Introduction
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report and accounts for the year ending 31 March
2024. These have been prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors, report and accounts for the
purposes of the Companies Acts.
The financial statements comply wlth the Charitles Act 2011, the Companies Att 2006, the
Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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). The Financial
Reporting Standard came into effect from 1 January 2015.
Our purposes The Objects of the Company are set out in its Memorandum of Association. The Objects
for which the Company is established are to be effected within the United Kingdom ("The area of
Benefit") and are to promote the relief of persons residing In the Area of Benefit being persons in need
of such relief by reasons of age, illness, physical disability, sensory disability, mental distress, learning
disabilities or other disadvantages by developing, supportlng, promoting and providing a variety of
advocacy, representation, appointee and other services to such people to enable them to manage
their affairs in a way which will improve their overall quality of life and to promote such other
charitable purposes as may be beneficial to such persons.
Detail is provided in this report on the ways in which the Charity has supported the achievement of its
purposes through varied activities during the financial year. Having reviewed the level of public benefit
and social impact provided by the Charity as identified in these Objects and Activities during the year
the trustees are satisfied that the Charity meets the conditions set out in the guidance provided by the
Charity Commission.
Structure, governance and management of the organisation
Warwickshire Independent Advocacy Alliance (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee,
formed in March 2000, adopted by Special Resolution in January 2001 and by way of Written Resolution
in June 2012. The Company is a registered charity, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
The Board of Trustees administers the charity. The Board has been meeting monthly throughout the
year whilst our trustee numbers have not been sufficient for the normal bi-monthly meetings and the
normal work of subcommittee's covering Human Resources, and Finance and Audit which previously
met bi-monthly has been handled at the board meetings. A Chief Executive was appointed by the
Trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity, but the post was made redundant in
December 2022. On 16th October 2024 Mike Lee was appointed as Chief Executive having previously
been the lead officer as Operations manager.

The Trustees report:
The Trustees continue to support the charity's objects. The continued reductlon in funding has meant
further focus on cost control and reduction.
Highlights during the year include the following:
Outputs and Outcomes
During the year we directly supported over 500 people across Wanwickshire, Solihull and Coventry and
indirectly over 1700 people, professionals and organisations.
Our work and the ind ividual outcomes we achieve for people we work with cover Corporate
Appointeeship, Statutory Advocacy, non statutory Advocacy, Parental Advocacy, Nearest Relative and
Community Support in Bedworth and surrounding area.
The Advocacy Hub
There are many people whose individual circumstances preclude thern from being able to take part
fully in important discussions that they themselves are the subject of. Disability and cognitive
impairment in particular, present barriers to understanding and engaging with the often complicated
processes that can result in life changing consequences. Our advocacy service aims to support each
individual to exercise as much control over thelr lives as possible. We worked with around 250 people
in our advocacy services during the year.
Independent Advocacy is partnered with Sol ihull Action through Advocacy to deliver'solihull First
Advocacy" from 2019 until 2024. We deliver the following Statutory Advocacy Services in Solihull:
Stututory IMHA seNices under the Mental Health Act 2007.
Community Peer Support. We provide mental well-being "peer support groups" These peer
support groups will be assisting individuals with their own support planning (so they can go on
to support others) and in building confidence and community inclusion.
Care ActAdvoc(7cy contractfor Mental Health Seniice users. We provide assessment support and
review referrals from Mental Health Social Workers as per the guidelines under the use of
Independent Advocacy in the Care Act 2014.
NHS Complaints Advocucy. Support for people to raise concerns they may have about their
treatment, or that of a family member, through the NHS complaints procedure. The aim is for
speedy local resolution. Assistance can be given in referring complaints to the Ombudsman.
IMCA ~ Independent Mental Capacity Advocates work with client5 where a decision needs to be
made around long term accommodation or serious medical treatment but a client lacks the
capacity to do so.
As well as our statutory work in Solihull we also deliver the following advocacy in both Solihull and
further afield:

