Achievements & Performance

Summary of Achievements

In furtherance of the Charitable Objects, Wirral CVS operates using NAVCA’s (National Association for Voluntary & Community Action) Four Functions of Local Infrastructure – Capacity Building, Volunteering, Leadership & Advocacy, Partnerships & Collaboration. In addition, as a relatively new organisation, we are also reporting on our own organisational development.

Capacity Building

We have continued to develop our reach across the sector and the opportunities for support and development for both individuals and organisations. We are now communicating regularly with more than 300 organisations in Wirral – roughly 15% of all organisations according to the Cheshire & Merseyside State of the Sector Report.

The team have delivered 39 events attended by 332 individuals including Meet the Funder Events, Skills Development and include specific sessions targeted to the Faith Sector and Trustees.

131 individual organisations have received one to one support on a range of issues including Setting Up and Incorporation, Governance, Policy Development, Funding Advice and more.

Given current financial and economic challenges facing the sector supporting organisations to apply for funding has remained a high priority. In the financial year, the Capacity Building team supported 33 funding applications from 25 organisations valued at £314,696 with £238,998 secured – a success rate of 76%.

Trustee Annual Report and Accounts for Financial Year Ending 31[st] March 2025

Funding secured for distribution to the sector in the form of grants was valued at £420,000 through 3 grant programmes – Wirral Green Grants, Step Up Fund and the Neighbourhoods Programme.

The Support Grant element of the Step Up Fund highlighted a number of very positive outcomes including:

One of the funded organisations said

“We are now in a stronger position to apply for larger funding and can operate more effectively as a team.”

another said

“The system we now have in place [as a result of funding] will save time and reduce errors – it’s a big step forward.”

Volunteering

While staff recruitment remained a challenge, having been unable to find and recruit suitable team members, we have continued to promote the Wirral and Liverpool City Region volunteering portal. The number of active volunteers registered on the Portal has increased from 423 when we took over the platform in 2023 to 615 at the end of the financial year a 45% increase. In addition, the Wirral Green Grants programme promoted the development of volunteering and an additional 287 volunteers who were not registered on the portal were engaged in the programme. This would equate to a 113% increase if they had registered - a challenge for us going forward.

Development of the Wirral Volunteering Passport has continued and we are hopeful of launching in the second quarter of the coming financial year which will support individual volunteers to be able to offer their support to a range of organisations with less administrative burden for both the individual and the organisations they are working with.

The Volunteer Manager’s Forum has continued to be a resource to both support Volunteer Managers, including those carrying out the role within organisations, as well as supporting more strategic development across the sector. A training needs assessment has been carried out to identify common training needs to support a learning programme.

Wirral CVS

We have begun, with Public Sector partners in Job Centre Plus, Cheshire Wirral Partnership NHS Trust and Wirral Council, to increase the offer for customers, patients and staff. Funding has been secured to continue and expand this work in the new financial year.

Leadership & Advocacy

The Representation Model is a distinct feature of Wirral CVS and sets the tone for the way we work, keeping the wider sector at the heart of delivery. Over the last 12 months there have been a number of changes to the programme in both personnel and context. Cheshire and Merseyside ICB (Wirral Place) are experiencing significant challenges and restructuring has meant that there are fewer opportunities for representation, however for the past year we have had a VCFSE leader, Carol Johnson-Eyre of Citizens Advice Wirral, chairing the Place Based Partnership Board with the intention, from the Place Director, Simon Banks that the chair will remain an elected VCFSE representative in the future.

In addition to ICB, Wirral Borough Council and Voluntary Sector North West have provided opportunities for Sector Representation and we are seeking support to be able to coordinate the information flow. The website now houses a repository of information from the opportunity identification, selection to the reporting and feedback process.

The Sector Leaders Group reviewed their terms of reference and established contact with local MP’s to create an open forum for discussion about issues facing organisations and the people they serve. The intention from MP’s is that we are able to hold these meetings regularly though so far, and for multiple reasons, this has proven challenging.

Across the local system we have been advocating for increased engagement and involvement of the sector through Regeneration, Workforce and Estates & Sustainability Programmes.

On a City Region footprint, Wirral CVS have taken a leadership role on Merseyside Resilience Forum on behalf of the 6 Local Infrastructure Organisations in Halton, St Helens, Sefton, Knowsley and Liverpool.

Our advocacy work has led directly to grant funding such as the Step Up Fund - £200,000 additional funding to support organisational development across the sector in this year and a further £250,000 for the coming year.

Nationally, we have worked with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and IPSOS on developing a Draft Theory of Change for Local Civil Society Infrastructure which is in the final stages of development and will hopefully be published early in the new financial year and should support Infrastructure Organisations to demonstrate impact and make the argument for core funding.

Partnerships & Collaboration

We have continued to support the development of COP (Community of Practice), ably led by Chris Shaw and Amy Butterworth which has an average monthly attendance of 51 groups from across Wirral and the CVF Forum in partnership with colleagues from Public Health which has an average attendance of 37.

The Social Action project funded by the Cheshire and Mersey Cancer Alliance and delivered by One Wirral CIC continues though the Wirral programme is currently paused while recruitment of a new Social Action Lead takes place. A video has been produced for use across multiple audiences.

The Neighbourhoods programme is also currently paused while a review of the programme is carried out Wirral CVS continues to be involved with both the review and ensuring that neighbourhoods are appropriately engaged. The ICB are currently awaiting new guidance as changes to the health system are implemented.

