ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORML ANCE
Charitsble activities
Our work programme in 2024 continues to be direcled by activities that wntribule towards the achievement of our three
strategic aims identified by CCB'S staff team and trustee& and contained within our strategic plan:
- Reducing poverty & rural disadvant￿¢
Improving rural health & wellbeing
Increasing digital inclusion & social connectethiess
These aims serve as the cornerstone of our business development work and represent our c¢)mmitment to our beneficiaries
acr055 Berkshire. Details of the progress we have made towards achieving these aims can be found in our Impact Report, which
also describes our ongoing work to improve and expand the supp)rt we offer. The report can be found on our website
ww¥.ccberks.org.uk
Summer 2024 ha8 seen an impn)vem¢ni to the situation regarding interest rates and the wst of living crisis. Media reports
suggest th￿ interest rates returning to re&sonable le￿elS and an improvement to the UK'S economic perfomance mean (hat the
risis is over. However, there is much evidence to counter this assertion. Prices may not be rising as fast a5 they were over the
last l ? months, but they remain significantly higher than they were. Average incomes may be rising, bul it may be some time
before people begin to feel ￿latiVelY better off. Interest rates remain high, and a5 we hear hints of cuts lo the Bank of England
b&8e rate, savings rates seem more likely than mortg4ue rates to come down.
Too often service delivery 15 focused on areas where w)pulaiion is at its m05t dense. People living in the more sparsely
populated areas of Berkshire. particularly those without their oivn transpor¢ face added costs irk both time and money to access
basic services (leisure, retail, health, employment etc.) Ihat people ID urban areas take for granted.
Older people and the young in particular will ¢oniinue to face added isolation and social deprivation unless rnore service
providers recognise the benefits of outreach setvice delivery models: taking setvices out into the community and utilising the
network of village halls for example. Éo acc£sS Customers and service users where they live.
Approximately 100.000 people in Berkshire live in a rural communitv. But we get the impression that all often the needs of
people who live and work in the countryside in Berkshire and beyond are overlwked.
Improving the range of services delivered on an outreach IKsis in rural communities is one way of improving this situation.
Improving access to services helps to reduce the need to travel. saving rural residents b)th time and money. We advocate for
greater use of village halls and other community. buildings by service provide￿ and will work with local policy makers to
include outr¢￿￿ delivery &8 part of their service delivery strategie5.
Towards the end of 202J. we gained access Èo new funding from Defra via our national ix)dy ACRE. lo embark on a new Rurnl
Housing Enabler project. Similar to a project delivered by the eharity between 2006 and 2018. this new project will support
rural communities to develop an ¢vidence-ba5e of need for affordable housing among people with a local connection to the
community, and where Such need exists. 5UPI)ort the identification of poterktial sites where small-scale rnral exception
developments could lake place. Already, two housing needs surveys have been carried OUL with thffe more in development.
Our 21st Century Ha]Is projecL funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. continues apa¢e. In its second year. the
project supports village hall man￿ement committees to improve and develop their facilities so they are more energy efficient
and environmentally friendly, financially sustainable and better Connected with their comniunilies.
Trustees of the c.harity have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and are content that
decisions made by them comply with these requirements. Further infonnation on the work of ihe charity during the year can be
found in our Impact ReporL published separntely.
Fundraising activities
CCB doesn't employ professional fundraiser& or invest money in fdising donalions from the general public. Our fvndraising
activities focus on approaching grant funders and charttable trusts, selling membetship services to some of our beneficiaries and
entering into Service Level AgreemenW mainly with public sector iM)dies. to deliver services on their behalf.
In September 2022 we were awarded a significant grant by the National Lottery Community Fund which will provide 5-yvdr
nding to extend our work with village halls. and provides us with much needed core funding.

The overall surplus for the year as shown on the 5tstemenl of financial activiiies w&% £18.905 1?O?J £l,J?21. The net surplus

The notes to the financial Statements summartse Ihe yeals movements on each fijnd. Restricted funds relate to specifically
runded pn)jecls for which income and expenditure balance over the period of their operation. However. receipts and pajments

3. Reserves Policy: describing the ke) financial risks the charity. faces w'ith appropriate mitigating actions. including the sums
held in reserve lo enable aciions to be taken if required. These l(x)Is are regularly updated and reviewed by the Board at their
meetings during the year.
Reserves policy
The policy of CCB is to keep sufficient unrestricted reserves to allow the charity to continue to operate thmuuh periods of
income uncertainty, to meet leoal requirements and io cover ¢osts relatino to a lon(per-term re-organisation in the event of a
prolono
.ed downturn in income.
Reserves are required only to cover unforeseen operational risks such as stsff illness and short-lerm fvnding gaps. This will
facilitate continuity of delivery ivhile grants are being renewed and aliernative5 sought. In addition to this operational reserve. a
small sum is required to cover unforeseen legal or accountancy costs and funds to ¢over otTice Irase liabilities. The trustees
consider thw target reserves should be £41 ?14 to cover these risks.
In order to plan for the future and prepare for an end io C.CB's current N'ational Lottery grdnt in September 2027. trustees have
set aside a designated fund of £?? 2)J for new proje¢t developtnent. This sum has been designaied for the development of
significant new areas of work" and is noi to be used to fund the current Iv0￿ programme. All existing areas of work require
ongoing fundrnising to ensure continued deliver)..
Current reserves of £73,433 meet these targets. This ￿lleY is fomially reviewed by Trustees on an annual basis.
FUTLIRE PLANS
In our Impact Report, published separa(ely. we sei out a series of goals for the coming year. Given our sound financial footing.
we plan to invest resources to generaie additional funds and free up our specialist team to increase Iheir frontline worL further
benefitling our communities. We are particularly keen to elpand on the following:
l. The environmental and energ) perfomiance agenda throuJ(r the ￿MmunIt￿. buildings work
2. The'activalinir village halls, work. which provides muliiple benefits across rural health and wellbeing
3. Developing new partnerships to increase outreach 5etvice provision in rural communities
