Structure, Governance and Management
Objectives
Citizens Advice Colchester (CAC) provides free, confidential, impartial, and independent advice and information for the benefit of the local community. It aims to exercise an influence on the development of social policies and services, and to ensure that individuals do not suffer through a lack of knowledge or an inability to express their needs effectively.
Governing Document
Citizens Advice Colchester is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. The maximum liability of each member is limited to one pound. At 31st March 2021 the company had 37 members (31st March 2021, _ 37 members). CAC is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association as adopted on Ist April 2004, which have since been partially amended by various special resolutions since that time.
Colchester Citizens Advice Bureau was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 3rd May 2002. The company commenced operations on 1st April 2004, at which date the assets and liabilities of the Colchester Citizens Advice Bureau (unincorporated association) were acquired.
In line with service wide changes and national re-branding, the term 'Bureau' was removed from the company name. The organisation formally changed its name by special resolution in February 2016 to Citizens Advice Colchester.
Organisational Structure
Citizens Advice Colchester is governed by its Trustee Board which is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organisation and the policy of the charity. The Trustees carry the ultimate responsibility for the conduct of CAC and for ensuring that the charity satisfies its legal and contractual obligations. Trustees meet as a minimum every two months or more frequently if necessary and delegate the day-to-day operation of the organisation to senior management. There are a number of sub-committees, such as the finance sub-committee, and working groups are formed as required. The Trustee Board is independent from management. A register of members’ interests is maintained online, and is available to the public,
Recruitment, Appointment of Trustees
Trustees, who are also Directors of the Company, are recruited for vacancies on the basis of the necessary skills to complement the existing lead roles within the Board, and where possible the Board's profile reflects that of the community which it serves. Potential candidates are interviewed and attend a board meeting prior to being invited to join. The Trustee Board oversees the election process for Board appointments and atthe first meeting after the Annual General Meeting the Board elects the Chairman, the Vice Chairman, and the Honorary Treasurer. The Board can co-opt a Councillor from Colchester Borough Council as an observer, if one is nominated by them.
Induction of Trustees
Newly appointed Trustees are provided with an induction to Citizens Advice Colchester through ‘the provision of access to online information packs, training courses and mentoring by established trustees.

The Charity also co-operates and liaises with several other advisory services, local charities and public service departments on behalf of clients.

