ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
COVID 19
During the first quarter of the year activities were delivered in line with the chartys existing plans and all key
perfomiance indicators were being met. The disruption to social and economic life bought on by the Comd 19
pandemic necessitated an immediate and radical change to the methods by which the charity delivered its

The NCRC'S primary activits'es throughout the p￿deMiC have been focused on the delivery of essential
household goods, focKJ, practical and emotional support, as well as the conts'nuation las far as it has been
ssiblel of all rts nomial activities. 'Normal' activities continued to operate where permitted under the various
regulations that were brought in by Govemment.
Budgets and financial forecasts for income. expendilure and cash flows were revised and a series of scenarios
developed based on a possible closedown of trading activities of between ￿ weeks and six months. During the
planning prO￿$s, a number of Govemment financial support initiatives were launched and these were factored
into the planning. The NCRC accessed the following support..
Job Retention Scheme- whereby the charity initially furloughed 39 of its 50 staff. wlh 800kn of their
salaries being met by Govemment and the balance mel by the NCRC. The number of staff who were
active varied throughout the year depending upon the level at which activities were permitted under the
Covid regulation5.
Bounce Back Loans- the NCRC took out a £50,000 loan under the terms of this scheme.
Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant- the NCRC received nuTnerous grants under this scheme.
Local Restriction Support Grant and Closed Business Supwt payTnent
In addition to the above funding, additional monies were received from a number of grant making trusts to
support the NCRC'S Covid 19 response. These grants direcuy funded the charl￿5 food distribution. essential
)usehcJd goods service and support for vulnerable adults.
Sales income forecasts for the year were amended lo reflect the impact of the lockdown and subsequently

expected trading days were lost in the course of the year due to the closing of'non-essential, business.
In more nomial times. the various projects operated by the NCRC deliver a wide range of social and
environmental benefits. As reported above, despite the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic, the charity
accomplished a number of notable achievements during the year. Working in a series of patherships wyth local
authorities and voluntary sector organisations. the most notable being the West Berkshire Community Hub,
achievements included..
Meeting the demand for the provision of household gc￿5 by those in need and support for vulnerable
people to engage in supported training and volunteering aclivtties. We had 97,199 customer vi511s to our
projects la decrease of 29.64%). and supplied 22,580 indimduals and families Mqth essential household
items la decrease of 25.71 %)- 393 people were involved in training and volunteering opportunities over
the course of the year of which 174145%) required Va￿ng levels of personal support. This large drop of
66% in the number of people engaged over the year was due the impact of the pandemic.
During the reporting period we maintained the range of seNices provided lo support vulnerable members
of the communities we work in. This included sport and recreational opportunities in mainstream sports
such as f(>￿ball and cricket. Football proved particularly popular (when allowed) amongst adults with
loaming disabilitios who playod as part of a t•am in a compotitivo laaguo Structuro.
We continued to maintain excellent partnerships with national and international fumiture and household
goods retailers. With the increase in online sales by these companies, we continued lo receive a supply of
surplus stock as well as customer returns. The goods received through these partnerships provide not
only opportunities for volunteers to undertake accredited training in warehousing. fumiture repair and
construction. but also sUPPOrted employment positions.

