AchieverneTrt and PerfomTran
This year the Charity. like rnany other5. has Corfinued to see unprecedenied demand on seryice5. With finite resource5, and needing to
protect the wellbeing of siaff, the resuk of the hi8h demand is ars ¢rKrease in waiting times for appointments. These have often been in
excess of 4 weeks, and peaking at 7 weeks periodically particuLirly for benefit and debt advice, as the cost-of-living crisis continues. Due
to inC￿a$lnÉ lovels of non-attendance for appointments. changes We￿ made to ix)ok appointments only 2 weets ahead. This results i

the Charity's Immigration Team which directly helps tt> develop much needed tapacrty. The aim is for this to be a training ground to build
capacity and forthe p05t holder to become an accredited a<knser wrthin the 2 year lifespan of thE grant
The Charity's long standing reLitionship wtth tl* Brr(ish Gas Energy Tn&st continued into it's tenth year this year. starting delivery on a new

The start of the year also saw the Charity secure strategic advice grants frorn both North and West Northamptonshire. in collaboration with
k)tal Citizens AdvKe groups. Athough a ￿LatIVelY small portion of overall irKorT*. it provides an e55ential financial grounding on which

The East Midlanés Immigration Network has continued in earnest and has seen Community Law SeNice advise 99 people. Indications are
that this project funding will continue for severèl years to corne. which would be excellent. The lrntni8ration not-for-prolit fee-payin8
service continues and has provided irnmigration a(fvice and casework to 32 people who had suffKient funds to pay. Fees generated this
vear have enabled the continued employrnent of valuable authorised immigration atfvisers. There s a natiopal shortage of iMM￿ration
advice. and such irnmigrat￿￿ advisers are a valuable asset to our county.
The Charw's debt advice teaTn ha5 continved their excellent work delNering speckalist debt advice on the Government's Money and
Pensions Se￿Ice contract, as part of East Midlands Money A(fvice Group. The team have a8ain consistently reached the 85%
threshold score on their files for quality. the a55e5sment for which is very rigorous. The debt tearn has advised 972 clients this year with

5iÈnifitant, improving acce55 and quickty building rapwrt with Cl￿nts. Something which we have continued to See evidence of at our

individual residents through this work.
The corDplexity of work, often relatin8 to mulriple issues needing to be resofved. has unfortunatety continued. In 2023124, we saw an
average of 3.2 enquir￿5 per personlca5e lup from 2.2 in 20221. sad￿ thi5 year tt has been an average of 3.6. This is compounded bv
lon8 dèlays within DWP, k)cal authorr(ies and the Home Office in prL*essing claims and ap￿als. This leads to Casework taking a long time
to re501ve. causing stres5 and worry to clients and the numbers of cases open to ad¥i5ers remaining high. We have implemented
additional administrative support its provide some further support to manaK7ng the casework. It is also hoped that an irKrea5e in
community based work wtll catch peopbe earli￿ and prevent problems escalating and becoming rn0￿ complex to resolve.
The achievements by the staff team are remaTkable once again. New income totalling £8,806,053 has been secured for clients, an
increase of 3.4% from 2023124. The Debt team rnanaged a total of £29.087.299. up from Q8,535.388 in 2023124.. with 18% rnore debr

Immigration team have dealt with 357 imrnigratM)n advice cases and thanks to the grants secured, have been able to reduce the proportitsn
of peop* paying for immigration advice from IS% in 2023124 to onty 9% in 2024125. Oients who rece￿ed immigration advice spanned
70 diffe￿nt natlonalities
The Charity is grateful lor the strong partnerships and nety40rks that sllpwjrt effertNe referral pathways into Community Law Service,
many of those partners are rnentioned in this rew)rt_ This year. 94 separate organisattons made direct referrals to Community Law
