Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association incorporated 5 February1998 as amended by special resolution dated 12 June 1998, 29 October 2001, 18 October 2004 and 5 November 2010 and by Certificate of Incorporation on change of name dated 4 May 2010. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

There should be a minimum of 6 and not more than 15 trustees/directors. The trustees are proposed by associate members, appointed at the Board meeting and must retire after they have served three full calendar years. Retiring trustees may be re-proposed and appointed for a further term. The Board have the right to co-opt up to five trustees who must retire each year, but are eligible for further co-option. At all times the number of co-opted trustees must be less than the number of appointed trustees up to a maximum of 5.

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The objectives of NCVS as set out in the articles of association are:

a) The advancement of citizenship and community development particularly the promotion of the voluntary sector, volunteering, capacity building and the efficiency and effectiveness of charities and similar organisations;

b) Any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community and in particular the advancement of education, the furtherance of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness;

c) Organise co-operation in the achievement of the above purposes and to that end bring together representatives of the statutory authorities and voluntary organisations engaged in the furtherance of the above purposes.

Trustees' Report

Objectives, strategies and activities

We support Nottingham's voluntary sector through: • Volunteering: Improving the quality of volunteering and breadth of volunteering opportunities across the city; • Voluntary sector development: Strengthening the voluntary sector’s capacity to help its clients through promoting best practice, funding advice and training;

• Voices: Speaking up for the voluntary sector on issues crucial to its future, and increasing the sector’s access to, and influence upon, decision makers;

• Voluntary Action Centre: Providing a space for organisations to meet and network, access training and promote their work.

Public benefit

NCVS’s activities benefit voluntary sector organisations, individuals and the interaction between the statutory sector and the voluntary and community sector in Nottingham and its environs. The Board of Trustees have considered public benefit and concluded that:

  1. The aims of the organisation continue to be charitable;

  2. The aims and the services delivered give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector and both indirectly and directly to individuals in need;

  3. The benefits are for the public, are not unreasonably restricted in any way and certainly not by ability to pay; and

  4. There is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or activities.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

During the first pandemic lockdown most staff, except those directly related to the building began working from home. This continued throughout the financial year, with the exception of the Head of Support Services choosing to work from the building from August 2020. This was helpful to the building staff as more tenants used the building as restrictions eased. We adapted well to working from home and moved all training and network meetings online, which has proved successful.

At the beginning of the financial year we implemented our new CRM system and website. This allowed us to register over 1,000 volunteers within a four-week period at the height of the first pandemic lockdown. This would have been unachievable with the previous system. During the year we registered over 2,000 volunteers and we had on average 400 volunteering opportunities active at any given time.

The improved CRM system and website have also given us a better platform to provide vital support and information to groups and charities in Nottingham. We set up an appeals page so that groups could make a direct ask of the public for items (example PPE) that they needed to deliver services differently. We increased readership of the ebulletin and also increased engagement across our social media channels. We provided resources pages which we updated dynamically as the situation changed which was valuable to small organisation who do not have time to seek out the information themselves.

Our one to one delivery of support slowed at the beginning of the year due to many small organisations not having capable IT to conduct online meetings. Also, many organisations with premises had to close some services due to restrictions. Delivery did pick up during the year and we were able to direct many individuals to take up our online training offer.

The staff team responded and adapted to a significant change in circumstances. They rose above and beyond expectation to deliver vital support and information to Nottingham's community and voluntary sector.

Trustees' Report

Strategic Review of the Business for 2019/20

Financial review

Due to the pandemic lockdown and restrictions we lost a full year of revenue from room hire which contributed to a deficit. We were able to recover some of that loss through Business Support grants and Furlough reimbursements.

Policy on reserves

NCVS needs reserves for three reasons:

  1. To cover short term requirements (for instance, where contract or grant income is delayed, where up front expenditure is required or where there are termination costs of a project);

  2. To enable NCVS to undertake projects without funding if necessary;

  3. To provide working capital.

Our ideal position would be to hold free reserves sufficient for six months operation.

The Trustees review the reserves position annually as part of the budget approval process and take action both then and where necessary during the course of the year to ensure that reserves are satisfactory.

Trustees' Report

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.

Small companies provision statement

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Page 10

Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Deferred income

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual items of office equipment costing £5,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Replacement of existing premises equipment within the building is written off in the year it is replaced.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Land and buildings 2.0% straight line Office equipment 25.0% straight line

Page 11

Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the Charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
