## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_
(a) To provide charitable transport facilities in North Broxtowe* for people who cannot use public transport because they are elderly, poor or disabled;
(b) The promotion of social inclusion in North Broxtowe amongst elderly or disabled, who are excluded or isolated from society because of age or infirmity;
(c) The relief of poverty in North Broxtowe by the provision of a Food Bank;
(d) To provide other charitable services from time to time as the trustees see fit;
(e) To recruit and support the work of volunteers to carry out these services.
* (North Broxtowe includes Awsworth, Brinsley, Cossall, Eastwood, Kimberley, Newthorpe, Nuthall, Watnall and surrounding areas.)
## _**Public benefit**_
Our aims are met by 3 core schemes:
1. Community Transport Scheme;
2. Be-A-Friend Scheme;
3. Food Parcel distribution scheme.
The Community Transport scheme continues to grow and we currently have 314 clients registered as at the end of March 2024. This remains a very valued service for the community which provides affordable transport for the elderly and those unable to use public transport. At the end of this year we had a total of 10 volunteer drivers, an increase of 4 over the last year.
Our Be-A-Friending Scheme continues to grow and at the end of the financial year we had 12 volunteers visiting 13 clients. This important service arranges for volunteers to visit the isolated amd lonely in the local community.
The Food Bank which is now open every Friday, continues to grow supplying up to 60 parcels each week.
We continue to support organisations like VAB (Voluntary Action Broxtowe), BWP (Broxtowe Womens Project), Eastwood Mental Health Group, Eastwood People's Inititiative, Framework & CGL (Change Grow Live).
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**
This last year has been difficult as our long time manager retired last May. We have appointed Rachel Laurenson as our new manager.
Our Be-A-Friend Scheme is working as normal. It has the Accreditation organised by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations's Mentoring and Befriending Foundation.
The Transport Scheme is still providing a great service to the community, however we do experience an ongoing issue with shortage of volunteer drivers.
The Food Bank continues to be very busy and we can distribute up to 240 parcels a month.
In the present financial climate, we believe this can only get worse as so many people are struggling to feed themselves and their families. This increased demand has put an enormous strain on finances of the Food Bank as donations cannot cover the food required and our previous large stock is now depleted. Fortunately we have been supported by many small charities. The local community and supermarkets have been extremely generous with donations of food.
We still have the use of a storage container situated next to the bureau. We have had a range of shelving installed in one of our rooms for the use of the Food Bank. Our volunteers continue to make up the food parcels on a weekly basis ready for being handed out.
During the last year we have tried to increase our income from Room Rental and this is now showing some good results.
All involved in the Eastwood Volunteer Bureau are committed and passionate about the work of the bureau. We believe that we have a responsibility to run all of our schemes with efficiency whilst keeping a careful eye upon the most economic use of our limited resources.

## **Trustees Report**
## **Financial review**
After a difficult year we have been able to maintain our financial position at a similar level to last year. Our Room Rental income is beginning to improve and we have been able to attract various grants to help the Bureau.
We have had a small grant for the transport scheme from Notts county council of £1,070.
## _**Policy on reserves**_
Our reserves policy includes:
In line with good current practice in the event of closure, the Eastwood Volunteer Bureau will aim to hold sufficient reserves to :
1. Honour its liabilities to staff, suppliers and other organisations.
2. Have sufficient funds to continue normal operations.
Reserves Estimate as at 31/03/2024
a. Closure costs Redundancy £3,555 Notice costs £ 1,140 Unpaid salary costs £526 Residual holiday ( Ave 1 wk) £263 TOTAL £5,484
Contracts – photocopier Grenke Leasing Ltd Started on 27/9/2023
18 Payments @ £454.75 per quarter = £8,185.50
Operating cash flow £13,000
TOTAL £26,669
## _**Principal risks and uncertainties**_
## _Funding of our schemes_
The funding of our schemes continues to be a cause for concern as we are dependent on charitable funding.
We are very grateful to all our funders. We rely on these organisations to continue our charitable work. We would like to thank Nottinghamshire County Council for £4,640, Eastwood Town Council £750, B and E Hutsby £200, Broxtowe Borough Council £1,000, Barrat Homes £3,000, Thoresby Lodge £140.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Eastwood Volunteer Bureau ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 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.

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)].

## **Eastwood Volunteer Bureau**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of preparation**
Eastwood Volunteer Bureau 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**
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the 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 11
## **Eastwood Volunteer Bureau**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **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.
## **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.
## **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** Computer equipment 33.3% straight line
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **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.
## **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.
Page 12
## **Eastwood Volunteer Bureau**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **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.