The NCRC provided supported employment opportunities lo adults wth learning disabilities andlor mental
health issues using our 5 Step approach. This was supported with funding from Wesl Berkshire Counc¢l
until March and thereafter from NCRC'S self%eneraled income. In common with all other aclivrties, there
was an overall reduction in the number of sessions delivered during the lockthwn Feriods.
We also continued to deliver a scheme aimed at overcoming social isolation for vulnerable members of
the local community by enabling them to engage in the wde variety of activities delivered through our
projects. Funding for this. Mthich had previously been received from Wesl Berkshire Council. was
continued using self-generated income.
The Essential Household fs)ods Scheme IEHGSI operated by the charity c￿ll1nUed to provide a vital
lrfeline for those most in need, wilh demand for its seNices hugely increasing as a result of the pandemic.
Whi15t the NCRC ha5, for many years, provid8J a small number of emergency focll parcels to families in
need, the pandemic again drove a step change in demand and activity levels. Yet again building on
existing partnerships Mqth Fareshare and other food providers, the NCRC established hubs to distribute
food through its Training and Community Support Project IT&CSI and the Community Furniture Project
{Basingstokel.
We continued to work with local schools, providing them Mqth an enhanced allemative cutTiculum
programme for young people outside of mainstream education due to behavioural or emotional problems.
Pupils, all of ￿0M are vulnerable, continued to attend throughout the lockdown peri¢xls.
Tho Givo and Take montoring projoct run by T&CS continued to focus on intergonorational support
between young and older males through delivery of alternative curriculum activities. The project remained
in operats'on, albeit at a reduced level due lo the restiictions.
The NCRC is wholly dependent on the hard work. dedication and commitment of its volunteers in carrwng out its
work in the community. People participate in NCRC volunteering and training activities for a wide range of
reasons and motivations and therefore classfying the status of their involvement changes over time. As stated
below, the relationship with many volunteers changed dramatically as a result of the pandemic. Staff had to
provide on-going and personalised support to mally volunteers who struggled their mental health as a result
of the fear and isolation they were experiencing.
During the reporting year, volunteers donated 52,275 hours of their lime. This is a fall of 42.02% over the
previous year due to the reduction in the number and range of activities that could be run due to Cowd
restn"th"ons. The reduth.on was most pronounced in our work wth schools and corporate volunteer groups.
We could not, of course, operate Mqlhoth the generosity of the Greenham Trust, the thousands of people who
give us items for re-use and the many granl-making INsts, companies, organisalions and indimduals who. with
their generous donations, enable us lo provide a range of services that benefrt those in need in our local
communty.
Community Furnituro Project (Newbury)
The Project's much-used furniture and household goods re-use setvice. together with its livety volunteering
opportunities, continued lo operate despite the additional challenges. Our Project enables people to donate items
knowng that they Mqll be put lo good use in helping other5 to improve their living conditions and benefiting the

During the year, we had 82,276 customer visits to the project, supplied 17,653 individuals and families with
essents'al household items, Teceived 7.483 donations and diverted 254.25 tonnes of material from landfill.
It has been a continuing theme since the creation of the project that the mosl vulnerable people assisted are
those who are previously homeless and trying to set up home having secured accommodation, or else victims of
domestic violence who are also trying lo restart their lives, or people who. due to mental health issues, live
chaotic lives. The arrival of the pandemic exacerbated the problems these people face even further. Staff and
volunteers ensured that throughout the year. those in most urgent need were supported with the essenlial goods
they needed in a timely, friendly and effiaent manner. Many cases, including those who needed all items of
fumiture. electrical and househc4d goods to set up home. had thw'r needs met wthin an hour of the request being
received.
Forty two people engaged in training and volunteering opwrtunities at the project, contributing a total of 8.132
hours of their time. VolLtnteer5 ranged in age from 14 10 91.

CFP Newbury has ahvays been run like a family and welcomes volunteers from all walks of lrfe. The team is

feelings of loneliness, Isolation and depression.

The project continued lo coordinate all the NCRC'S logistics activities and Covid response wthin West Berkshire,
including operating the EHGS scheme. In addition, il also managed and coordinated activities with the major
fumiture retailers that supwt the NCRC.
The EHGS Scheme operated by the project is the only recourse for assistance for those in our local community
who are most in need of the essentials needed to set up and maintain a safe home. Due to the Covid 19
pandemic, the scheme saw a 3301k> increase in dernand, leading to nearfy 70QA of the annual budget of £35,OCHJ
being expended Mqlhin the first eleven weeks from the 1st of April 2020. The additional demand arose out of the
incTeased number of homeless people being placed in pefmanenl accommcKJation. viclims of domestic violence
being resettled, vulnerable elderly people being identified through fo￿1 provision and families in financial
distress. Additional funding of £40.559 was generously provided during the year through the Greenham Trust

