## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2024**
The VCA trustees, who are the 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 31st March 2024. 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 102.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The objectives of Vanbrugh Community Association are: 'to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the London Borough of Greenwich and especially the Blackheath, Westcombe and adjoining wards by furthering their education, social welfare and leisure opportunities as a means of improving their quality of life, and specifically by managing a community venue to provide a base for activities which will help achieve those objectives'.
## **Main activities for public benefit**
Affiliated to the VCA are 31 Private Member groups. The activities of the groups fit largely within the categories of Healthy & Wellbeing, Arts and Culture and Children and Education. The range of activities provided includes physical exercise, mental health, visual arts, music, singing, nature and conservation, dance, senior citizen activities, local history, science appreciation, judo, martial arts, weight control, acting and theatre skills, languages, and healing. The house also provides facilities for a children's pre-school nursery and creative education, hosts meetings, training sessions and conferences for professional organisations, provides classroom facilities for international schools and space for the RBG & NHS Social Services family contact sessions, counselling, and mental health support services, as well as being a Polling Station in National and Local Elections. There are two community organisations which have offices in the house and there are two artists in residence. In addition, the VCA organises its own programme of cultural events which include live music, theatre and visual arts, fairs, and talks.
Our now well-established and impactful Reach Out Project works to tackle and reduce social isolation, inequality, and supports diversity in our local community through offering wellbeing, social activities, support and access to services.
The VCA is also a partner in the Friends of Mycenae Gardens and their annual Parksfest event and the Westcombe Society's various fundraising events, including the MacMillan Coffee Morning. Mycenae House has a licensed café bar for the use of user groups and visitors, with free Wi-Fi.
## **How our activities deliver Social value**
When accepting bookings and planning activities at the Centre, we strive to comply with the VCA's mission, it's social value commitments and requirements in accordance the Service Level Agreement with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Section 4 of the Charities Act 2016 and the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on Social Value.
The general principles that we adhere to are:
- Affiliated group activities and other regular hirers must provide a clear public benefit which gives a social, educational, health and/or wellbeing benefit to participating residents of the Ward and the Borough.
- Private Members hire activities must also create a public benefit and make a positive contribution to the finances of the Centre.
- Provide low cost, suitable and accessible spaces and resources for community development and social needs.
- Aim to develop accessible popular events and social opportunities for the benefit of residents of the Ward and the Borough, particularly the socially excluded and vulnerable communities.
- The VCA/Mycenae House are signatories of and committed to the principles of the Royal Borough of Greenwich's Equality and Equity Charter.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Achievement & performance**
The operational and financial year of 2023/24 has been a story of slow build and continued recovery. Its has also we one of resetting the strategic aims and the ambitions of the organisation to reflect the new post Covid and Cost of Living challenges.
.
The key factors affecting the year are: -
1. Continued recovering from the effects of the Covid and Cost of Living Crises
2. Rebuilding the customer base and community confidence
3. Reacting to and rebuilding a smaller customer and income base
4. Adapting to the massive cost of Utilities (Gas Electric. & Water) and increase in the cost of goods.
5. We still have a viable business with strong demand from the community/public.
Our Reach Out Project is a targeted programme to tackle social isolation and the vulnerable and disadvantaged amongst our community. The demand for these services has grown dramatically since the Covid lockdown. Our programme relies on partnership working with external specialists which present a challenge as many partners are reducing their activity.
We are actively seeking more financial support to meet the demand.
The Café bar has remained a vibrant and resilient part of the organisation, with income remaining strong despite major increases in costs from suppliers. We Increased our prices by as much as to 5% during this time. Our own and partnership-based arts and cultural programme has continued at a reasonable level but with slightly smaller audiences over the last 3 year. We have operated with an acute lower risk-taking approach. The number of partners has got smaller but over the last few months there is a trend for audiences returning to events in larger numbers.
The staff team have remained positive and committed during this time and faced head on the many challenges. It is a source of pride that collectively we provide a very warm, welcoming, and supporting environment to all. The staff numbers have remained consistent, and we are pleased not to have had to make any staff redundant.
Operationally, administratively, and promotionally we have maintained a 'service as usual' atmosphere which has been warmly welcomed by others. All marketing and promotional activities have continued as normal.
