Trustees Annual Report
For the year ended 5 April 2025
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual Trustees’ Report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025
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 employment. 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.
- Objectives Strategies and Activities for the Year
Overview of the main activities carried out during the year in relation to the charity's purposes:
May 2024 marked the second anniversary of our move into our current Gateshead premises. The Centre now attracts a flow of unemployed, sick and disabled people from Gateshead itself and also from Tyne and Wear in general as well as the occasional person from further afield. We continue to develop links with other organisations as we strive to raise our profile and expand our impact.
The main focus of our work is on supporting people claiming Personal Independence Payment, Employment Support Allowance and Universal Credit as well as Pension Credit, Attendance allowance and other benefits. As always, we seek to offer an appropriate level of support tailored to each individual. We encourage people to do as much as they can for themselves while offering consistent and often long-term support where necessary.
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 expanded the focus of our work to also include support with employability, Job search, Career Choice and basic skills. This broader field of work has been supported by an increased number of funders allowing us to expand.
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.

- Report of what the charity has achieved during the year and the difference this has made to its beneficiaries
As a result of broadening the scope of our work, we have been able to attract a significantly higher level of funding. This has allowed us to increase staff hours, develop our volunteer base and offer a wider range of services. This year we received funding from Gateshead Council’s Shared Prosperity Fund, The National Lottery Awards for all programme, The Handley Trust, Roy and Pixie Baker Trust, Garfield Weston, The Yapp Trust, Hadrian Trust, William Leech, Alex Ferry Foundation and Aviva.
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.
With increased staff resources we have been able to develop our ambition of supporting more women and also to expand our work with BAME Communities. Our second staff member who is a teacher and who can deliver Basic Skills courses for adults has led on this aspect of our work.
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. The impact that our work has on individuals cannot be underestimated. A full PIP award over three years can mean that a disabled person will receive more than £27,000 as well as qualifying for additional support.
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.
The growth of our staff and the expansion of our volunteer team means that we are now able to offer translation in several different languages thus increasing our accessibility, particularly to BAME communities.
We believe that the project made a significant difference to people in 2024/25 and that the important changes we made to our work have made us more able to meet the challenges of working with a lot more people and of helping them navigate a changed welfare benefit system. With our specific focus on Gateshead as part of the Shared Prosperity Fund work, we have been able to make significant steps forward in building our presence in the town. This has been supplemented by our having developed a more diverse funding base, which has allowed us to work across the whole of Tyne and Wear. Our success in working with individuals means that we have also become better known through “word of mouth”, which has further increased our impact. Recent additions to our team of volunteers have increased the efficacy of our social media and internet presence also and has made us more accessible.
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 selfesteem 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 the 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 morale 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. With the growth of our team of volunteers we are able to provide translation into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Danish, Hindi, Punjabi, Gujerati and Urdu. We devote a significant amount of time to training new volunteers.
7. Achievements and Performance
Last year we reported that “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.” We are confident that we have now fully overcome these issues and that we are in a very positive situation to be able to expand and develop further over the next twelve months.
This year we have been able to build more capacity than at any time since the charity was founded in 2017. We have seen a big increase in the numbers of people we have been able to support, a growing expertise within the team and an expansion of the scope and nature of our work. This was prepared in advance as we were aware that we needed to extend the range of services we provide as a result of the changes in the Welfare Benefit system. We think that we have been able to adapt successfully despite far greater pressures on us and also working with people with far more complex issues. We are particularly happy with the increase in the proportion of women we have supported and of BAME people. Our expanded funding base has allowed us to work far more effectively across the Tyne and Wear area.
Our Shop Front Office in the middle of Gateshead is now far more welcoming and attractive and has proven to be a big boon for us. Particularly as it is extremely accessible and convenient for major public transport networks.
8. Evaluation and outputs
We have been able to successfully deliver against the objectives that we set for the Gateshead Shared Prosperity Fund Project over this financial year. We were supported in this work through a range of other funders, allowing us to deliver similar work across Tyne and Wear.

9. Fundraising
The Charity was able to secure funding from a variety of sources, Gateshead Council Shared Prosperity Fund and generous grants made by the National Lottery Awards for All Programme and the Alex Ferry Foundation and through the YAPP Charitable Trust, the Handley Trust, Roy and Pixie Baker Trust, William Leech, Garfield Weston, Hadrian Trust and Aviva . As in previous years our aim has been to diversify our funding as much as possible to avoid reliance on any individual funding stream.
10. Investments
In the last year we bought four laptop computers by means of capital investment. In addition, we were gifted a Projector, a Large flat screen TV a Fridge and a Microwave oven
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 £50,070 (2024: £32,163) of which £30,550 (2024: 26,483) was restricted and expenditure of £47,421 (2024: £38,860) of which £24,129 was restricted. There was an operating surplus of £2,649 (2024: deficit of £6,697) of which a surplus of £6,421 was restricted (2024: deficit of £1,162).
At 5 April 2025 the Charity had net assets of £12,502 (2024: £9,853) of which £11,679 was restricted (2024: £5,258).
Reserves policy/Going concern
The Trustees consider the level of reserves, £12,502 (2024: £9,853) 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.
13. Plans for the future
Our aim is expanding and developing 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 the town.
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.

Charity SORP requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the receipts and payments of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

TYNE AND WEAR CENTRE AGAINST UNEMPLOYMENT
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
For the year ended 5 April 2025
I report on the financial statements of Tyne And Wear Centre Against Unemployment for the year ended 5 April 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 16.
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.
