CVS Assoclates

CVS South Gloucestershire operates an Associates Model to accompany our delivery of VCSE sector support, using Associates to deliver services that are beyond the capacity covered by our Service Level Agreement with South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) and services requiring specialist skillsets not covered adequately in our staff team. Our smaller pool of Associates has been busy this year and we are looking to build Human Resources expertise in our wider team. We continue to seek to understand the needs of the sector, its ability to pay for support and to attract funding for our own projects and services whilst not

competing with our members, to generate income enabling us to broaden and enhance our support offer for VCSE organisations across the area.

  1. The role of CVS South Gloucestershire and the VCSE sector, working with funders and partners to facllltate effective cross-sector working In response to the situation(s) before us.

At the start of the year 2021-22, April saw the ramping-up of the UK’s mass vaccination programme and ongoing work of mutual aid groups with our West of England and North Somerset pariner organisation, VANS, delivering a vaccination volunteering effort for the NHS across the BNSSG area. CVS continued to help shape new structures and policies developed as a result of Covid-19, such as the LOMP (Local Outbreak Management Plan) and Community Hub in sharing information intelligence and messaging as part of the South Gloucestershire response. CVS's development of its social media and websites and the subsequent increased interaction with those portals has helped us play our part by re-posting vital public health messages. The restrictions and new vaccines resulted in a situation where the lifting of those social and economic restrictions was balanced with the effectiveness and rate of vaccination, the case numbers and disease variants, creating a new not-so-normal with most of the mutual aid groups winding-down. A few evolved into feeding or other cost-of-living addressing roles which are increasingly required as ‘furlough’ ends, welfare benefits are reduced, and inflation rises. At the end of the year in February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia started a war in Europe which precipitated a large-scale refugee crisis and the UK Government's Homes for Ukraine scheme, a six-month ‘guest programme. CVS has again been close to this work through new and strengthened links into the public sector and re-started its Thursday evening Zoom calls open to the wider community, successfully connecting community response to public sector colleagues tasked with the delivery of the Homes for Ukraine programme.

CVS is now contributing to the following strategic and operational groups, either supported by our SLA funding or, as a means of developing the role of the VCSE in linking and collaborating with the public sector in its response to the current context:

CVS SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 a eSustainable Communities Strategy (LSP sub-group for the refresh of Sustainable Communities Strategy, which meet in 2021-22).

CVS has worked more closely with the National Lottery Community Fund at a local and regional level, again both input to the strategic development of funding and operationally with local officers on bid development and support for the VCSE in South Glos. to generate good quality bids. 2 Facilitating the VCSE to work with the emerging new health system The Covid pandemic did not affect the course of change in the health system as the NHS in England moved from the current structure of a single Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) for BNSSG to a multi-locality Integrated Care Systems (ICS) under which six new Locality Partnerships will operate with effect from Summer 2022. Linking the sector into this reorganisation has been a key area of work for the VCSE organisations involved in health delivery and also for infrastructure bodies such as CVS-South Glos. The six BNSSG localities are made up of three groups across the Bristol city area, two in North Somerset and a single Locality Partnership for South Gloucestershire where Southern Brooks Community Partnerships (SBCP) has been chosen as the lead locality provider for the VCSE in South Gloucestershire and receives funding to deliver this role. It is therefore essential that CVS and SBCP work closely together as the idea that the ‘support, develop and represent’ aims of CVS as infrastructure can be delivered by a single organisation. This is being superseded by a shared-leadership model and support role for many of the significant VCSE organisations (significant either by place or interest-group) both locality leads and other larger VCSE groups. There is now for instance, a joint representational role for CVS-SG and Southem Brooks in representing the VCSE on the South Glos. Health and Wellbeing Board, since December

2021 (these Boards are statutory, comprising politicians, clinicians, professionals and community leaders from the care and health systems to improve health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities).

