TRUSTEES’ REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Trustees of Rotherham Military Community Veterans Centre (MCVC) present their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2025. The Trustees have prepared the accounts on a Receipts and Payments basis, in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 pertaining to smaller charities.
Structure, Governance and Management
Rotherham Military Community Veterans Centre (MCVC) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission and governed by its Association Model Constitution which was adopted on 29 September 2016.
Prior to the incorporation of the CIO, Rotherham Military Community Veterans Centre (MCVC) was an unincorporated association. The CIO acquired the charitable funds and activities of the unincorporated Rotherham MCVC on 11 October 2016.
Membership of the CIO is open to those with previous military service (Regular Reserves), their families and dependants. In addition MCVC membership is open to anyone who is interested in furthering its purposes, and who, by applying for membership, has indicated agreement to become a member and acceptance of the duty of members to act in good faith to further the purposes of the CIO. If the CIO is wound up, the members have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities.
The affairs of the CIO are managed by its Board of Trustees who may exercise all powers of the CIO. The Trustees delegate day-to-day management of MCVC to the Executive Chair who has line management responsibilities for the Development Manager and the Executive Committee.
Appointment of Trustees
Trustees are nominated by other trustees and appointed by a resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting. There must be at least three trustees in office, with a maximum of twelve on the Board of Trustees. One third of the charity trustees shall retire from office at the AGM. The charity trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or re-appointment. If any trustees were last appointed or reappointed on the same day, those to retire will be determined by lot.
In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the Trustees have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
The Trustees who served during the period, and to the date of signing of this report, are listed on page 3 of this report.
Charitable Objectives
The objects of the charity, which are stated in the governing document, are:
To relieve the needs of and to promote the good health and wellbeing of ex-service personnel (HM Armed Forces) and their dependants in the Rotherham area, in particular but not exclusively by providing them with comradeship, help and assistance and by offering them a signposting service to expert support providers for their benefit.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Our Mission Statement
MCVC will provide comradeship and a signposting service to expert support providers for exservice personnel and their dependants in the Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council area and beyond.
Public Benefit
The trustees have taken due regard of guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in planning the objectives and activities for the year.
The Charity’s Beneficiaries
Beneficiaries are defined as any person who has served in the Regular, Reserve or as an auxiliary in the Royal Navy (incl RM), Merchant Navy, Army, or Royal Air Force. These are direct beneficiaries of the charity. MCVC also recognise, in keeping with our mission statement, the dependants of beneficiaries; spouses, partners and their children.
Related Parties
The trustees consider that there are no related parties to the charity.
Risk Management
The Trustees are responsible for identifying and managing risk. The trustees show due diligence by examining the major risks that the charity faces and put systems into operation so that steps can be taken to reduce these risks.
Activities, Achievements and Performance during the year
The financial year ending 31[st] December 2025 has been a bit a of a whirlwind of activity, both structurally within the organisation and externally through community engagement, trips and events.
We are now developing partnerships, both locally and regionally, with established military charities and support services. Through our work with the ‘Thrive Together’ initiative, we have linked with charities and veteran support networks in the North East. Our ‘Move to Grid’ project has also opened up more organisations we can collaborate with.
Internally we have been busy restructuring our Executive Committee to include new volunteers with skills that moving forward we will need, to not only widen our appeal to other veterans but also to streamline the back-office support
We have continued with our regular drop ins and invited several guest speakers to share information that is relevant to our veterans’ needs. We have also had several high-profile visitors including the Secretary of State for Defence RT Hon. John Healey MP, and the Mayor of Rotherham, Cllr Rukhsana Ismail. Visits have also been made by the Armed Forces Champions and their Support Officers from all three neighbouring authorities.
A lot of time has been spent on health and wellbeing over the last year with several veterans either experiencing loss of close family members or mental health issues brought on by their own ill health. Several of these situations have involved engaging with statutory services as well as OP Courage and various veterans’ specific mental health support networks.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The team received a call for help from a family member to help locate a missing veteran. Because of the quick reactions and the use of social media ‘veterans’ specific platforms’, the missing veteran was quickly located and is now on the ‘Warrior Programme’ receiving specific mental health support.
During this reporting period we have moved forward into a larger media presence with more engagement with local media platforms, more content on our Facebook and website. This increase has been noticed by several organisations who now feed events through our networks to gain interest.
June saw the celebration of Armed Forces Day throughout the country. The MCVC attended the 4 South Yorkshire events promoting the charity across the regions.
In September we received notification that our charity had been awarded the Reserve Forces & Cadet Association’s (RFCA) Gold Employer Recognition Award, along with the Queens Award for Voluntary Service. We believe we are the only charity/organisation in Yorkshire to hold these two prestigious awards. September also saw the performance by the Band of the Royal Yorkshire Regiment, who gave an outstanding performance in Rotherham Minister to raise funds for the Minster roof and military charities.
