STRUfflIRE. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT The Communty Matters Pathership Proleci (CMPP) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisalion created by the constibJtion dated 17th May 2019. It is a Registered Chaty, number 1183467. The Tfustees who served th8 anty during Ihe year were as ft)Ilows: Paul Edwards Chair PJ Farr Dominique Stillman TraY Shrirwon (reswed September 2024) Governance The Community Matters Partnership PYojerf8 Trustees are elected by a majority vote of all the TTUStees. OBJECTIVES, ACTivrriES AND RISK MANAGEAIEpir The Charity's objects are: to relieve poverty. advan health, g(fvan( education, advance o)mmunity development, promots equality and diVerty and further other chariiable pUOSeS whlth are b8nèficial to the wblic by Promoting volunteering., and the practical interest arKJ involvement of companies, kns. voluntary organisations, local authorities and indNiduals in such purp08es partlujlarty in the wmmunities in vthlch they have operational inter88ts. The routine bustrEss of the Charity continues to be carried out by the CEO of the organisation and a team of CMPP staff supported by the Board of Trustees. Trustees of CMPP are duty bound to damonstrate rK)t only competence, challenge. and knowledge of charity affairs. but to make themselves aware of any significant rlsks whith the Charity may face on a regular basis and to ensure that our financial and operational affairs are reviewed regularty. Thè acthities of CMPP continue to be built around corporate volunteering, helping companles to deliver corporate volunteering days n relation to our objectives. In summary. in the past year Ihese activibes fell under one of the following activities.. Corporate volunteering" Meetings for sinesS and o)mrnunty SeadeTr (kn(MTr as 'Communty Minds,). FurKlrai3ing.
Rlsk management Two primary risks have b88n identified for the year ahead. Key Risk 1: A signrficant reductlon In Incorne CMPP relies on two main income streams: Membership fees and fundraising, both of which could come under signifKant pressure giv the dIffiCu economic context in vthith businesses operate. The overall number of fe8-paying CMPP Members has risen (from 33 to 40) over the past two years providing avidence of a successfiJS growlh strategy. However, the incorne has risen only marginalty largety because those companies which have deode not to renew include fiv9 corporates. Since April 2024, these five have been joined by trwo'micro, Members. This has been offset in part as, since January 2025, three r)ew miuos have been reuuited, together with one small business and medium size company whith have taken on trial memrshIp. GrovAh has therefore been through reCruitnt of SMalr businesses. It remains criticalty Important to the viability of the Charty to retain Members and - if p0sbIe- to continue to grow Membership in order to guard against the high likelihood of churn. Whilst a secondary income stream {fiJndralsing and sponsorship) provides a valuable cushlon against Ios8 of Members, is of con8hJerabty less importanc4. Key Rlsk 2: Falluro lo develop rnlevant programmas whlch attract thg Intsrnst and support of Members 3.10 To remain vi8ble (sae Key Risk 1 above). the Charity must remain dynamic, progre8slve and above all reswnsNe to Mernbers. Our strategy 15 to retsin the support of existing Mernbers wfiilst attracting the interest of new partnerg to mitigate the adverse impact of inrne vulnerability. To do so requires the regular revision of our progr8mme8 activrties to ensure that they continu8 to m8&t both the needs of paying Members but also attract favourabl8 pubbcity, enticing mor8 companie8 to loin th8 Partnership. 3.11 Failure to develop our communty projeds risks a gradual decline of CMPP as an Increasingty crowded markelplace expands. and Members or potential Members laka other opportunities to d81iver their CSFUESG prograrnmes. 3.12 Our strategy therefore is to examine closety the effeCtive$S of everyU)ing offer. redu¢ing time invest&J in projects which consider less relevant to our Membership. At the same time, we will invest in more ambit#)us programmes vthich *ryll attract potential new Members, appeal to existing Members, enhance our reputab'on locally and position CMPP favourabty to take advantage of potential funding paths. ACHIEVEMEKf8 AND PERFORMANCE The Chanty has a Board of Tvustees, who are supportlng the developmnt of a range of key policles aNI lop lin8 stratsgs. All Trustees have been n post since the fomiatK)n of the Chaiity providing an important degree of continuty. Corporats volunteering The Charity has continued to develop ts volunteeriThJ actpiities on behalf of Members. By the end of March 2025, CMPP had suesSfullY engag&J over 40 businesses to undertake a wlde rang8 of volunteering projects in the community. Previousty, these activities Vre de&med either Communty Action Days (or CADS) or Annual Volunteering Days (AVDS) but this terminokjgy has been replaced in favour of'corporate volunteering days." a which is phrase is ckarer, more Commonly and better understood. It also helps SEO.
