**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2025**
The trustees, who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The primary objects of the Charity are:
a) To promote the wellbeing of the inhabitants of Woking and surrounding areas by, in particular, but not to limited to, the formation of a Street Angels Programme without distinction of race, sex, religious or other opinion of such community.
b) To support, care and treat persons in need who are homeless and suffering from effects of poverty, sickness, disability, old age, alcoholism, drug addiction, offending behaviour, or any other mental or physical infirmity, as an expression of Christian faith.
Street Angels are adult volunteers, usually (but not exclusively) from local churches, who care and provide practical support for the people, usually on Friday and Saturday nights, who use the night clubs and other leisure and entertainment venues in Woking town centre, including helping them to access any further help they need.
## **Volunteers**
The Charity trains unpaid volunteer Street Angels to carry out its work on the streets of Woking. The Charity is constantly seeking new recruits. Despite five retiring and three out-of-action, with some new recruits and six completing training, the number of volunteer Street Angels – 36 - remained the same at year end as in 2023/24.
Arrangements for the training of new volunteers have continued to be shared with Guildford Street Angels, thereby maximising the numbers on each training session and also enabling the sharing of any costs.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The Charity has maintained its operations working two nights a weekend in Woking town centre throughout the year and also being on duty on special occasions. This included attendance at the Woking Fireworks event organised by a local Rotary Club, as in 2023. Talks have, as in previous years, also been given to various local groups and organisations to help raise the Charity’s profile. Small donations have usually been received from these talks.
Stalls at local charitable events have also contributed to raising the profile of Woking Street Angels, offering a recruitment opportunity and raising some funds.
The work undertaken by the Woking Street Angels continues to be recognised by members of the public and appreciated by Woking Borough Council and the Police.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Principal funding sources**
Donations from churches and corporate businesses towards operating costs accounted for one third of income in the year. The majority of income was from a National Lottery grant in July 2024 of £18,500 to be spent over two years, also only on core costs.
Other initiatives were taken to raise funding; e.g. participation in the Rotary Club’s Swimathon, where sponsorship was shared between other charities and our own. Planning was also started for a dinner/dance to be held in the autumn of 2025.
Trustees continue to consider ways of developing schemes to enable supporters to be involved more closely with the Charity and gain their ongoing commitment.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2025**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees' general policy regarding reserves is to hold a fund equivalent to 12 months' running costs for the Charity. Based on current expenditure, this would require reserves of approximately £19,000.
The Charity is pleased to have maintained its financial reserves in the past year. Total unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2025 were £34,343 (2024: £29,676), however, adding in the National Lottery Award raised the cash at bank to £45,589, though this is subject to the conditions mentioned above.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
We plan to maintain our two nightly service (Fridays and Saturdays) and on special occasions when required.
With reduced predicted income, rising/constant costs in the 2025-26 financial year and competition with other charities for funding from various limited sources, the Charity has both given attention to achieving cost reductions in 2024-25 (e.g. in insurance) and must continue to do so in 2025-26.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The Charity is controlled by its governing document, a Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is constituted as a company, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, limited by guarantee.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The first trustees came from interested churches in the Woking area. Recent and future Trustees may come from a broader base to include volunteers, other local churches and local organisations.
The current trustees remain unchanged from 2023-24. The Charity aims to maintain its current trustees in 2025-26 and also seeks one or two new members.
The current Treasurer is not a trustee but attends all trustees meetings where the accounts are reviewed. An external examiner also reviews these at year end.
## **Organisational structure**
The Trustees meet four times a year to review and plan the Charity's activities. The day to day operations are delegated to a parttime, paid Co-ordinator who arranges for the logistics of the patrols and other tasks as required.
There is an Operations Committee made up of some of the Trustees and volunteers who meet periodically, as needed, to consider operational issues and make recommendations, if required, to the Trustees.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WOKING STREET ANGELS**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Woking Street Angels ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
