accessing the support they need to lead healthy and ￿￿llIng lives.
Followng the year end, we are delighted to share that SAtA has been successful in securing the contract to

Despite continued challenges ranging from increased pressures on health and Care $eNices. the

have remained unwavering in their CA)mmitment to delivering highquality advocacy. Their work ensures that
people's rights are upheld. that their voices are heard. and that they are supported to make inlomied choices
about their lives and maintsin their independence.
Much of our advocacy work is preventaknve in nature. 11 plays a vital role in helping people to stay well, be part
of their eommunilies. and reduce the need for more intensive heath and social care inlervenlions. The
demand for our one-to-one advocacy casework contsnues lo grow, both in lems of volume and complexity.

Achievements and perforniance
1. Advocacy Case Work
Our casework service has conb.nued to be an important source of support for some of the most marginali5ed
peoplé as thè hèatth and so¢ial care se¢tor. along thè wdèr ¢ommunity. ¢tsnb"nued to struggle wth and
be impacied from the COVltk19 pandemic. the cost of living crisis and other challenges. Over the course of
the year we received over 688 new referrals and have provided a one-to￿ne independent advocacy case
work service to 810 people across 1.323 cases {an increase of 13% on last yearl. 281 of those people
135%) are new to SAtA. The nature of cases is also increasingly more complex due to the diverse needs and
¢hallen9es of indiwduals who WU1￿ our support.
Solihull First Adrfocacy This year is the fffth year of delivering our service providing all loca￿aUthority
funded statutory and non-statutory advocacy in Solihull. In total, the service has worked with 662 people
acr055 1,142 ca5e5. 213138%) of those people were new to SAtA.

R¢l*vant P•rson'$ R¢pr¢seftt•tlve (RPR)
We conb.nue lo provide an advocacy service lo
individuals who have been assessed as lacking capaaty and are entiUed to the support of an
Independent Mental Capacity Advocate. This indudes those subject to a Deprivation of Liberty and
those entitled to the support of a Relevant Person's Representative. These are ents'uements that were
created by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 to ensure that individuals who lack capacity in respect of
certain decisions are not deprwed of the ability to input into best interest deosions 8btsul their lives.
Care A¢t - We provide support under the Care Acl 2014 to those who a￿ going through the process of
assessment, support planning or review a$ well a$ safeguarding pr¢xe$$e$. This Service is provided lo
any person who has a substanbal d￿Cuty engaging the process and does not have another
suitable person to support them.
Independent Mental Heafth Ad¥o¢a¢y (IMHA) - We prowde advocacy support lo individuals who
have been detained under a section of the Mentsl Heath Act 1983. The majority of those cases are
supporting people who have been detained in ho$pitsl under sethon 2 or section 3 for 8ssessmenl and
treatment. IMHAS ensu￿ that detsine<l indivi¢Jyals understand what their $iluati¢n is. vh)al thgir rights
are. help to ensure their voice is heard in care and treatment deasions and to plan for their return into
the community.
NHS Complalnts We provide advocacy support to people who wish to make a complaint about
treatrnent they have received from the NHS. This can indude making complaints to the Parliamentary
and Health Service oM￿d3Man rf required.
NoTrStatutory Ad¥ocacy - We work with people whose situations do not meet the criteria lor any of
the statutory advocacy roles above but who have important issues that they need advocacy support
with. Vve assist people issues such as housing. employment, healthcare. finances. Social care,
access to services, bullying and h*e ¢rime. Commonly. people come lo u$ because they have no tsne
else who they can tum to for support. We also see this advocacy provision as an important servic• that
has successfully supported people who may otheTh¥ise present to health and soual care setvices.
Parents A¢fvocacy Our service for parents wth a leaming disability provides advocacy 5UPPOrt during
child protection proceedings or p￿prOceed1ngs. These are ca5e5 that usually revolve around whether a
parent is able lo Ca￿ for the child{￿nI or whether they should be Cared lor by a relab.ve or ￿meOne el$e. In
many cases this resuhs in them being removed from the care of their parents. Support from an advocate
ensures that parents are fully engaged in the deasion-making process and also that all options to support
parents to continue caring for their own childlrenl have been considered and explored. We have worked on
73 parents advocacy cases this year (an inuease of 15% on last year).
Young People
We have continued to provide support to young people learning disabilities and
auts'sm, particularly those who are in transibon into adulthood. Key issues wthin this group include education
such as Education Health and Gare Plans. employmenl. ￿lab"onShIpS and mental health (with the latter
reTnaining an increasing challenge among young people). This work is fundeil by Bsol IC8. We have
worked on 32 cases in the year.