Community Furniture Project (Basingstoke)
The Project, like the Newbury Project, provides pracfical support for people through fumiture, household goods
and appliance re-use, Ic•Jether wth varied volunteering, supported volunteering and accredited training
opportunities.
The Project had 14,923 customer wsits through the door (previous year 34.7591, supplied 4,927 individuals and
familios with 0s9ontial housahold items Iprovious yoar 9,857}, rocoivod 3,967 donatsons Iprovious yoar 5.4281
and diverted 194 tonnes of material from landfill (prewou5 year 2711- From the beginning of the first lockdown,
photos were taken of all the remaining stock. Custrmers were advised, via our Fo￿bOOk page and notices on
the front door of the shop. that if they called or emailed, we could send them the photos and provide a 'click and
collect, seryice for purchases.
Eighty nine people engaged in training and volunteering opportunities at the Project over the c￿r5e of the year.
This was a massive reduction from the 442 who participated in the previous year. The introduction of the first
lockdown ￿inCIded with the planned annual COM￿enCernenI of a large Series of volunteering and training
events. The majority of the volunteer5 who were scheduled to participate were required to self-i501ate due to their
Vulnera￿lity or were from schools who cancelled all external activities.
Those who were able to participate during the year did, however, including 50 volunteers wqth high support needs
who undertook a range of training and volunteering roles such as furniture repair, warehouse operations, bicycle
repair and retail acb"vilies. In total 10,349 hours of volunteering was undertaken during the year.
The Project has a strong focus cm working wth yourKJ people facing a range of personal challenges. As repcmtted
above, this was severely curtailed during the yeai due to the restrictions in place. Nonetheless. through a
combination of remote and face-to-face sessions, we continued to provide accredited leaming and employability
support throughout tho year. In all, dosplto tho chaI￿n90$, 13 voluntoors wor• assistod back into omploymont.
The project is largely delivered by volunteer mentors.
During the lockdowns we worked closely with local Housing Associations to support those most in need. This
included fumishing a total of 16 flats, so that homeless people could be housed.
When restrictions allowed, the Youth Mentoring project continued to support vulnerable young people to engage
in a range of activities. wth by far the most popular being bicycle repair and maintenan￿. Participants also
undertook accredited training in reupholstery. w0)￿ork and electrical repair, supported by our team of

Case study- Boosting the selfaconfidence of a vulnerable volunteer
PM has volunteered wth GFP Basingstoke for over 10 years. He has a history of ￿ntaI heaflh problems
and struggled lo find a niche for himself at first bu¢ he always felt relaxed when he was volunteering there.
He fett he was in the company of pecple who understocrfj him.
The Coronavirus Ic¢kdowns have proved difficult lor a lol of CFP Basingstoke's volunteers a￿1 PM was one
of the vc4unleers the team were most concerned aboul.
Al the kginning of the first lockd¢)wn period, PM started posting pictures of arNvork he had painted on his
Fa￿book page. He had onty recenuy started to paint but his work showed a real talent.
Having been impressed by his work and wlh con￿rn for his mental health in mind, CFP Basingsloke's
Project Manager asked PM rf he would like to painl a mural in the shop. He was very keen and was able to
come and go as he F4eased as the premises was empty during lockdcwn. His enthusiasm led to five murals
being produced, each one depicting a different Basing5toke landmark. Images of the murals appeared on
his Facebook page and slowly he began to gel a few more commissions.
CFP Basingstoke provided PM with the opportunity to develop his new found skill and helped to pr￿te him
through their connections in the local area. As a result, PM has now been asked lo paint a mural in the
ne￿Y extended psychiatric hosprtal %there he was once a patient. CFP Basingstoke has also offered to host
an evening exhibition of his work as part of the next Basingstoke Arts Festival.
PM has found a new lease of life and his self-confidence has been boosted through his arfftrk. He has
inspired other vulnerable volunteers to develop their artistic talents too. Several volunteers are painting
pictures whilst shieldirKJ at home. which will te displayed in the canteen area of the shop when they are *)le
to retum.
The Project continued to participate in the Fareshare scheme, operating as a hub for charities in Basingsloke
and Deane by receiving weekly deliveries of surplus food from the Fareshare operator in Southampton and
distributing il lo eight charities in the Borough. The Project also operates a fully equipped kf(chen, which allows
the preparation of fresh meals daily and training for many participants in the project in basic cookery skills. From
the beginning of the first lockdown, the project supplied food parcels, initially for volLEnteers to help them self-
isolate. but it then grew exponentially, wth referra15 being received from Housing Associations, schools and local
councillors. A total of 257 people were being assisted each week during the height of the demand during the first
l¢xkdown. At the end of the reporting period, weekty food parcels were being provided for 139 individuals.
During the year we worked in partnership with a wide range of organisations. including the Basingsloke

