OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Charitable Purpose
Ashford Volunteer Centre's Articles of Association state that the charity's objects are:
To promote and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of charities and organisations whose purposes are charitable
in direct pursuit of their objectives including by:
"The provision of office accommodation and ancillary facilities
" Advising and guiding persons willing to undertake voluntary services
"Advising and guiding organisations using volunteers, particularly those being members of the centre
"Holding and conducting conferences, seminars and enquiries
The Volunteer Centre mission is: that people are empowered to volunteer and use their skills to build strong and
vibrant communities.
Values: Ashford Volunteer Centre holds 4 high-level values and these are woven through our way of working and our
commitment to volunteering. Our values also ensure Ashford Volunteer Centre is a great place to work. Our values
are:
" Everyone has the right to offer their time to volunteer
" Every volunteer has the right to have a great volunteering experience
" Volunteers must never be a replacement for paid workers
"True volunteering is for the benefit of the social community, the individual, and volunteer involving organisation
Activities undertaken to achieve our strategic aims
The provision of office accommodation and ancillary facilities
Berwick House, the community building owned by Ashford Volunteer Centre, has been successfully utilised to support
free and subsidised hire for community groups/organisations. The charity has continued to refurbish the building
during this financial year, focusing on measures to improve the building's energy efficiencv.
Advising and guiding persons willing to undertake voluntary services
We heip people into volunteering in two ways; firstly, through our own volunteer led projects (including our volunteer
car scheme, a befriending service and Men in Sheds)
and we also support individuals to undertake volunteering roles in other organisations.
Ashford Volunteer Centre volunteer led projects:
"Volunteer car scheme: we recruit and train volunteers to offer this scheme, which enables people who find it
difficult to use public transport to attend health appointments. Where resources allow, we also support people to
undertake shopping trips or social excursions.
" Befriending service: Volunteers are trained and then matched with a socially isolated beneficiary. Each befriending
session lasts up to 2 hours and our clients meet in a range of settings, including beneficiary's homes, local community
venues (cafes, shops, parks, etc) and we run group befriending sessions in our building in Ashford town centre. We
also provide telephone befriending if requested.
" Men in Sheds: is a weekly session held in our own fully equipped shed in central Ashford. These sessions are aimed
at men with poor mental health who want to grow their social network. They work together in the shed to make items
for their own homes or for community projects and build social connections that last outside of the weekly shed
"Care Navigation service: two staff members are based in William Harvey Hospital supporting patients as they leave
to retain independence. This service is also provided at the volunteer centre once a week for individuals in need.
" Paws: Walk & Talk: this year we piloted a volunteer led walking project for older people who like dogs, but don't
have one of their own and want to get more active. We offered both group and one to one sessions in local parks.
Supporting people into volunteering:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
" Volunteer connection: we have sustained our support to local people, helping them to find volunteering
opportunities in the borough of Ashford through our volunteer connection service. We offer a seamless route into
volunteering, which includes understanding each individual potential volunteer's areas of interest, identifying
volunteering opportunities in that area of interest and ensuring they are volunteering ready through training and
" Kent Volunteers: This year, we continued to lead and develop the Kent Volunteers Project, which is a partnership
project funded by Kent County Council and the Lord Lieutenant of Kent's office. As part of this project, we have
developed an online platform for volunteering in Kent; individuals can use the platform to search for volunteering
opportunities across the county and access training materials to help them develop their volunteering skills. This year
we focused on building networks for volunteer coordinators and Trustees.
Advising and guiding organisations using volunteers, particularly those being members of the centre
We offer one to one support to organisations who are seeking volunteers, providing them with advice and support to
recruit and retain volunteers. This includes helping them to develop and advertise roles on our online portal, DBS
checking applicants and signposting to other support.
Many of the organisations that we support on a one to one basis are grassroots community organisations supporting
local minority communities, so in partnership with Ashford Borough Council we launched the Ashford Multicultural
forum last year. The forum has continued to grow in this financial year, offering opportunities for smaller
organisations to undertake training, network with each other and to grow inclusive activities together.
We provided intensive one to one consultancy support to one local charity this year, helping them to review their
operations and improve systems to ensure they were operating within the law; particularly in relation to health and
safety requirements. We also supported them to develop financial systems and review their governance.
We supported the development of Kent County Council's Family Hubs volunteer community of practice this year. This
work included providing training, developing videos and creating a suite of documents for the volunteers to use in
their work.
Holding and conducting conferences, seminars and enquiries
Ashford Volunteer Centre activities: We have continued to deliver a range of training courses during the year,
particularly training focused on Trustees, in response to needs identified by our service users, who told us there was
very little support available to Trustees at times that suit them. We held events in both volunteers week and Trustees
week aimed at thanking and supporting volunteers.
Partnership activities: We continue to seek partnerships with other organsations both locally and Kent wide, to reduce
duplication and maximise resources. We were invited to join other Kent based infrastructure groups to form the Kent
Infrastructure Partnership, which has activities planned in the next financial year.
Representation and championing volunteering: Our CEO continues to represent volunteering in Kent through her
membership on the VCSE steering group and our relationship with Ashford Borough Council (ABC) remains productive,
with the CEO sitting on the ABC community grants panel.
