NORFOLK COMMUNITY LAW SERVICE LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED31 MARCH 2025 ACHIEVEMENTSAND PERFORMANCE Charitable a¢tivitie5 Demand tor NCLS, servi5 continues to show no slgn of abating. NCLS helped 4.645 clients with 4,973. legal issues during the 2024/25 financial year. This represents an Increase of 42% since 2021122 and of these 3,160 were new Llients. As such, 2024125 saw NCLS move to a bigger office in the city so that we can better servlce the needs of our clients, staff and volunteers. This increase is largely driven by a 'triple whammv effect. The problems we help people with are increasing, people's abllity to pay for legal support is diminishing and other support services avalldble are reducing in numbers. Many of our clients are still.struggling in poveity, unable to afford basic5 such as food, clothes and energy supply. NCLS continues to provide frep legal advice clinlcs wlth the a551Stance of local solicitors, who provide their services on a pro bono basis. We currently have 85 solicitors on our pro-bono rota and In 2024125 they provlded 857 hours of free advlce. Our Specialist Debt Servi, delivered by a team of eXperIend paid advisers, contlnued I'o provide advice on budgeting, income maximisatlon e.g. benefit entitlement, identifying priority debts and negotlatlng with creditors on the clienvs behaK. Most clients have muEtiple debts, worth many thousands of pounds, so negotl8tlng with creditors can be very time-consuming. Clients are assisted to implement their chosen debt remedy e.g. debt rellef order, bankruptcy or pro-rata payments. We try to ensure that a client's debt issues are resolved to ensure they can make a fresh start unencumbered by debt. In 2024/25 we helped 682 cllents and successfully ensured £1.4m of debt was written off or renegotiated. We continue to pursue a more proactive outreach approach to debt advice. We partner wlth homeless charity St Martins, in a project aiming to break the cycle of debt, homelessness and criminal activity by offering highly-5pecialist debt advice to a vulnerable group of people. as well as hosting specific outreach sessions in Great Yai'mouth and King's Lynn. We continued to operate a Rent Arrears Medlation Service for flJonNich City Council housing lenants, which is partially funded by Nonvich City Council. Our Famlly Court Support Servl£e asslsted the Incroaslng numbers of litigants in person in the family courts to navigate their case and represent themselves as effertwely as possible. We offer free advice from our family solicitors, support with form fillin& statements etc, and volunteer McKenzie Friends to support clienis at court hearings. This service mainly deals With child coritact matters and supported 486 people through 2024/25. We also continued to run specialist domestic abuse clinics to support victims of abuse who are applying for protective injunctions who may not be pligible for legal aid. 174 people were. helped in 2024125 through this service and in this time we also added a qualified solicitor to the team to further Increase tkie level of support we can offer. Our specialist Welfare Benefits Service provided advi, casework and representation at Tribunal for clients appealing against a refusal or loss of benefit or to challenge the amount they have been awarded. We use a team of law students and other volunteers managed by experienced paid advisers wl70 make written submissions on the client's behalf e.g. to the Department of Work and Pensions {DWP) or Iociil authority and represent the cllent at Tribunal. National Tribunal Service statistics sliow thpre is a much greater
NORFOLK COMMUNITY LAW SERVICE LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THEYEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 chance of success where the appellant is represented and in 2024125 we ensured that £2.4m of welfare benefits was awarded and paid back to clients. We continued to provide specialist Immigration Advi for migrant workers, asylLim seekers and refugees around issues of residency status and entitlement to public services as well as representation for welfdre beneflt appeals, challenging DWP and Home Offire. decisions on behalf of dients and representlng them at Tribunal. Many of the DWP decisions we challenge are overturned without. going to Tribundl. We SUPPOrted client5 who had 'No Recourse to Public Funds, e.g. migrant victlms of domestic abuse who lose thelr resldency statUJf when they leave an abuslve partner, to access welfaie benefi1,5 and other public SerVis. Demand for t'hls service. is also growing ané 1.053 people were helped in 2024/2J. Our outreach Servi was extended during 2024125 and now employs two Mobile Legal Advisers with the dual aim of hosting triage sessions in our harder-to-reach communities and raising awareness of the work we do. We now hold outreach sessions at 32 locations, an almost 50 percent 5ncrease on the year before. All our servlces are delivered with the support of around 50 volLJnteer UEA law stude.nts in accordance wSth a partnership agreement with the Universlty of East