TRUSTEES REPORT
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts of Warminster Action Group forthe
year ended 31 August 2025. The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis with
a Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
In March 2020 Wanninster 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 duri
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 retum to a new 'normal'. the trustees at the
time felt there was a continuing need in Wamiinster for support and action and Warminster Action
Group became a registered charity.
Shortly afier achieving Charitable status a leasewas secured on 1B Chinns Courtwhich became known
as 'The WAG House,. The continuing need for WAG'S services meant that we soon outgrew these
premises and in March 2024 moved to our current location in Wilson & Kennard Yard.
Structure
ovemance and mana
ement
The ConstFtution 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, experien￿ and suitability for the role. This
ensures the Board has experience in the required areas to fuffil its responsibilities.
Trustees are re-appointed as per the Constitution at the Annual General Meeting approving the
Accounts.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
Our main activities are as follows:
Shopping and prescription delivery Servi￿ to those with mobilty issues. illness or anyone who
has come out of hospttal and may need a little help.
Befriending servi¢e- providing a weekly calllvisit to those experiencing isolation or loneliness and
sometimes this is their only link to the outside world.
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 Sli￿ 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 Charity Commission's guidance on public benefrt 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 Perforniance
During 2025 we had a refurt)ishment which has made the WAG House more welcoming and homely.
By taking a down a wall it opened up the space more so that it was more inclusive. The door to the
office from the main room meant that the corner was not able to be used. Therefore. the Offi￿ door
was blocked up and a new opening made in the hallway to access the offi￿.
Our shopping and prescription Servi￿ continues to provide a lifeline to those who are unable to ￿ave
home for whatever reason. Our befriending sep4ice is very popular and we currently have a waiting
list.
The WAG Communty Shed which officially opened on 1 September 2025 is a Spa￿ for creativty,
making and mending. Our upstairs Creative Space gives the community a￿sS to arts and crafts and
is being used for both complimentary and paid sessions. Both provide services that help with mental
health and well-being.
Financlal Revlew
Our current resep4es policy is to allow for six months core costs.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
Income
Restricted income of £1,844 is made up of a donation of £500 from Warminster Relief in Need and a
grant of £1,344 from Wiltshire Community Foundation Sir George Earl Benevolent Fund. We also
received a grant from Warminster Town Council of £2.500. We are extremely grateful for the continued
support from these organisations as, without it, we would be unable to provide our services to the
community.
Grant income was substantialty lower this year due to the fact that were incredibly Su￿sSfUl with
grants last year.
Our income also included donations and our own fundraising activtties. Fundraising activities have
decreased as we did not hold a larger event during the year and the craft fair we were due to attend in
December 2024 was cancelled due to high winds.
At the start of the financial year the Shed had only just officially opened, but Sin￿ opening has
generated income by way of membership, subs and donations as well as donations for repairing items.
The Shed volunteers made some personalised pet omaments on the laser cutter that were due to be
sold at the craft fair but we were able to sell a few online, to generate some income.
We ￿aSed to run the School Unifom Bank at the beginning of the year as we found that Schools were
operating their own Unifom Banks and it became harder to Se￿1￿ the community as couldn't always
fulfil their requests. All remaining uniform was taken to a local School.
Gift Aid has increased signrficantly this year, which is due to a one-off sponsored event by one of our
volunteers.
Expenditure
Insuran￿ has increased this year, £1,010 (2024: £571) due to the inclusion of coverforthe Communty
Shed.
Included within the Phone Costs of £251 (2024.. £348) is £78 (2024: £175) reimbursed to Annalisa
Young, Chair of Trustees, for a mobile phone contract, which has been agreed by the Trustees. The
cost paid to Annalisa this year has reduced slightly due to her taking some time off, and therefore the
monthly fee was not Glaimed every month.
In the main project expenses and repairs and renewals cover restricted grant income, including the
refurbishment of the WAG House and storage for upstairs. In addition, grant income also contributed
towards costs including our Volunteer software and rent.
The large loss for the year is predominately due to the fact that grant income received during the year
ended 31 August 2024 spanned across two accounting periods and was not spent until the cuirent
year.

Volunteer 8xpenses of £120 include Square App card charges and mileage reimbursed lo volunteers
of £85. The remainder is in respect of DBS checks for new volunteers.
For one of our shopping clients, we hold funds in order to pay for their shopping, which is kept in a
separate bank account. The shopping volunteer pays for the client's shopping, they are then
reimbursed by ourselves from the Shopping Account. We are paid an upfront payment by a relative to
cover the shopping and then funds are topped up as ne￿SSary. At the year end, there is a balan
due to the client of £76 which is shown on page 8.
Future Plans
Now that the WAG Community Shed is up and running, as well as generating income in terms of yearty
membership, session subs and donations, the volunteers and members will be able to produce items
that can be sold at markets.
With the grant money from Wiltshire Community Foundation Sir George Earl Benevolent Fund, we
were able to make the Creative Space more welcoming and have items stored away but accessible,
with everything having a pla￿. We plan to promote the use of the upstairs area more and invite groups
to use the spa￿, both in terms of helping the local communty to enjoy the free sessions on offer but
also having some paid sessions which will bring in income for the charity.