We increased the number of events attended this year, where we championed volunteering.
Public benefit
The Charity's Trustees have complied with their duties under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public
benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Ashford Volunteer Centre's particular public benefit activities
are included below, illustrating the commitment of the Charity to strengthen community volunteering and
organisations of Kent.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO ACHIEVE OUR STRATEGIC AIMS
The provision of office accommodation and ancillary facilities
This year we have continued our building refurbishment programme and applied for a major grant to enable us to refit
all our windows, with the aim of making the building more energy efficient. This project started towards the end of
the financial year and will continue into Spring 2025.
Last year we installed Hallmaster, an online booking system for our rooms; which has meant that local groups can
book our rooms outside of office hours. This system has now bedded in and groups are feeling the benefit of it.
Advising and guiding persons willing to undertake voluntary services
Volunteer car scheme: Our 26 volunteer drivers delivered 3205 car trips, covering 45904 miles. 12 additional
volunteers supported the scheme by helping in the office to co-ordinate trips. This year we installed and embedded
the CATSS transport management system, which has created greater efficiencies in our allocation of drivers to
Journeys and has enabled our service users to book trips online.
Befriending service: 63 lonely or isolated people aged over 50 were supported by a befriender through this service.
New for this year, we piloted letter writing to people in care homes.
Men in Sheds: 10 people benefitted from our weekly shed session and one of our building tenants (Uprising) also used
the shed in the last year to run activities for the young people they work with.
Care Navigation service: we supported 898 patients and made 1891 referrals through this service and we piloted the
involvement of volunteers in this service, with the aim of reaching more people.
Supporting people into volunteering:
" We have continued to maintain the Kent Volunteers Platform (https://kentvolunteers.org.uk). At the end of March
2025 the platform had 3457 approved volunteers using the site to find potential roles.
"We celebrated volunteers and their achievements in volunteer week (June 2024). It was estimated that volunteers at
Ashford Volunteer Centre, gave over 20,000 volunteering hours to their local community
Advising and guiding organisations using volunteers, particularly those being members of the centre
"The Kent Volunteers platform had 1098 organisations regularly advertising volunteering roles at the end of March
2025.
"The Ashford Multicultural Forum has 30 members. 12 organisations have benefitted from low cost room hire in the
last year, at least 10 organisations have received capacity building support, including a long term project undertaken
with a local organisation that was failing where 75 clients and staff have benefitted.
" Volunteers and Volunteer Managers across Kent participated in our surveys, enabling us to share data with our
partners which will help champion volunteering in coming years.
Other achievements
"Our Festive campaign gathering long life food for the local foodbank raised f320 and collected 348 food items.
We started to run the Ashford Community Lottery on behalf of Ashford Borough Council from October 2024. So far 82
local organisations have benefitted from this new fundraising initiative.
" We reorganised our staff team, which enabled us to retain our staff, but puts volunteers at the front and centre of all
we do. Staff have greater flexibility around their roles, leaving space for volunteers to take the lead on some projects.
We also created a new finance role, supporting the CEO to run the charity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Ashford Volunteer Centre remains committed to maintaining a strong and sustainable financial position. We will
continue to explore and develop alternative funding streams to diversify income and reduce reliance on single
sources. To strengthen financial planning and decision-making, we will provide additional resources to the Finance
Committee, enabling greater financial intelligence across the charity. Furthermore, we will invest in external support
for our staff to enhance understanding of our accounting systems and improve insight into financial data, ensuring
robust governance and informed strategic planning.
Despite the continued pressure on funding our income increased by £27,956 (24/25 £398,494, 23/24: £370,538). Our
surplus from charitable activities for the year increased from f57,654 deficit to £62,320, largely as a result of the
capital grant for Berwick House windows. There was an overall reduction in other grants due to cost of living,
therefore we have adapted our services to be more volunteer-led as a result.
Our total funds of £604,731 comprise restricted funds of £440,949 (23/24: £362,691) and unrestricted funds of
£163,782 (23/24: £179,720). The use of unrestricted funds is set out in the section on our Reserves.
Reserves policy
The results for the year and financial position of the Company are shown in the annexed Financial Statements. During
the period, the Company continued to operate the property at 8 Elwick Road, Ashford. The Reserves Policy is that free
reserves should cover 6 months of operating expenditure.
FUTURE PLANS
It is anticipated that our services will continue as described above in the next financial year, with some specific plans
for development. As mentioned above, we will continue our refurbishment with the installation of new windows,
utilising the grant we secured towards the end of this financial year. We also plan to paint the building exterior, in a
continued effort to maintain the building, ensuring it remains a useful asset for the community.
We also plan to extend our consultancy service, which has served as a helpful income generator this year.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the 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)', Financial
Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the
Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds,
it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
income in respect of services provided is recognised when, and to the extent that, performance occurs and is
measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable.
Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to 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.
Income from subscriptions, donations and legacies is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the
year in which it is receivable.
Interest receivable is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably, normally upon
notification of interest paid by the bank.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits 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 cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be
directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the
use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a
commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
