**NORTH TYNESIDE VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS DEVELOPMENT AGENCY** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objects** 

The charity’s Memorandum of Association states the charity’s objects as being "to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in the local government district of North Tyneside, and in particular the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness and in the furtherance of the said purposes but not further or otherwise to promote and organise co-operation in the achievement of the same and to that end to bring together in council representatives of the voluntary organisations and statutory authorities and agencies." 

## **Strategic Objectives** 

The charity works to support volunteers and community organisations in North Tyneside to maximise their impact. VODA does this by pursuing the following objectives: 

- Providing a full range of high quality core services free to volunteers and voluntary and community organisations. 

- Directly delivering programmes that enable volunteers to support local residents and voluntary and community organisations. 

- Providing a number of chargeable services that are in demand but which lie outside of our free core services. 

- Ensuring the VCS has a strong voice, is respected and is involved in decision making as an equal partner. 

- Facilitating stronger mutually beneficial partnerships between VCS organisations, and other sectors. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The charity exists for the public benefit. VODA believes that volunteers and community organisations change people’s lives for the better. By delivering the strategic objective listed above the charity is contributing to a borough in which residents have access to good quality support services and are able to play an active role in supporting the health and wellbeing of others.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

Due to the COVID19 coronavirus outbreak in the spring of 2020, normal operations were suspended on 23 March so that staff could be assigned to other duties. While many organisations effectively went into hibernation, closing their doors and furloughing any paid staff they had, others moved to online delivery of services. It quickly became apparent to VODA that there was never a greater need for volunteers. Food, prescriptions and utility top-ups, the things we all take for granted, were suddenly out of reach for those who were self-isolating and patients who, because they were clinically vulnerable, were shielding and unable to leave their home. With so many firms closing down for the duration, an army of volunteers suddenly became available as furloughed staff searched for things to keep themselves occupied with and often the basic desire to help the less fortunate in the community. VODA teamed up with North Tyneside Council to address issues that had never previously been encountered and formed partnerships with other organisations which also realised the potentially catastrophic effects of an unsupported society. 

For their efforts VODA was a finalist in the North East Charity of the Year Award, and runner-up in the NAVCA CEO of the Year Award, but the real reward was the countless messages of gratitude from beneficiaries and partners. 

Despite the pandemic the main activities for the year continued to focus on our core purpose of supporting volunteers and members of the voluntary and community sector across North Tyneside. 

## **Objective One - Providing a full range of high-quality core services free to volunteers and voluntary and community organisations** 

VODA's accredited Volunteer Centre responded to 1,260 enquiries from local residents wishing to volunteer, matching them to a range of local organisations that were responding to increased need due to the pandemic. 

The Volunteer Centre also moved meetings of the Volunteer Network online providing an opportunity for placement providers to come together to share good practice and offer peer support. 

117 groups received free one-to-one support around issues such as funding, governance and furlough. A total of 303 support sessions were delivered remotely. 

Keeping groups updated on COVID advice was a key feature of VODA’s work during the year with information being sent through social media channels. The number of visitors to our website and followers on our social media channels reached an all-time high. 

Despite our usual face to face training provision being curtailed due to Covid-19 restrictions we were still able to offer a range of free masterclasses online covering key issues such as the safe use of PPE, re-opening community buildings and using Zoom and Teams to run meetings.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE - continued** 

## **Objective Two - Directly delivering programmes that enable volunteers to support local residents and voluntary and community organisations** 

VODA's Good Neighbours project was rapidly scaled up to meet the needs of local residents who were required to shield due to being deemed Clinically Extremely Vulnerable. 430 new volunteers stepped up to support 3,200 local residents with access to shopping, prescriptions and food parcels. 

The Digital Champions project focused on the use of computers, tablets, smart phones and other devices as an aid to independent living. Altogether, 35 Digital Champion volunteers undertook a total of 67 tasks covering a wide range of issues from the general operation of devices to using email and social media. 

A Community Health Champions project was established to share high quality, accurate and relevant information to individuals and VCS organisations about COVID19 and the vaccination programme. The messages were particularly pertinent to more vulnerable segments of the community which included ethnically diverse residents. It is estimated that 118 Health Champions delivered health messages directly to at least 680 residents and indirectly to a further 16,820 people of which 23% were from minority ethnic backgrounds. 

VODA led on the North Tyneside Oximetry@Home Service recruiting and co-ordinating volunteers to deliver pulse oximeters to the homes of Covid-positive patients. This service helped to manage patients at home thereby avoiding unnecessary admissions to hospital which, in turn, freed-up resources for those with more severe, and potentially life-threatening, symptoms. 

