RUSHMOOR VOLUNTARY SERVICES
REPORT OF THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Report of the Chair of the Board of Trustees
l am pleased to present our Annual Report, which summarises RVS'S activities,
achievements and impact during the year.
Despite the many financial and other challenges we have faced, RVS continued to
support and encourage the voluntary sector locally and to support those in our
community who are less able to look after themselves. Over the year we have seen
the strength of our trustees, volunteers, staff, partners and supporters shine through,
enabling us to continue delivering key services and make a meaningful difference in
the lives of those we serve.
In order to protect services, the Trustee Board approved a deficit budget for the year,
balanced by the prudent use of reserves.
We have also sought to deepen our partnerships, strengthen our governance and
manage our resources responsibly to ensure we can deliver lasting value for those
who depend on us.
The achievements highlighted in this report are a testament, not only to the impact of
our services, but also to the strong sense of purpose and collaboration that underpins
all that we do. These are set out in more detail in the Trustee and Chief Executive's
reports and please make contact if you require any further information or clarification.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to maintaining and strengthening our
engagement with the communities we serve and although the challenges we face are
significant, with the continued dedication of our team, l am confident that we can build
on the progress outlined in this report.
l extend my sincere thanks to all who have contributed to our work over the past year
and I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.

RUSHMOOR VOLUNTARY SERVICES
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees, who are also the Directors of Rushmoor Voluntary Services ("the
Charity") for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report together
with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 st March 2025. The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies
set out in note 1 of the accounts and comply with the Charity's governing document,
the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of 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).
Objectives and Activities
The purposes of the Charity are:
To promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community in
Hampshire and in particular the local government district and Borough of
Rushmoor.
To promote and organise co-operation in the achievement of the above
purposes by bringing together representatives of the relevant voluntary
organisations and statutory authorities.
We have engaged in a wide variety of activities for the benefit of the local community,
including:
Provision of community transport services across Rushmoor and Fleet
A Home Help service to approximately 150 households in Rushmoor and Hart.
Our Blooming Marvellous activity, providing support to volunteers living with
mental ill health
Training services
Volunteer recruitment and support
Providing grants to various organisations we believe are worthy of financial
support and help
We have promoted co-operation between local charities and public bodies by:
Our quarterly Volunteer Sector Forum meetings, where representatives of local
charities and of local government come together
Our community development work helping the creation of new charities to
address community needs
Provision of information to our 329 member organisations
Far more information, including details of our specific achievements under each
heading, is contained in the Chief Executive's Report.
We have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit
when reviewing aims and objectives and in planning these activities. We believe that
the various activities listed above mean that the charity fully meets the "Public Benefit"
requirements of the Charity Commission.

RUSHMOOR VOLUNTARY SERVICES
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Financial Review & Reserves Policy
For the year ended 31 March 2025 the Charity recorded a deficit of £32,864 before
investment gains of £7,056. This compares to a deficit of £54,490 before investment
gains of £8,715 for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Unrestricted Income fell below Expenditure by £15,845 (before Investment gains). We
have suffered from the overall financial climate, with local councils as well as
individuals feeling the effects of high inflation levels. We also recorded a significant
deficit on Restricted Funds, of £17,019. We continue to be grateful for the support we
have received from Hampshire County Council, Rushmoor Borough Council, and a
number of other organisations.
In spite of these losses, the financial position of the charity remains healthy, with net
current assets of £324,959 and total reserves of £509,819. These Reserves fall under
3 headings:
Restricted Reserves, which can only be used for specific activities. At 31
March 2025 these amounted to £134,476.
Designated Reserves, which we have chosen to allocate to cater for specific
risks or activities. At 31 March 2025 these amounted to £181,134.
General Reserves which are held to provide cover for unexpected changes
in income and expenditure to allow us time to adjust our cost base and to
continue activities. At 31 March 2025 these amounted to £194,209.
The Trustees conduct an annual review of the various risks facing the Charity and set
aside Designated Reserves to ensure that these risks are catered for, as required by
the latest guidance from the Charity Commission. In addition, we retain General
Reserves to allow us to deal with other unforeseen contingencies as they arise. The
Charity's reserve policy is to hold General Reserves amounting to approximately 3
months, total expenditure. This reflects the circumstances the Charity is currently
operating in, but the Trustees will also review this level on an annual basis as
circumstances change. As at 31 March 2025, General Reserves amounted to 3.4
months, total expenditure.
Sources of Funds
The Charity's principal sources of funds are local authority contracts and grants from
various bodies, including local authorities. The Charity also generates a considerable
amount of income from its Home Help and Community Transport activities.
Specifically, the following agreements which provide funds for the Charity's core and
transport activities existed during the course of the year:
Core Council of Voluntary Service functions
Rushmoor Borough Council
and Community First
Wessex/HCC
Hampshire County Council
Hampshire County Council
Hampshire County Council
Rushmoor Connect
Fleet Connect
Connect Minibus Hire

