This has been possible through the passion and dedication of our team as well as the vital
support we've been given by our generous funders and donors, including our long term
partnership with Reading Borough Council (RBC) which has gone from strength to
strength. In these uncertain times, with economic pressures and cost of living squeezes,
we're incredibly grateful that RBC have continued to work with us to deliver our vital
service to our local community.
Social value is at the heart of our service
Our local impact on the Reading economy continues to grow, with 20 local people now
employed by Reading Mencap. We are incredibly proud that all our revenue, almost £600k
in total last year, was spent directly back into our local area, delivering local services.
paying locd suppliers and paying local *aff - all of which contributes to a thriving Reading
economy. We continue to strive to create the most value for money from our services,
supporting the local authority to *retch their vital funding further. We do this but doubling
every £1 of local authority funding through lundraising, grants and donations.
Exploring new opportunities
We recognise the necessity to never stand still in today's world, and we continue seeking
new opportunities to find inventive and exciting ways to support people with learning
disabilities. In this pursuit, we have been working closely with Reading Borough Council on
a Horticultural Project at an RBC-owned allotment site, with the intent to provide a
horticultural day service for our service users, which would provide a wealth of benefits
including therapeutic benefits, skills development. social interaction, physical activity and
vocational opportunities. However, unfortunately we have had to make a difficult decision
to step away from this specific project due to insurmountable diff iculties at the site. We still
strongly believe this would be a fantastic day services to add to our offering and so are
actively exploring new opportunities along these lines.
Our generous supporters
2023-24 marked the final year of our 4-year National Lottery Community Fund grant for our
Family Support Service, in partnership with Acre and as we close out the year we heard
the very welcome news that our application to the Lottery for a further 4-year grant towards
our Family Support Service was successful. This new grant will amount to around half of
the funding required to run the service. Nationwide Community Grants, the Garfield
Weston Foundation, Berkshire Community Foundation, Gerald Palmer Eling Trust and
Reading Borough Council's Integration Board also provided funding for the Family Support
Seniice during the year.
This was dso the ￿0nd year of our Lloyds Bank Foundation grant which has provided us
with valued consultancy and funding support to help grow and develop our strategic
approach. We'd also like to thank the following organisations for providing us with much
needed support in the year: St Laurence Church, M&G, Forbes Charitable Foundation,
Tom Purser, Berkshire Masonic Charity, Nick Hawkins, Procter & Gamble, Reading Rotary
Awards, Heavy Pop, the Duff Family, Englefield Charitable Trust, Syder Foundation, Grant
Thornton LLP, Mobbs Memorial Trust, Reading Christadelphians, Theodore Roussel
Memorial Trust, Screwfix Foundation, Sport England, and SNG.
Thank you to all our supporters, funders and advocates, we could not do it without you!

The trustees believe that it is appropriate to set a target closely approximating 6 months of
normal expenditure to safeguard against the significant loss of current sources of income
and to be able to retain key staff and develop new business opportunities.
Applying this policy, the required level of reserves at the Balance Sheet date is computed
to be £278,000 compared with total reserves of £274,846. The trustees consider this
sufficiently close to the policy and continue to monitor it regularly.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The Charity is organised under its Articles of Association approved in October 2006. By
Special Resolution (July 2018) changes to the Articles have been approved and objects (b)

All of the trustees provide their time free of charge. The Committee of trustees comprises

which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity as at the balance sheet
date and ol its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and
expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial *atements, the trustees
should follow best practice and: _
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently:

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charitable company will continue on that basis.

reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to
enable them to ensure that the financial *atements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
