## Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
## **Objectives and activities**
The objective of the Volunteer Centre is to promote charitable purposes for the benefit of the residents of New Mills and district by associating together volunteers in a common effort to relieve poverty, sickness and distress through:
1. Promoting volunteering
2. The provision of a volunteer centre
3. Giving advice and support to volunteers.
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This report looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes over the previous year. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits that have been brought to the residents of New Mills and district. The review also helps to ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, we consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set. The Trustees are responsible for maintaining the Volunteer Centre and employing a team of staff which is sufficient to deliver the services to our volunteers and clients. During the past year, we have ensured a high-quality service for volunteers, clients, and socially isolated people in New Mills and district. The Volunteer Centre has offered advice and support to volunteers and we continue to use our resources carefully to ensure that we can continue to provide a focal point within our community as well as adapting our activities to meet the ever changing needs of our clients.
## **Chair’s Report**
Our Chairman, Alan, in last year’s Annual Report and at the AGM in July described how challenging the financial year 2020/21 had been. This last year has proved the resilience of the New Mills & District Volunteer Centre. Still under the threat and restrictions of Covid, the demand for the volume and variety of our services increased; we have supported our community in so many ways.
During this period we lost the services of the Centre Manager, The Chair of Trustees, and two further Trustees .
Jess Ingham joined us in mid-March as the new Centre Manager, and her cheery disposition, enthusiasm, organisational and communication skills are greatly appreciated

The Staff, supported by the Trustees, have been outstanding. The Chairman rightly praised “the steadfast and dedicated commitment” of the Staff a year ago, and they have continued, helped by the addition of two more staff.
None of our community services would be possible, of course, without the backing of our wonderful volunteers, many of whom came forward during the pandemic, to be trained by the Staff, and then directed to help people in need in our community. 299 volunteers were registered with us at one time for Services and Infrastructure.
We continue to receive financial backing from Derbyshire County Council who recognise the services we provide and the value of our volunteer based charity to the community. With financial stability and the pandemic restrictions being lifted, we are confident in being able to provide continued and expanding services to people in need in the New Mills & District area.
Reports from the Treasurer and the Centre Manager will provide details of our financial sustainability and our achievements over the past year.

_Acting Chair of Trustees_
## **Achievements and performance**
T he Charity’s main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the local community and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. The work we do is all through volunteer activity and is supported through grants and donations.
Having slowly emerged from lockdown and with the gradual lifting of Government restrictions, we have begun to resume normal activity. Many of our activities have had to flex and adapt over the year in response to restrictions and Government guidance – For example: we moved to a largely telephone based ‘Check in and Chat’ Befriending offer at the start of the pandemic and over the course of 2021/22 we have gradually reverted to more in person relationships. Likewise, our Chair Based Exercise classes were totally online at the beginning of the year and now we are managing to run two face-to-face sessions each week, and one on Zoom.
Our flexible response to the pandemic has diversified our offer as we move forward we will be retaining the online exercise sessions, and telephone befriending for those that prefer to access our services in this way. We now deliver hot meals to Friday Lunch Club clients if they are unable to attend due to ill-health.
The main activities of the Volunteer Centre are:
- **Car scheme:** Volunteers use their own cars to take people to hospital appointments. We have also used the scheme to take people to Covid vaccinations and boosters, when they have been unable to make the journey themselves.
- **Befriending** : Our Befriending Coordinator matches volunteer Befrienders with isolated or vulnerable people in the community. Befrienders ‘Check in and Chat’ over the telephone or visit people in their own homes.
- **Shopping** : volunteers shop and deliver for housebound people.

