## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objects** 

The charity's purposes, as set out in the objects contained in the company's Memorandum of Association, are to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in East Cheshire and surrounding areas, by the advancement of education, the protection and preservation of health and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress. 

The charity's objectives are defined as above.  Our aims are focused on: 

- Providing the advice people need for the problems they face, and 

- Improving the policies and practices that affect people's lives. 

## **Objectives, strategies and activities for the year** 

Cheshire East Citizens Advice Bureau North trading as Citizens Advice Cheshire North (otherwise referred to as CACN in these accounts) aims to provide free, confidential, impartial and independent advice, information and advocacy for the benefit of the local community, to exercise a responsible influence on the development of social policies by research and campaigning to ensure individuals do not suffer through a lack of knowledge or an inability to express their needs effectively. 

In addition to the continuing provision of high quality advisory services to the local community, the primary objectives for the year were to continue extending the means of service provision to more locations, however for a second year due to the consequences of Covid we were required to maintain an altered way of delivering our service though were able to reintroduce a stepped increase in face to face support across all our services and venues. 

While Covid continued to impact on how we delivered our service to local people and was also the direct cause of some of our volunteer advisers leaving our service, we were still able to maintain a level of service that dealt with more clients and enquiries than before Covid in 2019. 

As many of the people accessing our support are living with varying mental health issues, we have sought to address this growing client group head on and looked for further funding for a specialised service, specifically for adults with mental health issues. The existing project for this client group, operated jointly with Stockport and District Mind, encountered some operational problems following the death of the Chief Officer at Mind; this caused a very long hiatus in service delivery that in fact ran for almost 10 months. 

Despite the problem working with Stockport and District Mind, CACN are still committed to working in collaboration with other delivery partners and to making the best value of all opportunities for joint working and sharing resources.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit** 

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding the activities undertaken by the organisation during the year. The trustees are satisfied that the information provided in the report and accounts meets the public benefit reporting requirements. 

The principal activity of CACN remained the provision of free, confidential, independent and impartial advice, information and advocacy for members of the public across Cheshire East. Covid continued to limit our opportunities for face to face over the last 12 months however we have grown the face to face options for clients and by the end of the financial year were operating a face to face opportunity on all of venue towns. 

In addition to generalist advice the following specialist advice services were provided: 

- Welfare Benefit Advice 

- Money Management and Debt Advice 

- Employment Advice 

- Advocacy Service for users with mental health problems 

- Housing and Homelessness 

- Support for families living with fuel poverty 

Through funds held on behalf of Cheshire East Council, as well as direct information and advice to clients, we have also been able to make payment toward domestic fuel, whilst applying a robust criteria for access to this fund. The £10,000 fund for this offer was a one off and there has been no indication that it will be available for future years. 

## **Volunteers** 

The Charity receives help and support in the form of voluntary assistance in advising the public and administering the charity. 

25 volunteers contributed approximately 7,800 hours of work to the service during the year. We estimate the value of this help at £109,200  in respect of the year. (2020/21 - £101,100 for 5,472 hours). 

The 8 trustees are also volunteers and provide another 2,900 hours a year, at an additional value of £53,070 (2020/21 £42,020). 

This gives a total of volunteer manpower valued at £162,270 (2020/21 £142,120).

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

The key achievements in the year were:- 

- Providing advice across our area of benefit, to ensure as many people as possible can access advice, despite the pandemic lockdowns.  All our paid staff shifted to a hybrid of home and office working, as did many of our client-facing volunteers. 

- We have continued to use a local number for an ansaphone service that allows local users to leave their details with a summary  of their problem and expect a call back within about 24 hours during the normal working day. 

- We secured 12 months funding for additional mental health services and hope to use these as examples of best practice and obtain additional continuation funding. 

- Providing further specialist services including Money & Debt Advice, Employment, Benefits and Housing, in addition to our General Advice Service. 

- Working with Cheshire East Council to ease fuel poverty. 

- Working with Knutsford Lions and their "Wenceslas scheme", which is funded through gifting of the Government's "Winter Fuel Payments" by those people who feel they do not need them.  This allows clients to access funds to relieve fuel poverty. 

- Acting as a Hate Crime Reporting Centre and promoting access equality. 

- Involvement in Research and Campaigns Groups, the main activities being focussed on  Universal Credit. 

During the year CACN provided high quality, free advice to clients, with over 8,480 client contacts during the year. These contacts were generated from 3,589 unique clients bringing 8,480 different enquiries during the year. (2020/21 4,603 unique clients with 10,448 enquiries). 

Enquiries continue to consist of several complex issues. 

Debt 10% (2020/21 12%) 

Welfare benefits 50% (2020/21 47%) 

Employment 5% (2020/21 10%) 

Housing 8% (2020/21 8%) 

Relationships 6% (2020/21 6%) 

In addition, over 60 million people accessed the national CitA advice website in 2021, with many of these people going on to contact local offices. 

