OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Page 2

Reading Community Welfare Rights Unit Trustees Annual Report

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objectives of the service are to benefit the population of Greater Reading by the relief of poverty, sickness and distress. These objectives are achieved by giving advice and assistance to people in respect of their rights to benefits as required.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit both when reviewing the service's aims and objectives and when planning its future activities.

RCWRU provides advice and support to people on their benefits claims, including to people in work, not in work and to those seeking to get into work. Examples of when the support is needed are when people are wrongly denied benefits by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), when people have their benefits cut after a review where the assessment is faulty, or where the process of completing the complex paperwork is beyond the individual applicant’s capabilities. Support can consist of simply providing advice including what their entitlement should be but more often involves helping clients make formal appeals and taking unresolved cases to tribunals where we will work with the clients to make their case.

A larger charity must provide an explanation of its aims, including details of the issues it seeks to tackle and the changes or differences it seeks to make through its activities...

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The 2024-25 financial year has seen Reading Welfare Rights continue to provide its service to clients across Reading and beyond in the greater Reading area. Methods of working have been developed to be a more flexible service to clients which includes continuing to meet clients by appointment at our office, as well as providing support over the telephone or email but also meeting clients at other venues which are easier for them to get to, including visiting them at home where necessary. We collaborate with various charities in Reading through the Tackling Poverty Partnership to provide diverse support. We refer clients to these charities and receive referrals from them. In addition we have been successful in gaining a number of charitable grants to expand our work and a number of other smaller grants from local charities.

Through our work local residents have successfully been awarded over £2 million in benefits from the DWP during the year, money which is paid directly by DWP to the people we have supported. This is a significant contribution to our clients’ ability to live independently, avoiding poverty and getting into debt.

Once again I must thank our staff and volunteers, including trustees, for their commitment to our work, which is often life saving for our clients.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Looking to the future RWR is aware of an excess in demand for our services some of which is likely to have been created by the pandemic. We endeavour to meet these needs, sometimes with the support of our partners, volunteers and other individuals. We aim to continue to support our community in years to come.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

RWR is controlled by its governing document, The memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. In accordance with the Memorandum of Association each present member has undertaken to contribute the sum of £1 in the event of winding up. As the service is a registered charity, any surplus upon a winding up would be distributed to another charity with similar objects, as the members are prohibited from benefiting from the company.

The Board seeks to recruit new trustees from the wider community in Reading to provide a range of skills and views.

The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Page 8

Reading Community Welfare Rights Unit Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
