## ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## eee 

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 5th April 2025. 

## Constitution 

The Charity is governed by a Trust Deed dated 16 October 1998, as amended by supplemental deeds dated 25 February 1999, 11 August 2009 and 21 September 2009. 

## Objectives and Activities 

The main objects of the Charity are to promote for the public benefit, the prevention of crime and the protection of people and property criminal acts and the advancement of education for the public benefit in all matters relating to crime prevention, road safety, the prevention of accidents generally, personal safety, alcohol, drug, solvent and other substance abuse and of any matters affecting crime and safety in the community that improves the quality of life of communities. These objectives are achieved by operating The Cambridgeshire Bobby Scheme. 

The Scheme protects the most vulnerable people in Peterborough and Cambridgeshire by providing and installing physical security to the homes of the over 60s and 18+ with a registered disability who have become, or are at risk of becoming, victims of house crime. We also provide advice on avoiding scams, rogue traders and cybercrime which has become a major threat, especially to elderly and vulnerable people. 

The ‘Crime Prevention Specialist’ operators carry out full home security and fire risk assessments before fitting the appropriate hardware for each client. This service and the equipment are provided free to all eligible clients. They secure approximately 1000 homes each year thereby reducing the fear of crime, the incidence of crime or re-victimisation and allowing people to live with a feeling of safety in their own home. Crime prevention talks and attending community events also provides information, advice and guidance to more than 500 older people countywide. 

## Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees 

New Trustees are recruited on the basis that they either represent the beneficiaries of the work of the Trust; are or have been High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire; or represent the Cambridgeshire Constabulary. The work of the Trust is such that the Trustees do not need to receive any specialised awareness training but they keep themselves informed by reference to Charity Commission circulars, expert individuals and relevant published reports. Trustees are entitled to claim expenses but have chosen not to do so and have never claimed. 

## Risk Management 

The Trust has a published investment policy and financial risk management is undertaken by a sub-committee of three Trustees. 

Risk Management is an essential element of all operational plans, and a full business analysis is prepared for consideration by Trustees prior to major purchases or developmental expenditure. 

Safeguarding, Data Protection, Health and Safety Risk Assessments are undertaken in relation to all the key activities of the Trust, and each is reviewed annually. The Trust’s insurance company has provided direct support to this process and, additionally, a consultant was engaged to report on every aspect of Trust activity. 

## Public Benefit 

The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are Satisfied that all the activities undertaken by the Charity in pursuance of its objectives are for the benefit of the public.

## aena ene eae ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) Grenn Financial Review Income for the year showed a decrease on the previous year of £53,431 (2024: £16,123) due to a fall in grant income received. This was expected and alternative activities and streams of income are being explored. 

Expenditure showed an increase on the previous year of £27,188 (2024: decrease of £49,958). Full details can be found on pages 15 — 16 of these financial statements. 

This year overall showed a deficit of £64,122 compared to a surplus of £16,497 in 2024. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Charity holds restricted reserves in the Cambridgeshire Bobby Scheme fund of £326,306 at the year-end (2024 - £390,428). 

The Trustees are reviewing the level of reserves held in detail in conjunction with the loss of future PCC funding. The Trustees are confident that the charity is a going concern, and further details are given in the accounting policy at 2b. During 2023 the charity ringfenced £85,000 in a 2 year, accessible bond, in order to provide interest income at a better return for the charity. 

As the Charity's objectives fall within the terms of the restricted fund, the Trustees do not deem it necessary to hold unrestricted reserves. 

## Statement of Trustees Responsibilities 

The Trustees are responsible for the preparing of the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

- e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102); 

- e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- e state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed; 

- ® prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## b) Going concern 

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the future level of expected income and expenditure, including the impact of the lost PCC funding. They have undertaken analysis of their position and based on this are satisfied that the charity will continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from signing these financial statements.

## CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST ea a a a a a NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025 

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs of both attracting voluntary income and the costs associated with its permitted trading activities of letting surplus buildings. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. 

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity, including audit fees and costs associated with the AGM and similar board meetings. 

- f) Fixed assets 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provisions for impairment. 

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of the asset as follows: - 

Plant and Equipment - 20% straight line Office Equipment - 20% straight line Motor Vehicles - 20% straight line 

## g) Debtors 

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

## h) Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and 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. 

## i) Liabilities and provisions 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date because of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. 

## j) Financial instruments 

The Charity enters basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investment in non-puttable ordinary shares.

## CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST 

## NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED5 APRIL 2025 

## 3 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

Estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to continuous monitoring. 

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions relating to future events which 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. 

## Useful economic lives and residual values of tangible assets 

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
