TRUSTEES REPORT
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts of Warminster Action
Group for the period ended 31 August 2022. The accounts have been prepared on a
re￿Ipts and payments basis with a Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
In March 2020 WarminsterAction Group (WAG) was formed. a grassroots ￿MMunity action
group, run entirely by volunteers to help those within the local community that were having
to shield during lockdown. Covid-19 exposed the fact thatthere is a real need in Warminster
for care, compassion support and action.
As the country came out of lockdown and things started to return to a new 'nomial', the
trustees felt there was a continuing need in Warminster for support and action and decided
to move WAG to the nexi stage, becoming a registered charity.
The trustees agreed that the total funds of £3,613 from the community group would be
carried forward to the newly formed CIO, along with the computer equipment {laptop} of
£704. The amount of £3.613 included £312 of restricted funds, raised by a GoFundMe page
to go towards a community Spa￿ in the centre of Wamiinster.
Becoming a registered charity enabled WAG to secure a lease on premises in Chinns Court,
which became known as The WAG House.
Structure
overnance and mana
8ment
The Constitution of the CIO was adopted on 23 August 2021 and effective from 31 August
2021 when the charity was registered.
New trustees are usually recruited from existing volunteers who are already familiar with the
charity's aims and objectives. They are chosen based on their skills, experience and
suitability for the role. This ensures the Board has experience in the required areas to fulfil
Sts responsibilities.
Trustees are re-appointed as per the Constitution at the Annual General Meeting approving
the Accounts.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
We work locally to enhance the quality of life for all in the community by..
providing community support.,
promoting social inclusion.,
promoting voluntary activity.,
encouraging partnership working,. and
advocating for change.
Our main activities are as follows..
Shopping and prescription delivery service to those with mobility issues, illness or
anyone who has come out of hospital and may need a little help. We have regular
clients that we shop for on a weekly basis. As well as delivering prescriptions for our
regular clients, we deal with requests for urgent same day prescriptions as and when
people need it.
Befriending service- this provides a weekly calllvisit to those experiencing isolation or
loneliness and sometimes is their only link to the outside world. We have seen a
significant demand in the requirement for this se￿1￿ and currently have a waiting list.
The trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and have
due regard to this when making decisions.
The charity is run entirely by volunteers and we are very grateful to them for giving up their
time to support the local communty and be a part of what we have achieved to date.
Achievements and Perforniance
The WAG House
Shortly after achieving charitable status a lease was secured on 1B Chinns Court which has
enabled us to help the local community in a different way. It provides us with a base to
operate from and acts as a safe non-judgemental place for the vulnerable or those
experiencing loneliness and isolation, to socialise and learn new skills. People can come in
and play games, do arts or crafts, orjust call in for a cup of tea and Sli￿ of cake.
For those who find a group setting a bit daunting, we can arrange for them to come and
meet just one or of the volunteers to begin with. The team of volunteers are happy to
listen and help in any way they can. We currently offer this out of hours on a Wednesday
afternoon. We work with the social prescriber from the local Doctors Surgery but you do not
have to be referred to use this service as it is available to anyone on request.
The WAG House also provides a vital space for training and meetings with third parties.
Since we came out of lockdown our befriending service has moved from telephone calls to
fa￿ to fa￿ meetings which has helped with peoples, mental health and well-being and the
majority of these meetings are now held in the WAG House.

Future Plans
Due to an increase in demand for our services we soon outgrew the premises in Chinns
Court and our plan at the end of the last year was to look for suitable premises at a realistic
rent. We were lucky enough to find larger premises in Wilson & Kennard Yard and in March
2023 moved to the new premises.
Now we have more space we have been able to have a separate activities room for sewing,
knitting and arts and crafts. An office provides a confidential room for meetings with third
parties. We have already made some alterations to the space by C￿ating a kitchen in one
of the Offi￿S.
The new WAG House has the ability to be wheelchair friendly with some modifications. We
are looking to obtain grant funding in order to combine the old kitchen and existing toilet to
make one large, easily accessible, disabled toilet.
We are offering the Spa￿ to local support groups so that Ft can be utilised when we are not
open.