Major Risks :
----- End of picture text -----
The Board of Trustees of Citizens Advice Colchester has a risk register in place. The Trustees recognise that any major risks to which the charity is exposed need to be reviewed and systems put in place to mitigate those risks. To that end the Trustee Board is continually monitoring and managing its risk, reviewing the risk register and ensuring action plans are in place to mitigate its key risks
Included in external risks is that of the loss of funding. The effects of this have been minimised by the procedures in place, which have resulted in funding being secured from a variety of sources. The charity continues to seek to diversify its funding sources. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all . operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity
Reserves Policy
Citizens Advice Colchester ensures that resources are available in each financial year to meet any reasonably foreseeable contingency
In view of the uncertainty in the current financial climate trustees have maintained sufficient reserves to cover 1 year's operating costs.
Investment Policy
As required in its Memorandum paragraph 4.15 in furtherance of its objects, and for no other purposes, the Company has the power to invest or deposit funds in any lawful manner whilst having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification.
Strategic Report
Achievements and Performance
- 3
COVID-19 restrictions were introduced in England on 23 March 2020 just before the beginning of the year in review. As a result, CAC was obliged to close its office and suspend its face-to-face advice service. Our staff and volunteers made tremendous efforts to adapt to the new circumstances. With financial help from Essex Community Foundation, we were-able to buy laptop computers and mobile phones so that staff and volunteers could work from home.
Citizens Advice Colchester
Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees’ Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) a YearRRR Ended 31st March ERG 2021 oe De | ee ee TS, Some of our funded projects, notably the ‘help to claim’ service for Universal Credit, also had to be reconfigured from face-to-face provision to online and telephone services. We are very pleased to be able to say that, despite the strictures imposed by the response to the pandemic, our dedicated team of volunteer advisers and paid staff delivered advice to over 4000 clients during this difficult year.
During the lockdown, the Trustee Board continued to meet remotely. We came to the view that, given the move to online and telephone delivery, CAC's future service would require fewer rooms for face-to-face Meetings. We took a decision to reduce our expenditure by surrendering the lease on the offices in Blackburn House, where we had been based since 2008. A search for new premises resulted in an agreement to take a licence from Lepra and occupy part of their offices at 28 Middleborough, Colchester, CO1 1TG.
The trustees are immensely proud of, and grateful to, all our volunteers for the contribution they make to the people of Colchester and beyond. We estimate that, had we had to pay them for their time, it would have cost CAC in excess of half a million pounds.
Despite all the difficulties of this 'COVID year' we have been able to make a real contribution to the wellbeing of the community. Two in every 3 clients had their problems solved, 4 in every 5 clients said the advice improved their lives by reducing stress and improving their finances, and 90% of our clients reported overall satisfaction with the service. Last year a Treasury approved model concluded that CAC realised a benefit of over £38 for each pound we spent, and saved the public purse nearly £4m asa result of the advice we gave our clients. This year has been no different in scale thanks to the flexibility and efforts of our staff and volunteers despite the constraints of the pandemic, and such figures demonstrate that CAC is an essential and valuable local service for the residents of Colchester and beyond.
We are grateful to all our funders. Alongside our core general advice service, we have continued to deliver our successful partnership projects with, in particular, Colchester Borough Homes, the Department for Work and Pensions, Essex County Council, Money and Pensions Service, the Big Lottery, and Colchester Borough Council.
Financial Review
Financial Position
Incoming resources in the year were £299,753 (2019/20 £258,719). Of this, £1 88,153 related to restricted project activities (2019/20 £172,314). A surplus of £90,528 was the outcome in the year (2019/20 surplus £18,205). At 31st March 2021 total reserves were £315,585 of which £226,733 represented unrestricted funds (2019/20 £192,708). The increase in surplus and unrestricted funds is a welcome hedge against a more difficult financial climate expected after COVID, and the commensurate increase in demand for our services over the next few years.
Borrowing Sources
CAC did not have any borrowings from either providers of funding or other sources at the balance sheet date.
Funds in Deficit
No funds were in deficit at the balance shect date.

Plans for Future Period
We expect our operating environment will continue to change as our clients' needs change, and as a result of the sighificant reduction in funding for our general advice service. This is likely to have an impact on our balance * sheet. We are developing a local fundraising and stakeholder plan to diversify our funding base and raise our profile within the Colchester community. The requirement to retain and secure long-term funding is crucial to ensure the service continues to meet the needs of our growing local community.
We are currently undertaking a review of strategy, reflecting on the changing needs of our clients and shifts in the ways we provide advice and help. In particular, the reduction in face-to-face consultations necessitated by the pandemic has required a greater emphasis on remote working and digital delivery (via email and online chat) or by phone.
We want our services to be easily accessible, particularly in areas of greatest need, To this end, we are developing our outreach programmes. Discussions are underway with other organisations in Colchester with a view to developing additional partnerships to address the issues experienced by residents.
In these ways we will ensure that we are best placed to meet the challenges facing us and are able to do so within the income streams available to us. A further key challenge for us is to increase the number of volunteers supporting CAC in the future to ensure continuity and increase capacity to meet increasing demand for our services.

- Accounting Policies (continued)
Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity ‘and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
® income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
° legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established,
-
: * income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. Noamounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
e income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
° expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
-
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible Assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses,

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Tangible Assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures & fittings .- 25% straight line Office Equipment - 33% straight line
Impairment of Fixed Assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly, Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows ‘that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument,
- Limited by Guarantee Every member of the charity undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required, not exceeding £1, to the charity's assets if it should be wound up.
