Supporting people with a learning disability to thrive At Reading Mencap, we are a small charity dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with learning disabilities and their families in the Reading area. We are affiliated to the leading learning disability charity, the Royal Mencap Society, but we are a separate charity raising all our own funds to support local people. This year we took the time to step back and reflect on our purpose, mission, values, and what makes Reading Mencap unique. The Board and staff worked together to develop a new vision and mission as follows: Purpose: To empower children and adults with learning disabilities, their families, and carers by providing resources, support, and advocacy that foster independence, confidence, and community. Vision: People with learning disability in the Reading area thrive as valued members of society and live the lives they choose. Mission: A learning disability is life-long and affects a person's ability to learn and manage everyday life. Our mission is to empower individuals with learning disabilities and their families in Reading to be happy and healthy, have aspirations, and choose how they live their lives. We provide tailored support and ser4ices and educate the wider community about learning disabilities to foster understanding, dispel myths and encourage empathy for a brighter, more equitable future. To provide further context, a person with a learning disability is highly likely to have difficulty: understanding information learning skills communicating and socialising looking after themselves or living alone A learning disability is different for everyone. Some people might need support in every area of their lives to reach their potential. We harness lived experience, passion and creativity to shape tailored support, resources, and services that enhance knowledge, skills and confidence. We are dedicated to creating opportunities that promote independence, good health and personal growth. Readlng Mencap. Annual Report & A(xounts year end 31st fvlarch ￿25 Tel.. [phone], Email..

Through workshops, outreach initiatives, and partnerships, we aim to equip the local community with the knowledge and tools to support and value people with learning disabilities, and build a culture of inclusivity and respect, where we can all contribute to a brighter, more equitable future. Delivering impactful services in the local community We are proud to have supported 292 people in our community this year. across our 4 key areas: Family Support- an outreach information, advice and casework service specialising in social care 4ME Activities - our much-loved day service for adults with learning disabilities, running weekdays at our centre Clubs - the ever-popular clubs provide social and leisure connections for adults with learning disabilities, including discos and drama groups Carers Partnership - information and advice, carer's assessments and social events for family carers. Walk a Mile in Our Shoes- raising awareness, getting fit and having fun! We are incredibly proud to have organised and delivered such a successful event during national Learning Disability Week in June-a 1-mile walk around Forbury Gardens in Reading town ￿ntre. Bringing together people with learning disabilities, their carers, and the broader community, our event shone a much-needed spotlight on the needs and aspirations of people wilh learning disabilities. With over 120 enthusiastic participants, including pupils from local special schools and many of our longstanding service users, and the invaluable support of 60 volunteers from Grant Thornton LLP, the event truly embodied community spirit. By holding this walk, we affirmed our commitment to raising awareness, increasing visibility, and championing inclusion-and we are delighted to make this an annual celebration. We make local lives better Over the past year, Reading Mencap has provided support to 292 individuals with learning disabilities and their family carers, promoting well-being, encouraging ambition, and enabling them to pursue independent and fulfilling lives. We are excited to employ our first individual with a learning disability in a new role, looking after our building at weekends, who happens to also be one of our long standing service users. We also started the first year of our third Lottery grant towards the costs of running our Family Support Servi￿, with our Advisers supporting 165 people. We're thrilled to share that the Family Support Service also formed a new year-long partnership with SGN to provide people with learning disabilities and their carers with energy advi￿.

