Trustee induction and training
Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity as most were previously involved in Your Voice Advocacy Project in some way. They are also regularly invited to take part in team-building and staff development days and other Your Voice Advocacy Project events.

Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.
The trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, where at unacceptable levels, haven taken steps to mitigate those risks.

The level of payment made to all key management personnel is reviewed annually by Trustees.
Organisational structure

The Manager is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met and also has responsibility for the day to day operational management of staff, individual supervision of the staff team and also ensuring that the team continue to develop their skills and working practices in line with good practice.
Objectives and activities
Control over the financial affairs is effected by the Trustees.
The objectives of the Your Voice Advocacy Project are the relief of persons with learning difficulties who by reasons of mental handicap have need of such relief within the former County of West Glamorgan ("the beneficiaries") and in particular, but not exclusively:
a) to advance the education and training of the beneficiaries;
b) to relieve the poverty of beneficiaries who are in need;
c) to advance the education of the public in the experiences and needs of the beneficiaries
d) to assist families of beneficiaries in any way calculated to provide such a relief as aforesaid.
Your Voice seeks to promote the rights of people with learning disabilities to make choices and to understand those choices. The charity aims to:
- Enable and empower people to make informed choices and express their views.
- Support people to access appropriate information and services.
- Defend and promote the rights and responsibilities of our clients in the community.
- Work in partnership with vulnerable individuals and give them a voice in the decisions that affect their daily lives.
To achieve these aims and objectives Your Voice facilitates several projects and services supporting people with learning disabilities with a wide range of issues and problems, empowering them to have a voice in the decisions that matter. These include:
- Peer Advocacy (empowering service users to support themselves and their peers)
- Independent Professional Advocacy (representing someone who is facing a particular problem or issue in their life)
- Participation Group/Social Groups (supporting people with learning disabilities to take a fuller role in their communities and enjoy social interaction)
- Easy-read conversion to make public documents more accessible and easily understandable (e.g. advice and guidance, reports, assessments,etc.).
- Co-production - supporting individuals with a learning difference to understand and participate in partnership working between people who draw on care and support, carers and citizens to improve public services.
Volunteers
Volunteer activity was consistently high throughout 2024-25 making possible the weekly delivery of nearly a dozen groups. 12 member volunteers provided in the region of 1300 working hours, online and in person. Throughout the year, volunteers ran their own social groups in Neath, Swansea and online as well as staging a Xmas Fayre event. YVA would like to give special thanks to the charity Awel Amman Tawe for providing cheap transport for volunteers and members. Volunteers brought with them a variety of skills which have been extremely important for the smooth running of the projects: -
* Providing assistance to other members
* Running online group meetings/activities
* Organising events
* Providing assistance with publicity and Easy Read conversion
* Contributing to co-productive processes
Achievements and performance
The charity has continued to support individuals with learning disabilities through independent advocacy, social activities and events and influenced the strategy and policy decision of statutory bodies such as health and social services through its participation in co-production.
Your Voice maintains excellent links and works in partnership with Local Authority and Learning Disability Services yet remains independent and able to challenge at high levels. It also has close working relationships with other organisations in the community that provide care and support such as Swansea Bay University Health Board, Ambulance Service, Carers Centre, Community Lives Consortium, Mencap, Mirus and Walsingham, as well as the South Wales Police.
Your Voice is a member of both the West Glamorgan Regional Partnership (WGRP) and a key partner in the delivery of Swansea's Co-production Strategy. YVA remains a member of national organisations All Wales People First and WCVA and locally of the Councils for Voluntary Services in Neath and Swansea. Our staff member with lived experience attends numerous forums and representative meetings convened by the local health board and WGRP.
