's best wishes for a
long, healthy and happy r¢tirement.
Reserves Poli¢y and Going Concern
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned
emergency repairs and other expenditure. The Trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves as at 31 March
2024 would be the equivalellt of 3 months budgeted costs plus 12 months mortgage captial repayments which was
£538,000. The charity had unrestricted reserves of £625.126 which exceeds the tsrg¢t level set.