The VCSE also has representation on the BNSSG-level Healthier Together partnership and this role has been provided by West of England Rural Network (WERN) a partner of CVSSG in the West of England Civil Society Partnership. This has also connected CVS into various other health service structures such as AHSN (Academic Health Science Network) which works on behalf our NHS provider members to stimulate and support partnership working between VCSE’s and members.

Help to shape and influence the new system and in navigating, winning and delivering contracts in the care and health sectors is a potential opportunity from the health system restructure and it is important for CVS-SG to work with sector partners to maximise that potential in South Gloucestershire.

3 Supporting the VCSE to develop the skills and capacity to dellver Its aims and adapt to a rapidly changing worid

The Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise Sector - VCSE Leaders’ Board brings together VCSE Leaders from significant organisations that operate at a South Gloucestershire or wider level. It is facilitated by CVS-SG and seeks to work strategically across South Gloucestershire Council and the public sector for the benefit of the local VCSE. Leaders Board has met regularly with SGC leaders and now has a series of quarterly workshops with the senior leadership team of the Council creating a cooperative and ideally, collaborative spaces for updating each other on the current context for our organisations and in working towards sharing intelligence and developing shared aims and actions. Under the Keep it Local project, led by SGC, new investment into the VCSE is being planned for 202223 to facilitate strategic coproduction at the various forums coming out of the South Gloucestershire Council Plan and the new Locality Partnership. The VCSE Leaders Board will play a key role in selecting VCSE representatives for these forums and the process of making a wider contribution to the development of a ‘thriving VCSE’ in our area. As public sector resources continue to be constrained then working in a collaborative way across sectors to help to ensure the provision of services and maximizing wellbeing for the people and communities of South Gloucestershire becomes increasingly important as an area of work for CVS, in ensuring VCSE infrastructure is sufficiently resourced and in supporting the Leaders Board and the wider VCSE to influence and participate in serviceshaping and delivery.

West of England Civil Society Partnership (WoE-CSP) is made up of: CVS-SG, Voscur, VANS, WERN, Wesport, The Care Forum and 3SG and will soon cease operating as a legal body (a Community Interest Company or CIC) but continue functioning as a voluntary partnership of infrastructure bodies. WoE-CSP brings together knowledge and expertise to enable infrastructure to function well across geographical and thematic areas that don’t all sit within locality/local authority boundaries. The CSP was successful in negotiating a contract to deliver volunteer management for the vaccination effort from North Bristol NHS Trust in 2020-21 and that work is still being delivered by VANS in BNSSG (and by 3SG in B&NES under a different CCG). VANS were seen as the most appropriate partner with a track record of service delivery in this area and there was no need for the CSP to deliver the service itself. Similarly, the idea that the various volunteer centres and volunteering in general across the West of England, could be brought together under a shared system to both better

promote volunteering and make it easier for volunteers and the VCSE organisations seeking them to find and fill opportunities, was also led by a partner organisation within the CSP - the mutual aid and vaccination volunteering response showed that there is considerable room to develop a modernised volunteering infrastructure based in the view that the people who came forward in those efforts might also become engaged with other types of local volunteering if they were more aware of the various roles available. CVS-SG led on this idea, was able to access some funding and commissioned a feasibility study into joining-up the various information and communication systems at a West of England level whilst respecting the work and identity of the individual volunteer centres and local areas. The CSP intends to continue working in this way, to review its membership and to continue in its attempt to influence and inform the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) and various other West-of-England-and-wider, public bodies. CVS Membership - CVS South Gloucestershire is a membership-based organisation where voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations based in and/or delivering services in South Gloucestershire, are eligible to be full members; individuals and_ statutory organisations (e.g., town and parish councils) are eligible to join as associate members. Membership fees are graduated according to income level of the organisation. Membership standards are a part of being accepted as a full member and have been adapted to suit a mainly online process now with those organisations preferring in-person and paper being accommodated also. Member organisations without an external quality award benefit from this recognition, in tendering for contracts and it may also be useful when they're seeking funding from some Trusts and wider public bodies. Once a membership assessment is done, organisations receive a report and when they've met the standards (at silver, gold or platinum level) they’re eligible for entry on the VCSE Directory (or Membership Showcase), which is available on the CVS-SG Website. This directory, as it says, showcases the work of CVS members across South Gloucestershire and is an important too! to maintain recognition of the value that our local sector brings. CVS aims to increase its membership as a sign of legitimacy and demonstrate its value to the VCSE and funders. Members as of March 2021 = 41 Members as of March 2022 = 48 CVS has also been a member of South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) Social Value Board and the VCSE Directory is linked to the SGC procurement portal. This means that private companies bidding to deliver contracts from SGC can use the VCSE Directory to identify local organisations to support as part of their commitment to social value in the area. Further development of the South Gloucestershire Council social value approach forms part of the Keep It Local working group and our CEO is a member of the Commissioning and Procurement subgroup alongside SGC’s Head of Strategic Procurement and its’ Director of Resources amongst others, in progressing work this area. Many planned contracts have either experienced delayed re-commissioning or have been extended due to Covid-19 although 2022-23 will see a reset in terms of commissioning and procurement at the local authority.

