Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
To promote the rights, interests and inclusion of people with a learning disability and l or Autism
spectrum condition, AMW provides Independent Advocacy services primarily in Cardiff and Vale of
Glamorgan.
Independent Advocates employed by AMW provide time limited, issue based advocacy seNice to
support individuals to address specific problems and issues. Requests for Independent Advocacy
are confidential and are accepted as a self-referral, from families I friends, organisations and
Social services. Independent Advocates do not make decisions for people, or tell people what is
best for them. Their role is to help people understand their rights and any choices they may have.
If necessary, an Independent Professional Advocate will speak up for people and represent them.
Our Independent advocacy services are a Free and Confidential service for all adults with a
learning disability and / or Autism spectrum condition who live in our geographical areas of
operation.
AMW has had an active service user group since 2005. The Voices of Advocacy Matters (Wales),
known as the Voices Group have lived experiences of learning disabilitylautism and independent
advocacy. The Voices Group is currently made up of seven members (volunteers) who act as
Ambassadors, for our Charity, playing a central role within the organisation and representing us at
public functions and events to promote advocacy and our services. The Voices Group share their
personal experiences of advocacy and how it has given them a voice, increased their confidence
and sense of well-being to lead fulfilled and independent lives.
Achievements and performance
The foundations of Advocacy Matters (Wales) began over 30 years ago and our Independent
Advocacy services continue to be in great demand.
During the 2023-24 period we continued to foster a collaborative, friendly and respectful
environment for our clients, enabling these individuals to voice their opinions and actively
contribute to the planning and delivery of their own services. Our commitment to empowerment
and self-determination remained woven into every aspect of the delivery of our services, reflecting
our dedication to deliver assistance that truly prioritized the autonomy and agency of the
individuals we support.
By providing unbiased, professional support, we continued to empower individuals to navigate
complex systems, understand their rights, and make informed choices about their care. Our
commitment to independence ensured that our advocates remained free from conflicts of interest,
always prioritizing the individual's viewpoint. Through building collaborative partnerships, we were
able to build relationships of trust with the people we worked with, creating a supportive
environment that fostered Se￿-determinatlQn. Our advocacy services were not just a mechanism
for problem-solving during this time., they also demonstrated a continuous commitment to
sustaining the autonomy and dignity of our clients, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of their
lives.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Independent Advocates continued to work with adults with learning disabilities andlor Autism
spectrum conditions on a diverse range of challenging issues in the local community.
As well as providing this open, generic service, the advocacy team also provided a regular surgery
style independent advocacy service for out of county patients placed at Witla Court and Wentwood
Court community homes. They also provided this service at Pinetree Court, a locally based
independent hospital in Cardiff.
We continued to expand our service into residential homes across Cardiff and the Vale through our
'Count me in, project, through three-year grant funding awarded from the National Lottery
Community Fund.
We also continued to provide independent advocacy to support people with learning disabilities
who were facing financial hardship and social exclusion across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan,
through a three year grant awarded from The Henry Smith Charity.
During this period the charity continued to receive a number of telephone enquiries from
individuals, organisations and local authorities seeking independent advocacy services outside of
our areas of operation. Using our database of organisations and agencies across Wales, we were
able to signpost appropriately to specialist services that operate in other local authority areas.
We continue to develop our well established 'Voices of AMW, service user group, which is
facilitated by our taking part worker. This group consists of volunteer former service users. they
support the organisation in a number of ways; including working with other groups to feedback
their experience of social services in the region.
We also supported people to provide responses following the 2017 review of complex day services
across Cardiff and the Vale. This year we provided advocacy support to represent the views and
wishes of 17 service users, as part of a Board of Representatives set up regarding the potential to
move their Day Service to a new location.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial Review and Reserves Pollcy
The accounts show a deficit for 2024 year of £29,415 on income of £320,360 compared to a
surplus £1,242 in 2023 on income of £362,558.
The trustees of AMW recognise their legal duty to apply income funds for the objects of the
Charity, within a reasonable time of receipt for the benefit of actual and potential seNice users and
beneficiaries. The trustees have determined the principles and holding reserves as being..
a) To assist in the strategic planning of services
b) To provide a resource to meet legal obligations and liabilities
c) To assist in the maintenance of the Organisation's independence
The trustees recognise that the policy needs to be flexible enough to accommodate changes
brought about by new developments and external factors outside of the control AMW. However
the trustees believe that it is necessary to hold defined levels of financial reserves to absorb
setbacks and to take advantage of change and opportunity.
The trustees aspire to hold a minimum of six months average expenditure, plus additional
obligations such as rent notice and redundancies in free resenies to ensure the principal objects of
the Charity are met. The unrestricted reserves brought forward have decreased during the year by
£15,715 to leave a balance at 31st March 2024 of £193,878. The trustees are aware that the
unrestricted reserves held are below the level they aspire to hold and will continue to take steps in
the future to increase reserves.
The trustees formally review the Policy on an annual basis.
The Directorsrrrustees submit herewith the annual report and financial statements for the year
ended 31 st March 2024.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under
FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102)
'Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019),, Financial
Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland, and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has
entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can
be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of
income..
i) Voluntary income is received by way of donations and is included in accounts when
receivable.
ii) Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance
by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to
the grant which will normally be when the grant is actually received. Grants, where
related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity
earns the right to consideration by its performance. Deferred income represents
grant monies received for future periods and released to incoming resources in the
period to which it relates.
iii) Trading income is included when receivable.
iv) Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can
be quantified and are material.
v) Investment income and all other income is recognised when receivable.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive
obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of
economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be
measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been
classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot
be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis
consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets

estimated useful life.