Relevant paid repre5entotive - These advocates work with clients who are in a care or nursing
home. They visit the client and liaise with their care providers to ensure that thelr liberty is not
being overly restricted.
Parental (Child protection advocacy) - Advocates work with clients who are involved in the child
protection process. They attend meetings with or on behalf of clients including court hearings.
Our advocates also liaise with social workers to help clients express their wishes and feelings
and understand their rights. This is funded by spot purchase and is not restricted to a
geographlc area.
Private advocacy- We occasionally get requests from individuals who cannot access advocacy
from other sources to attend meetings or undertake work for them as spot purchase. This
service is not limited to a geographic area.
Nearest relative - The nearest relative is a person or organisation who has certain responsibilities
and powers if you are detained in hospital under the Mental Health Act. These include the right
to information and to dlscharge in some sltuations.
The Money Hub
The Money Hub provlded a Corporate Appolntee SeNice for people within Warwickshire, Solihull,
Coventry, Northamptonshire, Leicester, Birmingham and Lincolnshire throughout the year.
Corporate Appointee means that we are authorised by the Department for Work and Pensions to
manage benef its on behalf of people who do not have the capacity to do so themselves. The service
protects people's benefits and ensures that they are able to spend them as they wish within a set
budget and also safeguards against financial abuse. During the year our Corporate Appointee service
worked with over 200 clients, safeguarding their benefits and managing their finances.
The Community Hub
Bedworth Community Corner:
The Bedworth Community Corner and Charity Shop offered good quality items at well below the
normal retail prices and is stocked from donations from the surrounding community. The Corner also
offers a meeting place for people to have a drink and chat. The community is also welcome to come in
and discuss their problems with trained staff and find solutions to their issues or are signposted to a
more relevant organisation. The Corner has hosted several events including a mental health self help
group arts group. The Corner also engages volunteers to help in the shop and offers internships to
pupils from a local special needs college. Due to the lack of sufficient income from the shop and
community hub the shop and hub closed in June 2024 and the registered office is now based in
Leamington Spa.

Governance
Recruitment and appointment of Board of Trustees
The Directors of the Company are also Charity Trustees for the purpose of Charity Law and under the
CoMpan￿S Articles are also members of the Company. Under the requirements of the Memorandum
and Articles of Association at each Annual General Meeting one third of directors stand down on a
rotation basis after which they can be re-elected.
Trustees are briefed by staff members on the work they do by briefings at Board meetlngs, which
ensures that Trustees are kept up-to-date with the charitys work.
Risk Management
The Board of Trustees has undertaken a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A
Risk Register has been established and is formally reviewed by the Board annually or if there are
material changes in the charitys operating environment. Where appropriate, systems or procedures
have been established to mitigate the risks the Charity faces.
Systems of internal control and delegated authority are in place with robust procedures for
authorisation of all transactions. The organisation ensures that policies and procedures are in place
and that training is delivered to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff. volunteers and
clients. All procedures and policies are reviewed regularly to ensure they continue to reflect best
practice and remain relevant.
Quality Assurance
In addition to using the QPM for quality in Advocacy Services, Service User feedback is a key part of
our quality assurance and the Charity is further developing opportunities for service user engagement.
Financial Review
(These need to be the figures shown in the y/e accounts).
The Charity made a deficit of £10,488 in the financial year- in comparison to lastyear's deficit of
£15,102.
Warwlckshire Independent Advocacy again showed a deficit in operations during this financial year
due to difficulties in securing income. The board continues to monitor finances very closely and retain
our designated reserves to a prudent level.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources are Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Solihull Action Through
Advocacy, war￿[ckShire County Council, Coventry City Council. Some smaller grants came from
Councillors in Warwickshire.

Reserves Policy
The Reserves Policy has been set to ensure:
Reserves are maintained at a level, which ensures our company core activity could continue du ring
a period of unforeseen difficulty by retaining funds to cover our long-term Ilabilltles and enable six
months operation at reduced run ning costs.
Maintain a proportion of reserves in a readily realisable form to meet liabilities including
redundancy payments and commitments to Staff, partners and creditors should the charity cease
to operate.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have wide powers of investrnent. The investment policy of the Trustees is to protett all
capital sums held by prudent investment. Consequently, surplus funds are normally held as short-term
deposits in the money market with the Charity's bank or invested In term deposit accounts.
Funds held on behalf of others
Warwickshire Independent Advocacy Alliance has custody of £2,979,982 held on behalf of
Appointeeship clients. These funds are held in a designated client account, and do not form part of the
Charity's assets.
Fundraising Policy
Warwickshire I ndependent Advocacy Alliance actively fundraises for its work. We do not envisage
substantially using third party suppliers but we are involving volunteers.
Data Protection
Warwickshire Independent Advocacy Alliance takes data protection very seriously. We have a clear
Privacy Policy, Data Protection Policy, Confidentlality Policy and Data Processing Statement. We
already use Charity Los a Cloud-based secure case management system for all our client records.
