## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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 main object is to promote the relief of people in need, including the elderly, within the South East Essex area by  the provision of an advocacy service, goods or services. 

## **Significant activities** 

Formal Advocacy Service 

The formal advocacy service offers a wide range of advocacy in relation to a range of issues such as finance, benefit advice, debt, debt management, financial abuse, housing, dementia and mental health.. 

The advocacy service receives funds for separable parts of the service from providers such as Southend Borough Council, National Lottery Fund, People's Postcode Lottery, Rosca Trust & Independent Age. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives, and in planning the charities' future activities. 

In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set, and to meeting the core charitable object enshrined in the organisation's governing documents. 

As a result of their review, the trustees are confident that the activities carried out by the charity in the year under review have been undertaken for the public benefit of all persons served by the charity, in delivering a wide range of services to those in need. 

## **Social investments** 

The charity takes great pride in the social investment made by our team of volunteers. Each year volunteers provide hundreds of hours of work to older people in our community. 

We are especially proud that our work ensures that over £2m of entitled benefits are claimed by people who previously were unaware they were eligible for this support to assist them to remain independent in their homes for as long as possible. 

## **Grantmaking** 

The charity does not make grants of any kind to any person or organisation either connected or otherwise. 

## **Volunteers** 

The charity is heavily reliant upon the contribution of volunteers to perform advocacy visits for beneficiaries. The volunteers provide support of between 3 to 4 hours for each person helping to complete benefit claim forms and other assistance. In addition, our volunteers provide befriending and other welfare support for vulnerable people, particularly during the pandemic 

Review of statistics held by the charity show that should the charity need to employ persons to cover this role it would cost in excess of 2021: £43,000 (2020: £43,000) in wages and associated employment costs. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

During the year the principle funding sources of the charity were restricted grant project funding from private trusts. The charity also developed it's income stream from payment by other local organisations for its advocacy services. 

The provision of these services increased the charities resilience to develop income streams to continue future continuation.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity has an adopted reserves policy stating that the charity aims to hold cash reserves equivalent to 6 months unrestricted expenditure. 

At the year end the charity is working towards this policy. 

## **Funds in deficit** 

The charity generated a deficit in the year. The deficit arose due to continued investment by the charity in new computer software and management systems as well as a management review and increased staffing ready for capacity building in the future. 

The deficit in the year has also arose due to Covid-19 and the additional costs brought on by staff working from home i.e. mobile phones, laptops etc. 

The trustees are aware of the deficit and are working to ensure that the charity returns to a surplus position for the next accounting year. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

During the year and post balance sheet the charity has performed work to ensure that systems are controlled to monitor the reserves level of the charity to ensure continuation. 

The charity has many funding bids currently out for consideration as well as currently being in contract negotiations with a view to signing a service level agreement to increase services. 

The charity will continue to establish new income streams over the next 12 months and careful management will ensure continuation for the future. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by it's governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an Charitable Incorporated Organisation under a foundation structure. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The charity undertakes continuous efforts into the development of the trustee board, sourcing new trustees from the  local community, either by recommendation from existing trustees, or by direct approaches by interested members of the public. 

Such interested persons are interviewed to ensure suitability before progressing with appointment to the board. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The trustees form a management committee, and are elected at the charity's annual general 

meeting. The management committee meet as and when business demands but not less frequently than one in three months. 

Day to day operational decisions of the charity are made by the Chief Executive Paula Blundell upon the direction and delegation of the trustees. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

New trustees undergo an induction day to brief them on their legal obligations under charity law, the content of the Constitution, the committee and decision making process, the business plan and the recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction day, they meet other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. 

## **Related parties** 

The charity maintains a register of business interests for trustees. The register is maintained regularly and any interactions of the charity with related parties are disclosed within the financial statements.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of South Essex Advocacy Services** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of South Essex Advocacy Services** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of South Essex Advocacy Services (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW 9130081 which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.