A lot of time over the last 12 months has been spent developing two databases. One contains the personal details of our veterans and allows us to track their interaction with us and also gives us relevant contact information. Moving forward this database will become increasingly important around the welfare element of our work, as it will aid us in conveying details about a veteran to support partners and for future referrals. The second database development was ‘Move to Grid’ which is an on-line service, providing information for veterans across South Yorkshire, veterans organisations and support providers.
We have been successful in securing 2 years’ continuation funding from the National Lottery Fund, along with some smaller grants that have allowed us to continue our work.
This year has been about creating memories for some of our community whilst progressing the reputation of the Charity. In May we helped to support the Mayor of Rotherham in celebrating VE day. The team came up with the idea of a commemorative coin to mark the 80[th] anniversary. Their design and presentation, in conjunction with some thoughtful numbering choices, managed to steal the show. We followed this up in August with a trip to the National Arboretum for the VJ celebrations with HRH King Charles III. Gary, our Design and Comms Officer, designed both the VE and VJ commemorative coins.
In October 2025 we delivered our first South Yorkshire wide launch event of our ‘Move to Grid’ App. This has taken a lot of work and despite some smaller organisations’ reservations, it received a warm welcome at its launch. The Launch event was hosted by the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Safiya Saeed, at Sheffield Town Hall and welcomed several keynote speakers including the Deputy Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, Lt Col Mac McPherson, the Secretary of State for Defence Rt Hon John Healey MP, Air Vice Marshall Edwards, Jonny Ball, Afghan Veterans and Colin Davidson, Warrior Programme. The event received great praise from all the attendees.
For Remembrance, the MCVC were in demand, firstly supporting the RBL Poppy Appeal but also working to organise veteran activities at Rotherham United’s Remembrance game. Yet again RMBC requested our advice and support with the Remembrance service in Clifton Park and we have received several requests for support from schools, care homes and churches.
The year ended in our usual MCVC style with our own Christmas lunch and with a celebration of our gold award being collected in York on the team’s behalf by Adie and Chris. We supported Padre Albert’s carol concert, all while still supporting our welfare cases throughout the festive period.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT continued
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
I believe we now have a very supportive, stable and very well-respected team promoting the ethos of “veterans supporting veterans” that is the envy of any organisation in Yorkshire. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by the people in the right positions and hopefully this will prove to be beneficial for the Charity .
Future Plans
The way forward over the next 12 months will be dictated by two major programmes, one we are already in receipt of funds from and one we are due to hear about in the next few weeks. This level of funding requires another step change for the organisation with enhanced staffing and resources to allow for limited expansion of directly delivered services to the Armed Forces community.
Funding from the National lottery over the next two years will allow for the re-distribution of workloads back to the core elements we require within the office management structure. This in turn will then release staff to further support the outreach and welfare elements of our support to veterans across Rotherham with an enhanced service.
The second major programme is the Government’s new Valour initiative; this would be a 3-year support programme to bring equality to the opportunities and support across the UK. The Model that we currently deliver is seen as gold standard by local authorities, partner agencies and has the recognition of the Secretary of State for Defence. Should the Valour contract be awarded to the MCVC it would again increase the demand for services and generate a wider sphere of influence around the delivery of veteran specific services across the county. The approach of MCVC could eventually be used as a national model of excellence.
Over the next few months, the team will be planning for both eventualities and the strategic decisions and direction formed as part of consultation with our service users. Those options will then be presented to the Board of Trustees in the form of a short and medium term business plan to be scrutinised against our strategic direction for compliance.
During the short term, strategic and pro-active relationships will be made with select partners who will support our next steps and who we believe could help to enhance our offer across the region, again making sure no veteran or family member is disadvantaged by their service and supporting our ethos of ‘veterans supporting veterans’.
Policy on Reserves
The current policy is that the trustees will maintain as a reserve of unrestricted funds, one month’s salaries cost and three months general running costs. Based on the levels of expenditure in this financial period, this equates to approximately £20,000.
At the financial year end, the unrestricted reserves stand at £27,797 (2024: £26,576) which is above the target amount. The additional reserves are required as a contingency in the event of a gap in funding for staff costs and to support the further development of MCVC. The Trustees will continue to review the level of reserves required as the charity grows.

Financial Review
In common with other charities of a similar size and nature, MCVC has limited resources and its ongoing operations are currently dependant on funding from grant providers, together with financial support and fundraising from corporate and individual donors.
The financial statements are set out in pages 10 to 15 of this report. During the 12-month reporting period, the charity generated income of £161,844. Total expenditure during the period was £130,413, resulting in a surplus for the year of £31,431. The surplus was due to the balances remaining on restricted funds received during the year. The total funds of the charity at year-end stand at £104,892. The reserves of the charity, represented by unrestricted funds, stand at £27,797 at the year end.
Statement of Trustee Responsibility
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper 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 and the provisions of the governing document.
The trustees 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.
The Trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
I report on the accounts for the year ending 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 10 to 15.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act,
-
or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