our Advisers have now been specially trained to give advice and information about saving energy, home safety and signing up to the Priority servI￿s Register. Our client survey results gave us some overwhelmingly positive feedback again this year, which we hope demonstrates the value we bring to people with a learning disability and their families. 1000/0 of adults with learning disabilities said their life is better as a result of our support, with 67°/0 saying it is a lot better. 96°/0 of adults with learning disabilities said we help them to stay healthy. 940/0 of adults with a learning disability and 93 % of family carers felt more informed of their options and rights after using our Family Support Service. 1000/0 of adults found the support 'very helpful,. 100°/o of adults said they feel happier as a result of our support, with 75°/0 saying they are a lot happier. 100 % of family carers rated the support from our Carers Partnership service as 'excellent' or 'good'. 880/0 of carers said Reading Mencap had helped them to feel better able to cope with their caring responsibilities. This has been achieved through the amazing efforts of our team and the support provided by funders and donors, including our long-term partnership with Reading Borough Council (RBC). During periods of economic pressure and cost of living increases, RBC has continued collaborating to help deliver services to the local community. We are incredibly proud that all our revenue was spent directly back into our local area; delivering local services, paying local suppliers and paying local staff - 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 strelch their vital funding further. Inspiring green fingers with a new hortlcultural service We understand the importance of continual progress and are always seeking new ways to support people with learning disabilities. This year we have been actively exploring the possibility of opening a horticultural day serrfice in Whitley Wood. This project aims to offer therapeutic benefits, skill-building, social interaction, physical activity, and vocational opportunities for our service users. We have already identified a suitable site and are collaborating closely with the Council and local companies to turn this vision into reality. Our generous supporters 2024-25 marked the first year of new 4-year National Lottery Community Fund grant for our part of our Family Support Service and since year end we are pleased to have secured continued funding through Reading Borough Council for Family Support, our Carers Service and Clubs.

The charity recorded a deficit for the year of £67,175 (2024: deficit £10,126) due to the planned expenditure of numerous restricted grants on their related projects and services.

Our future looks strong We now benefit from having a permanent Chair and are actively expanding our trustee board, bringing in new expertise to address the challenges ahead. Though the current funding environment poses diff iculties for a small charity like Reading Mencap, we remain committed to seeking sustainable income sources such as our proposed horticultural day seniice. Our goal is to build a resilient, transparent organisation led by dedicated individuals, ensuring we continue to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of those we support. Risk Review All risk assessment processes we are using are in line with those recommended by Reading Borough Council and the Social Care Institute for Excellence and Royal Mencap Society. Going Concern Currently we have no concerns about the overall viability of the charity and are confident that we can continue to provide services for the foreseeable future.

Investment Policy We continue to try to gain the most from our bank deposits while ensuring the cash flow needs of the charity are met. Currently there are deposits in interest bearing accounts of financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings. Reserves Policy The trustees believe that it is appropriate to set a target closely approximating 4 months of normal expenditure to safeguard against the significant loss of current SoUr￿S 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 £184,327 compared with total reserves of £207,670. The Reserve Policy is reviewed on a 6 month basis. Structure, Governance and Management Governlng Document The Charity is organised under its Articles of Association approved in October 2006. By Special Resolution (Oct 2024) changes to the Memorandum of Association was approved to update our Objects to ensure we remain relevant and up to date with our local communities needs. Management & the passing of our beloved CEO Mandl A team of trustees appointed at the Charity's Annual General Meeting manages the Charity. All of the trustees provide their time free of charge. The Committee of trustees comprises the Chair, Treasurer, and general trustees, totalling 7. Meetings are held at least every 2 months and the Chief Executive Off icer (CEO) is invited to attend these meetings. None of the trustees had a material interest in any contract of significance to which the Charity was party during the period of these accounts. The CEO is employed by the Charity and manages the day-to-day running of the Charity on behalf of the Irustees. Following the end of the financial year, Mandi Smith, our long- serving CEO, retired in June 2025 due to health reasons and then very sadly passed away in August. Under Mandi's exceptional guidance, Reading Mencap grew significantly, becoming the charity we know and cherish today. During her 15 years as CEO, she was an incredibly kind and caring leader, passionately dedicated to improving the lives of people with learning disabilities and their families. Due to Mandi's illness from February 2025, she was unable to continue her duties, and two valued colleagues, Sally Utting (Family Support Manager) and Amanda Limm (Office Manager), stepped in as joint interim CEOS. Their commitment and performance during this period have been exemplary, and we extend our sincere gratitude for their support. We are currently in the process of recruiting a permanent CEO and actively conducting interviews. Policies The Charity continues to review its policies and procedures and ensure it meets all health and safety requirements.
