## TRUSTEES’ REPORT 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP “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)”. 

## Objectives and activities 

VCAEC objectives are: 

- + To promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community in the local government district of East Cambridgeshire and its neighbourhood and, in particular, the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness. 

- + 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 East Cambridgeshire and its neighbourhood. 

- + To bring together representatives of the local and statutory sectors so that areas of mutual concern can be discussed. 

- + To feedback the concerns of local groups to policy makers, as part of the local government network. - To particularly support the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness. 

- + To seek to challenge forms of expression and inequality and to give priority to working with people 

- Providedwhose full participation in society is limited by economic, political and social disadvantage. that in carrying out these charitable purposes, VCAEC will seek to challenge all forms of oppression and 

- inequality and to give priority to working with people whose full participation in society by economic, political and social disadvantage. 

## Public benefit 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## Activities 

The Trustees are pleased that we have continued to provide invaluable services to the community this year. 

Given that the added value of volunteers working for the organisation, as office volunteers, drivers, gardeners and trustees, we estimate a further £11,008 of assistance in monetary terms (based on Sanctuary Housing's hourly rate and on costs for voluntary work of £14.05 per hour). This has not taken into account the volunteers we have recruited and deployed to other voluntary organisations in East Cambridgeshire who, in turn, are generating voluntary hours and adding value on a daily basis. Whilst this is an impossible figure to monitor or quantify, it still provides thousands of pounds of added value to the local community. 

The Social Car Scheme continues to be popular and demand is growing. It is a vital service largely providing transport to medical appointments. It is particularly important as the existing transport infrastructure is inadequate in this rural area. 24 volunteer drivers undertook 3,771 journeys covering 73,356 miles and using 4,504 volunteer driver hours. The Helping Hands gardening project which is supported by a hard working team of 9 volunteers also continue to be in demand. We completed 311 tasks from small maintenance jobs to complete garden clearances. This project continues to benefit both the volunteers on the project and those for whom the work is completed. The volunteers carried out 2,325 hours of work during the year.

## TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 

## nn 

However, the core costs of delivering the services have continued to increase over this year. We have worked hard as always to reduce these costs whilst continuing to maintain a good level of service. External funding to support these activities is always difficult to find. This year it has been particularly challenging to obtain additional funding as we are always bidding for this in competition with other valuable charitable services. We are, therefore, very grateful to our funders who have provided us with eh resources to continue running our services this year. Achievements and performance Significant activities and achievements against objectives Financial review The operating surplus in the unrestricted general fund for the period amounted to £97 (2024 - £3,803). The operating surplus in the restricted funds for the period amounted to £1,375 (2024 - deficit £4,086). 

## Going concern 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. 

## Reserves policy 

The Trustees consider it prudent to hold reserves to cover anticipated future running costs. The General Funds and the Emergency operating funds stands at £19,917 (2024 - £22,275) which together with the funding already promised secures the future of the volunteer centre for the forthcoming year. 

Sufficient reserves are maintained to ensure that the charity's future expenditure objectives can be met, given certain assumptions made about future income streams. The Trustees believe that a 3 month provision should be sufficient, 

## Structure, governance and management 

The Charity's constitution was adopted on 16 March 2015. Voluntary and Community Action East Cambridgeshire (VCAEC) was established many years ago as a Charitable Organisation. The whole undertaking of the Charitable Association (Registration No. 1039159) was passed to the Charitable Incorporated organisation (CIO) on 1 April 2015 and the Charitable Association was removed from the Charity Commissioner's register on February 2017. The ClO constitution was adopted on 16 March 2015 in preparation for the transfer on 1 April 2015. 

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: 

E Every, Chairperson R Mair S Twigden (Resigned 2 June 2025) D Ogilvie S Uttridge (Resigned 6 January 2025) D Pasek C Mason (Appointed 27 February 2025) 

## Recruitment and appointment of trustees 

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. Voluntary and Community Action East Cambridgeshire (VCAEC) and its property shall be administered and managed in accordance with its constitution by the members of the Board of Trustees. Members of the management committee and trustees are listed on page 1

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 

## eee 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wates requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable 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 charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Sacer 

## 1 Accounting policies 

## Charity information 

Voluntary & Community Action East Cambridgeshire is Charitable incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered on 16 March 2015. 

1.1 Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP “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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## 1.2 Going concern 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

1.4 Income Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured retiably, and it is probable that income will be received, 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies 

## (Continued) 

1.5 Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

- 1.6 Property, plant and equipment 

   - Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

|Other fixed assets|4 years straight line|
|---|---|
|Computers|3 or 5 years straight ;ine|
|Motorvehicles|20%reducingbalance|



The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

- 1.7 Impairment of non-current assets 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

- 1.8 Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

- 1.9 Financial instruments 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

## (Continued) 

## Basic financial assets 

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## Basic financial liabilities 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

## Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities, Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## Derecognition of financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## 1.10 Employee benefits 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## 1.11 Retirement benefits 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
