GATEWAY M40 Report of the trustees for the year ended 31st December 2024 The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 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 published (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). Objectives and actlvltles History Gateway Debt Advice began in May 2016 as a small project based at the Church of the Saviour, CoLLyhurst, North Manchester. It was to provide a locally known and safe place where people could receive debt advice to help them make a fresh start free of debt. In July 2017, Gateway Debt Advice was constituted as a CIO, Charitable Incorporated Organisation, under the name Gateway M40-the local postcode designat5on. In June 2020, Gateway M40 moved its base of operations from Church of the Saviour, which couLd no longer accommodate the growing needs of the charity, to offices in Wilsons Park, Monsall, still within the postcode area. Objects The purposes of Gateway M40 as set out in its constitution are: The prevention or relief of poverty in the Archdeaconry of Manchester by providing grants, items and services to individuals in need and other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. To advance the education of the public in the Archdeaconry of Manchester in money management, budgeting, growing and cooking food and computer skills to enable them to develop their capacity and skills in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society. Activities The core activity of Gateway M40 is to offer free client debt advice to help individuals to become free of debt. The advice offered considers all options for debt resolution and how they might best serve each individual client. It is always the client's choice as to which option is taken. It is part of our service to help clients maximise their income and minimise their expenditure. This involves help with budget creation, benefit checks and

GATEWAY M40 signposting to other services that might help. We work with partners to deliver a food pantry service serving thousands of clients each year, The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies for the year. A review of our achlevements and performance: How our activitles dellvered public benefit North Manchester remains an area of significant deprivation, with high unemployment and health inequalities. Gateway M40's client base reflects this recording that over half are either unemployed or unable to work due to disability: More than two-thirds of clients are women, indicating a gendered economic hardship trend; and almost a quarter of clients are aged 60+, many of whom are on fixed incomes. The data demonstrates strong alignment between Gateway M40's services and local needs, particularly among those most at risk of financial exclusion. Against this background Gateway M40 helped more than fourthousand clients delivering comprehensive debt advice and welfare rights advocacy services, food pantry services and as a partner organisation of both The Flexible Frontline Fund and Acts 435 delivering personal grants and goods directly to clients. Throughout 2024 Gateway has managed almost £1.8 million of debt of which 22Vo was priority debt. Over the year Gateway processed 47 Debt relief Orders and 2 Bankruptcy's; significant use was made of informal arrangements (e.g, write off's) and budgeting support to help with debt management. In the same year Gateway has also delivered over £1.4 millions of increased income to clients. Grant support from Acts 435 and the Frontline fund totalled just under £67,000 and the remainder (over £1.3 million) was delivered through benefit applications, adjustments and appeals. Also significant to our work are the team of volunteers that run ourfood pantry service. This is a partnership service we offerwith"The Bread and Butter Thing" serving on average 65 clients each week. The vast majority of these receive the "family grocery" pack (feeding families of three or more) and the remainder receive the 'individual grocery" pack. This means that each year we give over 3,000 grocery packs perhaps feeding as many as nine thousand or more hungry stomachs! Our work to help deliver Christmas sacks that provide toys for children remains steady at just over 200 families. Again the data shows that Gateway M40 plays a pivotal role in supporting vulnerable individuals, particularly the unempLoyed, those with disabilities, and families facing financial distress. Accessibility of our services remains high as we maintain and develop Gateway's presence across North Manchester. This is done through offering triage services in several different centres including churches, GP surgeries, and other service providers. This means clients who need our services can make first contact in places they know and

GATEWAY M40 where we can show them how we can help and what that help entails. That we are proficient at engaging with clients and building trust is evidenced in that 400/0 of new clients come to us because they have heard good things about us from people they know. Clients referred from other agencies account for about 22% and those who have used one or more of our services previously account for another 24%. This reflects strong grassroots trust and inter-agency collaboration but does highlight our as yet limited digital reach. Gateway continued to increase its digital presence in 2024 aiming to address this issue and we anticipate that 2025 statistics will show positive results from this. Other issues that will need to be given attention in 2025 will be to capture and analyse ethnicity and language data to assess cultural inclusivity. We also note that we mlght to ensure we are connecting with younger adults as they are minimally represented in our statistics. The level of clients presenting with increasingly complex cases has in no way diminished. Such case take much longer to resolve and mostly require multiple referrals to other service providers high lighting our need to both maintain and deveLop partnership working and staff training around issues, around gambling, illegal money lending, mental health issues and even suicide and prevention. We are also aware that we might need to consider larger premises moving into the future. The challenges are many and the amazing work of our staff and volunteers is constantly demanding. Nine the less through their faithful endeavour Gateway M40 continues to Serve as a lifeline for individuals and families in financial crisis in North Manchester. The years gone highlights the essential role the organization plays in tackling debt and supporting vulnerable residents through advice, advocacy, and financial empowerment. As economic pressures persist, our commitment to strengthening community resilience remains unwavering. l end this report with a few words from Gateway's clients: Client J "I was overthe moon with what Jo did for mewhen I woke up this morning I thought I can finally live a life now." J was having incorrect deductions from her UC payments and getting no help or support from her case manager. Gateway put a note on herjournal and Jade continued to make teLephone contact. Eventually the mistake was corrected, and her payments were increased. She J was also reimbursed over £4.000. Client MW "l just don't know what to say, you and your team are absolutely amazing, thank you 80 much for all your help and support"