## New Mills and District Volunteer Centre

## for the year ended 31 March 2022
- **Wednesday Shopping Trip** : our minibus takes members of the community to local supermarkets. A popular service which enables clients with mobility or other issues to make regular shopping trips, and to make friendships and connections in the process.
- **IT Training:** Volunteers provide IT support to help people digitally connect – such as helping people learn how to access Zoom calls so that they can connect with friends and family; online shopping and using the internet, to more in-depth skills such as using Excel spreadsheets.
- **Groups** : our sessions include Friday Lunch Club, Handicrafts (now called Knit and Natter) and the monthly Kinder Social Group – a dementia friendly café.
- The Friday Lunch Club has been a vital hub for community outreach during the last couple of years, in response to the pandemic. From November 2020 to the end of October 2021 we were delivering regular hot meals to vulnerable members of our community who were isolating at home.
- **Gardening** : Volunteers undertake simple gardening tasks for clients who struggle to manage their garden on their own. During Covid, isolated members of the community have been able to keep connected with an informal ‘check in’ with their volunteer gardener.
- **Chair based exercise:** a safe form of exercise to help improve coordination, flexibility and to help prevent falls. Weekly classes on Zoom and in person.
- **Signposting** : we receive numerous calls from the public in regard to services, opportunities and advice. Our team signpost them to relevant organisations, groups and services.
- **Volunteer Training:** Our team provides training for volunteers where necessary e.g., Befriending Training, Reception Volunteer Training, Falls Awareness Training, Dementia Training. Again, Covid restrictions have meant that some of our in-person training has been disrupted over the year, but it is beginning to pick up again.
- **Volunteer Brokerage:** we put volunteers in touch with other organisations and charities and advertise and promote volunteer opportunities within our networks, on our website, within the Centre and on our social media platforms.
- **Move More New Mills:** the centre now hosts the Move More Officer for New Mills (funded by Active Derbyshire and High Peak Borough Council) who is developing interesting and engaging activities for the local community to encourage a fitter, healthier and more active lifestyle.
## **Financial review**
This financial year the Charity has made a surplus of £11,511( 2020/2021 £2,626) . The value of the COIF Charities Investment Fund Units increased by £7,390 making the units held worth £93,025. We received continuation funding from Derbyshire County Council for £27,209, £6,880 for Active Travel and £6,932 for Infrastructure and from Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group we received £21,331 and £2,331 for signposting. This year High Peak Borough Council gave us £5,000 and £15,000 to fund the Move More New Mills initiative.
The Social and Fundraising and the Regular Funding Committees continued to be well supported by the Volunteers , the Garden Sale raised £1,395, the Golf Day £1,294, Handicraft sales £2,177, Plants from Olwen Liddard £254, various Craft fairs, Calendar sales , Book sales and the Lottery making a total of £6894.

## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
We received donations of £3,500 from Kelsa Trucks, £3,889 from the Co-operative £1,000 from Tesco and £750 from New Mills Council together with other generous donations the total received was £13,399. We would like to thank everyone for their generosity,
The total income for 2020/2021 was £153,469 (2020/2021 £124,014) The total expenditure for 2020/2021 was £149,348 (2020/2021 was £136,213) This gave us a small surplus of £4,121 and with increase in value of the COIF units we ended up with a surplus of £11,511.
Our main funders were Derbyshire County Council, Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group and High Peak Borough Council
## **Balance Sheet**
Restricted funds of £192,954 (2021 £179,489) represents grants received for specific projects not yet spent, plus the funds for improvements not yet expended by depreciation.
Unrestricted funds at the year end were £197,755 (2021 £203,099.) Unfortunately we were unable to have the front of the Centre repainted and with increased cost we are putting money into a Designated Fund, also money is going into Gap Funding.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have, as required of them, considered the risks faced and the steps needed to mitigate them. The level of reserves is kept under review and the Trustees believe we need to put some monies into a Designated fund to cover the Repairs and repainting of the front of Centre, this wasn’t completed in the year because we were let down by the Contractor and due to increased costs need to add another £1000.
We are also putting £15,000 into Gap Funding to cover any short fall of the cost of keeping the Mini Bus and the Transport Co-ordinator’s salary, this is no longer covered by any grant.
The Trustees also like to have £31,434 to cover the remaining lease, £12,339 interest monies under the District Nurses Fund (this is ring fenced) and £1,147 held for the High Peak Kids Council. This leaves money held in unrestricted income of £110,023 which would cover approximately 9 months of expenditure.
## **Plans for the future**
The Trustees and Staff are looking forward to the coming year, now that the pandemic is over, to getting Clients back into the Centre and making it the thriving hub it was in the past.
We start the new financial year knowing that we are to receive our grant from Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group, but unsure whether our grant from Derbyshire County Council will be renewed after September, they are reviewing all their grants and have already informed us that the Active Travel Grant is finishing then.