We continued to work in partnership with the Env¢ronmental Departments of Basingstoke and Deane Borough
Council and Hart District Council. The Project delivers access to reuse services for their residents, predominantly
through the operation of a bulky white goods collection serwce in both Council areas. The service was
suspended during the first lockdown, which led lo a very large backlc>J having to be cleared. During subsequent
lockdowns, the service continued on a strictly So￿allY distanced basis.
Training and Community Support IT&CSI
T&CS, based at Bone Lane in Newbury, focuses on the delivery of seNices for adults wth complex learning
disabilities, people with mental health issues and young people nol engaged in mainstream education. SeNices
include opportunities for individuals to learn practical. transferable skills and build relationships in a flexible,
supportive environment. We seek to inspire them to'think big. in temis of what they can achieve.
The Project continued to provide a range of opportunities for the most vulnerable members of our community to
engage in supported volunteering. T&CS operates the woo¢thNork, fumiture, electrical and bicycle workshops that
produce finished goods for the shop. In addition, T&CS also delivers a range of accredtted training courses,
including forklrft truck training and cookery. Delivered in a supportive environment, these courses give
oppothnilies to people who might not otherwse readily access training.
In response lo demand, the project continued to provide a day service throughout the lockdowns. In addition, it
also provided land continues to do sol phone support for families and carers and runs online chat groups to
keep supported volunteers engaged wth their peers. As the first I￿kdOWn continued, what were inits'ally ￿N￿hoUr

playing darts (including competitive matches against our Basingstoke Project), cooking. going bomding. or to the
cinema and combining aclimtieslsports Mqth healthy living ideas. The Project also runs tyvo football teams that
compete in the Berks. Bucks and Oxon Social Inclusion Fcx)Iball League as well as playing friendly matches
against other local and regional teams.
Our participants are predominantly adults and young people {aged 14-19} with leaming disabilities, adults with
physical disabilities and adults with mental health issues. We work in partnership with organi5ations such as
West Berkshire Training Consorbum. West Berkshire Council's Adult Services team, local GP practices and
schools lo provide opportunities for these grryjps to participate in meaningful work experience, training and
volunteering activities.
When and where appropriate, integration of the above groups is encouraged as it leads to a more rewarding and
cohesive experience. It also assists understsnding of many different peer groups_ Support is provided based on
an on4Joing assessment of an individual's requirernents, wlh a focus on maximising independence. This may
require 1..1 support on occasion {which we provide). In addition to the opportunities offered, the Project also
operates transport that enables people to access the Project even from the most remote rural areas of the
District, both during th• day and for ovoning ovonts.
As well as the wide range of supported volunteering and training activities. T&CS also delivered the ROAR and
Pulling Together schemes (see below}.
The ROAR Project supports people leaming and physical disabilitie5 by engaging in countryside and
environmental maintenance activities, such as footpath clearance. The ROAR group is responsible for keeping
96 footpaths across Wesl Berkshire clear of litter and obstruction from encroaching hedges and trees. In
addition, the team also operate a rapid response service for West Berkshire Council to clear instances of low
volume fly tipping. The Project is widely acknowtedged as an example of the posi*"ve impact people wth very
complex disabilities can have in their community when they are well supported by trained and experienced staff
and volunteers. As Nvilh all activities, the group's actiirylies were severely curtailed through most of the year.

