those living and working in Lewisham. and the surrounding areas.
In partnership with other advice providers in Lewisham. we are able to advise and advocate for those who are in
need. With the continued cost of living crisis impacting more vulnerable familie5, we are secing an increase in
those rea¢hing out for support. Especially from the rising number of people accessing our drop-in and OLkt-reach
advice services.
It is vital that the trustees and Directors are well briefed and have continuing conversations about the developing
situation to ensure work is reflecting the needs of the comrnunit),.

Risks Moving into 2026
The Trustees are very awdre of the dilricult financial siiuation that confronts our local community and our
organisation. Our main grant funding from Lewisham Council NCIL ended last year. We are still rec¢iving
funding from the National Lottery for the next four years from November ?024.
We are actively looking to secure funding and ensure thai we have financial resilience going forward. Until we
do we continu¢ to support the work of the charity from our investment fund.
The services we provide offer a safe￿. net io stNggling families and vulnernble individuals and the need for our
services has become greater and conlinues to grow as a resuli of the costvof-living-crisis. It is becoming
increasingly diificult &£ many more charities struggle with limited financial resources. while council funding has
been drastically cut from central government.
Reviewing the effect of the cost of living crisis and its impact on our service and community needs to be
reviewed by the Direcior&lTrustees at every Board meeting over the next financial year, including measuring
service users and the type of enquiry that we are dealing with.
Operating in a Changing World
Like many charities around the world we find ourselves in a situalion where demand for our services IS
increasing, and. we anticipate, will continue lo increase while at the same time funding to deliver our services is
being cut, lost and harder to attain from grant givers under huge pressure from incre&8ed demand.
The Service Manager has increased capa¢ity by using other advice services and volunteers, without increasing
staffing costs. The Outreach Sessions at a Community Food Store. has reached a part of the Borough that was
described as 'hard to reach". often not trusting new services offered. Being part of an esiablished community
group has helped build trust and build a g(K)d developing relationship.
Trustees will have io work with the Service Manager to ensure the retention of staff as we see shortages in the
advice worker workforce across London. The Trustees are cqually conscious that 3 of our advisors are over the
state pension age.
It is vital that the organisation conlinue io look and win new sources of funding and a strategy for rdising funds
has been developed, which ihe dire¢torslTrustees have made central to their overdll strategic planning.
The Direei0r5￿ruSteeS regularly monitor and review the risks facing the charity and to ensure that appropriaie
plans and policies are in place.
Objectives ¥nd aims
Every year we work with clients io maximise their income through benefit applications. and assisl with appeals
and tribunals. We continue to support people to deal with changes to the benefit system, such as the Universal
Credit and changes to PIP and DLA. and oiher measures that have resulied in reduced income levels for the
families and individuals who seek our &ssistance. We expect to se¢ a high level of advice needed when the new
Awaab's Law comes into force.
CAW'S Domestic Violence (MOZAIC) services conlinue to grow and provid¢ 8 supportive environment in
which women can process their experience5. explore options. and pave ihe way for future change. Through
follow-up consultstions with women who rtc¢ived support. there was a reduction in the level of violent and
controlling behaviours and injuries and significant improvements in women's self<siccm, anxi¢ty, dcpression.
and self-efficacy.
