BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Governing document

Bolton Community and Voluntary Services is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24 May 1991 and registered as a charity on 7 June 1991. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The Articles of Association were updated by Special Resolution on 23 September 2021. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

What we do

Public benefit

BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Structure and governance

Bolton CVS has a Senior Leadership Team including the Chief Executive, Deputy Chief Executive and Head of Finance. We also have a Board of Trustees which provides strategic leadership for the organisation and assesses financial and operational performance.

Trustees

Member organisations of Bolton CVS can nominate representatives to the Bolton CVS Board of Trustees and the opportunity to recruit Trustees begins ahead of the Annual General Meeting. If there are more candidates than vacancies on the Board, an election is held at the Annual General Meeting. To ensure that the Board of Trustees is representative of the full range of voluntary and community organisations in the Borough and bring the necessary skills to the Board to achieve our objectives, the Board of Trustees has the right to co-opt up to four representatives for a oneyear term. In addition, Bolton Council nominates one of its elected members (a councillor) to serve as a representative on its behalf.

The trustees in office at the date of approval of these financial statements are listed on page 1. Mr D C Germain, Ms A M Kelly and Mr M Patel were appointed on 6 November 2024 and Dr L Vallance on 22 September 2025. In addition to those listed, the following trustees who served during the last financial year have resigned: Rev P Mason (resigned 8 September 2025), Mr B Lyon (resigned 6 November 2024) and Mr V Patel (resigned 7 August 2024). Mrs J Maher, our Vice-Chair, is currently Acting-Chair.

Trustee terms, induction and board development

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Board of Trustees. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, one third of the members of the Board of Trustees shall retire annually and remain eligible for re-election. The Honorary Treasurer is nominated by the Board of Trustees and appointed by the members of Bolton CVS as an ex officio member of the Board of Trustees.

All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Company Secretary and, in accordance with the Bolton CVS policy, withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest may arise.

All new trustees that are appointed are invited to either a group or one-to-one induction session which provides an overview of the work of Bolton CVS and its projects, with an opportunity to meet the staff team.

Trustees are also invited to take part in training and development sessions throughout the year. There are regular strategic planning sessions, and all Trustees are invited to attend training through Bolton CVS's Stronger Together training programme that will support their personal and professional development.

BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Risk management

The charity regularly conducts reviews of the current and emerging risks to which it is exposed. A cycle of financial projections, scenario modelling and service reviews supports our organisational approach to risk, which also includes regular structural and safety reviews for our building offer.

A comprehensive risk register is maintained and a summary of significant risks is reviewed at each meeting of the Board of Trustees to escalate and to seek strategic input into developing the organisations systems or procedures in order to mitigate the risks the charity faces.

A financial plan has been developed to mitigate the loss of external funding for some of the charity's activities and this plan is reviewed regularly, along with future financial forecasts. internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures laid down in the financial controls policy.

Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations within the premises occupied by the charity (The Bolton Hub) and where staff work remotely. All risk processes and procedures are annually reviewed to ensure they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

Financial review

Our total funds at 31 March 2025 stand at £3,017,348, of which £532,383 is unrestricted funds and £2,484,965 is restricted. £639,218 of the restricted funds balance relates to the book value of The Bolton Hub building.

Reserves policy

The Board of Trustees has examined the charity's need for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. The charity needs reserves to protect its current activities, in order to allow the trustees to meet their day-to-day responsibilities and to ensure that it continues to operate on a going concern basis. The trustees considerthe minimum level of free reserves needed to achieve this is 3 to 6 months’ running costs, including salaries. The level of free reserves at the balance sheet date is as shown below. It brings us close to achieving our base target level.

Unrestricted funds at 31 March 2025 £532,383

Less: designated for the development/maintenance ofthe Bolton Hub
and for service development £30,000
Freereservesat31March2025 £447,995

Investment policy

A significant proportion of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short-term and a prudent amount has been kept available to maintain a healthy cash flow. We have specific investments held under the Big Bolton Fund which are invested in line with our organisational policy and with approval from the Board of Trustees. Our investments are deemed to be low risk.

BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Welcome to the Bolton CVS Annual Impact Report for 2024/2025.

