Lancaster District Community and Voluntary Solutions COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022
Our purpose, aims and activities for the year 2021-22:
Lancaster District Community and Voluntary Solutions (LDCVS) is an infrastructure organisation that exists to support and strengthen the sustainability, independence and ability of community, voluntary and faith and social enterprise organisations to deliver services and activities that support individuals and communities in the Lancaster District. Currently we have over 400 local organisations as members of LDCVS and also a number of public sector and corporate bodies that are associate members. In addition, we offer support to individuals with volunteering through our Volunteer Centre.
Our Objects, which are contained in our governing document (Memorandum and Articles) are:
-
e TO promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community with particular reference to the local government district of Lancaster (hereinafter called "the area of benefit") and, in particular, the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness.
-
e To promote and organise co-operation in the achievement of the above purposes and to that end to bring together in council representatives of the voluntary organisations and statutory authorities within the area of benefit.
The aims of our charity are to
-
e Ensure our members are well supported to deliver the best outcomes and that their expertise is valued and maximised.
-
e Work with our members to shape local services to best meet local needs.
-
e Bring organisations together to build relationships, share support and learn from each other. e Help our members access the resources, funding and support they need.
Our aims fully reflect the purposes (objects) that the charity was set up to further and we review them, together with our objectives and activities, each year to assess the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to our beneficiaries. This review also helps us to ensure our aims, objectives and activities are focused on our stated purposes and how planned activities contribute to the aims and objectives set by the Trustee Board. In considering these, the trustees of LDCVS believe they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The focus of our work:
Our overall mission has been, and remains, to promote, develop and support, through partnership, a dynamic and diverse voluntary and community sector. In setting out our aims and objectives we have also defined the outcomes that will demonstrate whether we met them and whether our activities have brought about benefits to those organisations and individuals we work with. Our business plan details further these activities and the associated indicators.
Achievements and performance:
In addition to this brief Trustees report the Chief Officer has prepared a more detailed report of our activities and the outcomes which will be sent to members and can be supplied to anyone else with an interest in our charity.
The measures associated with the continuing Covid 19 pandemic affected many aspects of our lives in the early part of our year. It had a particular impact on the focus of our work and the services provided by organisations in the Lancaster District. During the second half of our year our focus shifted towards recovery from the most severe phase of the pandemic and its impact on the voluntary sector and most particularly on initiatives to build organisational and individual resilience. LDCVS played a key role in this activity, acting as a liaison between different groups and signposting individuals to where help and support could be offered. We also played a key role, as administrators, in the operation of an ‘Urgent Response Fund’, a fund established by our team to help organisations provide support to individuals during the pandemic. We continue to be a member of the multi-agency task group set up to oversee this fund.
Although this meant a shift in our focus we also continued with our more traditional activities throughout the year. These included taking the lead in a number of partnership forums including the ‘Voluntary Community

Lancaster District Community and Voluntary Solutions COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022
Faith Social Enterprise leadership Forum’; the ‘Community Action Network,’ the ‘Morecambe Inter Agency Group’, the ‘Children, Young People and Families forum’, the ‘Voluntary Community Faith Social Enterprise Emergency Partnership Group’. In addition, we were involved in providing a voice for the local sector by our involvement with a number of strategic partnerships including the Integrated Care Partnership, the Lancashire Voluntary Community Faith Social Enterprise Alliance and leaders Forum, Population Health Management Group the Lancaster District Community Conversation and working in partnership with Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and the Morecambe Bay Clinical Commissioning Group. We continue to be a trusted partner with the West End Millions and Creative Civic change funds that were established to develop the West End of Morecambe. We have continued to provide the Volunteer Centre for the district and this year have instigated, and lead, the Lancaster District Voluntary Sector Leadership Forum which has a current membership of 49 organisations. The centre is a member of NCVO and therefore complies with the requirement to provide a service that covers the core areas of work for a volunteer centre.
Financial services support:
Our support for local organisations includes financial services support and this broadly falls into three categories;
-
e Grant Administration We continued to administer grant programmes on behalf of leading funders both locally and nationally within our Bay Foundation. Our role is to provide advice to groups on these grants, support the work of each of the decision panels, prepare reports and information material, draw up funding agreements, make payments and coordinate monitoring returns.