In this accounting period, the Colnmunty Action team ran 45 volunteering days, engaging with over 1200 volunteers from 33 ditferent businesses, promding around 6,000 of 9ifted hours, labour worth in exrEss of £140k (based on average hourty salary in London & SE in 2024). Voluntsers have worked in teams and indimdualy to bring about signtficant improvements in the wmmunity, education and in the environment as well as sharing ProfessKal experb"se. Community Mlnds All events other Ihan Ihose abo and the Twilight Rurrway Chalenge are now designatèd as CMPP Communrty Minds events. This is considered a mor8 'portable', less cumbersorrp way to descTibe what the Charity does. Community Minds in the yèar Induded the annual Celebratlon Event at vhich the Social Impact Report was launthed to an invitgj audience at the Aviator Hotel. This year, it was moved to January from its traditional date before Christmas.. this dec4sion proved popular as we welcom8d nearly 80 guests induding the Mayor of Rushmoor. Other Communlty MiTKls events Indwjed the Movie Quiz nlght. tha Golf Day, the RAISE graduation. an event for Members held in support of Intsmational Women's Day, and 8 symposium of businesses engaging wlth post-16 education. Work in the education sector has been irnportant during the year in line with the wishes of Members keen to contributs to the development of young peop in the area. Followng an earller Community Mind$ (June 2023) in 2024 CMPP developed and imemented 'RAISE': an innovatlve. attractive programme of Member workplace visits for year 9 chiklren aimed at infomiing, inspiring and raising aspirations. A second, larger cohort of students from Tombnscote School, each carefully sel8cted following an applicalion prOsS manapd by the School, Join the programme in 2025. The School has provided a highly eno)ur8ging feedback of this innovative approach to a Community partnership be1en the worbJ$ of busine88 and edu¢atsn. deglgned and delivered by CMPP. Companies involved are also errthuslaslk about the RAISE programme su998Stlng that the initiative. which has drawn posikn've publirity, provKles valuable 'soff volunteering opportunlties plus prokssionallpersonal development for employe86. Fundralslng 4.10 Our primary furKlraising event remains the annual Twlight Runway ChaInge ITRC). In 2024. V hosted our fourteenth suth event at Blackbushe Mrport. This event has fvnctions: income for CMPP but also acting as a fundraising platform for local schools and charities. CMPP engages businesses to sponsor ts event to keep $ts low; charitss can use Twi1ht to bring their supporters together to raise funds lor their cause. 4.11 Once again, in 2024 TRC attracbj Signifint numbers of participants.. nearly 1,000 people, representing many companies. helped raise tens of Ihousands of pourwjs for dozens of charity partners. SSnce its inception In 2010. ft L8 estimated Ihat TRC has helwl raise ovtsr £500,000 in total for a myriad of good causes. 4.12 This year. we produced an attractive social impact report specifically related to the TRC. The TRC SIR has proved to be a useful marketing and sales brothure, detailing as it does the opportuniti8s for essential sponsorship of the evenL 4.13 Social media represenlation of CMPPS activitss has been stepFed up signfficanty since 2024, V*ith a planned schedule of regular posts appearing across a numter of platforms. Vthilst all CMPP staff make use of Socbal media. we retain the professional services of an extemal agency to promots our activitias.
4.14 CMPP continues to adapt: all stsff a geared up to work from home, wtth technology and Tesources in plat to support this. Stsff are encouraged to continue to Vrk flexibty, from home and to use the C(WOrng fauh'ties at The Village Hotel, Famborough provided at no cosL The facilities are convenienty located very near the FamtM)rough business park 4.15 As is noted in the fdlowlng paragraph. Twstees have revised CMPPS accountSng policy. In 80 doing, the Board has asked for a timely revie of all key polic$.. accordingly a rolling programme of key policy review and revision will ¢onlinue under the direGtion of the CEO. FINANCIAL REVIEW Ther8 have been signifit difficulties arriving at an arate picture of th8 Chariws financial perfonan in the current year. In consequence, Trustees have revlsed the Charivs accounting policy from a cash to an accNal bass vthith wll, it is considered. be more accurats going forward. In this first year of change from cash to a¢¢ruals, therefore. a year-on-year comparison is drfficult. Under the caslFbased a¢untIng aprmach. we have been advi8ed by our accountants that there have been $8veral In$tsnS where some ino)me and exrenditure has been rnis-post. For example, sponsorship income for the TwNight (held in September 2024) was received befor8 April 2024, and this income vKongly posted in the 2023-24 accounts. it related to income in th8 followng year. Similar errors have also been Feated 2024-25. This distortion of the a¢nts has been compounded because not all Membership fees are paid at the same time in-year. Invol go out through the year depending on when Membership began.. also. some Members pay their annual fees in instslrnents. One imFSication of thls Is that vthilst W8 know what the lotal fees payab by Members are auoss a 12-month period, CMP income can appear worse than it truly is when looked at in April. This spity. uneven profi of inrne ha8 contributed to what appears as a sgnffi¢ant deffiiiL What is dear. however, Is that the inLx)me stream of Membership fees and fiJndrai5ing is reducing despite the increase In the numbèr of Members. This is largely because Membership has grown