THE BOSTON VOLUNTEER CENTRE CHARITY
Report of the Trustees
For the Year Ended 30 September 2021
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their report with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 September 2021.
Legal and Administrative Information
The Boston Volunteer Centre Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and does not have any share capital. It was incorporated on 29 September 1997 and was registered as a charity on 30 May 1998. It is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 29 September 1997. The Articles have since been amended by special resolution dated 29 January 2015 and again on 19 February 2021. New trustees are approved by the present members of the trustees board.
(Further administrative details of the charity can be found on page 1)
Trustees induction and training
New trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, content of the Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes and recent financial performance of the charity.
Objectives of the Charity
The objects of the charity are that of promoting the efficiency of charitable institutions and purposes in Boston for the benefit of the public, in particular by the provision, management and maintenance of low cost accommodation and related services for such organisations and by holding reversionary interests in property which is occupied for charitable purposes.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Our charitable activities are mainly provided for promoting the efficiency of charitable institutions in Boston. We aim to provide low cost accommodation and related services for these institutions and to further our charitable purposes for the benefit of the public.
Policies Adopted to Achieve Objectives
In order to further these objectives, the charity has obtained funding, acquired a site and constructed a purpose built centre creating more than 7,000 square feet of office accommodation.
Organisation
The charity has elected an independent board of professional people from the area to manage the centre on a strategic level. The Chairman is Stuart Hellon. A full list of trustees is shown on page 1. The trustees meet every three months.
Review of the Charity
Since the departure of the long standing tenants the charity does not achieve full occupancy of the Len Medlock Voluntary Centre and there are rooms available for licence or day use.
The Board recognised the changing needs of the social, volunteer organisations in the town and adapted The Len Medlock Voluntary Centre to meet these changing needs.
Financial Review
The results for the year and the financial position of the charity are as shown in the financial statements. The results shown are in line with budgets. The principal source of funding was room hire.

Report of the Trustees Continued
For the Year Ended 30 September 2021
Reserves Policy
The trustees' charitable purpose is to provide facilities for charitable organisations. As such, their aim is not to make a profit from those organisations. The build up of funds for the renewal of the premises has been costed and put aside for this future purpose. Apart from this fund, the trustees consider that free reserves to cover expenditure over a three month period in the case of all income ceasing would be sufficient. At the balance sheet date free reserves amounted to £84,381 (2020 £86,254). The requirement was £15,155 (2020 £16,540).
Investment Policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit.
The charity has a policy of keeping liquid funds in accounts that can be accessed readily. In addition to the current account and deposit account with Unity Trust Bank it now has deposit accounts with the Nationwide Building Society and a savings account with the Lincolnshire Credit Union.
Risk Policy
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have identified that there is a risk to the charity in that future repairs may be needed to maintain the freehold property in its present condition.
Directors and Trustees
The directors, who are also the trustees of the charity, during the year under review were:
Stuart Hellon (Chairman) Peter F. Lawson Jayne Morris Janette Baggott Donna Graveling (Vice Chairman) Tom McBeth Carol Anne Payne Susan Applegarth Myra Upton Geoff Wray (Appointed 28 October 2021)
Volunteers
The trustees are all volunteers. No further voluntary input is made into the charity.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are required under the Charities Act 2011 to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.
In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The Boston Volunteer Centre Charity is a private limited company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company’s registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
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 (FRS102) effective January 2016 – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA (Statement of Financial Activities) when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
-
All voluntary income is accounted for when received.
-
Grants are accounted for when received.
-
Investment income is accounted for when receivable.
-
Rental income and service charges is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt. 5. The financial statements do not include any amounts received in the year for in kind contributions. The in kind contributions received during the year were in connection with the provision of time and services to assist the project. The monetary value of these contributions has not been determined.
Resources Expended
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Expenditure is allocated between those specific to the operation of the charity's objectives (charitable expenditure) and the costs for the running of the charity itself as an organisation (management and administration).
Tangible Fixed Assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings 15% on cost Computers 20% on cost
Investment Assets
The investment property is held to provide low cost accommodation to other charitable organisations, in accordance with its own charitable objectives. At the time of the valuation the valuer felt that even if the property were vacant when it was sold it would still not be worth the original cost. Therefore the trustees have included this valuation in the accounts deeming it to be the fair value of the property as it is being held to meet the charity’s objectives and would always have a low market value due to the reduced rents being charged. The Trustees will consider this valuation each year.
All unrealised gains and losses are shown on the statement of financial activities.

Taking into account its usage, the property was revalued to its carrying value in 2002. The decrease in value was considered a permanent diminution in value and written off against funds.
The trustees were informed that the value of the freehold property would be approximately £500,000 if the premises were available for purchase with full vacant possession or if full market rentals were obtained. However, the intention is for the premises to continue to be rented to charitable organisations as a provision of low cost accommodation in accordance with the company's objectives.
