TRUSTEES' REPORT

Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 March 2024

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

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:

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:

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.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

SCVS Organisational Structure and Governance arrangements (cont)

Trustees of the organisation are elected by our membership with nominations received from member organisations. Trustees may also be co opted as outlines in our Articles of Association which also provides the framework for the period of office for Trustees.

New Trustees are provided with a full induction which covers an introduction to the organisation as well as the role and responsibilities of Trustees. In addition to induction training, Trustees have access to ongoing learning and development opportunities with needs identified via a skills audit and via the Trustee appraisal process. During the period Trustees also attended a range of governance training and events.

Unfortunately during the year our longstanding Chair, Alun Evans died. We pay tribute to Alun who had been involved with SCVS since 1998 and was a passionate advocate for the voluntary sector.

SCVS Activities

Our services fall into three main categories-

  1. Our ‘core’ services supporting the voluntary sector

  2. Our volunteer involving projects

  3. Community development, community signposting, social prescribing and health related issues

1. Core services provided by SCVS

Our core services are funded in part via Welsh Government as part of TSSW (Third Sector Support Wales) - the partnership of CVCs and WCVA offering infrastructure support across Wales.

We also have a contract on behalf of Swansea Council delivering support to local voluntary community and other 3[rd] sector organisations and we receive funding from Swansea Bay University Health Board.

SCVS provides a range of community development and business support services to groups operating within the county. These core services include good governance support, funding advice, support with all aspects of volunteer involvement, a training programme to support the learning needs of local groups and organisations and support for organisations to engage with and influence policy and other strategic decisions.

SCVS manages a number of grant funds on behalf of others, enabling 3rd sector groups and organisations to lever additional funding.

SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE

TRUSTEES' REPORT

2. Volunteer involving projects

SCVS runs a number of volunteering projects, supporting a range of community members, services are delivered by volunteers who are managed by volunteering development officers.

Our projects include:

Mental Health and Wellbeing - supporting people who have current and enduring mental health needs in both community and hospital settings.

Transcend - volunteers on this project are recruited to provide peer support, as people who are progressing on a mental health recovery journey and are matched with those at the start of their own journey.

Interact - provides befriending support to community members and those referred by social services.

Wassup - provides support to looked after children.

Better Welcome to Swansea - is a project in partnership with Swansea City of Sanctuary and recruits volunteers to support newly arrived sanctuary seekers, supporting people to orientate within their new home location and to integrate into local communities.

3. Community development, community signposting, social prescribing and health related services.

‘Our Neighbourhood’ and social prescribing services. Both focus on a strengths and asset focussed approach, on a local geographic footprint, aligned with that of the GP Clusters.

ONA (Our neighbourhood) development officers provide development support to bring together local people to make changes in their own communities and to link people with others, recruiting volunteers and supporting the development of low level services.

Social prescribers work alongside local GP practices, receiving referrals for low level emotional wellbeing support and enabling those referred to access local support within communities.

Penderi Young People’s Project offers support to those referred by GP’s into the service as a social prescribing approach for young people living within the Penderi cluster area.

Cwmtawe Complex Needs Project works in a similar way, but with adults with complex needs and from GP surgeries in the Cwmtawe cluster area.

Hospital discharge service provides brokerage to community based services including essential and urgent home support upon discharge from hospital, essentially a one stop shop for professionals navigating safe discharge.

Dementia and carer project provides people living with dementia, and their carers, an opportunity to engage socially in the community, access community resources with the support of a volunteer.

BME Health Project supports the health board and local authority to engage with people from marginalised communities in relation to health messaging, health and wellbeing.

SCVS ran a crowd funding campaign to support those affected by the Morriston fire, total funding distributed to the impacted residents was almost £50,000.

SCVS worked closely with statutory partners and Welsh Government to establish the first Multibank in Wales which was established as a Faith in Families project. The Multibank- ‘Cwtch Mawr’ distributes surplus and returned goods to individuals in need.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

Feedback from those accessing our services:

"The SCVS Micro Enterprise Directory has been a godsend to us as a family. Having been discharged on the same day as being in theatre the Emergency Duty Social Worker in Swansea was also key in flagging my health and social care needs. The SCVS Directory allowed us to interview 4 small companies in a day, we selected two and they actually started this morning which enables my son to return to his demanding job in London tomorrow - ten days after the accident."

"I have wanted to express my gratitude to you for everything you have helped me with, I haven't felt suicidal or worthless for so long now that I can't really remember when this changed, but I do know that I was utterly defeated when I first spoke with you and now thanks to all the things you have organised and people you've had help me I now have hope for the future for the first time in my life. I don't have the words to express my gratitude properly but I know not all superheroes wear capes but I think you deserve one."

"Well, literally just in! Postcode News. WE GOT IT. £25k! I have to keep opening it in case I read it wrong, but no, we got it!! Thank you so much for the support. I am definitely in shock!!"

"Can I just say what an amazing team you have at the SCVS! Since becoming a registered member, we have received immediate, useful and detailed support from your very kind staff. I can best liken it to being on a first-class flight and having extra blankets, refreshments and everything I need sent my way to make my journey as smooth as possible."

Future Plans

We will continue to look for opportunities to increase use of our buildings on Walter Rd, this will involve replacing our current lift to enable full access to all floors.

In response to feedback from the sector, we will look to facilitate opportunities for groups to diversify their income streams. We will consider lottery and payroll giving options that can be made widely available to the sector.

5. Financial Review

The total income of £3,262,028 (2023: £2,410,728) was spent on charitable activity expenditure totalling £3,359,978 (2023: £2,566,051) and other costs of £12,000 (2023: £11,000).

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 2024 were £472,861 (2023: £539,806), designated funds were £319,537 (2023: £274,841), and unrestricted funds were £878,733 (2023: £966,434).

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, and the West Glamorgan RPB.

SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE

TRUSTEES' REPORT

Investment policy

When available, surplus cash is invested in short-term interest bearing accounts when available in order to maximise income but retain accessibility.

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 £2,137,257 (2023: £1,873,314) 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 £938,987 (2023: £678,954) 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 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.

We have audited the financial statements of Swansea Council For Voluntary Service (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise a Statement of Financial Activities, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. In our opinion the financial statements:

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Association in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS TRUSTEES OF SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE

OTHER INFORMATION

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken during the course of the audit:

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In the light and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

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.

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

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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.

e) Taxation

SCVS is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

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.

i) Current Asset Investments

Investment policy - when available, surplus cash is invested on a short-term notice deposit account, in order to maximise income but retain accessibility. This heading includes cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than on year.

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:

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

k) Reserves (cont.)

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

m) Trustees Expenses

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.

q) Financial Instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

SWANSEA COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

q) Financial Instruments (cont.)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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.

Restricted funds represent balances in the scheme projects which are restricted to future use within these projects.

Debit balances represent timing differences, where the project expenditure temporarily outweighs the project income. The charity is responsible for settling any debit balances remaining at the end of a particular project.

The transfers from unrestricted reserves into restricted represent the contribution from unrestricted reserves to cover annual deficits on some of the restricted projects. Whereby capital items have been purchased within a restricted fund, transfers of these costs have been made to designated funds. During the year, discussions with funders were had and it was agreed that historical restricted funds could be repurposed for new initiatives, where the original project has ended and the funder does not require any funds to be returned.