-
e Financial Services We continued to provide a cost efficient and effective financial service to some local groups to help implement and operate their own accounting and financial management systems.
The Volunteer Centre:
Our Volunteer Centre remained as the key local volunteering development organisation within the district. The centre has links with local, regional and national agencies in policy and practice relating to volunteering. We engaged with a wide range of people including those recovering from mental health issues, alcohol and drug addiction, criminal justice and those long term unemployed. Whilst we recognise that volunteering can bring enormous amounts of benefits to individuals and organisations (life experiences), it also required a great deal of partnership working to ensure people are supported into volunteering. A large percentage of people seeking opportunities had come from difficult backgrounds and were looking to rebuild their lives through volunteering. These were the very reasons for co-designing programmes that helped build resilience amongst families, individuals and communities.
Financial review:
The total expenditure for the year was £606,372 (2021: £402,767) and income was £705,148 (2021: £335,743) giving a net operating profit of £98,776 (2021: net operating loss of £67,024) leaving funds carried forward to 2022-23 of £240,363 (2021-22: £141,587).
Our main source of funding for our core costs, which reduced slightly compared to the previous financial year, was Lancashire County Council. We also received funding from Lancaster City Council along with project funding from various sources to reach a total income from grants and contracts of £646,707 (2021: £298,139). Our income from services provided to other organisations was £58,124 (2021: £37,574).
The Trustees are aware that all funding streams remain under threat of reduction or withdrawal and they continue to diligently monitor the budget and work to establish new sources of funding.
Principal financial management policies adopted in the year:
A budget for the year was established and agreed prior to the beginning of the financial year and it was monitored and amended as necessary over the period.
Management accounts were prepared and presented monthly to the board of Trustees for their monitoring and analysis of income and expenditures against the budget.
4
Lancaster District Community and Voluntary Solutions COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022
Policies regarding spending authorities, operation of petty cash systems and payment of expenses are held by the Charity and are reviewed at intervals.
Reserves policy:
The Trustees believe that the Charity should hold financial reserves in order that it might meet anticipated future costs contingent liabilities and that it can continue to operate and meet the needs of users in the present uncertain funding environment. In consequence, they have, to date, set aside £55,000 for this purpose and intend to increase this amount when further general funds are available. The Trustees routinely review the amount that should be held in reserve to meet contractual commitments and running costs in the event of significant reductions or withdrawals of funding which may have a damaging effect on continued operations.
Principal funding sources:
The main sources of grant funding were the National Lottery (Community Fund) and Lancaster City Council, both core cost grants. We also generated income via the Bay Foundation (see above) in respect of grant administration on behalf of Funders. We enjoyed prepayments of grants and project fees from the County and City authorities along with the National Lottery of £102,000 which led to a comparatively large carry forward of funds from the year ending 30 June 2020.
Investment policy and objectives:
Funds which are not required immediately are held in easily accessed interest bearing accounts. This was deemed most appropriate since grant and income streams are occasionally subject to delays.
Risk Management:
The trustees review the risks at regular intervals and set up procedures to mitigate those risks.
The three main risks previously identified are the loss of major funding, insufficient trustees; and the loss of one or more key staff.
Subsidiaries: none to report
Plans for the future:
The Trustees are committed to growth of the organisation both in terms of scale and reach. We will continue to invest in effective infrastructure and our staff to maintain and improve the quality and range of services which we offer in our district.
To ensure that Lancaster District Community and Voluntary Solutions is robust and sustainable we will constantly review the strategic direction of our organisation. Funding is crucial to this and we continue to identify possible opportunities to ensure a diverse funding profile.
However, we note that without the financial support of our current funders we would not be able to deliver this vital service and would like to take this opportunity to thank Lancaster City Council and Morecambe Bay Clinical Commissioning Group. We would also like to thank any other/trust/organisation that has supported us, either financially or in other ways, throughout the year.
Finally:
The Trustee Board would like to thank our Chief Officer, all our staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and for ensuring a highly valued service is delivered to the communities across North Lancashire.
Responsibilities of the Trustees:
The Trustees (who are also the directors of Lancaster District Community and Voluntary Solutions for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of Lancaster District Community and Voluntary Solutions for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act), as amended by section 28 of the Companies Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
= examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures on the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The : procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

- =" proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 386 if the Companies Act 2006); and "accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities; or
