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 diVer￿ty and further other chariiable pU￿OSeS 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 mem￿rshIp.
GrovAh has therefore been through reCruit￿nt of SMal￿r businesses. It remains criticalty
Important to the viability of the Charty to retain Members and - if p0s￿bIe- 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 in￿rne 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 stratsg￿s. 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 su￿esSfullY engag&J over 40 businesses to undertake a wlde rang8
of volunteering projects in the community. Previousty, these activities V￿re 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 ProfessK￿al 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 im￿emented '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 prO￿sS 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
be1￿￿en 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 ChaI￿nge 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 Twi1￿ht to bring their
supporters together to raise funds lor their cause.
4.11
Once again, in 2024 TRC attracbj Signifi￿nt 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 V￿rk flexibty, from home and
to use the C(￿WOr￿ng 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 signifi￿t difficulties arriving at an a￿rate picture of th8 Chariws financial
perfon￿an￿ 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 $8veral In$tsn￿S 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 in￿rne 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 entItkn￿nt 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 V￿u￿1 vary behleen approximately £13.85 and £16.50 per hour.
In addition, the 8oard avravd&J staff a or￿ff unconsolKlated t*)nus in reco￿ltiOn of a strong
perk)rmance year. wth re￿r￿ 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 1n￿rrBd.
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 prOfe￿Onal 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, ￿rn￿time onty person to assigt the Corporate Volunteer
Manager, there is now some capacity for stsff to respond to new init￿lVeS but significantly increasing
capacty will onty be an option with a dependable incoffle flow. though this is unlikely ever, given the
nature of our bu￿nesS, 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 ap￿lte 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 V￿11 re￿Ned 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
revi8V￿j 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 resp￿K1 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,
re￿vant commercaal experience for teacherslmanagerslsupport staff wor￿ng 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 a￿1vity.

In the current year, the tharity has changed its basis of accounting from the receipts and
payments (cash) basis to the accruals bas5 of aGcounllng, In Ilne vith the Charities SORP (FRS

statèments, and ensures compliance wrth statutory reporting requirements for charities above the
receipts and payments threshold.