envisaged for Autumn 2022-23 with a focus on solutions to help local VCSE groups and organisations respond to the new context post-pandemic but with other crises also impacting their work and also exploring the role of the VCSE in mitigating the impacts of the climate change and nature crisis. CVS-SG will keep considering and asking members how conferences and meetings are best organised and run in our new hybrid world. In reality, this is a trial-and-error process that Covid has given us a need or benefit, but we also still have some room for forgiveness in not getting things 100% right first-time as we're all learning about how to use digital and analogue in a combined (hybrid) way to improve both participation and inclusion.

Supporting SGDEN’s development

As part of our continued commitment to help develop equalities groups and networks in South Gloucestershire, CVS has continued to work with the Disability Equality Network (DEN), providing a part-time member of staff funded by SGC, to support their work and employed by CVS-SG and seconded to SGDEN. As part of the evolution of SGDEN and CVS’s support/develop role, our long-term goal was always for the group to employ staff directly or through a SGDEN network member. The SDEN officer returned from Maternity Leave this year and talks between SDEN’s Chair, CVS and an SGDEN member organisation, the employee has agreed that the transfer of employment to the network member organisation can go ahead this year, subject to due diligence and final agreement on the terms of the TUPE transfer. This is planned to be enacted for the start of the new financial year in 2022-23 and now that SGC continuation funding to cover the staff member has been agreed for between three and six years, will go ahead.

Supporting SGREN’s development The South Gloucestershire Race Equality Network (SGREN) has been supported by CVS for many years via management of its annual grant from SGC and the employment of part-time staff members or CVS Associates to take a role in developing the profile and the membership of SGREN, developing a website, using social media to promote SGREN and organising events. The SGC funding has not proved sufficient to attract someone who can embrace the tasks of administrative support and development of the network. SGREN has , been clear that it now sees itself ready to take on its first employee, with the support of CVS. To that aim, we have been seeking a funding source suitable and have held talks with regional officers at the Lottery in terms of a Reaching Communities bid to create a post that we'd seek funding to employ a 0.6-plus FTE worker for two-to-three years. This application was developed by SGREN and CVS and has been granted three years funding at the end of 2021-22 at the end of the two stage-process. Information Services We have continued to develop our communications and reach on social media, and our website and we currently have 326 people signed up to our e-alert service. Our e-alert service during the year had 97 events listed, 109 funding opportunities advertised, and 27 consultations promoted.

Our job advertising service has improved after the pandemic, generating 185 job advertisements during the year, generating £7,400 income. Working in partnership with the

Volunteer Centres and the new Mutual Aid Groups, we also advertised 105 volunteering vacancies.