The Pulling Together user-led mental health group continued to provide a series of activities in different settings
which enable people with mental health issues to take progressive steps towards returning to, or entering, a work
environment. Activities are mostly member-led and include opportunities lo engage in arts and crafts. sports
activities, social events and basic cookery. These sessions benefit from the inpul of an NCRC Mentoring Officer.
In additson, people are able to access all the other training Opp￿initieS offered by the NCRC. Thirty-three
Feople Mqth mental health issues engaged wth us during the year.
The bicycle reuse project - Rebike - repaired and reused 346 bikes during the year. The project is ents'Tely
volunteer-run and as well as supwrting volunteers disabilities. f( works Mith young people have been
excluded from school or require additional support outside mainstream schooling. The project also supports a
number of schools by providing bikes to enable pupils from more remote areas lo cycle to school, as well as
bicycle maintenance training for junior school pupils. During the pandemic, a number of homeless people were
placed in hotel accommcxlation by the local authorFty in order to isotate away from the centre of town. We
supplied 32 of them with bicycles free of charge to enable them to access other serwces and appointments.
We are also an AITT Accredited Training and Exarnination Centre for Fork Lift Truck Operation which enables
us to support trainees in their progression into work.
The Give and Take Project supports young men aged 14 to 24. The young participants can be broadty
described as either being in PRUS, having been excluded from a Unit land not accessing any form of education)
or ￿ing supported by Home Education {as they surrer from severe anxiety). In essence, we deal with the bullies
and the bullied. We also work Mrith Young Offenders and those in foster care. Volunteer Mentors work alongside
their younger colleagues lo assist them in developiig improved strategies for the conduct of their lives going
fonward. Tho 'typical' Mantor is agod 45
85 and is oithor a ratirod tradesmanlprofossional or skillod
enthusiasvhobbyist, wth the younger Mentors usually long temi unemployed and seeking to r&enter work.
The Kitchenwise training kitchen provided opportunities for volunteers and trainees to develop independent
living skills by producing a range of nutritious meals throughout Ihe week.
Participants in Kitchenwse also assisted in the running of the Newbury Toy Appeal which is run in partnership
with Swift Couriers. Over 300 families were supplied wth new Christmas presents generously donated by the
public through collection wints at local supermarkets.
A5 reported above, in response to the impact of the pandemic. the Training and Communty Support Project
established a hub to distribute food. Three fomis of food support were offered=
1)
Food parcels for indiwduals and families referred to us either by Statutory Agencies or the Voluntary
Sector. We simply required that referrers confimi that the personlfamily was in need and that they had
given ￿mil$s1on for their contact number and address lo be provided to us in order that we could call
them direcuy. We then delivered a food parcel on the same day in most instances and then contacted
the recipient weekly lo establish rf they requiroj a further parcel.
2)
Direct referrals fr￿￿ members of Ihe public. either self-idenlifying or on beI￿lf of another personlfainily.
Support was provided as in111 above. Where it was apparent that a personlfamily was in need of
support beyond simply receipt of a food parcel. we contacted West Berkshire Council's Adult SLxial Care
Department and relayed our concems.
3)
Food was received from a range of sources that we have worked with over the past five years through
our Kitchenwse project. most notably Fare5hare (which provided by far the bulk of goods distribuledl,
Waitrose, Tesco, Aldi. M&S and the Cctrop. The bulk of the food we distributed was sOUr￿d through
Fareshare, supplemented by purchases when required. On occasion we received large volumes of dairy
items along Mqth other fresh produce (yoghurt, fruit juice, cheese, meal etc.). We made these surpluses
available to other organisations and groups who were also dislribu*ing food. A proportion of what we
received was in the fomi of catering packs, so it was best suited lo projects Mthich prepare meals {such
as Fairclose, Loose Ends and the Soup Kilchenl. In order to ensure that we could make best use of
these items, we hired a freezer and a refrigeraEed trailer to supplement our existing storage capacity.