GATEWAY M40 MW came to Gateway needing debt advice. They present with acquire brain injury and alcohol dependence. Helped to complete a Debt and Mental Health Evidence Form it was presented to creditors who wrote off debt over ten thousand pounds. Cllent RB "l just wanted to say thank you for your amazing help and support the service is an absolute lifeline for helping people like me get their lives back on track l am forever gratef u L" RB needed a Debt Relief Order and received budget help to stabilise their income and expenditure. They were introduced to the food pantry where they now volunteer. RB was also awarded a Glasspool grant for household items. Cllent KB Jo went above and beyond to assist my niece with debt advice and helping h8r obtain a debt relief order. My niece suffers from severe mental health and finds it difficult to communicate and leave the house, but Jo was extremely patient and understanding of her needs and took the extra time to make her feel comfortable ensuring that she fully understood everything and allowing her the extra time she needed to communicate and gather paperwork. She was very kind and made her feel at ease which made the process more manageable for her to deal with. Thanks for all your help with everything Jo, you're a8tarx Client F I came for benefit help as I was really worried I got help from Paula and beltin Berni lol theywere both amazing and very funnywhich made myworrying better I went home and felt really good about my situation thank YOLJ and to the ladywho brewed up too. Cllent BD For someone like me, who has anxiety disorder and PTSD the personable face to face contact and support was so beneficial and helped alLeviate any worries and concerns. What seemed like a hellish position of never-ending financial debt that would never end and was in turn having a major detrimental effect on my mental heaLth could be resolved. Through the amazing support I can now look to a future. M40Gateway have saved my life, they are an absolute lifeline indeed... Client G Jo was amazing, genuinely kind and compassionate. I cannotthank her enough. Getting help from Gateway M401 can honestly say saved my life. I had overwhelming thoughts of suicide and could see no way out of my money problems. Jowent above and beyond to help both me and my son {who is currently being treated for Lymphoma) He

GATEWAY M40 absolutely and genuinely adores Jo. Jo as kept in touch making sure, we are both ok. Thank you all for your help and understanding. If any of my friends are having problems, I wilL tell them about GatewayM40. Flnancial revlew Expenditure in 2024 was £275,256 and income totalled £356,315. This in year surplus was anticipated in our budgets and with monies held over from 2023 means Gateway M40 ends 2024 with £158,000 in our bank accounts as we move into 2025. We thank all our funders for their support, notably in this year The National Lottery Community Fund, The Henry Smith Charity, Tudor Trust and one smaller but useful grant from Manchester City Council. By far our biggest expenditure is salary related costs this year totalling over £153,000. This reflects Gateways intention to spend our financial resources in the way that best serves our clients. Without question it is the work of our staff, the face-to-face cLient work they do, and the administrative work required by the caseloads they carry that achieves the amazing results we do on behalf of our clients. This year we also facilitated the giving of over £28.000 directly to our clients in small grants resulting from our partnership with Acts 435 whose generous donors have responded so generously to the needs we post on behalf of our clients. Afurther£37,OOOwas passedto clients through ourpartnershipwith Glasspool IFlexibLe Frontline Funds). This is a new partnership for us and is meeting a real need. Over £24,000 was paid in rent 8nd utilities a figure that reflects the increases imposed by the ongoing effects of inflation and cost of living increases. In this year the trustees needed professional advice before they could make informed decisions regarding an employment concern. This resulted in our only other large expenditure of fifteen thousand pounds. The remaining expenditure a little under 26¥0 of total expenditure represent the sundry expense need to run the office and the work Gateway undertakes. Investment powers and policy The trustees. having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available funds in a savings account. Reserves policy and golng concern The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31 st December 2024 was £92,860 of which £90.428 are free reserves after allowing for funds tied up in fixed assets. The Charity's main source of income is grants. The Trustees considerthat it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease. The trustees aim to establish and maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at

GATEWAY M40 a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered. The trustees consider that the charity is a going concern. Any reliance on grant funding is managed through a flexible approach to activities and project delivery. Risk management As the charity continues to establish itself the trustees will conduct a review of the major risks to which the charity may be exposed, and systems will be established to mitigate those risks. Plans for Future Periods We begin 2025 with a determined and hopefulvision thatthe workwe do will continue to serve the people of North Manchester; changing the lives of individuals and families as we help to release them from debt and maximise incomes. We end 2024 confident that we will meet our budget needs for 2025. We have a further two years of funding from the National Lottery Community fund which will provide 1 OOK in 2025 and we have a secured 30k from Henry Smith who we hope to approach for continuation funding. This along wlth reserves and the possibility of other applications secures 2025 and Leads us confidently into 2026, However as the demand for our services continues to grow it is likely we WILI need to consider some form of expansion including increased staff numbers and larger premises; this will undoubtedly require increased funding. However based on our experience of fundraising we are confident we can achieve what needs to be done. Another pressing need is to grow and diversify the membership of our board of trustees.