Following on from the lessons learned during Covid and the home/office working hybrid we operated, we have maintained flexibility for members of our team to retain a blend of home and office working, though this is totally optional. 

## **Investment activities** 

The charity holds some of its reserves in cash in short term deposits with a term of 12 months or less.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Factors affecting the achievement of objectives** 

The major factor affecting the achievement of objectives remains funding and the broader financial hangover from Covid. 2022 will be the year that our core Universal Information and Advice contract with Cheshire East Council is retendered and while there is only an increasing demand for our service, it is unpredictable whether this will be reflected in the value of the contract the is put out for tender. 

The quality of our advice is key to our success and to ensure the bureau is maintaining high standards it regularly seeks external accreditation. Our Customer Service and Advice Quality are audited under national Citizens Advice standards, and for 2019/20 we have been within the highest level of compliance. 

The trustee board extend their gratitude to Will McKellar, Jenny Archard and Jenny Owen in promoting an environment where staff and volunteers still feel they are a key resource and are fully motivated, despite everything that Covid has delivered. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Incoming resources in the year were £345,994 (2020/21 £374,116). Of this £116,732 (2020/21 £133,172) related to restricted project activities. 

A surplus of £18,150 was made in the year (2020/21 £44,204) after offsetting £4,570 against restricted funds. 

At 31 March 2022 total funds were £327,600 (31 March 2021 £309,450) of which £12,837 was in restricted funds (2020/21 £17,407l) , £113,000 was in designated funds (2020/21 £86,000) and £201,763 was in unrestricted funds (2020/21 £206,043). 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The trustees extend their gratitude to Cheshire East Council who continued to support the core universal generalist advice service of the charity. Wilmslow, Macclesfield, Knutsford and Poynton Town Councils are now funding advice services in their localities. Additionally, service specific funding was received via contracts from Cheshire East Council, Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group, the Money and Pensions Service and the Department for Work and Pensions. 

The charity received Covid support funds from Cheshire East Council of £10,000 in 2020/21 to support people experiencing problems paying their domestic fuel bills. £8,737 was carried over to 2021/22 of which £3,100 was distributed. £5,637 will be carried over into 2022-23. 

The charity did not have any borrowings from any providers of funding or other sources at the balance sheet date. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

As required in its Memorandum paragraph 4.19, furtherance of its objects, and for no other purposes, the Bureau has the power to Invest the monies of the Bureau not immediately required for its purposes in or upon such investments, securities or property as may be thought fit, subject nevertheless to such conditions and such consents as may for the time being be imposed or required by law. 

## **Reserves policy** 

CACN is required to ensure that free monies are available in each financial year to meet any reasonable foreseeable contingency. The bureau will maintain a projection of income for at least 2 years ahead and will ensure that this continues to be derived from as wide a variety of sources as possible. It will take all necessary steps to ensure that at no time within this period would it be possible for the cessation of one or more funding streams to present so serious a challenge to the future of the organisation that it could not be managed so as to continue to provide a best value advice service. 

In reviewing the potential costs that could arise should a significant reduction in income be incurred the Trustees have determined that 'free' reserves should be between three and six months normal operating expenditure, as recommended by Citizens Advice. This year the bureau has achieved this position. 

The reasons for holding particular reserves are outlined in note 9. 

## **Going concern** 

CACN reported a surplus of £18,150 for the year 2021/22 (£44,204 2020/21), and predicts a small deficit in 2022/23. After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that CACN has adequate resources in reserves and agreed funding to continue to operate for the 12 months from the date of signing this report. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Funds in deficit** 

No funds were in deficit at the balance sheet date. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

We have scoped the need and demand for a service that reaches out more to people within the community and are now developing a "Reach Out" service which will enable our advisers to assist clients within other community venues as well as their own homes. Lessons learned from 2020/21 and Covid are that we can work in different ways and remain accessible to our community, though we also know that for many people, face to face advice is vital. 

Our Money Advice work has flagged up access issues within our existing funded contract for debt casework that puts many clients who do not "fit in" with a strict schedule and consequently we are investigating ways to meet this demand. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

Cheshire East Citizens Advice Bureau North was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 11th February 2009. The charity commenced operations on 1st April 2009 at which date the assets and liabilities of the unincorporated Macclesfield Wilmslow and District Citizens Advice Bureau were acquired. This charity having been formed on 7th October 1997 as a merger of the Wilmslow and Macclesfield bureaux, which were originally constituted in 1940 and 1966 respectively. The maximum liability of each member is limited to £1 and at 31 March 2022 the company had 8 members (2021: 7). 

Cheshire East Citizens Advice Bureau North is a registered charity. Following a re-branding exercise by the national Citizens Advice service in 2015 the company is now known as Citizens Advice Cheshire North (otherwise referred to as CACN in these accounts). Outreaches are sometimes referred to as Citizens Advice Wilmslow, Citizens Advice Knutsford or Citizens Advice Poynton. 

The Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended on 24 February 2009, 12 September 2016 and 11 September 2017 are the governing documents of the charity. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Trustees, who are also Directors of the Company, are elected from the local community. An Elections Committee, made up of Trustees, the Company Secretary and chaired by the Chair is established to oversee the elections process for Board appointments. A separate process agreed by the Trustee Board is followed for the appointment of the chair, vice chair and treasurer at the first board meeting after an Annual General Meeting. No other persons or bodies external to the charity were entitled to appoint persons to the Trustee Board. 

Recruitment of new Trustees is based on an assessment of the needs of the Board, taking account of experience and skills. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Newly appointed Trustees are provided with a comprehensive induction to CACN through the provision of training courses, an introduction to the work of the bureau and mentoring by established trustees. Trustees are encouraged and assisted to take the lead for an area of responsibility. 

## **Organisational structure** 

CACN 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 CACN and for ensuring that the charity satisfies its legal and contractual obligations. Trustees meet as a minimum bi-monthly and delegate the day-to-day operation of the organisation to senior management. The Trustee Board is independent from management. A register of members' interests is maintained at the registered address, and is available to the public.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Related parties** 

CACN is a member of Citizens Advice, the national association for the Citizens Advice service throughout the United Kingdom. Membership of the national association requires the charitable company to adhere to rigorous standards in respect of governance, organisational practices and quality of advice. The Citizens Advice Membership Scheme requires member organisations to undergo an audit of organisational standards and quality of advice by Citizens Advice auditors every three years. CACN had a membership audit in  2019 and was successful in both the Quality of Advice and Organisational parts of the audit. 

The charity also co-operates and liaises with a number of other advisory services, local charities, local government departments including social services, health workers and other third parties on behalf of clients. Where one of the trustees holds the position of trustee/director of another charity they may be involved in discussions regarding that other charity but not in the ultimate decision-making process. 

## **Risk management** 

CACN performs an annual Risk Management exercise. A risk management strategy and risk register were agreed by the Trustee Board. 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 CACN 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 are minimised by the procedures in place, which result 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 bureau. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. 

Cheshire East Council remain our largest single funder and should they continue to pass on its own restrictions in funding to organisations like ours, the consequences will only cause further hardship and a reduction in our capacity to maintain current delivery. Due to this we are consistently looking to diversify our income streams, and have made significant strides to maintain the funding support from the Money and Pensions Service (MAPS), Town Councils in Wilmslow, Poynton, Knutsford and Macclesfield. In addition, we have had grants from Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group, Cheshire Community Foundation, the Community Fund and government funding via Citizens Advice for Help to Claim Universal Credit.

- so far as we are aware there is no relevant information of which the company's independent examiners are unaware; and

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

Citizens Advice Cheshire North is a charity limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 6 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are in providing advice and counselling to the general public. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.  The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Income** 

## **Grants receivable** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Bank interest** 

Bank interest is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on receipt. 

## **Other income** 

Sales of services are included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. Other income, including donations , gifts and covenants, are included as they are received. 

## **Gifts and intangible income** 

In addition to the above, the charity also receives help and support in the form of voluntary assistance in advising the public. This help and support is not included in the financial statements. However, its value to the charity has been estimated and disclosed in the trustees' report. 

## **Deferred income** 

Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charitable company earns the right to the consideration by its performance. Where income is received in advance of performance it is treated as deferred income and included within creditors. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Designated funds are allocated out of unrestricted funds by the trustees for specific purposes. The use of such funds is at the trustees' discretion.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Cash flow** 

Citizens Advice Cheshire North has taken advantage of the exemptions in FRS1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small company.

## **11. PENSION COSTS** 

Pension contributions for all eligible staff are paid automatically each month. Total contributions for the year ended 31st March 2022 amounted to £7,990 (2021 £8,005).  All pensions are defined contribution schemes. 

## **12. FUNDS RECEIVED AS CUSTODIAN AGENT** 

CACN acts as custodian of some funds for other local charities to enable rapid distribution to clients when needed. At the year end these were:- 

£397 on behalf of Wilmslow Aid Trust, a charity that gives grants to local people in need in the Wilmslow area; the monies often being used for travel expenses if they have to visit the Macclesfield CACN office. 

£78 on behalf of Knutsford and District Lions Club - a Wenceslas project, which collects donated Winter Fuel monies to help the less fortunate avoid fuel debt, and a Knutsford area hardship fund. 

£510 on behalf of Rina's fund, which the organisation administers to fund "Debt Relief Orders" for money advice clients who don't have the £90 fee. A debt relief order is a way to have debts written off if a client has a relatively low level of debt and few assets. 

These funds are held separately from the rest of the CACN operation.
