TRUSTEES REPORT
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts of Warminster Action Group for the
year ended 31 August 2023. The accounts have been prepared on a re￿iptS and payments basis with
a Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
In March 2020 Warminster Action Group (WAG) was formed, a grassroots community 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 that there 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 'normal', the trustees at the
time felt there was a continuing need in Warminster for support and action and Warminster Action
Group became a registered charity.
Shortly after achieving charitable status a lease was secured on 1B Chinns Courtwhich became known
as 'The WAG House,.
Structure

the charity was registered.

aims and objectives. They are chosen based on their skills, experience and suitability forthe role. This
ensures the Board has experience in the required areas to fulfil its responsibilities.

Accounts.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
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.
Befriending serVi￿- this provides a weekly calllvisit to those experiencing isolation or loneliness
and sometimes is their only link to the outside world.
School Unrform Bank- this supports familFes by providing preloved school uniforms completely
free of charge.
The WAG House - this provides us with a base to operate from and acts as a safe non-
judgemental pla￿ 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, or just call in for a
cup of tea and slice of cake. We are open three times a week and on Thursdays we hold our
'Over 60s Youth Club,.
The trustees are aware of the Charty 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 community and be a part of what we have achieved to date.
Achievements and Performance
Due to an increase in demand for our services we soon outgrew the premises in Chinns Court and our
plan towards the end of 2022 was to look for suitable premises at a realistic rent. We were fortunate
to find larger premises in Wilson & Kennard Yard and in March 2023 moved to the new premises.
The new premises have an office which provides a Gonfidential room for meetings with third parties.
We decorated the building inside and made one of the offI￿S into a kitchen.
Having more spa￿, meant that one of the rooms could be used as an activities room for sewing.
knitting and arts and crafts. This has had a very positive affect on a large proportion of our clients,
improving their mental health and well-being.
Our shopping and prescription service continues to provide a lifeline to those who are unable to leave
home for whatever reason.

Financial Review
Our current reserves policy is to allow for at least three months core costs.
Income
Restricted income of £7,977 is made up of grants received from Wiltshire Community Foundation,
Wiltshire Council Area Board and the Fudge Trust. Grants from Warminster Town Council and The
Asda Foundation amounted to £3,301. This supplemented our own donations and fvndraising activities
in order to cover our core costs. We are very grateful for the continued support from these
organisations.
We would also like to thank NFU Mutual Warminster for their extremely generous donation which we
have chosen to allocate to Designated Funds.
Expanditure
The move to Wilson and Kennard Yard did incur some one-off costs associated with larger premises
as well as decorating throughout and plumbing for the kitchen.
Included within the phone costs of £353 is £180 reimbursed to Annalisa Young, Chair of Trustees, for
a mobile phone contract, which has been agreed by the Trustees.
Volunteer expenses of £173 include Square App card charges of £17 reimbursed to one of the
volunteers. The remainder is in respect of DBS cheGks for new volunteers.
Project expenses include items for warm packs and refreshments for a launch event for the new WAG
House.
The Client Shop of £26 was for an emergency shop requested by The Avenue Surgery.

Future Plans
During 2023, we were given the opportunity to rent the upstsirs space and we felt that we could use
utilise the12rger room for training sessions and workshops. The small room could accommodate the
School Unifonn Bank and a Recycling area.
The remaining room was an ideal space for a communty shed. A Men's Shed, had previously re￿IVed
funding but was unable to get off the ground as they could not find suitable premises. We approached
the person behind this to see if he could bring our vision to lrfe and he, along with a friend. started the
process of getting the workshop ready to use. Sadly, he became terminally ill and so progress on the
workshop slowed down while we tried to find a suitable person to take on this role.
During the ¢urrent year ending 31 August 2024, we have been successful in securing grants to get the
project up and running and are very grateful to Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund and
Wiltshire Council Area Board for their support.
Setting up the community shed has not been without its challenges but we are delighted to report that
we plan to open in the next month.
