Annual Report to Trustees for the Year 2024 to 2025
Welcome and Introduction
The Trustees are pleased present their annual report and accounts for the year to 31[st] March 2025.
Chair
The past year has seen several challenges together with the beginning of new opportunities for the charity. Both served to strengthen the service foundation and provide the platform to move forward for a more diverse and positive future.
Thanks, must be expressed to Elena Round, staff and volunteers for their sterling work and perseverance over the past 12 months. Their commitment and dedication have gone well above and beyond expectations.
As Chair I would also like to pass on my gratitude to the Trustees for their support and sound decision making. Thereby helping to stabilise and underpin the charity’s future viability and development.
For DIAL the future is now looking brighter, with increased financial security and scope to commit to enhancing and broadening service provision.
Elise Masterman
Chair
Charity Chief Executive
I am again delighted to be presenting this annual report to Trustees and Board Members.
Whilst the last year has been yet another rollercoaster journey there have been so many important positive steps in the Charity’s continuing progression and I am so delighted with how far we have come.
We have experienced challenges, frustrations and many highs along the way but what we have achieved has been done to the amazing team both paid and unpaid. Without their absolute commitment and dedication, we would not be in the position we are today.
I’d also like to give thanks to the owners and management team at Friary Walk (previously Crowngate). It is their unwavering support that has helped the charity to be able to take the next steps on our journey and help in it’s growth ambitions.
As I said in my report last year much remains to be done to ensure the charity can survive in difficult times both financially and in service delivery.
We have many exciting things to look forward to in particularly our rebranding.
We have found ourselves at the sharp end in supporting our clients and along the way we have discovered new opportunities as a charity which will only add to a bright and positive future.
Elena Round
Charity Chief Executive
Our purposes and activities
DIAL South Worcestershire is a long-established disability advice charity providing free, impartial advice and information to the disability community.
The charity is able to offer advice and information to its clients age range of 0 to 100.
Originally DIAL South Worcestershire has only supported clients who lived in the south of the county of Worcestershire, namely. However, during the previous financial year this geographical offering was extended to serve clients in the whole of the county.
For several years, the charity has focussed primarily on helping its clients complete a limited number of welfare benefit forms and in certain circumstances supporting clients with their benefit appeals. However during the year the charity has expanded its service offering to support clients with further welfare benefits support ie the completion of Attendance Allowance forms, Household Support Fund vouchers, blue badges etc. More information and advice services have come on board.
Premises
Perhaps our most significant change has been the move to our new offices within the Crown gate Centre (now called Friary Walk) The Lease was signed in November 2024 and the renovation works were undertaken by the Landlord. Without the generosity of the new owners of Friary Walk the move simply would not have happened and our future would have been in jeopardy. Thanks go Mike Lloyd and Anthony Wardell. It is so lovely to be able to have a sink and running water to make drinks.
The move has allowed us to have further interview areas and most importantly a private interview room to give clients the privacy they deserve.
Whilst we were afforded generosity of many (much of the furniture was donated) the move did come at unexpected costs but we now have an office to be proud of.
The move also allowed us to have new space to recruit new volunteers.
Funding
During the year a number of successful funding bids were made.
We received funding from:
Worcestershire County Council
Worcester City Council
The John Martin Charity.
Donations:
During the year total donations received was £3788.50
Service Updates
During the year we were able to extend our outreach location to Evesham following receipt of funding from The John Martin Charity
We also received funding to introduce a new information and adviser post following additional funding received from Worcestershire County Council to develop an information and advice signposting service.
We also received funding to offer Household Support Fund vouchers to clients. This service had been in place since Covid as other WAN partners were already delivering the service but we had not previously participated. This has proved a huge success.
Outreach Locations
During this financial year we were able to offer outreach appointments to our clients at Perdiswell Young Persons leisure centre Worcester and Evesham
Welfare Benefits Analysis
During the year we supported 3198 clients.
We completed 348 welfare benefits forms.

Financial Gain
During the year we successfully secured £2,346,329 in welfare benefits for clients of which £302,869 was in welfare benefit appeals.
WAN Partnership
We continue to have an excellent working relationship with our partners within WAN (Worcestershire Advice Network) and I am grateful for their support and belief in our work. Funding opportunities have arisen during the year and we have happily grasped those opportunities
AQS
As a charity we have strived during the year to continually improve both in terms of compliance, governance and training to ensure our AQS standard are maintained. A significant amount of ongoing work is undertaken to ensure we maintain our quality standards.
During the last year a significant review has been undertaken of the services the charity offers, options for new services and scope for future development of services with a view to funding applications.
