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.

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￿. Through this,

Page 5 ot 20

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.

Flnancial Review
The financial results for the year showed total income of £485,807 (2024: £565,376). At the
Balance Sheet date total net assets amounted to £207,670 {2024: £274,846). 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. The
trustees are optimistic that a small surplus will be generated in the next financial year. It
should be noted that 920/0 of expenditure relates to the delivery of charitable 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.
Principal Funding Sources
Income from the 4ME Day Service totalled £217,446 for the year compared with £204,994
for the previous year. The National Lottery grant, to run our Family Support Service, was
£52,566. Reading Borough Council provided £95,805 for the Family Support Service,
Carers, Services, Health Family Adviser and clubs for adults. Rental income from the self-
contained flats at 21a Alexandra Road was £43,758. This is supported living
accommodation for four adults with learning disabilities.

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.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year,
which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity as at the balance sheet
date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and
expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees
should follow best practice and:
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently:
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charitable company will continue on that basis.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, which disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities. This report has been prepared in accordance wilh the special provisions of
Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. The Trustees

Basls of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the

the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations
from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, no opinion is
given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fail view" and the report is limited to
those matters set out in the statement below.
