REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity's objects are to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in Wrexham County Borough, by the advancement of education, the protection and preservation of health and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress.

Aims, Objectives, Strategies and Activities for the Year

Wrexham & District Citizens Advice Bureaux aims to provide free, confidential, impartial and independent advice and information for the benefit of the local community, to exercise a responsible influence on the development of social policies and services and to ensure individuals do not suffer through a lack of knowledge or an inability to express their needs effectively.

In addition to the continuing provision of high-quality advisory services to the local community the primary objectives for the year were to extend the means of service provision to include telephone advice, and to establish a specialist debt advisory service staffed by appropriately qualified personnel.

To obtain the necessary funding to provide the additional services applications were made to various local and national providers of community finance. Advertisements were placed in the local press for advisory staff both as paid employees and volunteers, induction and training being provided to the extent that necessary knowledge and skills were not pre-existing.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commissioners in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

The principal activity of Citizens Advice remained the provision of free, confidential, independent and impartial advice, information and counsel for members of the public. This is provided through one main bureau and several outreaches in the borough. In addition to general advice the following specialist advisory services were provided:

Advisory services were provided through face-to-face consultations, telephone advice lines and various outreach services at community venues throughout the borough.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

During the year Wrexham & District Citizens Advice Bureaux worked with nearly 4,000 clients, and dealt with over 20,000 different issues, identified £1,104,857 worth of debts that clients have been assisted with either writing off through insolvency methods (Debt Relief Order) or setting up repayment plans where appropriate and assisted clients in maximising their income by £5,323,454. Through our work this maximised figure is income which has been brought into the County.

We are experiencing an increase in very complex cases which are taking longer to address. Issues for clients and their everyday lives are increasing, with the cost of living crisis having a severe impact. We are also spending a lot more time working with clients who are experiencing mental health problems.

Thanks to funding from Tudor Trust we continue to develop our 3-year partnership project with Advance Brighter Futures offering an early intervention and prevention service to clients to stop the escalation into a mental health pathway.

In addition thanks to funding from the Veterans Foundation we were able to expand our support for veterans. Thanks to funding from the Guardian, via National Citizens Advice we were able to increase our outreach to the gypsy and traveller communities.

Volunteers

Wrexham & District Citizens Advice Bureaux receives help and support in the form of voluntary assistance in advising the public and administering the charity. We are very grateful to our volunteers for their time and commitment.

Investment policy and objectives

As required in its memorandum paragraph 4 in furtherance of its objects, and for no other purposes, the charity has the power to invest the monies of the charity, not immediately required for its purposes, in or upon such investments, securities or property as may be thought fit, subject nevertheless to such conditions and such consents as may for the time being be imposed or required by law.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Under citizens advice head office membership compliance, Wrexham Citizens Advice Bureaux must maintain a level of reserves that is necessary to enable the charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer. The National Citizens Advice Bureaux consider that the most appropriate level of reserves would be three to six months of expenditure.

The level of designated reserves in this regard is currently set at five months expenditure. The trustees are of the opinion that there are sufficient funds to meet the charities obligations on a fund-by-fund basis

The trustees have this year created a designated reserve in relation to property maintenance and IT costs. The value of this reserve is currently £25,000 (2023: £nil)

Allocated to bureau are transfer costs from various project sources and the charity allocates some of this project funding allowances towards designated funds for the charity and, therefore, will meet full compliance of the citizens advice membership.

FUTURE PLANS

Wrexham & District Citizens Advice Bureaux aims to continually improve access to its services.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees keep its membership under annual review to ensure that there is effective representation from the local community. No other persons or bodies external to the charity were entitled to appoint persons to the trustee board.

Trustees must be a permitted person as defined by the Charities Act and of relevant skill or knowledge to the benefit of the Wrexham & District Citizens Advice Bureaux. Trustees are personally responsible for ensuring their skills and knowledge are maintained to a standard which encompasses changes in legislation impacting on the operational activities of the trust.

Organisational structure

The trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 4. Trustees are subscribers to the memorandum of association and the trustees are legally responsible for the overall management and control of the Wrexham & District Citizens Advice Bureaux.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WREXHAM AND DISTRICT CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAUX

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wrexham and District Citizens Advice Bureaux ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