We will seek to strengthen and build on our firm relationship with the rest of the High Peak Alliance. As well as Active Derbyshire and the High Peak Borough Council with the Move More Steering Group to get people more active.
This year we are investing in Volife Volunteer Brokerage System, this will make it easier to collate the statistics that are required by our funders. Also we are investing a new Charity log database, which will help the staff with their work.
We are aware that this year is going to be very hard for people financially and if we can help by signposting them in the right direction for any aid that is available we will do so.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Volunteer Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 13 February 2003 and registered as a charity on 22 May 2003.
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.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 March 2022 was 72 (2021:60). The Trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 12 to the accounts.
The Trustees have a policy on Trustee recruitment and new Trustees are encouraged to receive relevant training. This year the Trustee main body has continued with the use of sub-groups i.e. Finance, Strategy, Fundraising, Publicity & Marketing. Trustee board meetings have been held via Teams or Zoom because of the pandemic.
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Trustees retire in rotation over a three-year period after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. The Chair, Vice Chair and the Treasurer are all re-elected every year.
## **Related parties and relationships with other organisations**
We value collaboration and connecting with the community and recognise the strength in working with other key agencies. We work in partnership with other volunteer services in the area: Connex (Buxton), The Bureau (Glossop) and High Peak CVS as the High Peak Alliance. We continue to work closely with Derbyshire County Council (DCC), Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (DDCCG), High Peak Borough Council and New Mills Town Council.
Through DCC (e.g. Adult Social Care and Health), DDCCG, NHS and our partners in the voluntary sector we are part of several strategic groups across Derbyshire including the PLACE Alliance, 3D (a consortium of voluntary and community sector support agencies), the Health and Wellbeing Partnership, IsLAND initiative (the Derbyshire wide befriending network) and Joined Up Care Derbyshire. On a more local level we meet with organisations such as High Peak Social Connectedness, High Peak Volunteering Alliance, High Peak Dementia Working Group.

We have the New Mills Move More Executive Worker based here as part of a place-based initiative, in partnership with Active Derbyshire and High Peak Borough Council.
Our busy car transport scheme is supported by Derbyshire Connect Active Travel (DCC).
We also work alongside and in support of local groups and organisations such as Youth Matters, New Mills Youth and Community Project, PCRefurb, Citizens Advice Bureau, CAP Job Club, Zink, Derbyshire Carers Association, Incredible Edible, Transition New Mills, Sustainable Hayfield and many more.
## **Remuneration policy for key management personnel**
## **Employees with total benefits over £60,00**
No employees have total benefits over £60k for this charity
## Risk management
The Trustees have identified key risks associated with running the Volunteer Centre and have created a Risk Register which is reviewed regularly with remedial action being taken as appropriate. Written procedures have been prepared for the Company’s policies covering employees, volunteers, clients, visitors and financial systems and procedures.
## **Manager’s Report 2021/22**
Having started in my role at the very end of the Financial Year, as the new Centre Manager, it has been a wonderful and enlightening process to learn about all the amazing work that New Mills & District Volunteer Centre does. The myriad of services, activities and support that our Centre provides is incredible and we are quite rightly one of the most respected community groups in the area. The committed staff at the Centre, as well as all the fabulous volunteers we work with, have continued to adapt, flex and respond to the ever-changing needs of the community as Government restrictions have gradually lifted over the course of the year.
The fallout from the pandemic will stretch health and care services for some time to come and we will continue to support people to live an independent and fulfilling life as well as offering a welcoming safe space for the community. A huge thank you to all our volunteers, supporters and funders for enabling us to help our local community in so many ways. And to all the staff team, a sincere thank you for all that has been done over the last year under continuing difficult circumstances.
## **Volunteering**
Volunteering is at the heart of the centre and its activities. We now have around 299 volunteers, who support nearly 300 clients. We also work with local voluntary organisations in helping them to recruit volunteers and fill their vacancies.
Once recruited, our volunteers receive training and support, encouragement and guidance. Without these volunteers we would be unable to provide all the services and activities that we do.

