Creating a welcoming c(mUnIty whith supwrts our aims. Slatement of Publlc Boneflt The Trustees have complied with the duty in seclion 1715) of th8 Charities Act 201110 have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. All aspects of Wimbledon Guild's work are open to the people of the London Borough of Merton (LBMI, and Wimbledon Guild continues lo provide an extensive range of social vlfare services, working in partnership wlth numerous voluntary and slalutory organisalions. Strateglc Rèport 1. Overvlew ol Ihe Morton sltuatlon after the Covid Pandemlc The London Borough of Merton has a distinct demcgr8phy. Wards in the W8St (Wimbledon, Raynes Park) lend to have m¢ye affluent and okler populalions. Wards in Ihe East (Mitcham, Mordenl lend lo have a younger, m(Ke 8thni¢ally diverse populations, vrilh highef levels of deprivation. We aim to meet Ihe needs of all local people following the pallems of local demand. Typically. our services for older people lend to be focussed in the Wesl of the borough and services tackling poverty and supwting mental heallh lend to be focJJssed in the East of the Borough. 2022 - 23 marked the start of Wimbledon Guild's new five-y8ar business plan, created wilh a s8nse thal the worst of Covid was n¢)w behind us. However. the lirMJering e(x)nomi¢ and health
WIMBLEDON GUILD OF SOCIAL WELFARE (a company limited by guarantee) effect5 of the pandemic remained. and these have led lo delays in th8 implementation of some of our proposed capital projects and investment initiatives. The business plan made varK)us assumptions aul income and expenditure, but there have been significant variances in the first year of the plan. We have been more successful in securing grant funding than the previous year £706.264 Compared lo £553,508 bul investments have perfomied poorly, and the value of our property portfolio has fallen slighuy. This has affecled our plans for disposals and has also delayed the redevelopment of the Guild and Drake House sites, as property developers are currently very Cautious about new projects. Despite the delays with our larger redevebpment project. we have plans to lease a double shop unit in central Morden. We will use property to deliver $8rvices to people who struggl8 lo come lo Wimbledon. We believe that this will be an exlIent way lo improve the service, expaTrJ our offering and reach more customers in the Easl of Merton. The propety requires extensive refurbishmenl, which we aim to compl8te by late autumn 2023. 2. Achlevements. Perfomiance and Future Plans Many a¢livities and services ar8 now exceeding pre-pandemic levels of demand. as we witness the long-lerm mental health and financial difficulties resulting from COVKI - bul also. more posilively. clients, ren8wed desire lo participate in in-person aclivilies. Mosl staff now work from Guild House most of the time, with home workir¥J availab18 to respond to family or caring issues or to facjlilale complex analylic81 or Ilen work. a) Reduce soclal Isolatlon and lonelln•ss. Backgmund Reducing Social isolation and loneliness is a uoss-cutting theme which consistently guide8 much of our work. Our Community SeNces' lolal client and inleraction numbers have increased substantially this year. (2020121 2,800". 2021122 1,618, 2022123 3,500). This is due to Sb3nifKantly expanded attendance at activities and increased calls to the Community Hub lour helpline service funded by Ihe London Borough of M8rton), primarily linked lo cosl-of-living difficulties. Data suggests that around half of Hub cAllers are from the East of Merton. Nel of Hub interactions, the Communily servic85 team supported 1,948 dients in the year.. pre-covid trY averaged around 1,7C(i each year. What we have achleved and how we have achieved it Befriendin Demand lor our Befriending Service has continued to increase. even allowing for a pause in new applications in quarter 3 whilst we updated policies and procedures. Pre Covid the annual total was around 110 clients.. in the last year we prowded 172 clients wilh a service. The nature of befriending referrals has Changed since the pandemic. with more clienls aged under 65. Typically, new Glients have higher support needs and fflore complex health issues than in the past. Clients are now also spread rn0 evenly across Merton. wilh 46% coming from the mor8 deprived wards in the East of the borough. 31 % of dients now identrfy as Black or Minority Ethnic {BAME) compared to 21% in 2018119. We are also seeing more male clients - 40%. in conlrast lo 260/¥ in 2018119. We attribute this l)oth lo general awareness Campaigns about male mental health and ck)sures of local services aimed at this group.