An8lia. This provides valuable experience to the students as they look to gain their first roles in wlthin the leg31 sector. NCIS is also the lead agency for the Norfolk Communtty Advice Network {NCAN), a network of voluntary agencies {e.g. Cltizens Advice, ShelteF, Age UK) and statutory authoritles working together to promote access to social welfare advice in Norfolk. NCAN operates an electronlc client referral system ensurlng there is 'No Wrong Door,, i.e. no matter where clients enquire, they can be referred dlrect to the most appropriate agency to athiise them. FINANCIAL REVIEW Prlnclpal fundlng sources We rely on a mix of SeiCe level agreements and grants as well as charitable donations to moet our costs. Our strategy for fundraising is to ensure we are not dependent on a few large funders. In recent years we have been successful in securing more multp-year fundin& but the majority of grarits are awarded on an annual basis. Reserves policy The dlrector5 have examlned the charitV'5 requirements for reserves in the light of the tTiain risks to the organi5ation. The directors have established a policy that the charity's revenue Te5erves, which have not been committed or invested In tangible fixed assets, should represent three to four months of estimated total annual expenditure. The rpserves are needed to meet the charity's working capltal requirements and the directors believe that maintaining reserves at the tsrget level would provide for the finrincing of a controlled reduction in the scope of the charity's operations in the event of a slgnificant drop in funding. Budgeted expenditure for NCLS (excluding NCAN) for 2025/26 is £1,214,924 and therefore the target for revenue reserves is between £303,731 and £404,975. As at 31 March 2025, revenue reserves amounted to £372,001 (Net current assets) and so the reserves policy was satisfied at that date. The budgete.d e.xpenditure for NCAN for 2025126 is £215,678 and therefore the target for revenue reserves
NORFOLK COMMUNITY LAW SERVICE LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Is between £53,919 akid £71,893. As at 31 March 2025, revenue reserves amounted to £403,329 (Net current assets) and so the reserves policy was satisfied at that date. Resenies are sufficient to fund continuing operations in the short term, but the directors continually monitor both the ongoing financial viability of the charity and endeavor to raise additional Funding. Plaiis for future periods NCLS continues to work towards its key objertives set out in its Strateglc Plan 2024-27; providing hlgh quality legal case work, aCsSIble service5, identlfying legal gaps, campaignlng for our cllentg rights, creating a positive and diverse work envlronment and prioritising our long-term sustainability. NCLS plans to continue to offer senfices on a hybrld basis to suit the individual needs of clients, but also ensuring everyone in Norfalk can access our servlces, should they be required. As such we continue to put inCaSed importance on our outreach work and making sure that those Ilving in isola'ted parts of Norfolk can access us. Whi15t demand is such that we will likely continue to grow our provision acro.ss Norfolk, it is vital we do so wlthout impact.ing the quality of prctVi5Ion we offer to dients. It is unlikely that demand for free legal advice wlll dlminish with an increasing number of people being made vulnerable by society and alternative options such as legal aid becomlng Increaslngly havder to atcess.

Oplnlons on other matters pre5crlbed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on ttrie work undertal(en in the course of the audit: the information given In the Report of the trustees for the financlal year for whlctri the financlal statements are prepared is conslstent wlth the financial statements" and the Report of the trustees has been prepclred in acc.ordance wlth appllcable legal requirements.

Responslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees, Responslbillties, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that tfriey give a true and fair view, and for such internal coiitrol as the trustees determTne is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free f'rorn matei.ial mi5Statement, whether due t'o fraud or error.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from matprial mlsstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independenl. Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a materlal misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arlse from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to Influen the economlc decisions of users taken on the basis of these financi31 statenlents.
NORFOLK COMMUNITY LAW SERVICE LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims and review of correspondence with legal advisors. Reviewing minutes of meetings of trustees. Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularitie5 occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors, report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's member5 as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