## New Mills and District Volunteer Centre
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
It has been an absolute pleasure meeting volunteers and getting to know them over the last two months – drivers, befrienders, cooks, gardeners, fundraisers, shoppers, our receptionists. The list goes on and on!
And many thanks go to our committed Board of Trustees who have offered me the warmest of welcomes from the moment I arrived.
## **Befriending**
Befriending is crucial in preventing social isolation by offering company and conversation either in person or on the telephone. During the pandemic, Befriending became ‘Check in and Chat’ over the telephone, but as the year has progressed, we have once again moved to a greater number of face-to-face sessions. The number of hours that our volunteers spend as Befrienders has increased – this is a natural uptick due to the nature of the in-person Befriending relationship. Some clients still prefer connecting over the phone, and we can offer this option to suit everybody’s preferences.
76 Befrienders have provided over 2616 hours of support for 93 different clients over the course of the year. They have provided 3,968 instances of befriending (both over the phone and in person).
## **Car Transport**
We are part of a DCC funded High Peak-wide project – Derbyshire Connect Active Travel which focuses on providing transport for medical appointments. We provide this service alongside our partners Connex (Buxton), the Bureau (Glossop) and Bakewell and Eyam Community Travel.
The car transport scheme has continued to run with some restrictions (e.g., mask wearing), and most journeys have been to medical appointments, including some Covid vaccinations and boosters. The number of journeys has been lower than previous years, though are increasing gradually. In 2021/22 financial year, the car scheme has been used 1,140 times to support members of the community, with a total of 2,740 volunteer hours. Some of the pre-pandemic volunteers chose not to return to driving for various reasons, although quite a few new volunteer drivers have come forward since.
**The Wednesday minibus shopping trips** started in December 2021 and has proved to be an essential lifeline for those people who struggle to shop independently, whilst also providing much needed social contact. The minibus is also being used for the Kinder Social Group and the Friday Lunch Club
## **Chair based exercise class**
This group has been running through the Covid pandemic via Zoom – and two of the sessions restarted as face-to-face classes in October 2021. One of the weekly classes remains on Zoom. In total 91 sessions were held between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022, reaching an average of 22 clients each month. All classes continue to be well attended.
## **Handicraft group:** (now known as Knit and Natter)
The group restarted at the end of June 2021 - the first in-person group to be reintroduced at the Centre. Unfortunately, the numbers have dwindled as some of the clients still don’t feel confident to come back. Initially, the lower numbers meant that appropriate social distancing could be maintained, and we could accommodate all the people that wanted to come. We could now accommodate more people, but the take up has been slow. We are keen to encourage more knitters to join the group. We have held 38 Handicraft sessions over 10 months with an average of 6 clients at each one.
## **IT training:**
IT volunteers helped people to access the internet during the restrictions, so that they were able to join the Chair Based Exercise Zoom classes online. This was a huge help. It not only encouraged people to exercise in their own home but also gave people the chance to meet before the class to socialise - which continues to be very popular to this day. I would like to thank our volunteers that have helped provide IT

