Objectives and Activities
a. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Welcom8 to my first report as Chairperson of Burn18y P8ndl8 & Rossendale Council for Voluntsry Service. My
thanks go to our previous chairperson Susan Biggs for her commitment to the organisation, continuing to build
and expand the support we give and leavlng a legacy of an exciting and forward-thinking organisatlon.
The past year has continued to be dominated by uncertalntles in the external environment in which we operate
and as always, the organisation (thanks to an amazing stsff team and brilliant volunteers> continued lo be
motivated in their roles of helping others. They continue to respond swiftly and effectively in response to the
increasing demand. We are witnessing this patlem of increased demand and reduced funding affecting Capacity
across the sector, Trustees made the difficult decision to continue lo deliver services using our reseNes. This
situation is kept under constant review.
Over the last few years, we have seen the need to work differently whilst balancing finance. responding, and
supporting the many 100's of, in the main smaller volunteer led organisations that rely on us to help them help
others.
As trustees we value our staff and ensure that they and our volunteers have much needed time to recharge their
batteries.
There is more information in our monthly. quarterly and Annual Impact Reports about exactly what was done and
how during the year. The eslablished relationships and partnerships slood us in good stead, and we have
continued to expand our ne￿orkS responding to new issues and helping to find immediate solutions.
Trustees played an active role in supporting our Chief Officer. her senior team the staff and volunteers
throughout.
Everyone plays a crucial part in ensuring BPRCVS can continue the work it began in 1935. Our Mission has
never changed, and we continue to look for opportunities that helps people to help others. The voluntary,
community and faith sector in all its many guises and at all levels from the national to the small volunteer led
loGal group play a vital part in supporting others. On a daily basis we see anij hear stories that make us proud to
be involved and play our part in enabling others to do what they do so brilliantly well.
As in recent years the Trustees. Report provides a great deal of infomiation regarding the Charitls operation in
the year under review and to offer thoughts on future activities. CVS slaff and our accountants and auditor have
again assisted a great deal to ensure that the presenlation of the financial details comply with relevant
accounting requirements. These reflect a true state of Ihe affairs of the charity and enable comparison with
previous yearfs figures.
During the year we met all the usual conditions and criteria from our Servi￿ level and grant Agreements and
increased requirements for monitoring. It is pleasing to note that once again all our funders and partners have
Page 2

TRUSTEES. REPORT {continued}
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
been content with the infomiation that we provided when they formally reviewed this in discussions with us. They
were accepting of the challenges we faced in balancing essential delivery against reporting deadlines.
In the year under review. we have continued to consider staffing because of the funding in place. As mentioned
earlier trustees have committed to using some reserves - in line with our policies - to ensure that we have staff
in place to deliver projects. This was even more important as the organisation continued to respond to ever
increasing demand. However, the trustees are mindful of the fact that we cannot always have reserves available
and ensuring funding to support our activities is crucial.
I would like lo conclude this report by extending thanks to a number of people and organisations. No business is
effective withoul a leader, and we have a Chief Officer who is preDared lo deal with the challenges that inevitably
occur. Christine has been ably supported by her senior team.
My Ihanks also go to the following organisations who have supported us during the year. Our accountants CW
AcGounting, our auditors Smith and Goulding. our solicitors Southerns and our key funders and partners. Burnley
Borough Council, Pendle Borough Council and Rossendale Borough Council, Lancashire County Council. l also
thank The Lancashire and South Cumbria integrated care board, the Primary Care Ne￿OrkS, Public Health.
Lancashire Association of CVS, Little Green Bus (consortium lead for Lancashire Community Transport) Big
Lottery -Reaching Communities. Local trust and Gannow Big Local. Eric Wright Trust, Community CVS. We
have lots of funders and receive donations from many other organisations and individuals to provide resource for
our programmes of work. My thanks go to all of them. Without their support and belief in our organisation to
support others it would not be possible for us to do eve￿hing that we do.
Support has also come from many other organisations with donations lo our Children and Young People
departmenl. Communicars and to our food share operating from our Gannow building. This additional funding
provides these projects with the "extras" which make all the difference to people's lives.
Finally, l extend my appreciation to everyone involved with BPRCVS, in particular staff and Volunteers and my
fellow trustees.
Margaret Lishman
Chair.

a. REVIEW OF ACTMTIES
.Achievements and Perfonnance year ending 31 st March 2024
During the financial year there continued to be a stale of uncertainty as Covid restrictions eased. The impact of
th8 rises of Cost of Living impacted on many organisations and despite rising costs for CVS we maintained
existing prices for our tenant groups. Sadly we saw a long established tenant move on to new premises and
trustees continue to monitor the impact of empty rooms, increasing costs and essential malntenance.
We responded to ever increasing demands and needs for our services from VCF organisations and people
affected by the changing environment and the impact of the rising cost of living.
We are grateful for the support we received in retum from our stakeholders and funders including local councils
and health services which enabled us to act quickly and proactively to help those most in need. This was not
without its challenges and the successful delivery is testament to the dedication and commitment of everyone
involved.
We maintsined all our proj8Ct activity and trustees committed to supporting those where funding doesn't cover
full costs. We remain fortunate in having the ability to bring additional benefits to projects from our wid8 range of
activities and a reserves poliw which enables some flexibility

b. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
Under the ArtiGles of Association, CVS has the power to make any investment which the ExeGutive Committee
Members see fit. The Committee has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and has found
that specialised unit trusts, designed for the charity seclor. meet their requirements elhically and on a long term
view to generate both income and capital growih.
The Executive Committee consider the return on inveslment to be satisfactory given the difficult current
economic market. The rate of interest achieved on bank deposits ranged from approximately 0.7501. to 1.65Q
which is poor but the best that Can be obtained given the currenl market rates. The charity will continue to
actively look to achieve the best possible return on its inveslments.
Financial revlew
. GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries. the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt
the going wncem basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going
concern basis can be found in the Arxounting Policies.
b. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Page 5