RUSHMOOR VOLUNTARY SERVICES
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The following agreements have provided funds for other activities:
Blooming Marvellous
Broadhurst Welcome
Home Community Ltd.
Positive Action Hampshire
Hants CC Get Going
Again Fund
HIV Advice & Assistance
Green Social Prescribing
Investment Powers and Policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to
make any investment which the Trustees see fit. The current policy is to invest up to
50% of core funds in a range of investment funds, and the remainder in deposit
accounts of varying maturities with several different banks.
Risk Management
As required by the Charity Commission, we regularly undertake reviews of the
significant risks to ensure the appropriate mitigation policies exist. A formal Risk
Management document is reviewed annually and approved by the Board.
The key risk to the Charity has been identified as the inability to sustain or replace
current grant funding from local authorities. In the event that funding will not be
forthcoming in the future, designated reserves have been set aside to allow us to
continue for a limited period to enable it to find additional funding and to provide for
staff redundancy costs. A number of lower priority risks have been identified and
procedures have been implemented which minimise all identified risks.
Future Plans
Whilst such a significant proportion of our grant and contract income remains uncertain
pending the outcome of Hampshire County Council's Future Services Consultation, it
is difficult to set out a clear vision. In addition, the impact of the Government's Local
Government Re-organisation policy is unclear, because the future structure has not
yet been agreed. Until these issues are resolved it is difficult for us to plan ahead with
any confidence, but we are already exploring possible alternative sources of income.
We intend to remain agile and to proactively seek opportunities to ensure sustainability
for the organisation and for our support to our community.
Structure, Governance and Management
Rushmoor Voluntary Services, a company limited by guarantee, is registered in
England & Wales (No. 03238444) and operates from its registered office at The Civic

committees are based on delegated decision-making powers handed down by the
main Board.
Board members are drawn from the local community and have a variety of skills and
experience including Accounting and Finance, Information Technology, Education,
Human Resources, Disability and Social Welfare. The Chief Executive is not a director
but is a permanent non-voting member of the Board. The Board currently meets every
two months.

accounts, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and

to ensure that the financial statements comply with the SORP and the Companies Act
2006. They have a general responsibility for taking reasonable steps to safeguard the

16 PURPOSES OF FUNDS
The Restricted Reserves are the balances on funds that arise from grant or contract income received for specific projects which are
ongoing.
Designated Reserves are amounts that have been set aside by the Trustees from the General Reserves of the Charity to fund specific
projects or activities. The Trustees have reviewed the levels of all Designated Reserves, and have concluded that certain Reserves are
either no longer required or are currently excessive:
The Charity Fund is no longer required because donations to individuals are small and are typically made out of General Reserves
or out of the Legacy Fund.
The Employment Contingency and General Contingency Reserves are to cover costs arising in the event that the charity is forced
to close.
The Bus Replacement Reserve is being built up to replace buses that have reached the end of their useful lives, and to provide
funds for the full acquisition of part-owned buses if this should prove necessary.
The Bus Depreciation Reserve covers the cost of future depreciation of our existing buses as their market value is uncertain.
The Volunteer Centre and Blooming Marvellous project reserves are to cover shortfalls in funding in the coming year.
The Frank Rust Memorial Reserve is to fund grants to commemorate a former Trustee and Chair of the Charity.