WIMBLEDON GUILD OF SOCIAL WELFARE (a company limited by guarantee) mmunit En menl Thé Community Engagement Team who lead the activity programrn8 for older people, adapted and introduced new activities throughout Covid. Over 2022123. the team has continued to create n8w a¢livilies in response lo dienl requests and by generating new local connections. In 2022123 the team saw 709 clients. compared wlh 290 in 2020121, during Covid. Client numbers now exceed pr8-CovMY levels1680 in 2019120) and show that k)cal people have a dear preference for in-person activities. We are seeing the strongest demand from the 75-84 age group, with slightly higher numbers of male120%1 and BAME (25%) parti¢ipants than in previous years. The Café Pre Covid the rAfé served 500-7(K) meals each month. Numbers have sleadlly increased and exceeded this figure in the final quarter 2022Q3 - in March 2023 we served around 730 meals. We have 15 regular café volunteers. including some new recruits and five with additional support needs. 141 people came lo Christmas Lunches, our highesl number ever. The events were sponsored by a lo1 coffee company, who also provided volunteers. We have held numerous celebratory lunches to mark special 1xcaonS (including Chinese New Year and Easter) and themed meals and lalks including the cuisine of Spain and Guyana. Our six-week cooking and baking classes were well received by participants. We ar8 very conscM)us that Ihe cost-of-living increase is having a significant effect on our café ujstcthers. and we did rnl increase café prices in 2022-23. 'Fo(IY is excellent 8nd served th a happy wnile.. '1 Tramy look ft¥w8rd to it. Staff are very friendly.. long may it continue,. Future Plan$ We envisage Ihal our new satelli1818asehokl property in Morden will makè a significant contribution lowards tackling loneliness and isolation in other parts of Merton. We propose to offer a range of services similar to those availatrAe at Guild Hous8. with some adaptations lo respond tho specific needs of the Morden community. Demographic infornalion suggests that Morden has the largest LGBTQ+ pjpulation in the Borough and also the highest incidence of alcohol misuse. We are exploring ideas for partnership working wilh other local voluntary or9anisations, ensuring that we compl8ment rather than dUpl1le existing services. Talklng Theraplos We particularly want to explore options to expand our Talking Therapies off8r and make it more accessible. We are ¢onsKlering offering shorter term therapie5 and group sessions which may feel more user-friendly for pèople who have not used any form of mental heallh support previously. Emotional Su delivered by our Talking Therapi8s Team continued to offer a valuabl8 resource throughout th8 year, as local people experienced the ongoing impact of Covid related isolation. together with newef stresses, including the costwof-living crisis.

In-person sessions have become more popular, with 160 sessions delivered. in conlrasl to 65 in 2021122. 100% of clients rated the service as excellent and 100% would recommend the service to family arKI friends.
WIMBLEDON GUILD OF SOCIAL WELFARE (a company limited by guarantee) Individual Counselli We are working to increase the number of individual counselling clienls. Difficulties in recruiting appropriate volunleers and some slaff vacancies limited Ihe reach of the 1..1 service over the year at Pfesenl we are actively recruiting new volunteers and aim to have 35 volunteers at any one time, in conlrasl to Ihe cuent 21. In 2022123. a total of 98 clients were seen by the 1..1 service, a slight increase on the previous year. Salisfaction levels remain hh, with 100% of the 28 clients who ended therapy in the year saying thal they would recommend Ihe service to others and 96% saying that their counsellor understood their probl8ms, compared with a KPI of 85'/0. The 1..1 58rvice Manager post was vacant for a p8riod during the year bul has now been filled and we are already seeing growth in client numbers. Future Plans We have been working to extend th8 reach of the TalkiNJ Therapies service. We plan lo introduce more short-lerm therapies and therapies focussiTh3 on fflore immediate problem solving. in locations throughout Merton. We have recently secured five-year funding from the City Bridge Trust lo recruit a BAME counsellor to ensure that we are relevant to communities who may not routinely access mental health services, for a range of reasons. l• ¥Yho are ex dlfficultl Backgrnund Our Wellbeing Support Team works wilh ohyer peopl8 who ar8 experienc1 difficulties..

