## **Trustees Annual Report** 

For the year ended 5 April 2024 

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual Trustees’ Report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2024 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2022, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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. 

We were established as a charity in January 2017, our aim is to assist unemployed people to live a life of dignity and at the same time assist them to secure the welfare benefits to which they are entitled in order that they can live a decent life. 

Some of our clients are unemployed as a consequence of economic conditions and the jobs market, through no fault of their own, and we support them in seeking to explore alternative types of work so they can find sustainable well paid work. Other clients are either ill or disabled and face barriers over and above those faced by the fit and able bodied, we assist them to get welfare benefit payments and support them in seeking a better life. 

## **1. Objectives Strategies and Activities for the Year** 

## **Overview of the main activities carried out during the year in relation to the charity's purposes:** 

After moving to new premises in Central Gateshead in May 2022 the Centre has become established and has started to raise its profile in Gateshead and around Tyne and Wear.  We have continued to make links with other organisations and to work with unemployed sick and disabled people across Tyne and Wear. 

We have continued to develop our work with people claiming Personal Independence Payments and Employment Support Allowance with an emphasis on supporting people to make their own claims – with support. Our Client Representation project has continued to promote this. In addition, we are dealing with a lot of issues around Universal Credit, Pension Credit and Attendance Allowance. 

During 2023 we became aware of planned changes to the assessment process for ESA. Also, the impact of the Migration of Claimants onto Universal Credit from “Legacy Benefits”. Consequently, we have have altered the focus of our work to also include support with employability, Job search, Career Choice and basic skills. 

We continue to represent people requiring support with Mandatory Reconsiderations and also with Appeals to the Benefits Tribunal. Our success rate remains very high. 

We have continued to develop our volunteer base and to make contact with new supporters and partner organisations. 

We continue to publish our own website, which has generated a number of referrals, and we have continued to develop our presence on social media, while also distributing a range of leaflets and materials to potential clients, informing them about the type of support and assistance that they can access through our Charity. 

## **2. Report of what the charity has achieved during the year and the difference this has made to its beneficiaries** 

Our Claimant Representation project has continued to develop with the support of the Alex Ferry Foundation and with support from the National Lottery Awards for All fund. This funding has allowed us to develop the project across Tyne and Wear, whereas initially it was focused on Newcastle, because of funding via the City Council. 

We have continued to offer training to other organisations and to Volunteers to build capacity in the area to support clients with PIP and ESA Appeals. Our group of volunteers who are able to offer support with Benefit Claims has increased over the year. 

In addition, we have taken on an additional part time worker specifically to focus on supporting women and also to expand our work with BAME Communities. She is a qualified Teacher and can deliver Basic Skills courses for adults. 

We have had some significant successes in supporting individuals with a high success rate at tribunal level and in supporting people to make successful claims.

Our work around Careers Guidance and Employability has increased as well as our advocacy work with local and central government, the NHS and other organisations. The skill set of our volunteers has expanded and we are now also able to offer some employment rights advice. We continue also to signpost people to specialist and other organisations where necessary and appropriate. 

Shortly before the end of the financial year we were able to secure an additional £10,000 in funding via Gateshead Council Shared Prosperity Fund. This does not appear on our balance sheet for this year as it was paid a few days afterwards. 

We are confident that the project made a difference to people in 2023/24 and that we will continue to do so in the future. We have now largely recovered from the impact of our forced move and the legacy of Covid, which did mean a significant dislocation of services, as well as making it far harder for people to contact us for help. We have emphasised the importance of connecting with people through publicity and building links with other organisations. We believe we have made some significant strides with this and most importantly people are referring their friends to us. We are making some steps in improving our online presence and we are slowly getting to grips with the Internet. Given the changes in the way that people access information and services particularly after the pandemic we believe this is an important aspect of our work which we are keen to develop. To further facilitate access, we are continuing where necessary to use Zoom and hybrid approaches to meetings. This has proven very valuable in connecting with those clients and partners who remain concerned about the ongoing threat of Covid. 

## **3. Public Benefit Statement** 

It would be impossible for us to recruit and fund enough paid or voluntary staff to deliver the level of service to meet the needs of all of the unemployed, sick and disabled people in Tyne and Wear. Therefore, we focus of our work on passing on our knowledge to claimants, their family’s friends and to the people in their communities with whom we are able to connect. Our aim is to empower them to sustain and protect their own welfare benefits. We believe that this work also helps to promote self esteem and to empower the Community. 