training for our clients throughout the year, when digital connection to the outside world has been so important. We had 35 training sessions take place across 2021/2022 with a total of 22 clients.
We are now back to having one to one IT training sessions at the Centre, as and when we are contacted by clients.
## **Shopping:**
We had an influx of new volunteers during the pandemic and so we were able to offer our shopping service to many different people over a wide area of New Mills and surrounding areas. Volunteers shopped for clients at the supermarket at the same time as they did their own. However, as restrictions have gradually lifted, many of these volunteers have returned to work. We continue to provide a shopping service for some housebound residents of New Mills, but this is much reduced. Some of our clients are now accessing online shopping and others are using the minibus shopping service on a Wednesday to a local supermarket. A few of our clients are now using the Morrisons Doorstep delivery service – clients can do this over the phone and don’t need access to a computer. The order is delivered the next day and they can pay on the doorstep.
## **Groups:**
## **Friday Lunch Club**
We continued to support people within the community from March 2021 to October 2021 despite Covid restrictions, by providing a regular weekly home cooked meal delivered to their door. In total we delivered over 600 meals during this time utilising over 400 hours of volunteering time.
Every Friday lunchtime over 30 meals were prepared by 2 volunteer cooks at our offices and delivered by 6 volunteer drivers every Friday lunch time. This service ensured that our clients received a regular doorstep chat with a volunteer and a mental health check that was then fed back to the centre. We were able to identify all who needed extra help and signpost them on to other services. The weekly call also enabled us to send books as part of a books swap, additional groceries from the local New Mills Pantry free food service and prescriptions if requested.
During October 2021 we were able to open up our Friday Lunch Club at the centre - we have since had over 130 lunches served up to end of March 2022. The NMVC minibus is also used to transport clients to the event.
## **Youth Matters/Coop Food Share**
A number of clients who we supported with meals during Covid still find it difficult to come into the centre for lunches, so we have joined forces with a local CIC, Youth Matters (YM), who deliver food surplus from the local Coop 'Food Share' scheme. Three of our volunteers continue to support YM by helping deliver groceries to people in New Mills and surrounding area - including the people who had been receiving home delivered meals from us. This has ensured that the clients are still supported and have regular visits from volunteers in the community.
## **Kinder Social Group**
In October 2021 we saw the launch of our new dementia friendly Kinder Social Group. The group is held on the last Thursday over every month at the Parish Hall in New Mills. Up until March we have had 120 attending clients and 32 volunteers helping at this event. This is much needed social group for people who are isolated and living with dementia - many pre diagnosis. The group has a live band every month and is sponsored by local business Swizzels Matlow and The Coop.
The NMVC minibus is also used to transport some of our clients to the event.
## **Gardening**
During Covid our gardening service was put on hold, from May 2021 it started up again and a number of volunteer gardeners were busy helping with tidy ups and then on to Spring planting. In total over 342 volunteer hours were clocked up helping up to 21 different clients. Gardening is also very much a

befriending service, as it ensures isolated individuals are checked up on as volunteers always have a chat and a cup of tea.
The NMVC allotment space was very productive during this financial year, with all the produce being used by the volunteer caterers for client lunches. Any additional produce was also shared out to clients during volunteer visits. We were lucky to have four dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure a bountiful crop of vegetables.
## **Social Media**
During the last year we secured a volunteer to manage the migration of our website to a totally new platform and relaunch it.
Monthly newsletters were sent out to all volunteers, ensuring they were kept up to date of all that went on at the centre.
## **Staff Team**
I continue to be thoroughly bowled over by our team of committed, professional and hard-working staff who regularly go above and beyond to ensure that our volunteers and clients receive the best experience and support, with good cheer and warmth. They have helped hugely as I adjust to my role, giving much needed advice when required!
## **Moving Forward**
The repercussions of the pandemic will continue to be felt by our local community – this, in combination with the looming Cost of Living Crisis will put still more pressure on the local population, businesses, the Centre, volunteers and staff. We will endeavour, as always to provide sound signposting advice for the community and provide help and support where we can.
Good Befriending relationships are important to us, we are very aware that there needs to be a balance between a positive volunteer experience and the needs of isolated and vulnerable people that require extra support through our service. We will continue to provide a good experience for all the community we serve.
We will be reviewing our activities and services, and I am delighted to announce that we are introducing a new Monday drop-in session called Acoustic Soup. This will provide hearty homemade soup for a nominal cost, as well as music, poetry and stories for the attendees.
Since October 2021 we have hosted Sarah Berry, the New Mills Move More Officer, who is connecting with volunteers, individuals, businesses and partners across New Mills to improve and encourage more physical activity. We will be part of the New Mills Move More Steering Group along with members of Active Derbyshire and High Peak Borough Council and will be hosting regular forums at the Centre for community groups to meet, discuss and develop ideas in relation to the Move More Project. The new Move More Officer for Children and Young People (for the High Peak area) will soon be in post and will hopefully be hot desking at the Centre from time to time. I look forward to meeting them in due course.
With support from PCRefurb, we are improving our IT offer with refurbished PCs and laptops within a dedicated IT Suite. We will then be in the position to increase our IT Training provision for the community, increasing digital inclusion and connectedness. We can also use the space for training and can hire it out to interested groups.
This year we are introducing a new CRM database system that will enable staff to improve the collating and managing of data, supporters, clients, volunteers as well as information regarding our services. We are also signing up to a new Volunteer Brokerage platform that will improve our offer to volunteers and volunteer organisations alike.