We purchased a 3.5 tonne refrigerated vehide in order to maximize the amount ol fresh food collected
from Fareshare. We were then able lo deliver chilled food to other food distiibutors directly, thereby
maintaining the ccy)I chain.
We also distiibuted food from our Community Furniture Project in Basingsloke, which operates the
Fareshare hub for the Borough. This food came from sO￿hamPton and usualty consisted of different
items to those received in Newbury. Stock was exchanged belween Projects to ensure that we were
able to provide the best possible range of fwd.
A number of people who were initially supported made new arrangements with friends and neighbours to
support them with their shopping once the initial shortages were overcome. They were assured that
should they have an immediate need, we would assist. This proved fortuitous as there were a number of
cases where a55iStance wa5 required in the short temi when their'helper, also fell into difficulties.
In response to a request from the West Berkshire Tageled Intervention se￿ICe. we made up a large
number of craft kits for young children which were distributed regularly over a tsvctrmonth perioj. We also
supplied sunfflower and tomato plants for them to grow on.
We supplied large amounts of textiles to local groups making sctubs and scrubs bags.
We continued to make weekly phone calls to each Tecipient lo ask rfthey still Tequired a food delwery or
any other support. There remains a substantial number who identify as being in need and we are
working with them and the original referral agency to agree a prccess that will move them on to a more
sustainabla way of socuring thoir fo¢)d noods. In many casos, this will bo by sUppO￿ng thom diroctly
through training so a5 to support their move in to employment andlor sign posting them to debt
counselling and ensuring that they are in re￿Ipt of all benefits to which they are entilled.
A total of 813 people benefrted direcdy. It cannot be determined how many people benefited from the fo￿1
(knnated lo other ¢xganisalions but this can be reasonably estimated to be in excess of 500 people.
A total of 112 people engaged in volunteering and training activities., eighty*ighl percent of participants had a
disability. Volunteers contributed a total of 18,490 houts of their time in support of the work.
Growing 2gether
The Growng 2gether Project is based on a 1.5 ha site at Cottismore Park near Kingsclere. The srte contains
greenhouses, a polytunnel, raised beds, an orchard and a Wildltfe Educats"on Area. The project is supported by
the Greenham Trust, which owns the site.
Growng 2gether functions primarily as a horticultural therapy and environmental education centre adults and
young people with leaming disabiif(ies, physical disabilrties and mental health issues. It also functions as a fo￿1
growing hub for all members of the local community. but in particular. children.
Despite the pandemic disruptions, the Growing 2gether Project was again very well supported by its volunteers,
with 145 people engaging in training and volunteering opportunities at the Project over the course of the year.
This included 44 volunteers wlh high support needs. No corporate volunteers attended as all planned days were
cancelled either as a result of lockdown or companies cancelling all extemal events involmng their staff. The
volunteers donated a total of 15.305 hours of their tirne.
The project focuse5 in particular on working wth vulnerable adults, children and families facing a range of
complex challenges. 80 155%) of the participants were under 16 years of age, wlh 44 of them requiring
additional personal support. The project, whose ath"vrties follow the seasonalty of horticulture, was greatly
impacted by the restricts.ons in play during the year, not least in preventing planting during the spring growing
season.