We have continued our Peer Visitor project vthere a peer with disabilities, supported by a volunteer
visiting residents at 9 residential homes for people learning disabilities. They look at the surroundings,
tslk to residents and staff and consider how they V￿uld feel if rt were them living there. They then feedback
back their findings to management al the home.
Followng their observations the peer visitors were impressed..
that some homes had received wme refurbishment and ￿e¢orab.0n. The colovr scheme used was
liked by th8 ￿rS bécausè of the bright colours, and the ease of accessibility around thè homes wère

to people to enable them to access community acbvities. This remains an ongoing challenge.
This year we have pleased lo welcome a four4egged Peer Vi$rtor to our team
a¢¢ompanies our P&&r Visitors on visits to homes where everyone like$ dog$. This helps to relax the people
we are visiting and brings them some enioyment. It makes everyone happy and builds on our positive
relats'onships.
Clrel•s ol Support
This is an important initiative which helps to meet a gap in our community. It enables vulnerable people to
establish new friendships vthich builds on their support Defv￿rk to meet their own parb'cular needs and goals
through Ccrproduction. Thi5 work is funded by the NHS.
We have worked on a one•tO&one basis wih 36 individuals this year. The length of that support has varied
depending on a variety of factors. For example..
• The length of lime needed lo build trusting relationship
The level of social anxiety felt by the person
• The length ol lime the Ferson has been isdaled from Mmmunrty integration
. The com￿eX nature ol the person's need$
What suitable acbvities are available in their local area
Poor mèntal he3￿h has unfortunatély been a common thèm8 during this yèar. This has b&&n dèmonstratèd
by people not wanting to leave their homes and even feeling suiadal. We have managed to keep these
relationships ongoing due to the trust we have developed, by providing regular activf(ies and community
engagement. 11 is important that the people set their own agenda and go forwaid at their own pace. We co-
work with other extemal professionals vthere appropriate.
We have been making good use of our Coffee arHI Catch Up 3e5sions particularfy at The Core venue where
attendance has been up lo 20 people. Thi5 enable5 people lo make connections in a relaxed environment,
practicing their so¢ial skills and heanng about otheT $ooal opportuntb"e$.
HS2 has further developed this work by providing funding that enabled SAtA to deliver 82 workshops to 69
people. It enables vulnerable people to establish new friendships vthich builds on their support ne￿￿ork to
meet their ovm parts'cular needs and goals through co-prcxYucts"cm.
We continue to see the benefits of all this work as people feel posiiive about lrfe, a sense of belonging,
having friends, and increased well-being but also notabty feeling safe. The aim is also focussed on
prevention by reducing dependency on fornial healih and social care service5. These forms of advocacy
help to promote individual 5elf-advocacy and improve their confidence.

il to supported living homes. day centres and ¢olleges. The presentabon was also delivered l() health
professionals, and our team of women led a discussion with professionals about how they could help to
make some improvements. They explained the need for reasonable adjustments, clear details about
screening and breast cancer treatment. and offered advice on how to communicate well with patients who
have learning disabilities. A5 part of thi5 work. we also set up a women'5 wellbeing group which tskes place

Financial review {continuedl
The principal finanual risks faced by the Charity are regularfy monitored by the Board of Trustees and by its
Finance Committee, as well as on a continual basis by the CEO and Management Team. The main risks to
vthich the Trustees feel attention should be drawn are..
Dependency on a small number of large funding streams." Approximately 65% of income for 2024-25
was derived from contracts wth Solihull Metropolitan Borough Counal (although this is split across
multiple contracts) and this presents some risk in tems of sustainability in the long temi. Our main
contract will be extended al least for a ftjrther five years from October 2025. The Tru51ees have sel
income generation tsrgets and fijndraising plans to encourage diversifi¢ab"on of income streams to help
mitigate this risk.
Failure lo achieve inc4)me generation targets.. As with most similar charities. there is a recU￿ent risk that
the Charity will fail lo meet its lundraising l income generabon targets In any given year. The Trustee8
have sel Challenging but achievable tsrgets and progrès$ towards them is monrtored regulady by the
Board's Finance Committee. In addth'on, unrestricied lunds held in rese￿eS can be deployed to make
up for under-performance in fundraising rf the Trustees consider that to be prudent and appropriate.
Reserves

risks on the risk register.
The largel reserves figure is fomally reviewed annualty arKI ordinarily as part of the budget Setting process.
A comparison of the actual and larget reserves figure 1$ monitored throughout Ihe year.
In summary, the reasons for whi¢h lund8 are retsined as re$erve8 indvde".
To ensure the continuity of an acb'vity in the event of a signrfKant variation or total loss of funding for
that activty. This is a high priority for SAtA.
To fund unforeseen and unavoidabl8 nJnnin9 Costs or caprtal expenditures that may arise.

reserves at 31 March 2025 were £96.222 12024.. £96,5001 which is less than this target. The Trustees wll