through the re¢rutlment of smaller businesses and the departure from the Partnership of larger corporate Members (see 3.8 above). Operating costs have risen in the same pedod from £107.738 to £118,734. This trend, the Board wholly rècognise. is not sustainabbg. Whi15t CMPPS, overall operating costs have teen adively managed, salaries have risen by 5%. This refiects the Boarrl's decision in 2024 to a) provide an infiation linked pay rise to staff (6%) b) pay stsff for holiday entItknnt blfiich, historically. had not been the case. SinGe the last pay rise in April 2023, it was estirnated that the Consumer Price Index rose by 4.2% in 2024. It was akn noted that national minimum wage was £11.44 per hour at this time.. the 24-25 rise meant that the CMPP hourly rate Vu1 vary behleen approximately £13.85 and £16.50 per hour. In addition, the 8oard avravd&J staff a orff unconsolKlated t*)nus in recoltiOn of a strong perk)rmance year. wth rer numbers at TviilighL an expanded volunteering programffE and a grovhh in Membership. Staff had demonstrated Mm[Iment. flexibilty and willingness to do whatever was necessary, including working unsoaal hours, EekendS and holKlays. whilst transferring to different vray ofworkin9 wthout a regular office base. Furthermore, typically staff often use their own resources (¢aTs. phones) arKI rarely claim legiknmate expenses 1nrrBd. Overall, expenses have risen. This 15 a Consequen of the revised chart of accounts codes introduced this year.. this figure is made up of staff expenses. Fknone costs, equipment purchas8S. motor exrenses and storage. During the year. it is important to note that CMPP has neither applied for nor receNed any form of government or grant funding to support its communty projects. All fvnding has resulted from social enterprise, generating income through membership packages and a programme of fundraising
events. The difficulties of generating this income are nobJ as Key Risks in paragraphs 3.6 to 3.12 above. 5.10 Decisive steps have been taken to r&Yuce the risk of future mis-posting through the appointment of a prOfeOnal bookkeeper vthith V•ryll greaty assist the unpi¢king of past 8rror8. ensuring that management accounts are reliable going forward. Additionalty, change to accounting policy plus the revised chart of accounts (Tevised in 2024-25>, will make accurate identification of correctly coded inGomelexpenditure and most importantly ckne monitoring, far more effedive in the year ahead. 5.11 Currerrtly. CMPP has sufficient reserves to ensure Iher8 18 no immediate tangible risk to its ability to operate as a going concern and lh8 longer-term foreGast is positive. Given the nature of the organisalion, CMPP has few tangible fixed assets ¢)ther than the volunteer support van. 5.12 The Board remain optimists¢ that the actions oullined hwe wll address the deflclt trend of the past Iwo years. FUTURE PLANS Tha focus of our planning for the futUTe has been on Ihree key aspects: Membership growth., Continuing to remew. and there possible expand the conwnunlty projects., Operation of a succ£ssful Twilight Runvray Challenge. Our abilty to develop and evolve is as always limrted by the Iwin barriers of time and money. Followng the appointrnent of a part-time, rntime onty person to assigt the Corporate Volunteer Manager, there is now some capacity for stsff to respond to new initlVeS but significantly increasing capacty will onty be an option with a dependable incoffle flow. though this is unlikely ever, given the nature of our bunesS, to be 'assur&J'. This seeming impasse is not new to CMPP, indeed has been an ever present since it became a registered ¢harty. In general tsmis, business aplte for CMPP'S core service - cost effedive, high-quallty corpotate volunteering - is still in demarKI; the value of corporate volunteering to business and the welkbeing of staff has been well estsblished. Wle continue to 'market' the Charity's presence via social media, seèknng to create more dynamic o)nlent to publicise activittes and opportunities even more effedvely. The corporate vdunteering days suth a5 the Beath Clean and Festlve Frimhurs( are our core aclvty. They wll contlnue to run ryth no plans to alter how these days operate because they are popular with Members and V11 reNed by the beneficiaries. We have added more larger scale to the programme eg Brookwood Cerretery, making nine throuohout the year. It is envisaged that this programme of large scale volunteering days will continue to grow. The calendar for 2025 was revi8Vj to help relieve Prossu on staff by smoothing out events and activllles across the y8ar. CMPP has received a numter of requests for one-off volunteering opp)rtunities from companie5 vtho do not wish to become full Members of the partnership. Some of these companies are in the NE Hants, SW Surrey, Berkshire area but others are from across the UK. We are considering how best to respK1 posttbvely to such enquirBs which offer a valuaLle source of additional Inco. A decision on whether the lSE programff should be repeated (RAISE 3) in 2026, with the option of expansion and the possibilty of 5pon5orship once final outcomes are known, wll be made in the autumn. Under devekjpment is a novel approach to the development of stsff working in an education setting. Tentativety called 'RAISE Higher. the programme woukl aim to provpje real, revant commercaal experience for teacherslmanagerslsupport staff worng at all levels in post-16 education, by linking wtth business rrentors.
Overall, future CMPP strategy will contyiue to be budt on a 'three pllaf model of a1vity. Corporate volunteering days. Community Minds.. Community FufKlrdising.
