OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards aim to protect people who might be restrained or restricted in a way that amounts to depriving them of their liberty. This law says the affected person must have a 'representative' - someone to help make sure their views, wishes and rights are respected.
Rule 1.2 Representative
A Rule 1.2 representative speaks up for a person who lacks capacity to consent to restrictions on their freedom, when they are or may be deprived of their liberty in a community or domestic setting
Hello Life
Support for lonely/isolated persons aged 60 and over with the aim to reduce social isolation
Hospital to Home
Support for vulnerable isolated individuals to enable safe discharge from hospital and to reduce risk of re-admission
Public benefit
In adherence to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, the trustees confirm that the activities undertaken in the reviewed year have been for the public benefit, delivering a diverse range of services to those in need. The Charity accepted 1711 referrals during the year 2022/23

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Volunteers
Volunteers play a crucial role in providing advocacy assistance, contributing 3 to 4 hours per person in completing benefit claim forms and offering other essential assistance.
The charity's reliance on volunteers is cost-effective, as evidenced by the potential annual cost of £45,000 if the charity were to employ individuals for the hours gifted by volunteers.

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 2023.
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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