## **4. Policy on Social Investment** 

Our policy is to apply for grants on a regular basis, based on what we can realistically deliver, and what will be of benefit to our clients and to the development of our organisation and those who are active within it. We seek always to diversify the sources of funding we access to ensure that we do not become reliant on a single large grant. We link our aims of our organisation, to the needs of our clients, and onto a better society, because we know at present too many welfare benefit claimants are not living a fulfilled life, that is bad for them, their family and local community, and that effects the wider moral of society. 

## **5. Policy on Grant Making** 

We do not make grants to individuals or to other charities. Our policy is to apply for grants on a regular basis, based on what we can realistically deliver, and what will be of benefit to our clients and to the development of our organisation and those who are active within it. 

## **6. Contribution by Volunteers** 

Our volunteers are essential to the successful work of the Charity. They are central to our delivery plan at every stage, from attending medical assessments with claimants, to helping clients with form filling to apply for benefits, to making Mandatory Reconsideration Applications, up to and including preparing and attending Social Security Tribunals. We devote a significant amount of time to training new volunteers. 

## **7. Achievements and Performance** 

The impact of Covid and our forced move to Gateshead meant that we did suffer some dislocation of service and had to relaunch our work in a different area. We are confident that we have overcome the majority of these issues over the last year and that we have begun to develop a significant profile in the area we serve. 

2 



We now have more capacity to deliver than previously and the Centre is in the best shape that it has been since we established the Charity in 2017. We saw a steady growth in business over the year. The support we have received from the National Lottery and the Alex Ferry Foundation has allowed us to operate the Client Representation Project across the whole of Tyne and Wear rather than just in Newcastle. Support from the Community Foundation has enabled us to deliver targeted work to women and to BAME Communities. 

We have been able to continue training volunteers and supporting people to help themselves through the Client Representation Project. 

Our new premises are larger and more accessible than our previous office and are Shop Front Premises on a main road, which means they are very visible. We are also situated very near to the Bus and Metro stations. 

## **8. Evaluation and outputs** 

We have been able to successfully deliver against the objectives that we set for the Claimant Representation Project over this financial year. We were supported in this work through grants made by the National Lottery Awards for All Programme and the Alex Ferry Foundation and through the Community Foundation. 

## **9. Fundraising** 

The Charity was able to secure funding from a variety of sources, The National Lottery Awards for All programme, The Alex Ferry Foundation, The Community Foundation and the Handley Trust as well as other smaller donations from individuals and organisations. Our aim is to diversify our funding as much as possible to avoid reliance on any individual funding stream. 

## **10. Investments** 

We have not bought any new capital equipment in the last year but have fundraised specifically to buy a number of laptops that we will use to support Basic Skills provision. We will purchase these in the New Year. 

## **11. Financial Review** 

Review of the year 

The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. 

During the year the Charity had income of £32,163 (2023: £24,349) of which £26,483 was restricted (2023: £21,350) and expenditure of £38,860 (2023: £29,653) of which £27,645 was restricted (2023: £20,595). There was an operating deficit of £6,697 (2023: deficit of of £5,304) of which a deficit of £1,162 was restricted (2023: deficit of £1,745). 

At 31 March 2024 the Charity had net assets of £9,853 (2023: £16,550) of which £5,258 was restricted (2023: £6,420). 

## **Reserves policy/Going concern** 

The Trustees consider the level of reserves, £9,853 (2023: £16,550), prudent for the Charity at this time taking into account potential liabilities in the event that the charity ceased. Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually. 

## **12. Risk Management** 

We place the highest priority on safety and wellbeing of our clients and staff and volunteers, we have a management team on hand to respond to all possible and real conflicts that may arise in the day to day running of our organisation and also to guarantee our policy and financial security as an organisation. Plans for future periods to expand our training program across Tyne and Wear. 

3 



## **13. Plans for the future** 

Our aim is expanding and develop our work with clients, drawing in new volunteers, developing new services and also to further develop our presence in Gateshead, now that we are firmly established in our new premises. 

We are always keen to balance our growth and development against the development of our volunteer network. As such, we always seek to emphasise training and consolidation of new volunteers to ensure that we are able to keep pace with the demand from clients. 

We are keen to develop our staffing levels and have expanded our work with women and minority ethnic communities. 

We are also hoping to develop our Basic Skills Programmes in Maths and English and also our Professional Careers Advice and Guidance and Employability work. This reflects the skills within our staff and volunteer team.

## **TYNE AND WEAR CENTRE AGAINST UNEMPLOYMENT** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

For the year ended 05 April 2024 

I report on the financial statements of Tyne And Wear Centre Against Unemployment for the year ended 05 April 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 15. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- h the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- h the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- h the accounts did 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 if the requirements that the accounts give a "true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I 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.