This year has been one of growth, resilience, and renewed purpose. As we reflect on the past twelve months, I’m incredibly proud of the collective achievements of our team, our partners, and, most of all, the vibrant Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector we serve. From distributing over £2.3 million in grants and investments to supporting 240 groups and organisations, to making 395 direct connections to volunteering opportunities, our work continues to be rooted in community, collaboration, and compassion. We’ve strengthened our training offer, expanded our communications reach, and launched innovative programmes like Open4Community and the community-led Live Well Community Investment Fund; each designed to support local people and organisations to lead change. We’ve also celebrated milestones, including the 5th birthday of Bolton’s Fund and launch of the co-designed Bolton VCSE Strategy, and welcomed new trustees and members who bring fresh perspectives and energy to our mission. Our commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging has deepened, and we’ve continued to champion health and wellbeing through targeted initiatives.

This report is more than a summary of numbers; it’s a testament to the power of partnership and the strength of Bolton’s communities.

As we look ahead, we invite you to be part of this journey. Whether you're a local resident, a community group, a funder, partner, or volunteer; there’s a place for you in shaping a stronger, fairer, and more connected Bolton. Get involved, stay connected, and together we will continue to make a difference!

BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees who held office during the year are set out on page 1. The trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Statement of disclosure to auditors

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditors are unaware. Additionally, the directors have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are aware of that information.

Appointment of auditor

A resolution for the reappointment of Smith & Goulding as auditor for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Approval of report

In preparing this report advantage has been taken of the small companies’ exemption. This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf by: J Maher [ juanifrSigned by: Malur Acting Chair —@srssesrisesecc... 3 October 2025

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Bolton Community and Voluntary Services for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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:

Basis of 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 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 responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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 course of 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.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

Docusign Envelope ID: DB14F7D5-8C57-4CEE-94C7-26046E8B661D

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities, the trustees (who are also directors of Bolton Community and Voluntary Services for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities including fraud. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect that those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

BOLTON COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICES

  1. Accounting policies

Bolton Community and Voluntary Services (Bolton CVS) is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. its registered office is The Hub, Bold Street, Bolton.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)” (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern basis

At the time of approving the accounts the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which the trustees decide should be set aside for specific projects or purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions imposed by donors as to how they may be used. Expenditure which meets these criteria is allocated against the relevant fund.

1.4 Income, including grants

Income is recognised on a receivable basis and is reported gross of related expenditure. Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Grants are generally recognised on receipt, or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. Grant income received or invoiced in the period which relates to a performance-related condition fulfilled in a later period is deferred to that later period. A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met.

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

Income from services such as payroll and training is recognised once the service has been provided, whilst income from rent of office space and room hire is recognised in the period to which the rental relates.

Income from other fundraising activities is recognised once the event has taken place and monies have been received. Donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the gift, unless conditions require the deferral of the amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.5 Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment toa third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of trading and similar activities and the associated support costs of those activities. Such activities include payroll and training services, renting of offices and hire of rooms.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs directly incurred by the charity in the delivery to beneficiaries of its core activities and services, including grants administration. The support costs associated with delivery of these activities and services is also included.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Support costs include those central functions which assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. They are allocated to the activity cost categories on bases consistent with the use of the resources, as set out in note 3.

1.6 Transfers between funds

Transfers between funds arise when expenditure is incurred in one fund which can be funded or partfunded by income of another fund. Transfers may also be made from unrestricted funds to clear excess expenditure over income arising in restricted funds.

1.7 Pensions

The company subscribes to a defined contribution scheme covering the majority of its permanent employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contributions payable by the company during the year.

1.8 Operating leases

Operating lease rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.

1.9 Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life, taking into account estimated residual value, as follows:

Freehold building - straight line over 100 years Telephone equipment - straight line over 3 years Furniture, fittings and equipment - 25% pa ona reducing balance basis Computer equipment - 25% pa ona reducing balance basis

1.10 Investments

The charity’s investments comprise of bank deposits. Income from these investments is recognised when the conditions for receipt of the income are met and there is adequate certainty of receipt (see Note 1.4).

1.11 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due.

1.12 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid bank deposits.