VODA co-ordinated 163 stewarding volunteers who signed up to support the GP-led vaccination programme in North Tyneside. Clinics at the Langdale Centre, Oxford Centre and The Parks administered vaccinations to thousands of local residents. In total 6,093 volunteer hours were donated during the reporting period. 

During Lockdown VODA's NT Life Recovery College was able to maintain regular contact with local residents whose mental health may be additional vulnerable. Participants received regular arts and crafts activities in the post and 250 Little Boxes of Hope were distributed to help people maintain positive mental health and wellbeing during difficult circumstances. 

## **Objective Three - Providing a number of chargeable services that are in demand but which lie outside of our free core services** 

VODA's Finance Team continued to offer a paid-for Community Accountancy and Payroll service. 

VODA continued to offer a film making and animation service helping groups to promote and document their work. A series of short volunteer training animations created by VODA at the beginning of lockdown were purchased by 32 different organisations across the country.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE - continued** 

## **Objective Four - Ensuring the VCS has a strong voice, is respected and is involved in decision making as an equal partner** 

In partnership with North Tyneside Council, VODA planned and delivered a programme of online 'Working with the VCS' events bringing together colleagues from the voluntary and community sector, local authority, public health, Clinical Commissioning Group and private sector. 

VODA played in a key role in helping to shape the Covid Response Plan across the borough, creating opportunities for VCS organisations to be resourced to play their part. 

VODA's Chief Executive, Robin Fry, continued in his role of the North of Tyne Mayor's VCSE Ambassador 

VODA's Chief Executive, Robin Fry, continued to represent the voluntary and community sector at strategic meetings such as the North Tyneside Strategic Partnership and North Tyneside Cabinet. 

## **Objective Five - Facilitating stronger mutually beneficial partnerships between VCS organisations and other sectors** 

At the beginning of the pandemic VODA supported North Tyneside Council to establish a Local Support System with the ability to make referrals to essential local services delivered by key partners. 

VODA was the lead partner in the Winter Support Network providing vulnerable residents with essential provisions to help keep them safe and warm over the winter months. The Network of 12 organisations reached some 695 beneficiaries 

Through VODA's Ending Loneliness Partnership a range of service providers worked together to help tackle loneliness and isolation amongst older people across the borough. 

VODA continued to work alongside health initiatives such as Social Prescribing and Primary Care Networks to develop strong relationships between the VCS, health services and local residents. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

At the balance sheet date, the charity held funds of £490,676 (2020 - £285,242) of which £240,343 (2020 - £98,073) was subject to restriction. Free reserves amounted to £195,872 (2020 - £140,942). Details of designations and the charity's reserves policy can be found below. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Continued support from North Tyneside Council for core activities has enabled the charity to secure funding from a range of different sources, both in terms of grants and contracts.The trustees are grateful to all VODA's funders, details of whom can be found in the accounts.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued** 

## **Other income sources** 

Developing income streams other than grants and contracts is increasingly important for the future financial stability of the organisation. VODA has pursued opportunities for the generation of earned income during the reporting year, particularly in the fields of film-making and finance services. 

## **Investment policy** 

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term, mainly to support the cash flow situation. Having considered the options available the trustees have decided that any surplus funds should be transferred to an appropriate interest bearing account on a regular basis. The transfer is managed by the Finance Officer and Chief Executive, and all trustees are updated on income generated as part of the normal financial reporting procedure. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. In recognition of the significant number of projects which the organisation operates, the trustees have established a policy whereby unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be six months of core running costs. 

In addition, VODA has a designated fund - The Legal Liability Fund, which will cover winding up and redundancy costs. Our most recent calculations show that we must set aside £54,461 for this. This is reviewed on an annual basis. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The charity plans to continue furthering the strategic objective outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. The trustees have recognised that given the current financial climate it is necessary to regularly review the services VODA offers, and deliver them more efficiently and effectively wherever possible. Partnership working and collaboration will continue to be an important part of VODA's work. 

Trustees are aware of the potential risks which the organisation is exposed to when taking on a lead body status for any new contracts, and policies and procedures have been developed to mitigate this risk. Senior staff update trustees on any potential risks before developing new partnerships. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 28 January 1999 and registered as a charity on 12 April 1999. 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. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of North Tyneside Voluntary Organisations Development Agency for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law 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 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORTH TYNESIDE VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS DEVELOPMENT AGENCY** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of North Tyneside Voluntary Organisations Development Agency ('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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales 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: 

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.

## **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. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Plant and machinery - 33% on cost and 20% on cost 

## **Taxation**

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
