Constitution
The charity is an Charitable Incorporated Organization, incorw)rated 14 ' February 2019.
Trusiee selection
The power to appoint Trustees vests in the existing Trustees.
Risk managemenl
The Trustees have examined the major strategxc, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confllm
that systems have been established to minimise them.
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the Charity are the relief of financial hardship for the public benefit of people with school age
children, in particular bul not exclusively by providing school uniforms, PE kits, shoes, coats atLd other clothing
needed for school that they would oihenwise not afford through lack of means and such other grants for scrviccs,
items or facilities to relieve financial hardship as the trnstees deem appropriate.
We support the building of self-confidencc of young people becausc we value their wellbeing, mental health, and the
huge potential they hold.
Families experiencing financial diffLculties are provided with new iterns to enable their children to fully participate
in school. If a child is lacking these itcm5, not fc¢ling Comfortable, warn and equal, it can distract from a child's
schooling and even affect a child's health and we want to reduce these effects as much as possible.
We deliv￿ parcels at two points in the academic year, a main parcel during the summer terni ready for September
and a top-up mid-way through the a¢ademi¢ year after the Fcbruary half-term break. We also offer emergency parcels
in between these dates, thr()ugh referrals fri>m our partnering Southend schools.
We offer our parcels through our partnering schools and other Council established bodies - working with the staff
who are best placed to identify needs in the community. We know from the feedback we get that parccls makr a
positive difference. We know that replacing uncomfortable and outgrown clothes with comfy warni coats and
properly fitting shoes, has helped chilthen focus oll learning.

Trustees, anllual report- continued

We ultimately airn to level the playing field and support the development of self-confiden¢e in children because we
value the wellbeing of young people and the huge polentl81 they hold. We want them to be abl¢ to go to school,
focus on learning and realise that potential.

Achievements performan¢e
During financial year 23124 the charity continued to support its six partner primary schools, Barnados
(who are Essex County Council's family support provider in the southeast of the county) and Southend
Family Centres. Delivering unifonn parcels at two points in the year as usual. Emergency parcels were
also supplied where needed.
23124 was also a good year foT the ChaTity with grants and community fundraising raising reaching
£50,01 O. This was helped by the dedicated resource brought on board for this purpose.
Other expenses remained in line with prior years. Slightly more admin time was required to process the
larger number of orders.
PWS ended the financial year in a good financial position. It should be noted that to continue operations
for the coming financial year, tnuch of the closin8 balance of 23124 can be consider¢d 'allocated' to
known expenses in the 24125.

At the end of the financial year plans were put in place for 2024125 and comrnitted unifonn spending