CVS Associates

CVS-SG has several consultants on which we can draw to provide high quality support services over and above that which our SLA supports CVS to do directly and Associates can enable VCSE organisations to progress, develop and grow. This year their work has included:

South Gloucestershire Council won Locality’s Keep it Local Award in 2019 and this led to the development of a new approach to the VCSE sector in the area. Keep it Local has a steering group comprising the Independent Chair of the Compact group, CVS’s Chief Executive, two representatives put forward by the VCSE Leaders Board, the BNSSG CCG/ICS and officers from across South Glos. Council. A small ‘core’ group consisting of two SGC officers, CVS’s CEO, the Compact group Chair and Southern Brooks CEO. The aim to expand the larger steering group and maintain the oversight of the core group has worked well and the work has progressed with two co-production pilot projects and the leaming from these is informing the actions of the Keep It Local group. The partnership in design, development and delivery of services is an essential role for the sector to play into the future and CVS's role in supporting and developing the sector to play a part in this important new way of working is fundamental. Local funders and other public bodies are to be invited to join some of the workstreams and sessions of Keep It Local, including the plan for securing of long-term investment for the VCSE in South Gloucestershire, looking at a pan-SGC commissioning and procurement approach and considering the outcomes sought.

The South Gloucestershlre Compact

During the year we continued to support the work of the South Gloucestershire Compact Implementation Group. Our Chief Executive works with the independent Chair of the group to set the agendas and recruit members.

During the past year the group has been meeting again in order to refresh the Compact in South Gloucestershire, as set out in the South Gloucestershire Council Plan 2020-24. The new Compact document will be consulted on by the VCSE sector and Compact members in Spring 2022.

it is also being considered and consulted on, that the Compact reports to the Safer and Stronger Communities partnership instead of the LSP as a more relevant and statutory partnership group which will also help to balance that partnership towards stronger communities against ‘safer which has been the dominant influence. The South Gloucestershire Equalities Voice Partnership

Supporting this network forms part of the Service Level Agreement which CVS holds with South Glos. Council. The partners of Equalities Voice are: South Gloucestershire Race TheEqualityDiversityNetworkTrust,(SGREN),SouthernSouthBrooksGloucestershireCommunity Partnerships,Disability EqualityOver 50’sNetworkForum(SGDEN),and Age UK South Gloucestershire. We also enjoy the benefit of having SARI as Equalities Voice members but funded through delivery of the Hate Crime service for the South Glos. SGC’s Equality & Diversity Officer works closely with Equalities Voice organises sessions where SG Council managers bring their service area’s strategies and plans into a co-productive space where with Equalities Voice, they focus on ways to tackle some of their inequality, diversity and inclusion challenges. This work is funded by SGC and is a step forward for both tackling inequalities and in collaboration with the VCSE sector.

Volunteer Centres

There are four South Gloucestershire Volunteer Centres: Yate, Filton Patchway and the Stokes and Kingswood, which are run by Southem Brooks Community Partnerships (SBCP) and Thornbury Volunteer Centre which is independently run. The Volunteer Partnership in South Gloucestershire also includes a Chair from the Over-50’s Forum and is facilitated by CVS and funded through an ‘infrastructure’ Service Level Agreement with SGC. The partnership supports and encourages good practice in volunteering and seeks to help people access volunteering opportunities that benefit them, the organisation they volunteer for, service recipients and our communities. Coming out of the pandemic the cost-of-living, health and social care crises and the social and health-related after-effects are having a big impact on volunteering and work. The recent crisis in Ukraine though has again seen people step forward to volunteer their homes and families for refugee ‘guests’ for six months. The use of websites, social media and more traditional methods of prompting volunteering is part of the discussion in the South Glos. partnership and in the WoE-CSP with the feasibility study into connecting systems, organisations and opportunities onto a West of England platform.

The past two years of pandemic has led to both an awareness of the value of volunteering and questions about the role(s) of volunteers going forward — will people re-join the roles and activities they undertook previously and/or will a new generation of volunteers be ready for new challenges?

