We would like to thank our trustees, staff, volunteers, and
members for their ongoing commitment and dedication.
Structure, Governance, and Management
Safety Net People First (SNPF) is a
registered charity governed by its charity
on 30th January 2002.
We were officially registered with the Charity Commission on
17th June 2005.

difficulties, elect trustees at the AGM.

SAFEfY NEf-PEOPLE FIRST (SNPF)
Registered charity number:1110074
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH 2024
Trustees serve voluntarily and do
not re￿1ve payment or benefits for
their work in this role.
Decision-making:
The Board of Trustees meets every two
months, ensuring inclusive
decision-making with input
from the CEO.
At least two trustees must agree for a decision to be made.
Trustees are responsible for updating policies, pr0￿dUreS,
and job roles.
Challenges and Risk Assessment
sin￿ the COVID-19 pandemic, our members continue to
experience significant barriers. Many remain reluctant to
engage in person due to anxiety, social isolation, and digital
exclusion. Key challenges we have identified include:
Worries around money is causing mental health issues
among our members.

SAFEfY NEf-PEOPLE FIRST (SNPF)
Registered charity number:1110074
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH 2024
Digital exclusion due to limited aC￿sS to IT and lack of
support to develop digital skills.
RedU￿d Confiden￿ in social engagement, leading to
loneliness and isolation.
Ongoing dependency on a local council grant,
highlighting the need for diversified funding.
Difficulties in recruiting a new Personal Assistant for our
CEO and Trustees, a challenge faced by many
Disabled-led organisations.
Limited recruitment of new members and trustees,
affecting our capacity and sustainability.
The need for accessible training opportunities for our
Trustees and CEO.
We also recognise that the cost of living crisis, cuts to
disability benefits and disability SeNi￿S (such as social
activities, advocacy support and lack of independent living
housing), lack of ac￿Ssible information, and redU￿d
availability of accessible transport caused more issues for
people with learning difficulties in Hammersmith and Fulham.
