Chair’s Review

Welcome to the Annual Review for year ending 31[st] March 2023.

In last year’s annual report we reflected on our response to and recovery from the Covid epidemic. This year our focus has been on re-establishing our core strategy, dealing with the cost of living crisis, and ensuring our finances are in a robust position to enable us to continue tackling our key priorities.

Our revised strategic aims give a real focus and sense of direction to The Bureau that will set us on a positive course for years to come. It was developed with a range of partners and truly reflects our purpose and focus.

Financially we have stabilised our position and had a very successful year in terms of funding, including one of our most successful funding bids which will support our Life Skills programme for a further three years. Our finance team have managed our resources so well through the year that we are now in a position to provide additional resources to the community to help tackle the cost of living crisis that is causing so much anxiety for many people.

As always, our superb staff and volunteers have ensured that over the last 12 months The Bureau has delivered great services to the Glossopdale community, and will continue to do so. The staff team have proved themselves to be outstanding in responding to the many challenges faced by the community at a time of great financial pressure for many people. And our volunteers have been tireless in putting themselves forward to help support some of the most vulnerable people in the area.

I would also like to thank the Trustees who have overseen the Bureaus activities with commitment and professionalism. Finally a thank you to our many partners who have helped us achieve another successful year. We look forward to working with you all for many years to come.

Simon Rogers (Chair of the Board of Trustees)

Objectives and Activities

The Board of Trustees reviews the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report sets out our activities and looks at the outcomes we have achieved over the previous year. The review examines the success of each key activity and the benefits experienced by residents and groups across Glossopdale. The review also helps us to ensure that our aims, objectives and activities remain focussed on our stated purposes, and directed towards public benefit.

The Board has referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Board has considered how planned activities will contribute to the set aims and objectives.

The Bureau is a community wellbeing charity with continued dedication to improving the quality of life for the people of Glossopdale and the surrounding areas. We support people and communities across Glossopdale to take action that improves the quality of life of local people, by creating solutions and opportunities that enable them to create positive social change and community benefit. This all rooted in our fundamental beliefs that:

Our revised strategic plan for 2022- 2025 sets out 5 key aims, to:

1. Encourage local people to volunteer and support others

2. Offer advice and practical help

3. Connect people with other relevant services

4. Support the growth of community activity and action

5. Respond to community needs as they arise

The revised strategy works to articulate more clearly what we do and how we do it so that all of our stakeholders can connect with and understand our current services and our ambitions for continuing to uniquely serve the community of Glossop. All of our projects and activities remain interdependent and form a model that can flex, grow and respond to the needs, interests and opportunities within our community. The model responds to need as we review what works and integrate feedback, or as the funding landscape changes. Our work falls into the following areas:

During this financial year, following the transition of Glossop NHS services into the Derbyshire footprint, we have worked hard to build relationships with new commissioners and strategic partners, to ensure that vital information on the ground and patient experience and need has been considered at all times. We have lobbied to keep vital services in our community, such as funding for our car scheme and our social prescribing model which is different to those in Derbyshire, infrastructure funding for the local sector and for gaps in service provision on the ground that have been forgotten during the transition. We have also worked with our new partners to communicate the changes with the public, seek their thoughts and concerns and feed them back into the system to assist in making the changes as smooth as possible. Finally we have started to shape future provision through collaboration with the

5

High Peak Health Place Alliance, work more closely under the ambitions of the new Integrated Care Board and continue to respond to and feed in information to our partners about local gaps and needs. Where services are not good enough, we act as a mouthpiece for local people, to be a catalyst for change and improvement. The Bureau works to connect health, social care and other public services to community initiatives, to support people towards wellness. Our priority is people, treating them as individuals, never assuming what is right for them and accepting them for who they are. We walk alongside people to offer a person-centred approach to improving wellbeing.

The varying support we offer is an interdependent web that wraps around an individual to support them with their needs and provide opportunity for them to give to others, often simultaneously, through voluntary activity. Unlike our statutory partners, our wide variety of community based social capital rich activities help to connect people and keep them connected for improved wellbeing and health.

Volunteering is at the heart of who we are and what we do resulting in a strong focus in this strategic period to enhance our volunteering offer through improved training for volunteers, wider opportunities and brokerage and a strong focus on making sure that their experience is as rewarding as it is for the people and communities they support. Volunteering is the thread that runs through every project, helping us to reach more people and bring in a wealth of skills and experience. We value each and every person that comes to us for support or to give their time. There is something for everyone, and we make roles to suit them rather than fitting them into roles we need. Because of this we have an incredibly diverse range of activities happening at The Bureau, where people can be valued for who they are and be allowed to shine.

