## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association dated 22 April 2010. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £10.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association at each General Meeting, one third of the members of the Board, being those longest serving, shall retire, but shall be eligible for reappointment.
From time to time the existing trustees need to review the skills, experience and knowledge of the Committee, and this informs the appointment of new trustees.
The procedures to do this are:
• Identification by Members of the Committee of suitable candidates (i.e. their skills, experience, knowledge of the work and local community issues) via networks, and network organisations;
• Senior Managers discuss the vacancy opportunity with potential candidates & outline the nature of the organisation and its work;
• Interested candidates are invited to complete an application form and meet existing Members of the Committee at a Trustee meeting;
• Job Description / roles and responsibilities are discussed and agreed, and subject to agreement by Members of the Committee, interested and approved candidates are invited to join the Committee.

• Resource advice (financial, strategic, governance, equipment, hire of rooms and facilities) with positive, long term outcomes;
• A range of networking events highlighting new opportunities and challenges (Bassetlaw and Bolsover);
• Delivery of the Social Prescribing Link Worker Service, on behalf of all the 3 Primary Care Networks in Bassetlaw;
- Delivery of the Community Responders contract in Bassetlaw;

## **Achievements and performance**
Operating throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020/21 has been one of the most challenging years on record for BCVS, as it has for all local, national and global communities. We have worked ever closer with our stakeholders and partners to remain fully operational throughout and to enable the best support possible for the most vulnerable in our communities during the pandemic. This has particularly focused on:
- Provision of a Bassetlaw-wide humanitarian response in partnership with Bassetlaw District Council
- • and Bassetlaw Clinical Commissioning Group, which included the establishment of an emergency food hub based at the Centre for Sport and Learning, Manton, a volunteer led food and medication delivery service and check in calls for shielded and isolated citizens;
Page 3
## **Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service**
## **known as BCVS**
## **Trustees' Report**
- Volunteering brokerage support focused on two main areas – recruiting volunteers for the Emergency Food Hub and to support the COVID vaccination programme for 2 of the Bassetlaw Primary Care
- • Networks. We have provided a wide range of volunteering outreach and profile activities, in conjunction with local groups and organisations. We have ensured high levels of volunteer recruitment and placement through the brokerage scheme including face to face interviews. We have offered volunteer support and development to a range of local organisations.
In addition to focused support and the emergency response during the pandemic, BCVS has continued with business as usual support.
BCVS has established its reputation as a high-quality infrastructure support service. We have strong partnerships and good relationships with our stakeholders and funders which allow BCVS to react quickly to emerging community needs. We maintained both the ISO9001 Quality Award and NAVCA Accredited Volunteer Centre status. We remain members of NAVCA and NCVO ensuring BCVS has access to best practice and continuous professional development support for our staff and to share across the community and voluntary sector.
We have developed a well-used community facility from our Worksop base at the Old Abbey School offering offices and rooms to rent and meet in, although this necessarily reduced in live with government guidance during the national lockdowns. The continued use of social media within our communications plan supports our position as a leader in the local VSC community.
We have continued to grow our high performing team and restructured the organisation to add capacity to the growing delivery in Derbyshire and with NHS as the employer of Primary Care Network Link Workers (one additional Social Prescribing Link Worker during 20/21). We have extended our local support services to a wide range of organisations, community groups and charities in and around the area of Bassetlaw and wider county of Nottinghamshire.
With the support of County Council funding, we employed a Dementia Advisor, whose role is to provide support to individuals and their carers/family, connect them with wider voluntary and community sector support and to increase the number of community support groups/peer support groups across Bassetlaw.
We have continued to make a full contribution to the wider strategic development agenda through the Bassetlaw Public and Third Sector Partnership, The Nottinghamshire Together Partnership and the Bassetlaw CCG Integrated Care Partnership. BCVS also represent the VCS at the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Integrated Care System collaborative board. We represent the voice of the sector in Bolsover and wider Derbyshire as part of the North East and Bolsover Place Alliance and The Bolsover Partnership.
BCVS continues to work to empower the voluntary and community sector in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, enhancing communication, networks and providing a platform for the sector, in ever changing times. During the pandemic, the VCS Health and Social Care Forum changed into VCS ‘Conversation’ groups (Winter, Spring etc) which facilitated collaboration and positive communications across a range of organisations in Bassetlaw and the Voluntary Sector Forum in Bolsover, Derbyshire.
Our work in volunteer recruitment and support has placed people into active voluntary roles in the districts of Bassetlaw and Bolsover. The main focus during COVID has been recruitment of volunteers for the Emergency Food Hub and to support the COVID vaccination clinics in Bassetlaw.
We have also delivered the North Nottinghamshire Support Partnership (NNSP) in partnership with Bassetlaw Action Centre and Bassetlaw District Council.

## **Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service**
## **known as BCVS**
## **Trustees' Report**
BCVS is providing the Community Responders contract in Bassetlaw and in partnership with Nottinghamshire MIND, BCVS have delivered the Suicide Prevention programme for Bassetlaw.
BCVS is continuing to provide the VCS Infrastructure support tender for the District of Bolsover, Derbyshire and remain the Local Trusted Organisation for the Elmton, Hodthorpe and Creswell Big Local.
In Bolsover, BCVS worked with Derbyshire County Council to offer a volunteer led community support service for vulnerable and shielded citizens during COVID, including the provision of the Home from Hospital Service.
The Trustees of BCVS are a strong team, working together to support the staff, as well as the longer strategic direction of the organisation.
In early 2021 we were advised that our respected CEO, Catherine Burn, was moving on. Our sincere thanks goes to Catherine for all her hard work and dedication to BCVS and Bassetlaw over the past decade. We are delighted to welcome Andria Birch as our new CEO.
Thank you also goes to our funders for ongoing support which enables our work to continue.
## _**Policy on reserves**_
The BCVS Trustees policy on reserves is that free reserves have been set at 18 months of operating costs. At 31/3/21, we held 18 months in free (unrestricted) reserves.
## _**Principal risks and uncertainties**_
## _Grant Aid_
BCVS receives grant aid from Nottinghamshire County Council, Bassetlaw District Council, Bassetlaw Clinical Commissioning Group and holds contracts for service delivery with Bolsover District Council, Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group and Bassetlaw Clinical Commissioning Group.
The major risk to the BCVS is reducing Grant Aid for core infrastructure support.
BCVS continues to work hard and creatively to generate new sources of sustainable income and to ensure all activities have a sound financial basis. Current levels of reserves would cover BCVS operations for a 18 month period.
## **Plans for future periods**
## _**Aims and key objectives for future periods**_
During the next financial year, BCVS Trustees will be making financial investment into the following areas;
• Communications, IT infrastructure and data management systems to support the growth and development of the organisation including development of a new website;
• An office base in the Bolsover District to support the on the ground infrastructure delivery in the district;
- Continuous Professional Development of staff, trustees and volunteers.

## **Trustees' Report**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and 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 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and 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 trustees of Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's 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 charity’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**
Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies. 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.

## **Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service**
## **known as BCVS**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Gift aid**_
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Page 13
## **Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service**
## **known as BCVS**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Leasehold improvements|over the remaining life of the lease|
|IT equipment|33.3% straight line|
|General equipment|20.0% straight line|
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 14
## **Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service**
## **known as BCVS**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