National charities and volunteer platforms have been keen to promote themselves as solutions. One can search the 'Do IT' national database of volunteering opportunities.

Search for voluntary work on Charity Job, the UK’s largest online jobs board for the not-forprofit sector or go to Volunteering matters website however in reality, most volunteering is done locally. This makes sense in a number of ways, including environmentally, and although local Volunteer Centres are not well known nor supported enough, they have an important role to play in promoting good quality volunteering (opportunity, recruitment and management). To focus on supporting local VCSE organisations and local centres that can provide the right support to both volunteers and the organisations that require them, remains both an ongoing and an important role for CVS.

VCSE Survey(s)

CVS has not undertaken its traditional large-scale and comprehensive annual survey of the VCSE sector in South Gloucestershire for three years due to the situation we found ourselves in and the ever-increasing volume of surveys going to VCSE organisations, many of whom are struggling with staffing and resources to run their operation well. On that basis CVS has been sending out short and very focussed surveys on particular sector issues. Thesevalue areof informationin theory easierdata, toconnections engage-withand andevidencingoffer relevantof outcomes and up-to-dateis growinginformation.and, weThewill need to evolve our approaches in order to obtain good quality and meaningful information on the sector in South Gloucestershire and how we can share it appropriately and safely with our partners.

| ; | | | | | |

It will also be important to work with partners, particularly public sector, to develop foresight about upcoming opportunities and challenges and help the sector to prepare for them.

Climate Action

In terms of preparation for forthcoming challenges the impacts of the climate and nature emergencies, we have been continuing the work with the Council's Senior Environmental Policy & Climate Change Officer to support our Climate Action Groups and network and to develop the role of the sector in addressing climate and nature through CVS’s membership standards.

A partnership of CVS, SGC and Southem Brooks Community Partnerships have developed a two-year project to widen the inclusivity and support more action. This attracted grant investment from Quartet Foundation, and we are awaiting confirmation of SGC’s matchfunding element, so that we can begin targeting those least likely to be involved in climate action and, in parallel, most affected by its impacts. We will be supporting the development of new climate emergency groups, local action on climate change and increasing locally accessible green spaces for the benefit of all. The partnership as it develops will engage with existing climate emergency groups as well as wider stakehoKer partners such as housing associations and other third sector organisations to create maximum benefit.

Financial Review of 2021-22

Funding

This financial year, South Gloucestershire Council extended its three-year (2018 — 2021) Service Level Agreement for an additional! year. This grant funds some of our work and we continued to manage funding on behalf of the four Volunteer Centres and South Gloucestershire Equalities Voice partnership.

We have maintained our charged-for services, primarily within our Associates structure, retaining quality in its offer and communicating clearly how this fits with CVS’s paid-for support to the sector, and its membership offer. We continued to work in partnership with Thornbury Volunteer Centre, and Southern Brooks Community Partnerships, SGREN, SGDEN, West of England Rural Network (WERN) and The Care Forum (TCF).

We were successful, in several bids to deliver support for local organisations and see this as a potential area of growth in the future, whilst our core service must be recognised and paidfor by a combination of the sector and the public services that the VCSE supports.

We received additional funding from South Gloucestershire Council to support the Community Cohesion in Cheswick Village. We ran a series of events to get the community together which were well attended and appreciated by local people. Community research was carried out to establish the needs and aspirations of the area, and further funding youthsubsequentlywork. secured from Member Awarded Funding has enabled the commissioning of Reserves Policy In line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission, the trustees have reviewed the charity's need for reserves. The charity requires unrestricted reserves approximately equal to around three months running costs, equating to around £23,300. The Trustees believe that this represents a minimum level of reserves necessary to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the charity for the benefit of its clients. The charity has unrestricted funds of £92,691 of which £41,000 has been designated to ensure that the charity has the funds to cover redundancy and wind up costs. The excess of unrestricted funds of £28,391 have been allocated to safeguard against future income generating shortfalls and towards the exploration of new future business opportunities.