The Nature Knowledge project (supported by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council) is run by our Education
Officer. who is a ITained Forest Schools teacher. The project offers sessions for local primary schools and
children's groups. focusing on teaching children about nature and wildlife through outdoor play. One of the most
pular elements of the outdoor experience provided through Nature Knomdedge is observing, 1dent1￿.ng and
understanding lrfe in an aquatic habitat using the man-made pond on site. It goes wilhoul saying that the number
of sessions was greatly reduced.
The project also undertakes grounds maintenance at the New Greenham Business Park {a 114 acre srtel and a
number of other smaller sites around Newbury. This is undertaken in order to deliver opportunities for volunteers
and trainees to undertake accredited training and develop a range of skills, including landscaping. site
maintenance, arboriculture and basic mechanical plant maintenance. Unlike the majority of other acts'vities, this
continued uninterrupted throughout the year.
Staff and volunteer5 were very innovative in their pursuit of continuing the programme of gromqng seasonal fruit
and vegetables, as well a5 plants and flowers. These are Usual￿ offered for sale al the NCRC'S furniture
projects, local markets and lo visitors to the site. We also usually supply a small number of local wllage markets.
With possibility of running Open Day3 and all sales outlets closed, staff quickly designed and implemented
basic click and deliver service which enabled their customers lo again enjoy flowers in their gardens. Ml rtems
were delivered lo the customers, front doors. The pioject also donated and delivered a large number of flowers
for the residents of four WBC Care Homes to plant in their gardens
A large derelict greenhouse was removed and work commenced on replacing it with ￿ smaller polytunnels and
a deer-proof growing area.
RENEWAL Project
RENEWAL is based around the urban stretch of the river Lamboum in Newbury, induding the Clay Hill and
Turnpike wards, areas of Newbury with a high proportion of disadvantaged residents. The project aims lo involve
the local community in the history and ecology of the river by running a range of activities for local adults and
children. including talks, guided walks. practical conservatson tasks and training courses. There was a minimal
level of activity throughoul the year due to the river being flooded in the wynler and then the lockdown
disproportionately reducing volunteer numbers due shielding requirements. A significant number of the
volunteers are aged over 70.
The Project operates a Forest School at a six-acre wood at Shaw in Newbury which provide5 children wth an
edLEcalion in the importance of biodiversity and wldlrfe for the future, using outdoor play and learning. This
involves the children in habitat building, river dipping and the identification of wildlife as well as leaming about
environmental stewardship.

been destined for landfill. This has Produced an estirnated carbon credit of 1,243 tonnes of C02e.
(Based on figures supplied by the REalliance partnership with WRAP and Defra. Please note these do not
include carbon savings from not having to remanufacture).
Financial Review
Incoming resources durirKJ the year increased by £86,79416.14%1, with total resources expended increasing by
£57,560 14.10QknI, resulting in a surplus of £38,323 {2019: surplus of £9,089}. 98_11LhTr of total resources
expended were direct costs of charitable aclivities in line with the 0￿.ectiveS of the organisation.
The charity raised 62.7501fr of its income {£940,517) through primary purpose trading during the year with a
£178,150 116%} fall in incomo on tho pr•vious yoar duo to closure of its trading activities undor Covid

payable under the agreement relating to the deficit. This was a reduction in the year of £9.706.
Reseprfes
The Trustees believe that the charity $￿Uld hold financial reserves because=
1) It has no endowment funding and is entirely dependent for income upon donor funding and sales income fr(Kn
year lo year which is inevitably subject to fluctuation.. and
2) It requires protecti(m against and the ability to continue oFerating despite catastrophic or lesser but damaging
events.
The trustees believe that the minimum level of reserves should be equivalent to three months operating costs.
Costs of c105ure and costs of clearing leasehold oblgalions calculated and reviewed annually, and believe that
the reserves should be built up to the desired level in stages consistent with the chariws overall financial position
and its need to develop and maintain its charitable activibes.
The free reserves, i.e. those not tied up in fixed assets and restricted funds, held at 30th November 2020,
amounted lo £107,252, whereas three months. expenditure {excluding depreciation} is £286,998.