W If Grant Despite the fad that the Covid paThJemic has largely passed. we continue to see its impact. Some P8ople have developed bng term health problems, others have lost friends and family memb8r8. The impact of job losses is being felt and the emotional toll of the pandemic is having an effect. Global and national political events have negatively impacted the economy and Merton has declared a Cost-of-LiMng crisis. recognising th8 financial tjiffuillies that many people face. In 2020121 w8 gave grants to a value of just over £49.000. In 2021122 this increased lo just urKler £70,000. In 2022123 the sum increased again to £158,(MJO. 508 households were given a grant, in contrast to 317 in the previous year. Average sums increased from £377 to £442 since last year. with some households {typically those with young children or where there are serious long tem health condilions or disabilities) receiving more than £1.CM)O.

Future Plans We envisage that demand for indiwdual grants will remain high over the course of the next year. We will continue to ensure that our service is accessible and welcoming as Fossible, recognising that requesting 9ranls is a humiliating experience for many people. We will also continue to take a holistic approach - very often financtal problems are linked lo olher problems. Over the year we have expanded our partnership with the Citizens, Adwce Bureau (CA81. who now offer both

Future Plans We propose to continue lo build our mlationships wilh new audiences. induding extending our reach in the East of M8rton.

The lolal number of volunteers working with Wimbledon Guild has now returned lo pre•pandemic levels.. with 156 local people volunteering with us on a weekly, monthly, or ad hoc basis. This flects a wrdely repJrt8d national trend. as many peopl8 are now returning to paid employment post -Cowd. We have sIrtageS of volunteers for some roles, and we aim to increase the number of volunteers to alUt 200 over the next year.

WIMBLEDON GUILD OF SOCIAL WELFARE {a company limited by guarantee) Financial Management Pollcles a) Reserves Wimbledon Guild had total funds of £32.2m at 31 March 2023. of which £17.Om are restricted. Of the unrestricted funds 01 £15.2m. £0.86m can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets, and £13.8m can only be Tealised by disposing of Investment Properties. The remaining £0.51 m represents free reserves. Restncled Fund- Expendable Endowment In 2015116 the Trustees established a special Irust ('Expendable Endowmenf) whi¢h is administered by Wimbledon Guild as trustee. The trust is held as an èndowment fund and th8 income from the trust {'special Injsl income,) and. at Wimbledon Guild's discretion. 811 or part of the capital is applied for thè furtherance of those aspects of the charitable objects of Wimbledon Guild which are concerned with the provision of welfare services and relief and prevention ol poverty. r8li8f and prevention of ill health and provision of charitable support lo the eld8rly, During 2022123 the trust generated special trust income of £668,825 (2022: £340,963). In the yèar ££650,593 {2022.' 529.711) of special trust income along with capllal of £425.974 (2022.. £689,037) was used for Wimbledon Guild's charitable purposes. At 31 March 2023, the expendable endowmenl was £17.011.617 (2022.. £17.213,419). Free Reseryes The Trustees have adopted a reserves policy whlch they consider appropriate to ensure the continued ability of Wimbledon Guild lo meet ils obiectives. Free reserves are défined as that part of Wimbledon Guild's funds that are freely available fot its general purpose8. An appropriate level of frne resepth is required to maintain a lev81 of readily realisable assets.. lo sustain Wimbledon Guikl's opeolions within the London Borough of Merton through periods of economic downturn and uncertainty for long enough lo lake remedial aclion. lo develop new $8rvic8s or expand current ones in line with the changing ne8ds of the community. whilst supporting existing clients and slaff during periods of change. to ensure th81 delays in the receipt of expected income do not interrupt seNi¢es or cause serious financial dfficulties. to survive unexpected selbad(s and problems arising frcm inl8mal or extemal auses. The Truslees have reviewed the required level of free reserves, Expermlable EndNment funds, the risk profile of Wimbledon Guild and ils plans for the future. In considering the minimum18vel of free reserves Ihe Truslees have taken account of the quantum and aG¢essibilily of the Expendatre Endowment fund and Wimbledon Guild's discretionary powers to draw capital down when required to fund certain of the charFtable activities of the charity. The Trustees have determined that the minimum level of free reserves required to be held is £0.5m which currently represents about 2 10 2.5 months of annual expenditure. The Trustees will ¢ontinue to drawdown capital from the Expendable Endowment when required to meel the operational needs of the charity. This situatnn will be rewewed on an ongoing basis. 13