During 2024-25 face-to-face activities and meetings offered the option of attending online through 'hybrid' or 'blended' meetings. In January 2025 YVA trialled the production of a 'mini-zine' in easy-read format that combined information with fun activities. An average of 34 members were engaged in groups. YVA raised awareness of learning disability issues by providing training and easy-read conversions, as well as taking part in consultations and surveys. YVA successfully held its first Xmas Fayre in in December 24, attended by over 20 sellers and 60 members of the public. This event was entirely organised by members and more are planned for 2025-26. The Website and our social media presence continues to be transformed by our Social Media Officer so that we now have a strong 'brand' image and regular postings of our work on Instagram, Meta (Facebook), X (Twitter) and Linkedin.
All staff continued to have the option of working from home, using the Clydach office when printing has to be done, meeting other agencies or training volunteers. We continue to develop links with the Clydach Community Council, further extending our network of supporters and sponsors. Funding for the 'Count Me In' project in the Gorseinon continued in 2024-25 and YVA launched its 'Keep Me Healthy Too' campaign in close liaison with the local Health Board. This involved setting up two cookery classes (Gorseinon and Neath) to teach basic nutrition and budgeting. Group entry fees and Easy read commissions continue to be YVA's only source of unrestricted income.
Financial review
The Charity's net outgoings for the year amounted to £720 (compared to net outgoing resources in 2024 of £21,904). There were various restricted funds received during the year. These funds were expended on salaries and agreed overheads. Any unspent revenue income is carried forward to next year. The total unrestricted funds at the end of the year represent the Charity's free reserves and amounted to £865 (2024 - £903).
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees recognise the need for reserves to ensure the principal objectives of the Charity are met. In addition, if one of the main funders were to cease funding the Charity, time would be needed to find an alternative. The loss of funding may result in the need to fund statutory redundancy and other costs which would have to be funded out of accumulated reserves. The trustees seek to achieve a target level of free reserves equal to three months direct charitable costs. At the balance sheet date, the target level of unrestricted funds amounted to £22,154 (2024: £26,981).
POLICY OF RISK
The Charity Commission has recommended that all Trustees review the risks facing their charity and formulate a policy to mitigate those risks. The main risk is that of loss of funding. To mitigate this, the Trustees have put in place a reserves policy.
Going concern
Having considered budgets for the next twelve months, the Trustees are confident that the Charity will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties about Your Voice Advocacy Project ability to continue as a going concern. It is therefore considered appropriate by the Trustees to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Plans for future periods
New commissions from WGRP and SBUHB will develop Your Voice Advocacy's services into new areas such as undertaking campaigning action and hosting events in the community. Changes in funders priorities also requires that greater emphasis is given to member-led activity such as peer advocacy groups and providing opportunities for social interaction. Similarly we have to seek to introduce greater diversity into the membership and Board of Trustees. This has led to YVA's involvement with the 'Better Together' initiatives across the region and a concerted effort to make links with like-minded organisations. Responding to diversity in the community includes making our events and information more accessible. Also, creating links and collaborating with those organisations working with minority ethnic groups and marginalised sections of society in order to better understand their needs. Participation in organised events such as Swansea's One Stop Shops and the GP Practice Cluster events across the region, will bring YVA into contact with a wide range of organisations.
YVA's priority for the coming year remains to encourage greater independence and resilience amongst active members with the aim of establishing more user-led groups and groups that deliver life-skills as well as encouraging greater participation in co-production with both Swansea and Neath Port Talbot councils. New income sources will be explored and new partnerships formed in order to establish a funding pipeline and with-it long term financial stability. The original ethos of the organisation to seek the integration rather than segregation for disabled people will be revived in our funding applications and work with partnership bodies. Where the opportunity arises, we will also develop our independent advocacy work amongst members, seek out paid commissions and apply for the creation of a properly qualified advocacy team. Finally, it is recognised that long term financial security will only be achieved by securing substantial funding for a major project over several years from a major grant maker and establishing a 'funding pipeline' that includes a proportion of unrestricted funding.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Forge Fach Community Resource Centre, Hebron Road, Clydach, Swansea, SA6 5EJ.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment
-
20% straight line
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital.
