VAN MILDERT COLLEGE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM TRUSTEES REPORT 24 AUGUST 2020 – 31 JULY 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Summary of the purposes of the charity
As set out in its governing document, the object of Van Mildert College Junior Common Room (henceforth ‘JCR’) is the advancement of education of students at Van Mildert College for the public benefit by:
-
promoting the interests and welfare of Students at Van Mildert College during the course of their studies and representing, supporting and advising students;
-
being the recognised representative channel between Students and Van Mildert College and any other external bodies;
-
providing social, sporting, cultural and recreational activities and forums for discussions and debate for the personal development of its students.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts
The JCR became a charitable incorporated organisation on 24[th] August 2020, making this the first reporting period. This has been a transitional period which does not represent the normal expected levels of activity, as the predecessor body of the charity, a part of Durham University, is still in existence. The process for transferring to the charity has been prolonged due to the time taken during the covid-19 pandemic to negotiate and finalise the documentation governing the relationship between the charity and Durham University going forward.
The main activities undertaken in this reporting period were therefore around setting up the charity to ensure that the JCR is in a position going forward to:
-
facilitate and manage Van Mildert College students’ involvement in sport, societies, committees, and outreach;
-
put on a wide range of events for its students;
-
represent the interests of students to the College and wider University;
-
support the interests and welfare of its students.
In addition to the trustees, a number of students volunteered their time to this, providing a significant opportunity for personal development, which will only increase in the next reporting period as students take on roles to lead various areas of their JCR.
Moreover, two of the charity’s trustees were sabbatical officers of the predecessor body of the charity and employees of Durham University- The JCR President and JCR Financial and Commercial Services Officer (FACSO)- and spent a sixth of their contracted hours on the governance of the charity, and the representation of students.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit
1
The trustees of the JCR have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The JCR has been run for the public benefit and satisfies both the ‘benefit’ and ‘public’ aspects; our objects are beneficial, and for a sufficient section of the public. There has been no personal benefit gained from the JCR, with the exception of the employment of two trustees by Durham University as outlined above. This is incidental to carrying out the JCR’s purpose and is in the governing document for the future when they will be employed by the JCR following completion of the transition.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole
As already mentioned, this is the first reporting period for the JCR, and was one of transition due to its predecessor body remaining in existence.
However, the JCR achieved a great deal despite the circumstances. It kept the interests of its beneficiaries, the students, at the forefront of negotiations in transitioning to the charity. Students were represented throughout the covid-19 pandemic to Van Mildert College and the wider University on a range of issues. The JCR strived to support students; most notably, through the setting up of ‘Talk and Support’, a non-judgemental, listening and signposting service.
Solid foundations have been put in place to ensure opportunities for the personal development of students, with events, initiatives and other activities ready to commence as soon as the transition is complete. Some of these initiatives will also benefit a wider section of the public than our students, most notably our six Outreach projects. For example, the ‘Community Visiting Scheme (CVS)’ is set up to link students with older people in the Durham area to help combat loneliness through home visits and phone calls, and the ‘Young Person’s Project (YPP)’ has been established to facilitate a series of student-led sessions in local secondary schools which culminates in a residential at Van Mildert College, with the aim of raising their aspirations and confidence.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period
At the end of the reporting period, the JCR had £49,428 in the bank. Although the JCR’s predecessor body has made small donations in this reporting period, we anticipate the transferral of assets in the next reporting period, so there is no doubt that the JCR will be in a strong financial position going forward.
The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)
The JCR’s main source of income is from membership levies which are payable by every student on their arrival at Van Mildert College if they wish to opt-in to Van Mildert College Junior Common Room Students’ Union. The fee is currently £155 for the entirety of a student’s degree. No fundraising for the charity took place in this reporting period due to the transitional nature of the year.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern
The JCR has sufficient funds to continue its core activities and the trustees see no reason to anticipate a significant loss of income in the next financial year, particularly as we come out the other side of the covid-19 pandemic.

Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held, amount of reserves held or reasons for holding zero reserves
The JCR does not currently hold any reserves as it only registered on 24[th] August 2020.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Type of governing document and how the charity is constituted
The JCR is a charitable incorporated organisation, registered on 24[th] August 2020 and governed by the Van Mildert College JCR Constitution.
Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions
As stated in its constitution, the JCR should have not less than two nor more than six appointed trustees; not less than two nor more than four nominated trustees; and the two ex-officio trustees, the sabbatical officers. There must be at least four trustees, of which two must be appointed and of which two must be either ex-officio or nominated. The ex-officio trustees are the JCR President and the JCR FACSO, and the nominated trustees refer to those nominated by the Van Mildert College Junior Common Room Students’ Union. The appointed trustees are appointed for a term of years, and the nominated trustees are nominated on an annual basis.
Six trustees were appointed prior to registering as a charity by members of the JCR’s predecessor body in February 2020 and remained in post until the end of the reporting period. The same individuals have served as JCR President and JCR FACSO since the registration of the charity, and so also remained trustees until the end of the reporting period. Two nominated trustees served from 1[st] February 2021 to the end of the reporting period following elections by single transferable voting.
Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees
When new trustees are appointed or elected, they are sent a copy of the charity’s governing document, a copy of the latest trustees’ annual report and a statement of accounts, and their attention is drawn to Charity Commission guidance online.
The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works
The day-to-day management of the JCR lies with the Van Mildert College Junior Common Room Students Union’s Executive Committee, which is made up of elected students. This Executive Committee meets at least twice a term, and various other committees sit under them such as Treasury, Ball, Outreach, Governance, Shop, and so on. Under the charity’s constitution lies the permanent and operational standing orders of the Van Mildert College Junior Common Room Students Union, and a list of committees, job descriptions and ratified clubs and societies. These dictate the operations of the JCR, and any changes to these must be voted on by the charity’s trustees, the Executive Committee, the Governance Committee, and then the Van Mildert College Junior Common Room Students’ Union at large.
Relationship with any related parties
Our beneficiaries are the students of Van Mildert College, Durham University; so, our object insists that we have a close relationship with Durham University. There exists a Service Level Agreement between the two parties which allows for the JCR to operate within property owned by the University, for health and safety requirements to be met, data to be shared, and so on.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. |

| 2.4 ASSETS Intangible fixed assets Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Investment gains and losses The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. They are valued at cost. Volunteer help These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments |

| Heritage assets POLICIES ADOPTED ADDITIONAL TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ABOVE Current asset investments Debtors Stocks and work in progress Investments |
The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. They are valued at cost. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture.

20.2 Deferred income
Please complete this note if the charity has deferred income.
Please explain the reasons why income is deferred.
This year Membership levies cover the duration of members' undergraduate degrees, typically 3 or 4 years. Recognition of income from these levies has, therefore, been split across these years on a straight-line basis. This was done proportionally according to expected length of degree.

Note 29 Additional Disclosures
The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts. If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.
The reporting period is less than 12 months due to the charity incorporating on the 24th August 2020 and the trustees choosing to end the charity's financial year on the 31st July. As this is the charity's first reporting period, there are no comparative values to present from a previous period.
The charity had no restricted funds, no designated funds and no endowments at any time during the reporting period. Consequently, there were no transfers between funds during the reporting period.
The charity did not pay any auditor or independent examiner, tax advisor or any other financial service provider during the reporting period.