BURNLEY, PENDLE & ROSSENDALE COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
(A Company Ilmited by guarantee)
TRUSTEES. REPORT Iconllnued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces. the establishment of policies,
systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in Ihe annual review: and the implementation of
procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity- A key element in the
managemenl of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due. regular
liaison with the bank. and active management of trade debtors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient
working capital by the charity.
Attention has also been focused on non-financial risks arising from fire. health and safety of staff. volunteers and
the public. These risks are managed by ensuring relevant accreditation is up to dale. having robust policies and
procedures in place. and regular awareness training for staff.
Significant Events
Bumley Pendle & Rossendale Council for Voluniary Service adopted and approved a business continuity plan
which is reviewed and amended on an annual basis.
The purpose of this business continuity plan is to prepare Bumley. Pendle & Rossendale Council for Voluntary
Service in the event of extended service outsges caused by factors beyond our control (e.g.. natural disasters,
man-made events), and to restore services to the widesl extent possible in a minimum time frarne. All Burnley,
Pendle & Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service sites are expected to implement preventive measures
whenever possible to minimize operational disruptions and to recover as rapidly as possible when an incident
occurs.
The plan identifies vulnerabilities and recommends necessary measures to prevent extended communi¢alions
service outsges. It is a plan that encompasses all Bumley. Pendle & Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service
outreach sites and operations facililies.
This plan enabled CVS to react quickly, effectively and efficiently over the 12-month period of this report as the
rise in the cost of living crisls Impacted on people and the sector as a whol8 whilst many were still being affected
by the COVID pandemic.
The plan will b8 reviewed following the AGM and updated with leamlng.
¢. RESERVES POLICY
The ExeGUtive Committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds nol Committed or invested in
fixed assets ("the free reserves") held by CVS should be approximately six months of total income. At this level.
the Executive Committee feels that ihey w￿uld be able to continue the current activities of CVS in the event of a
short-term unexpected drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be
replaced or activities changed were Ihis to happen.
The Trustees have considered the need for the Charity to sustain a level of reserves commensurate with its
needs. In doing so. the Truste8s have reflected that: _
- funding is not always clear or confirmed at the start of any financial year; funding is often paid in arrears" the
Charity has an obligation to pay ils bills expeditiously some staff contracts will be fixed temi. limited lo specific
projects or permanent and. in the light of changing legislation. will attract redundancy pay entitlement.
The Trustees recognise that the charity is now al that stste and will continue to monitor both the level and
impact, The trustees are investing the free reserves to support the charity's activities.

work we have performed, we conclude that there is 8 material misstatement of this olher information, we are
required to report Ihat fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
MAThERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion-
the information given in the Truslees. report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial
statemenls," or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the a¢¢ounting records and retums; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we requlre for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement. the Trustees (who are also the directors of the
haritable company 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
misststement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable companys ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going conc8rn and using the going
concem basis of accounting unless the Trustees elther intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so.
AUDITORS. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 Auditors. report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always delect 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 basi5 of these finanGial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial sialements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibililies. This description forms part of our
Auditors, report.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
proc8dur8s in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
Irregularities including fraud. Our approach to Identi￿ng and assessing the risks of material misstatement In
Page 12

BURNLEY, PENDLE & ROSSENDALE COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
(A company Ilmlt•d by guaranteo)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BURNLEY, PENDLE & ROSSENDALE
COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. was as follows:
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement leam collectively had the appropriate competence,
capabilities and skills to idenlify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations-
we idenlified the laws and regulations applicable to the charitable Company through discussions with trustees
and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of Ihe charity seclor:
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the
financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Companies Act 2006. taxation legislation and
data protection, employment. environmental and heatth and safety legislation-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries
of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
identified laws and regulations were communicaled within the audit leam regularly and the t8am remained alert
to instsnc8s of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company s financial statement5 to material misstatement,including
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur. by:
making enquirles of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud. their
knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud., and considering the Internal controls in place to mitigate risks
of fraud and non-compllance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we:
perfomied ana1yiical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounling 8Stimates were indicative
or potential bias.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non<ompliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures
which included, but were not limiled to,.
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.,
- reading th8 rninules of meetings of those charged with govemance,.
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. and
reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the companrfs legal advisors.
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 non-compliance.
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non- Complian￿ 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.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the
Charities (Accounts and Reports} Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might stale
lo the charitable companls Irustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Audilors, reporl and for
no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not a¢￿p1 or assume responsibility to anyone
other than the charitable company and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report. or for the
opinions we have formed.

settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by
activity. The costs of each activty are made up of the totsl of direct costs and shared costs.
including sUPPOrt costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single
activity are allocated directly to that activty. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity

activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the
basis of time spent. and depreciation Charges allocated on the portion of the 8ssefs use.

fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a
commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

losses are recognised in the Statement of financial aGlivities incorporating income and expenditure
account.