Fundraising
The NCRC limits fundraising actiwty to applications to funders who publically promote themselves as providers
of grant support lo charities. In order to ensure that such applications are not overly speculative, the organisation
subscribes lo a number of directories which provide updated information on active funders and the criteria they
apply in availing support to applicants. The NCRC does nol carry out direct marteting to individuals, but does
accept donations freely offered by the public.
The charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and abides by the Code of Fundraising Practice.
Safeguarding

of any kind and recognises its responsibility to safeguard the weware of all children, young people and vulnerable
adults. by a commitment to praclice which protects them.
The NCRC provides staff and volunteers wlh on-going training and guidance on procedures they should adopt in
the event that they suspect a child, young person or vulnerable adult may be exFerFencing, or be at risk of, hami.
The NCRC also has policies and procedures to deter those unsubtable to work wth children and vulnerable
Jults, including an application process that takes up references and carries out DBS checks on staff and
volunteers where applicable.
NCRC bo1iov•s that tho wolfaro of childron, young pooplo and vulnerablo adults takos priority ovor tho
individual's right to confidenlialty, and we have a duty to disclose abuse to the appropriate agency if deemed
necessary, without consent. In these circumstances, the Confidentialty Policy as sel out in the NCRC Code of

2.15 Pensions
The company operates a defined benefrt pension scheme. The scheme is a multi-employer scheme
vthere it is not possible, in the nomial Goufse of events. to identffty on a Gonsistent and reasonable
basis, the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employer5.
Therefore, as required by FRS102 'Retirement and post-employment benefits,, the compary
accounts for this scheme as if it was a defined contribution scheme. The company is under obligation
to make payments to fund the deficit on the scheme, and as SLEch the net present value of these
contributions are recrynised as a liability. Any change in the liabilty is reco3nised as an expense in
the Statement of Financial ActiMties_
The company also operates a defined contribution pension scheme for those staff not eligible lo join
the Social Housing Pension Scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the Statement
of Financial Activities.
2.16 Operating leases
Renta15 paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activitie5 on a straight
line basis over the lease term.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
E5timate5 and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expec&itions of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Crrtical accountirKJ estimates and assumptions=
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting
estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumpts'ons that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilitses within the next financial year are discussed below.
Critical areas of judgment=
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where
appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary
depending on a number of factors. Residual value assessments consider issues such as the remaining
life of the asset and projected disposal values.
Pensions
The present value of the Social Housing Pension Scheme defined benefit liability depends on a number of
factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. The assumptions used in
detemiining Ihe nel cost lincomel for pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these
assumptions. which are disclosed in note 22. will impact the carrying amount of the pension liability.
Furthemiore a roll forward approach wthich projects results from the latest full actuarial valuation
performed at 30 September 2014 has been used by the actuary in valuing the pensions liability at 30
November 2020. Any differences between the figures derived from the roll forwards approach and a full
actuarial valuation would impact on the carrwng amount of the pensHJn liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020
Pension comrnilments
The company participates in the scheme, a rnulti-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 5
non-associated employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the
company to obtain sufficient infomiation to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit
scheme. Therefore il accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.
The scheme 15 subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into for
on 30 December 2005. This, together Mqth documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical
Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Counal, set out the framework for funding defined
benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.
The scheme is classnled as a 'last-man standng 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 Mqthdrawal 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 with an effective date of 30 September 2014. This
actuarial valuation was certified on 23 November 2015 and showed assets of £3,123m. liabilities of
£4,446m and a deficit of £1,323m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the trustees and the participating
employers have agreed that additional contributions will be paid, in combination from all employer5. to the
scheme.
Note that the scheme's previous valuation w8s carried out ￿ryth an effective date of 30 September 2011.,
this valuation was certified on 17 December 2012 and showed assets of £2,062m. liabilities of £3,097m
and a deficit of £1,035m. To eliminate this funding shortfall. the trustees and the participating employers
have agreed that additional contributions Mqll be paid, in combination from all employee5, to the scheme.
Where the scheme is in deficit and there the company has agreed lo a deficit fiJnding arrangement, the
company recognises a liabilty for this obligab"on. The amount recognised is the net present value of the
deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreemerbl that relates to the defickt. The present value is
calculated using the discount rale detailed in these disclosures. The unmqnding of the discount rate is
recognised as a finance cost.