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Wimbledon Guild of Social Welfare
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wimbledon Guild of Social Welfare (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as of 31 March 2023 and of its income and expenditure, for the year then ended.
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responslblllt108 of tru8ts08 As explained more fully in the Irustees. responsibilities stalement set out on page 17 the trustees {who are also the directors of the charitable company for thè purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of th8 financial slatements and for being Satisf that they give true and fair view, and for such inlemal conlToI as thé truslees detem)ine is necessary lo enable the preparation of financial ststements that are free from malerial misstatement. whelher due lo fraud or error. In preparing the financial slalements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going concern and using Ihe going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo liqUale the charitabl8 company or lo cease operalions. Of have no realistic altemative but to do AudltoV8 ro8ponslbllltl•$ for the audh of flnanclal stataments Our objectives are lo oblain reasonable assurance about whether Ihe financial statements as a whole are free from malenal misslalement. whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will atways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error aThJ are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they o)ukl reasonably be expected to influence Ihe economic deasions of users taken on the basis of these financial slatemenls. Delails of thè extent lo which the audit was consxlered capable of dele¢liNJ irregularities, including fraL¢d and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below. A furlher description of our responsits'lities for the audit of the finanual statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website al.. www.fr rsres sibililies. This description fomis part of our auditor's report. The extent to which the audlt was considered capable of dotoctlng IrregularIt8. Includlng fraud. Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatemenl of Ihe financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error. and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audil procedures r8StM)nsive to those nsks. including 19
WIMBLEDON GUILD OF SOCIAL WELFARE (a company Ilmlted by guarantee) obtaining audrt evidence sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. We oblained an understanding of Ihe legal a1 regulatory framevK)rks within which the tharitable company op8rat8s. focusing on Ihose laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounls and disclosures in the financ1 statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 20C and the Charities Act 2011 togelher with the Charities SORP {FRS 102). We assessed Ihe required compliance with these laws aTrJ regulations as part of our audit procedures on the rèlaled finanal statement items. In addition. we considefed provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on th8 finanual slalements but compliance with which might be fundamental lo the oharitsble company s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also consid8red the opportunities and incentives that may exist within Ihe charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for th6 UK operations wera Gèneral Dala Prolects'on Regulation, Employment Law and Health and Safely legislations Audiling standards limit the required audit procedu lo identfy non-compliance with ihese laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence. if any. We identified the greatest risk of material irnpact on the finanoal statements from irregularities, including fraud, lo be within the recognition of grant income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to Ihese risks includèd enquiries of management about their i)wn identification and assessmenl of the risks of irregularili8s. sample testing on the posling of joumals, reviewing a¢UntIng eslimales for brases, reviewing ffjgulatory correspondence with the Charity CommisswJn, and reading minutes of me8ting$ of those charged with governance. Owing lo the inherent limitations ol an audit, there is an unavoidable risk Ihal we may not have delected some malerial misslalemenls in the financial slalemenls, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with audiling slaThJards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions rellected in the financial statements. the less likely Ihe inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would id8nlify il. In addition. as wilh any audit. there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularili8s. as these may involve ¢ollusi¢)n, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ol internal controls. We are not responsible for pr8venting non•complianc6 and cOnrt be expected to deleci non<ompliance with all laws and regulations. Uso of our rewt This report is made solely for lh8 L*arilable company's mèmbers, as a brAy, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Compani8s A 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so thal w8 might stale to the charitable company s members those matters we are required to state lo them in an auditor's report and f¢y no other purpose. To the fullest extent pemiitted by law, we do nol accept or assume responsibility lo anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body. for our audit work. for this report. or for the opinions we have fornied.