1.13 Creditors

Creditors are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Deferred income is income which is included in the year in debtors or has been received into the bank, but which relates to a subsequent period, such as a grant relating specifically to a future period. It is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities of that period.

1.14 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, such debtors and cash and bank balances (including bank deposits held as fixed asset investments), are accounted for as per notes 1.11 and 1.12.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, which include creditors, are recognised as per note 1.13.

6. Trustees and other related parties

Except for the following, the trustees received no remuneration or benefits during the year, nor were any trustees’ expenses reimbursed.

The charity’s main insurance policy includes an element of trustee indemnity taken out for business purposes and not as a benefit to the trustees.

Due to the nature of the charity’s transactions, there are numerous transactions with other charities and organisations with which some of the trustees have an association. These are undertaken on an arm’s length basis.

For the first half of the year the Treasurer, Mr D Kay, was a minority shareholder in Beech Business Services Limited, which invoiced accounting, software subscription and related services to the value of £2,812 plus VAT during the year (2024 £2,644 plus VAT). Nothing was owing to Beech Business Services at year end. These services were provided on an arm’s jJength basis and approved by the Board of Trustees.

13. Information about restricted funds

BMBC VC Infrastructure Support is a VCSE contract focused on providing tailored development support to VSCE sector groups and organisations and delivering Bolton’s volunteering support offer.

Strategic Health Development: funding is provided through Bolton Council (Public Health) in order to promote communication and develop stronger partnership working between the voluntary and community sector in Bolton and other statutory health and social care partners.

Big Bolton Fund Investment: income donated to Bolton CVS to invest in order to produce revenue to award as grants and investment in Bolton. Big Bolton Fund Small Grants uses the income generated from the Big Bolton Fund Investment account to award as grants in Bolton.

National Lottery Unlocking Wellbeing funding is to help develop partnerships between the VCSE sector, NHS and local authorities to improve health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities and empower communities. The programme aims to improve the lives of carers aged 18 or over who live or care for someone living in Bolton. The lead partner on the programme is Bolton Carers Support.

1OGM UKSPF is a grant from the UK Social Prosperity Fund via 1OGMto build VCSE infrastructure capacity within Bolton, identifying gaps and sharing good practice with other 1OGM members.

Bolton at Home provides funding to undertake a range of projects, including building knowledge and awareness of social value, increasing access to volunteering and distributing their Community Investments Grant Programme and Tonge Big Local Investments Programme.

Bolton’s Fund Community Investments are funds which primarily come from Bolton Council’s Chief Executive’s Department and are managed by Bolton CVS to award as community grants within Bolton.

Bolton Council programmes includes funding for Family Hubs, UKSPF3, Next Steps and Refugees and Asylum Seeker Development Office.

The Hub Building Fund represents assets originally acquired by Bolton Trinity Centre via grants from Big Lottery, Neighbourhood Renewal Fund, NLDC, ERDF and The Sir James and Lady Scott Trust. The assets were transferred to Bolton CVS when Bolton Trinity Centre was dissolved some years ago. The fund balance is reduced each year by the depreciation charged on the tangible fixed assets concerned.

Transformation Fund income funded predominantly the distribution of the Health and Wellbeing Community investments and the Community Asset Navigator Programme. Remaining income has been reallocated to funds through which similar work is performed.

NHS Bolton CCG provides funding for Thrive, which is an alliance approach to improving access to early intervention and preventative support for the children and young people’s mental health service, and for an 18-month apprenticeship pilot funded through Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership’s Transformation Fund, testing a VCSE sector-led place-based health and care focused apprenticeships model.

GM Combined Authority Violence Reduction Unit funding is to deliver a project on behalf of 10GM, developing community-led approaches in six different locations across Greater Manchester.

GMCVO is funding provided for the Bolton Local Access Partnership (LAP) which provides a range of interventions including events, skills training and loca! co-ordination roles, with the aim of building a strong & sustainable local support system to underpin enterprise growth and resilience for charities and social enterprises.

Other funds include a 3 year Engagement Officer post, which was funded by Bolton and South Lancashire Community Rail Partnership and a one-off donation from Bolton Literacy some time ago to help promote literacy, numeracy and ICT skills, as well as other smaller pieces of funding for various purposes.