What we do

The following is a summary of the main activities provided over the last year:

1. Social Connections:

6

2. Social Sessions:

Our social sessions make up what we label as our ‘peer support’ offer which we have worked hard to develop into a tiered approach this financial year. Tier one activities are simply group connections, they add depth to the work we have done with people by offering them social activities that they can join to enrich their life and activities through friendships and new connections. Tier two activities are a new strand and combine connections, friendship and intervention. Our current activities support men with mild to moderate mental health struggles and we are working with partners to establish some funding to develop this further after a successful self-funded pilot. Below are our range of peer support social sessions on offer at the moment.

3. Volunteering:

Volunteering is at the heart of everything we do and has been a key part of the support we have offered our community during the pandemic. We offer a variety of volunteering roles from befriending, to driving, to reception and administration roles, including one-offs, 1-to-1 and group roles. Through ‘shout outs’ of one-off opportunities, we flexibly match people’s interests, time, skills, experience and enthusiasm to the needs of our clients. We currently have 315 active volunteers supporting our work – you can see in the section below some of the impact they have made on their local community, which has been inspiring and overwhelming.

4. Supporting Community Wellbeing:

Following 5 years of delivering a strong offer as part of our local integrated care organisation to support our community and the individuals in it to increase their capacity to manage their own health and wellbeing, we have worked hard this year to convince our new commissioners in Derbyshire to maintain the same model. The evidence base we have been able to draw upon showing our ability to support and reduce demand on overstretched statutory services has ensured that we can continue to deliver this work into the future. Our offer will remain as follows as we move into the Derbyshire Health footprint and includes:-

5. Pre-employment support:

These services are for people who face additional issues or barriers in their lives, including housing, mental ill health, drug and alcohol problems, and low confidence and self-esteem, helping to enable them to reach their goals. This support is offered through three key projects:

6. Bureau Partnerships:

Our purpose is to create solutions and opportunities that enable people and communities to create positive social change and community benefit . We recognise that we can’t do this alone and to achieve this we need to work in partnership with other people and organisations that share our purpose. This year we have developed formal coworking partnerships with:

8

with the GM partnership, we continue to host the Green Social Prescribing Lead on behalf of them and work with them on developments in social prescribing nationally in partnership with the local PCN.

What we’ve achieved

Through working collaboratively with statutory organisations, other voluntary sector organisations, grass roots groups, local businesses, volunteers, individuals and our community as a whole, we have this year supported up to 2000 individuals with the help of over 300 active volunteers.

Some stand out achievements from the last 12 months include:

Post COVID-19, and into a Cost of Living Crisis

Impact on Volunteers, Staff, and Beneficiaries

This year has seen a full return to ‘normality’ from the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, and the ability to consider what our ‘business as usual’ looks like. Despite the total easing of restrictions, it’s important to remember that the pandemic has created a long-lasting wellbeing impact on some of our most vulnerable clients and volunteers and this has been one the challenges of returning to normality. During this past year, we have received unwavering and tireless support from our wonderful volunteers including many new ones and they have helped us through the changing restrictions to deliver all the wonderful impacts outlined above.

However some new challenges have arisen in the form of a cost of living crisis. As the price of basic essentials continued to increase, we found that many of our clients were struggling to keep the heating on and feed their

10

families, creating further stress and heartache to those who may have already been facing issues in their lives. We set up a ‘warm bank’ in our offices once a week, welcoming people in to have a brew with us and pick up any warm items of clothing they might need. We also made sure we knew all the offers of support available locally and nationally, and supported people to access these services.

Our staff team have been outstanding, showing flexibility and versatility in how they deliver their work in a way that best suits their clients. We have again retained our full staff team this year, with just a few staffing changes due to maternity leave or personal progression. We have been focusing on learning all about our new strategy, embedding this into our day-to-day work and ensuring that everyone is working together in the most efficient way possible.

Further Developments

As our staff team mature, learn together, and thrive, we are now in a position to consider where to take our projects next, and how we can build on the good work we have achieved over the last 40 or so years. We are always learning, and this year we have been able to dig further into what our community needs and how we can support them at a grass roots level. Our Community Development Lead has done some fantastic work with the Glossopdale SOUP project, which will eventually be floated off as it’s own committee and will further enable crowdfunding within the community which is empowered to choose what they spend their money on. The peer support offer has widened further, with skills activities such as cooking and forest schools groups enabling people to connect to others and support themselves

Financial Impact

The last financial year in the aftermath of COVID saw funding stream return to business as usual but there has been a unprecedented demand for funds and many we have applied to have been extremely competitive and unsuccessful for us. We have however secured some further long term funding for our Life Skills stream of work, secured investment in our social prescribing offer through Derbyshire Integrated Care Board and retained some cross working with Manchester Integrated Care Board. This will change again in the coming financial year so strategic work to re-align ourselves in our new geography is important. Despite these ongoing pressures, having started the year with a projected deficit we have worked hard through the year to manage our finances well. The coming year presents new opportunities and we will continue to show flexibility and embrace new work for the good of our community in line with the needs that are presented to us. The Board of Trustees consider that our charity remains a going concern.