## **Management and administration**
We have maintained an effective operation with regular board meetings, made quorate with the help of Zoom's online services to help everyone attend. The support for staff and organisation by the board has been very welcome. The administrative and financial operations have remained fully functional with close attention being paid by staff to the future bookings, cashflow and financial management. It has remains difficult to plan with any confidence for longer term operations, due to fluctuating and twitchy external circumstances.
## **Maintenance, repairs and improvements**
We continued to maintain the infrastructure and fabric of the inside of the centre as required by our Tenancy at Will contract with RBG. The outside of the building is the responsibility of RBG who have limited resources to maintain it. We from time to time to undertake maintenance on the outside of the building, for example repair to sash windows and external fire escape which present major health and safety threats to users and visitors.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The policy of the VCA is to hold financial reserves that, at minimum, are equivalent to the total operating costs of Mycenae House for a period of six months. For the year to March 2022 the Trustees considered that the appropriate level for the reserve was £150,000; this figure is reviewed on an annual basis. The risks covered by the reserve have been identified as:
- the loss/reduction of core funding from the Royal Borough of Greenwich and
- a reduction in Centre usage resulting in loss of income.
- the Santander account is currently locked due to the deposit mandate being inoperable after all original signators being ill or deceased. Currently the manager is working with Santander to resolve the issue
In addition, we continue to hold a Capital Works Reserve Fund to cover the anticipated cost of future major improvements, we will seek to undertake to Mycenae. The main component of this programme will be the installation of a passenger lift to provide easy access to all floors of the building for all our users, visitors, and staff.

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2024**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Investment policy and objectives**
The Trustees continue to take the view that bank deposits, savings bonds and building society savings accounts best meet the need for securing some return on our financial reserves for a minimum of risk. In these uncertain times the income from investments and interest has reduced to being largely negligible and this strategy is under constant review.
## **Overall position**
The organisation experienced another non-typical financial year, largely as a result of the continued challenges of post Covid, the Cost of Living Crisis and associated financial effects. However, the business turnover increased from £439,037 in 2022/23 to £459,736 in 2023/24.
The costs of delivering services increased from £465,702 in the previous fiscal year to £467,785.
The balance of our income and expenditure was £(26,665) in 2023, down to £(8,049) in 2024.
Whilst this is a disappointing outcome for any normal yearly operation, we feel it is a result of continued external circumstances and which are modest under the circumstances.
Room and Hall hire increased from £269,681 to £277,211.
The income from Café/Bar sales increased from £124,136 to £142,136.
Our General reserve stands at a total of £322,724.
## **Principal sources of income**
The VCA receives core funding from the Royal Borough of Greenwich and occupies Mycenae House Community Centre, rent free under a Tenancy at Will lease from them.
Further income is produced from room rental to user groups, commercial hirers and from private functions such as weddings and birthday parties. Income is also produced from sales in the café bar facilities. In-kind funding is welcomed and is received from various sources.
The organisation applies for project funding from various sources on a project-by-project basis from Trusts, Foundations, Government sources and through general fundraising.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
For the future our plans include: - - To plan for Recovery, Resilience and Sustainability in a new environment which we believe will prevail for several years yet.
- We aim to be able to draw up an ambitious, full blown business plans covering the 2025 - 2028 period. Until the board are confident to do so we will generate plans on a year-by-year basis.
- We will develop and strengthen our work in the areas of Social Isolation & Equality for Vulnerable and Disadvantaged community members through the Reach Out Project model.
- We will continue to develop strong and supportive partnerships with other organisations to deliver our work.
- Undertaking more direct fundraising, particularly with trusts and foundations, to support our programme and our building development objectives.
- We aim to better support our staff through training and role development.
- We aim to deliver the installation of the long-needed lift given the generous financial support from the Greenwich Neighbourhood Growth Fund (GNGF).
- We will continue our negotiations with Royal Borough of Greenwich for a long lease for the Mycenae House building which will give us security, allowing us to fulfil the need for a lift to all floors.
- We will consolidate the great work and support of the trustees they have provided the staff and organisation through difficult times.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Vanbrugh Community Association**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Vanbrugh Community Association ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2024.
## **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 member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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.
