VOLUNTARY ACTION NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE LIMITED Company No.. 3346067 Charity No: 1063019 Report of the Board of Trustees (incorporating the Director's Report) For the year ended 31 March 2024 Financial Review Reserves olic The Executive Committee regularly review the Reserves policy of the charity to ensure it meets the needs of the Charity, A minimum requirement of the reserves policy is that at least six months, core running costs and the value of any core redundancy is retained in the unrestricted designated fund to ensure a sufficient buffer to enable effective financial decision-making, rather than short term decisions and to ensure effective financial stewardship of the Charity. Additional funds may be maintained as part of this reserve to support projects where funding is received in arrears, unrestricted contracted projects or it is decided to be financially prudent by the Executive Committee. General Funds are to be retained and reinvested in accordance with the Company's Memorandum of Association and the Charity's objectives contained therein. Desi nated Fund- Core Functions The costs in respect of the core functions in the year under review were £40,248. Desi nated Fund- Pro ert In April 2011 the Company purchased the property it occupies and holds funds in a Property fund to cover the cost5 of improving and maintaining the property. This designated reserve is £10,000.00. During the year, the value of the property was also added into this designated fund as it provides the differentiation between an asset and a more liquid fund when people are looking at the unrestricted fund balance. Investment Polic At the beginning of the year the company held investments with the Charity Aid Foundation Bank to produce income and capital growth in a manner that is consistent with the Company's stated charitable objectives and ethical standpoint. This fund ceased operation and due to the work around the merger this has been returned to the company and currently sits within the VANL bank account. A review of the investment strategy will be undertaken once the merger has been completed. 19 | PL1g)e

VOLUNTARY ACTION NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE LIMITED Company No: 3346067 Charity No: 1063019 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting Policies Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities" IFRS1021 (effective January 20191 and other applicable accounting standards have been implemented wherever possible, having regard to the overriding requirement that the accounts should comply with the Companies Act 2006. The company has chosen not to adopt Financial Reporting Standard 102 in its treatment of the redundancy provision shown in Note 14. Adherence to FRS 102 would have resulted in no provision being made in the financial statements and no disclosure being made. As a result of non-adoption of FRS 102 the Balance Sheet total is understated by £012023., £7,586) and the Net Movement of Funds as reported in the Statement of Financial Activities is understated by £012023: £1,070). In addition, grants and contracts received of a revenue nature are accounted for on the accruals basis and credited to Incoming Resources in the Statement of Financial Activities when the company is legally entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and the grant relates to the relevant time period. Therefore, grants received in advance may be deferred to future time periods. This is a departure from the Charities SORP {FRS1021 in order to ensure that the accounts of the Charity provide a "True and Fair" view. The Trustees considered the requirement to recognise income when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the itemlsl of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. Due to some grants/contracts being received in advance this would distort the Net Surplus/{Deficitl figures which could jeopardise the Charity's position when applying for contracts.

VOLUNTARY ACTION NORTH LtNCOLNSHIRE LIMITED Company No: J346067 Charity No: 1063019 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure has been classified under heading5 that aggregate costs related to the category. All expenditure undertaken is in line with our charitable and is undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and the associated support costs. The Charity is not VAT registered and irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation on other assets is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life (except as detailed below} as follows.. Land and Buildings Valued at Market Value Computer Equipment 339A on the straight-line basis Office Equipment 25% on the straight-line basis Motor Vehicle 330A on the straight-line basis Fund accountlng Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors. Restricted funds are accounted for separately to each other and to the core funding of the company. General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the directors for particular purposes.

Going Concern. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Income and Expenditure Account The company is a registered charity and so achievements cannot be measured by normal commercial criteria. Accordingly, the Directors consider that it would be inappropriate to present a Profit and Loss Account in one of the formats set out in the Companies Act 2006. Therefore, as permitted by the Companies Act, in order to reflect the special nature of the company's activities, the Directors are of the opinion that it would be more appropriate to present an Income and Expenditure Account. 281 P