We continue to take the following actions to mitigate financial risk and effectively plan:

Employees of The Bureau are entitled to join a defined contribution money purchase pension scheme. Two exemployees are members of a defined pension scheme. The Bureau is liable to ongoing additional contributions to this scheme due to scheme underfunding. An underfunding recovery plan has been instigated by the trustees of this scheme with this position reviewed every 3 years. The last review was completed on the 30/9/20. The liability for each organisation is recalculated at review date. The current forecasted end date of the recovery plan is January 2025.

11

An ongoing financial risk remains here, dependent on the performance of the fund and the overall membership of the fund. Whilst there remains a deficit in the fund, our financial obligations will continue. For more information see note 27 in the accounts.

Financial review

Year Summary

The total income for the year was £742,673 with a total expenditure of £709,807 resulting in an reported operating surplus of £32,866. However, the restricted funds brought forward from 2022-23 were £62,005 and the restricted funds being carried forward to 2023-24 are £107,577. When these figures are taken into account the amended result is a deficit of £12,686.

Our main funders over the year were Tameside and Glossop Integrated Foundation Trust, Derbyshire County Council, Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, High Peak Borough Council, Tameside and Glossop CCG, The National Lottery and the European Social Fund.

Reserves Policy

Overall reserves at 31/3/2023 were £522,102, comprising £107,557 restricted funds and £414,545 unrestricted funds. See note 22 in the accounts for more information.

The Bureau will seek, where possible, to maintain a general funds reserve equivalent to its running costs for a period of no less than three months and no more than six months.

Plans for the Future

The coming years are likely to bring more challenges and opportunities for the Bureau, local people across Glossopdale and the VCSE sector. However, we are well placed to respond to these. Whilst we cannot predict what these challenges and opportunities will be, there are a range of factors that will influence us over the coming years including:

12

Structure, Governance and Management

The Bureau is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24 October 1987 and registered as a charity on 6 January 1998.

The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company, and is governed under its articles of association.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 March 2018 was 6. The Board of Trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Board has no beneficial interest in the charity.

All Board members give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the members of the Board of Trustees retire in rotation over a three-year period after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. Trustees may make a recommendation at an Annual General Meeting or through an ordinary resolution to either fill a vacancy or appoint an additional Trustee in accordance with the Articles of Association. New Trustees receive an induction from the Chief Officer and the Chair.

13

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees meets six times a year at which it reviews progress against budget and agreed plans, and considers and defines forward strategy. In particular, the Trustees consider appropriate action to mitigate risk as well as ensuring that planned activities contribute to The Bureau’s charitable objectives that have been set.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (who are also directors of The Bureau for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Board’s annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Board 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 these financial statements, the Management Committee are required to:

The Board is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable it 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.

The Board is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner

Christy Lau of Slade & Cooper Ltd was re-appointed as the charitable company's Independent Examiner during the year and has expressed her willingness to continue in that capacity.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006.

The Board’s annual report has been approved by the Board on 20[th] September 2023 and signed on its behalf by

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Glossop and District Volunteer Bureau (The Bureau) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

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 and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

18

Glossop and District Volunteer Bureau (The Bureau)

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g 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.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h Operating leases

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

i Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Mini-bus 5 years Office equipment 3 years

19

Glossop and District Volunteer Bureau (The Bureau)

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

j Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

l Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity 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 trade discounts due.

m Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

n Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end (2022: £nil).

Two ex-employees are members of a defined benefit pension scheme with The Pensions Trust. Additional contributions to this scheme due to underfunding are included in pensions expenditure. Further details are given in note 24.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.

24 Pension scheme and Contingent liability

SCHEME: TPT Retirement Solutions – The Growth Plan

The company participates in the scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 638 non-associates participating employees. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient infomation to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benfit scheme. Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.

The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pension Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension scheme in the UK.

The scheme is classified as a "last-man standing arrangement". Therefore the company is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme.

A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of £800.3m, liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating eomployers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions

From 1 April 2022 to 31 January £3,312,000 per annum (payable monthly) 2025

Unless a concession has been agreed with the Trustee the term to 31 January 2025 applies. Note that the scheme's previous valuation was carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2017. This valuation showed assets of £794.9m, liabilities of £926.4m and a deficit of £131.5m. To eliminate this funding shortfall the Trustee asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions as follows:

From 1 April 2019 to 30 £11,243.00 per annum (payable monthly and September 2025 increasing by 3% each on 1st April)

The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the Series 1 and Series 2 liabilities.

Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recogmised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.
