Structure, governance and management

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisa�on. Trustees are appointed by a vote of the membership. The trustees can be assisted with the day to day running of the charity by a management commi�ee made up of charity members appointed by the trustees as well as other individuals that the trustees appoint. To assist with the running of the charity the trustees can buy in specific skills as and when needed.

The charity governing document uses the Charity Commission model cons�tu�on for Charitable Incorporated Organisa�ons. This document was last updated on 15 January 2014.

projects. We failed to a�ract funding for our core opera�ons but, with our reduc�on in core ac�vi�es and cost saving measures our core costs were minimal, thanks to the efforts of our volunteers.

We hold £148 to support the Malmesbury Medical Artli� project. No funds were used in this year.

Our Walks Group had built up funds over several years for the next stage of its work. We hold £1725. Plans are ongoing and the only expenditure this year was £116.70 spent of Ordnance Survey licenses to provide free maps online for the White Walls Way.

We hold £400 in our project fund which is available for small community projects. There was no expenditure this year.

We hold funds to support the Malmesbury Against Plas�cs community group in their work. We hold £200 and expenditure for the year was nothing.

22 January 2026

We hold £34 to support the running of a community repair cafe, and £57 to support the Abbey Art Group.

We hold a remaining £70 to support local Warm Spaces schemes from earlier projects.

In 2015-16 the trustees took the decision to cut back on ac�vi�es, stop paying for project management and administra�on support, and limit opera�ons to those that could be sustained in the long term. New projects will only be undertaken if funding is completely in place before work begins. This decision has resulted in a significant reduc�on in the amount of work that MVCAP take on, but it ensures that the organisa�on will remain produc�ve and financially viable in the medium to long term.

problems between approved spending and receipt of grant monies. It is also available for alloca�on by the trustees in an emergency or to cover shutdown costs should the trustees consider the charity to be no longer viable in the long term.

Spending is only approved by the management commi�ee in the following circumstances:

MVCAP already has the available funds in its bank account beyond the ring-fenced reserve and expected running costs
A grant award has been formally approved and MVCAP is awai�ng payment
A project has been proven to be self-funding

The management commi�ee will not approve any expenditure in advance of receipt of funding that exceeds the total unallocated funds in the MVCAP bank account including the financial reserve.

Financial strength and viability

Running costs for charity for the year were maintained at a minimal level this year. We an�cipate that it may be difficult to keep spending this low in the coming years due to infla�on. We intend to also give grants to support community ini�a�ves. For planning purposes, and to allow for the unexpected, we have used an annual es�mated spend on core costs and grants of £750 to determine ongoing viability of the charity. Excluding the ring-fenced reserve fund, the charity holds sufficient general funds to maintain these levels of expenditure for at least two years if no addi�onal funding becomes available.

con�nue to operate for the foreseeable future. However, should they in the future decide that the charity needs to close for whatever reason, MVCAP has no debts or liabili�es and has sufficient funds to ensure an orderly closure. In such a circumstance, the trustees are commi�ed to ensuring that excess funds would be transferred to an established charity or chari�es that share MVCAP’s charitable objec�ves.

The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the commission in exercising their powers or du�es.
