TRUSTEES' REPORT
Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, and the Statement of Recommended Practice - 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).
Statement of Trustees responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Swansea Council for Voluntary Service for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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 In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and believe Swansea Council For Voluntary Service's (SCVS) achievements for the year against its aims and objectives support this.
Our Mission Statement
Swansea Council for Voluntary Service exists to promote, support and develop the Third Sector to maximise its potential for:
-
engaging, involving and empowering the public as active citizens;
-
contributing to policies and strategies which shape the design and implementation of public services and;

SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
TRUSTEES' REPORT
4. Future Plans (cont.)
The pandemic has shown us the strength of ‘hyper local’ solutions to common problems, towards the end of the financial year we received confirmation of funding to further embed asset based work across GP Clusters in Swansea, meaning that we have officers working on a local ‘patch’ basis. We will continue to develop and strengthen our local services over the coming years.
Aligned with this approach and following a short term pilot, we will continue work to progress the development of ‘micro enterprise’ solutions to low level care and support needs within our communities.
The coming years will be a time to rebuild our communities and we will be working to look at what the pandemic experience means in terms of community resilience, community wellbeing and how we can embed the upswell of interest in volunteering that the pandemic demonstrated into all aspects of our work.
Along with all other organisations we will need to focus on providing Covid safe services and working conditions for some time to come. This will involve also looking at our premises requirements and our Board will be exploring these issues over the coming months.
We will continue to have a focus on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion- within our organisation and across our services and learning from the inequalities that the pandemic has highlighted across our communities.
Finally, our organisation will need a strong focus on securing our financial future, seeking new sources of funding and maximising the benefits arising from our current assets.
5. Financial Review
The total income of £2,485,896 (2021: £2,608,839) was spent on charitable activity expenditure totalling £2,419,776 (2021: £2,328,088) and other costs of £0 (2021: £0).
The Statement of Financial Activities reflects the income and expenditure incurred by Swansea Council for Voluntary Service in carrying out its role in respect of its objectives. The restricted funds at 31 March 2021 were £759,636 (2021: £874,440), designated funds were £274,517 (2021: £253,797), and unrestricted funds were £913,250 (2021: £753,046).
The trustees are pleased with the performance and progress made during the financial period, and consider the state of the charitable company’s affairs to be satisfactory.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources are by way of grant income from City and County of Swansea, Welsh Government, WCVA, SBUHB, the West Glamorgan RPB and Big Lottery Fund.
Investment policy
When available, surplus cash is invested in short-term interest bearing accounts when available in order to maximise income but retain accessibility.

SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
TRUSTEES' REPORT
5. Financial Review (cont.)
Reserves policy
The charity’s reserve policy is set out in Note 1k. During the year the trustees have reviewed the unrestricted reserves held, and the adequacy of those reserves. At the year end the trustees calculated provisions of £1,676,247 (2021: £1,655,811) which included provisions for building maintenance, capital equipment, staff redundancy pay, unfunded future staff costs and at risk work, litigation risk, disaster recovery and business continuity. The trustees work towards unrestricted reserves to meet these provisions. Although there is a shortfall of £488,480 (2021: £648,969) the trustees consider there to be adequate unrestricted reserves held by the charity.
Financial Statements
The company is a registered charity and so achievements cannot be measured by normal commercial criteria. Accordingly, the trustees 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, a Statement of Financial Activities has been presented.
Charitable status
The company is a registered charity (number 1063242) and as such is not subject to United Kingdom taxation.
Risk management in the company
A key element in the care and diligence expected of the charitable company and therefore one of the main responsibilities of the trustees is to assess the risks affecting the company as carefully and comprehensively as possible. This obligation includes careful consideration and assessment of risks affecting the company’s assets and its financial position.
The director has in place a risk management system to permanently cover significant risks (ensuring suitable assessment of the risks), providing reports to the trustees as appropriate, in order to ensure that risks are taken into account in the context of all relevant decisions. Factors carefully examined and assessed include for example the impact of the timing of grants which are expected to be provided to the company in future periods and the effect this is likely to have on the company’s budgets and cash flow forecasts.

SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS TRUSTEES OF SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustee's Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable 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 the 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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating 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 RESPONSIBITLIES FOR THE AUDIT OF 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 a Report of Independent Auditors 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
EXTENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
We discussed our audit independence complying with the Revised Ethical Standard 2019 with the engagement team members whilst planning the audit and continually monitored our independence throughout the process.

SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS TRUSTEES OF SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: -enquiring of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charities' policies and procedures relating to:
-identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual. suspected or alleged fraud;
-the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-discussing among the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the Financial Statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified potential for fraud in the following areas;
-Management override of controls
-obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charityy operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the Financial Statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and relevant tax legislation.
Audit response to risk identified
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: -reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations;
-enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with HMRC; and
-in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
-assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
b) Income
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when SCVS is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Income from room hire is recognised when the hire takes place. Income from office space rental is recognised in the period to which it relates. Rent is charged In accordance with the terms of the rental agreement.
Donations and similar incoming resources represent monies received from charitable donations and gifts. These are recognised in the SOFA upon receipt.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Grants received for a specific purpose are treated as restricted funds.
c) Interest Receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by SCVS. This is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
d) Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing SCVS to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.
All costs allocated between expenditure categories are on a basis designed to reflect their resource usage. For some costs this means direct allocation to activities, other costs are apportioned, e.g. by staff time spent on the activity, or another equitable usage measure. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred in the delivery of SCVS' activities. This includes costs directly attributable and indirect support costs. Governance costs include those associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements of SCVS.
SCVS initially identifies the costs of its support functions. Support functions include back office services such as finance, personnel, payroll and governance which support SCVS' activities.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
e) Taxation
SCVS is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
f) Fixed assets
Items of equipment & computer software costing over £1,000 are capitalised to the balance sheet as fixed assets. These are then depreciated in accordance with the rates set out below. All assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Buildings - 2% on cost Equipment - No depreciation in year of purchase then 33.3% on cost Computer Software - No depreciation in year of purchase then 33.3% on cost
The charity performs impairment testing where there are any indicators of impairment. Impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable value of the asset. If incurred, impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement.
g) Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discount due.
h) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less.
0 Investments
Investment policy - when available, surplus cash is invested on a short-term notice deposit account, in order to maximise income but retain accessibility.
j) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where SCVS 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 to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
k) Reserves
SCVS' Board of Trustees have approved a formal Reserves Policy which states:
SCVS' reserves appear on its balance sheet and show how all of SCVS’ assets (and liabilities) have been funded. These reserves are made up of:
-
i) Restricted Reserves which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions and allocations imposed by the donor, and are not covered by this policy.
-
ii) Designated Reserves which comprises two funds. The first is the sum required to fund SCVS’ capital equipment that is to be written off over its life in accordance with SCVS’ depreciation policy, and the second is a designated provision for SCVS’ potential redundancy pay liabilities.

k) Reserves (cont.)
- iii) Unrestricted Reserves which are held in accordance with this policy.
Unrestricted Reserves are required to bridge SCVS’ cash flow fluctuations and any funding shortfalls. In arriving at the level of unrestricted reserves required, the Board of Trustees will:
-
i) Make adequate provision for any forecast income shortfalls.
-
ii) Make adequate provision to maintain services during funding gaps.
-
iii) Make adequate provision for any planned capital or revenue expenditure where a funding source has not been identified.
-
iv) At project closures, make adequate provision for transitional services to ensure support for service users.
-
v) Regularly review the risk register to monitor and cost any foreseeable financial risks.
-
vi) Aim to include an adequate provision to ensure continuity of SCVS’ core operations during any period of difficulty, for a period of 3 to 9 months.
The levels of unrestricted reserves are reported within the management accounts to each quarterly meeting of the Board of Trustees. This is reviewed against the provision requirements above as part of the risk register review. This policy is reviewed annually.
l) Pension Scheme
The company contributes to a defined contribution automatic enrolment workplace pension scheme. Contributions payable to the pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
m) Trustees Expenses
- The company's trustees are unpaid but are able to claim reimbursement of travel and subsistence costs incurred whilst attending meetings or events on behalf of SCVS.
n) Grants Paid
The company administers a number of different grant funds on behalf of funding bodies. These are all managed in accordance with the funders' conditions, and are awarded by funding panels.
o) Going Concern
The Trustees consider that there is no material uncertainty about SCVS' ability to continue as a going concern.
p) Legal status of the charity
SCVS is a charity and a company limited by guarantee. In the event of SCVS being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
q) Significant management judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results in the future may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Estimation Uncertainty
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
Bad and Doubtful Debts
Provision is made against grant income and other income to the extent that they are consider by management not to be recoverable at their full value. The level of provision is based on historical experience and future expectations.
