Services for Empowerment and Advocacy

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

Our primary focus is on enabling people in Housing, Health, and Social Care settings to have a voice and actively participate in the services they receive. By allowing individuals to express their opinions and be heard, we believe it can drive positive change at the grassroots level.

Provide relief to people who are disadvantaged and in need of housing, care or support through.

(1) The provision of advocacy services which help disadvantaged people to express their views, provide feedback and make complaints, and uphold their rights.

(2 The provision of services that help disadvantaged people to develop their capacity and life skills and enable them to participate more fully in society.

(3) The provision of assistance and support to organisations who deliver services to disadvantaged people to help them to better understand their service user's needs and aspirations.

Objectives, strategies and activities

1.Delivery of Advocacy Services

SEA provide independent advocacy for individuals using Housing, Health, and Social Care services, supporting them to express views, raise concerns, and uphold their rights.

Compile and submit quarterly advocacy reports, including case studies, to influence service improvement.

2.Facilitating Service User Participation

Advocates attend service user focus groups and involvement meetings to support dialogue with service providers.

SEA colleagues maintain a consistent and growing presence across Framework services in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and Lincolnshire to ensure accessibility and engagement.

3.Lived Experience Engagement and Peer Mentorship

SEA employ peer mentors to work directly with individuals experiencing rough sleeping, identifying barriers and shaping more responsive services. Peer mentors deliver outreach work across all Nottinghamshire communities to engage with rough sleepers. They work alongside other service provider in the community such as Street Outreach and Change Grow Live Charity.

4.Education and Professional Development

SEA partner with Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham to: Integrate lived experience into the recruitment and training of Social Work students.

Our volunteers deliver tailored sessions to Health and Social Care students by taking part in the interview panels and practical exercises increasing awareness of the realities faced by service users.

5.Support for Service Providers

SEA offer consultation and feedback services to organisations delivering care and support, helping them better understand the needs and aspirations of the people they serve

Trustees' Report (continued)

Public benefit

SEA support individuals who may otherwise struggle to be heard such as those experiencing homelessness, poor mental health, or social isolation to express their needs and preferences. This helps to reduce inequality and ensure that services are more responsive, inclusive, and equitable.

By facilitating feedback, complaints, and direct engagement with decision-makers, we help ensure that public services, particularly those funded through local or national government are better informed, more effective, and accountable to the people they serve.

Through our volunteer roles, and peer mentoring, we help individuals gain confidence, purpose, and transferable skills. This contributes to improved well-being, greater independence, and reduced reliance on crisis services.

By enabling people with lived experience to participate in service design, student education, and peer support, we foster empathy, social cohesion, and more compassionate systems. Our collaborative work with universities also helps shape future professionals to be more person-centred and responsive to real-world needs.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Trustees' Report (continued)

Achievements and performance

During the year we expanded our service model to include spot purchase advocacy, enabling external organisations and local authorities to commission individual advocacy support on a case-by-case basis.

This flexible model allows us to respond quickly to the needs of people who may not be covered by ongoing contracts but still require independent advocacy such as individuals facing urgent housing issues, navigating complex health and social care systems, or experiencing barriers to having their voice heard.

Financial review

The financial year April 2024 to March 2025 was marked by increasing financial pressures, reflecting both the wider economic climate and the ongoing challenges of securing sustainable income in the social care and advocacy sectors.

Despite prudent financial management and targeted efforts to diversify our funding streams, SEA were unable to secure the long-term grants or contracts needed to maintain service delivery at its existing scale. As a result, the trustees took the difficult decision to look for an external partner to merge with whose vision and values aligns with SEA, failing this the trustees will plan an orderly closure.

Policy on reserves

It is the intention of the trustees to build up reserves to ensure that it can:

Fund the development of costs of new activities that will add value to the work of SEA. Maintain SEA’s activities for a period of time if funding is reduced or comes to an end.

Close down in a planned way, meeting all its obligations to staff and creditors.

The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the organisation's planning, budget and forecast cycle. It takes into account:

Risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted

It is the aim of the trustees that the organisation moves to a position that it holds a general reserve equivalent to six months running costs to ensure that the organisation could continue to operate during a period of an unexpected reduction or cut to its funding.

At year-end, unrestricted reserves stood at £65,558, which the trustees have designated for use in ensuring an orderly wind-down of operations, including staff redundancy payments, final reporting, and transition support for service users.

Going concern

Given the shortfall in projected income, the trustees have concluded on the 31 August 2025 that the charity will not be a going concern. However, a potential merger with another organisation is currently under consideration.

Page 4

Services for Empowerment and Advocacy

Trustees' Report (continued)

Should this be successful, it may provide a pathway to continue some elements of SEA’s mission and services within a new structure.

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The CIO Foundation is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 9 June 2021.

Major risks and management of those risks

Financial Risk

The trustees have reviewed the key financial risks facing SEA. The following areas have been identified as current and critical:

Without new or continued funding, there is a risk that the charity may be unable to meet its financial obligations such as staff salaries, redundancy payments, and outstanding liabilities before winding down.

Trustees are mitigating this by carefully managing reserves and creating a closure plan.

The charity is highly dependent on short-term or project-based funding (e.g. contracts with Framework, local authority & university partnerships). The absence of multi-year, unrestricted income has led to a funding cliff edge, increasing vulnerability to any disruption or non-renewal.

There is a risk that closure-related costs such as staff redundancies, legal advice, and final operational costs may exceed available unrestricted reserves. If not managed properly, this could expose trustees to reputational or legal risk.

While the proposed merger presents an opportunity, it also brings financial uncertainty:

Due diligence may uncover liabilities, there may be hidden transition costs (e.g. IT integration, staff handovers). Failure of the merger to proceed could leave the charity in a weakened position, having already diverted resources into planning

Mitigating Actions

As we reflect on our journey at SEA, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support, encouragement, and belief in our mission.

Thanks to your contributions, we have been able to:

• Empower people with lived experience to shape both frontline practice and the next generation of professionals.

While we have faced significant funding challenges this year and have made the difficult decision to plan for closure we are proud of the legacy we leave behind. At the same time, we are actively exploring a potential

Whatever the outcome, we remain incredibly grateful for your support. It has been the foundation of our ability to make change from the ground up. Your backing has helped people not just be heard, but be valued, involved, and empowered.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Services for Empowerment and Advocacy

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Services for Empowerment and Advocacy

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Services for Empowerment and Advocacy (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Services for Empowerment and Advocacy meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Given the shortfall in projected income, the trustees have concluded on the 31 August 2025 that the charity will not be a going concern. However, a potential merger with another organisation is currently under consideration. Should this be successful, it may provide a pathway to continue some elements of SEA’s mission and services within a new structure.

The trustees are committed to transparency throughout this transition and remain grateful for the support of our funders, partners, and community.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Page 12

Services for Empowerment and Advocacy

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