## New Mills and District Volunteer Centre
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
We are always looking at ways we can improve our support to the local community, and this includes for all ages and backgrounds. We are hoping to host sessions for Young Carers over the Summer months in conjunction with Youth Matters CIC, and Music in Hospitals & Care.
We are also connecting with guests from Ukraine and their hosts, to offer our space as a hub where they can meet, connect and socialise.
## **Centre**
Our premises are overdue a coat of paint – we will be revamping our front of house and signage, as well as the window displays.
## **Funding**
It is through support from our core funders - Derbyshire County Council and Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group – that have enabled us to sustain our services and activities over many years – and with their continued support we will be able to sustain our activities over the coming months. We have also had many kind donations over the year from the local community – thank you to all who have helped support the Centre in this way.
I would like to offer our heartfelt thanks for the continued support from local businesses and charities such as The Josh Webb Foundation, the Coop, Swizzels Matlow and Kelsa Trucks Products - which is so very much appreciated.
We will also be making grant applications to various Trusts and Foundations in order to continue our project work, and to help fund our groups and activities. We have a Social and Fundraising Group who organise many events to help raise money for the centre. They have a full calendar of events planned for the year ahead.
## **Summary**
Our activities and services help our clients feel more connected and supported and so help to relieve stress and isolation and improve people’s mental, physical and emotional health. This can mean that some of them can stay living independently for longer, and to live healthier more active lifestyles.
We know that the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the existing challenges of the people we support, and we will endeavour to meet these challenges as we move forward.

## **Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others**
The Volunteer Centre holds monies in trust for the High Peak Kids Council, this is monies raised by the primary schools of New Mills, this money is to be used by the schools for equipment for the benefit of themselves. The money is included in our restricted funds and the amount is reported on every year
We also have in our restricted funds, Investments for the District Nurses Fund, that were given to us on the understanding that we could not sell them but we could use the interest generated for the health and wellbeing of people of New Mills & district. These are shown every year on our balance sheet and the amount of interest still to be used is stated in our Reserves Policy.

## New Mills and District Volunteer Centre
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
## Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees
The Trustees (who are also directors of New Mills and District Volunteer Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report 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 these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## Independent examiner’s report
## to the members of
## New Mills and District Volunteer Centre
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 which are set out on pages 15 to 34.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity 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 company’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**
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 that in any material respect:
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.

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **1 Accounting policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## **a Basis of preparation**
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), second edition - 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 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
New Mills and District Volunteer Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trtustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
18
New Mills and District Volunteer Centre
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
## **c Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## **d Donated services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
## **e Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
## **f Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **h Operating leases**
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## **i Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
|Leasehold building improvements|25 years|(period of lease)|
|---|---|---|
|Office fixtures and equipment|5 years||
|Computer equipment|1 year||
|Minibus|5 years||

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
## **j Fixed asset investments**
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
## **k Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **l Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **m Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **n Financial instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