The VS6 Partnership brings together Infrastructure organisations across the Liverpool City Region. Over the period of this report we have been active in delivering a Liverpool City region Mayoral Hustings attended by more than 80 sector representatives and led to all candidates signing an updated VCFSE Manifesto pledge. We also campaigned on the Impact of Employers National Insurance contributions increase on Sector organisations. In Wirral, we know that there was some success in commissioners uplifting the value of contracts and grants to reflect this unbudgeted and unexpected increase.

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority have been working with the Ministry for Housing Communities and Local Government on developing a business case for the development of an Office for Public Service Innovation (OPSI) and we have supported this development through a number of projects and promoting the engagement of VCFSE organisations.

Organisation Development

Our final, yet foundational, objective is to ensure that we build Wirral CVS for the future. We are yet to reach a Business as Usual phase in the organisations development and we have been constantly reminded that everything we undertake, we are starting from scratch with only the board’s, staff and stakeholders experience and knowledge to guide us.

Throughout the year we have faced challenges of building systems and processes from scratch and we have had challenges in recruitment but we have developed our website,

6

Wirral CVS

created, and delivered, a number of grant programmes, our financial systems have developed and we have begun the process of reviewing and developing our governance in preparation for recruiting new Trustees as we move into the next phase of our development.

Conclusions

The first full year of operation has created a number of surprising outcomes we can be proud of and laid the foundation for future development. Over half of the income we have generated has or will be redistributed directly to the organisations we serve. £420k in Grants, £60k in contracted/commissioned work and almost £100k in direct support. The representation model is broader in scope but hasn’t increased in number.

Funding for all of our core programmes is secure for at least another twelve months and we have been able to generate a small surplus which will allow us to begin to build unrestricted reserves. We have already secured the same amount of grants for the coming year.

Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 March 2025 .

In the financial year, income increased significantly. Core funding from Wirral Borough Council and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund provided sufficient funding to employ a Chief Executive and Development Manager as well as planning for the recruitment of other key team members.

In addition, the organisation managed funding for Representation, Mental Health Alliance and Wirral’s Neighbourhood Programmes from Cheshire & Merseyside ICB, Wirral Place. 23% of the income generated will be redistributed as Grants to the sector in the coming year.

In this financial year, we have spent 23% of income and generated 18% unrestricted revenue, that will be reserved or designated, the remainder is restricted income to be spent in the next financial year.

Policies on reserves.

The purpose of the reserves policy (POL018) is to explain to existing and potential funders, donors, beneficiaries and other stakeholders why Wirral CVS is holding a particular amount of reserves and to give confidence to stakeholders that Wirral CVS’s finances are being properly managed, and provides an indicator of future funding needs and overall resilience.

Over the past two years, the targets set regarding the levels of reserves have changed reflecting the development of the organisation. We have reached our 5 year target

Wirral CVS

already with three months of operating costs and fixed liabilities (contracts, redundancy costs etc). The trustees have agreed to designate £80,000 as a Reserve Fund.

There are no concerns about the charity continuing as a going concern and the Trustees are satisfied that the charity’s assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil it’s obligations in respect of each fund.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).

In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :

9

Trustee Annual Report and Accounts for Financial Year Ending 31[st] March 2025

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. 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.

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

This report was approved by the board of trustees on 2 December 2025.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the Charity on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 13 to 30 for the year ended 31 March 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 18.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on page 9, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000, the charity's examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am an authorised member of CIPFA, which is one of the listed bodies.

11

Trustee Annual Report and Accounts for Financial Year Ending 31[st] March 2025

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner’s Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-

The gross income of the charity in the year ended 31 March 2025 appears to exceed the sum specified in Section 145(3) of the Act, namely £250000, and that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner in accordance with that section by virtue of my being a qualified member of CIPFA;

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;

12

Wirral CVS

and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Trustee Annual Report and Accounts for Financial Year Ending 31[st] March 2025

Notes to the Accounts

For the year ended 31[st] March 2025

1. Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Going Concern

There are no uncertainties about going concern.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Computer and office equipment 25 % straight line

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments including cash and bank balances

Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

There are no designated funds.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or as implied by law. There are no endowment funds.

2.Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

3. Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4. Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

There are no significant implications of such matters.

Election and Role of Trustees

The charity has adopted an “Association Model”, whereby the charity’s trustees are elected by the voting members of the organisation. The Trustee Board embarked upon a structured process during the year to recruit a number of new Trustees to be recommended to the membership for appointment to the board.

Trustees are elected to serve for a three-year period at the Annual General Meeting, one third of the number retiring and being eligible for re-election each year.

Wirral CVS

New Trustees are supported through an induction process, which includes a presentation, planned visits to each department of the organisation, plus written material giving additional background information and outlining their responsibilities as a Trustee.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance and direction of the charity, with day-to-day operational management delegated to the Chief Executive.

The Trustees meet a minimum of six times a year; this includes a Forward Planning Day to review the organisation’s strategy and performance and to set operating plans and budgets, plus a Half-year Review Day to monitor progress of these plans.

The Board receives reports at each meeting from the Chief Executive, along with a schedule of reports from all areas of the organisation.

No director / Trustee has any beneficial interest in the Company. The subscribing members of the Company undertook to contribute £1 each in the event of its winding up.

Internal Control

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate systems of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also 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 Companies Act 2006. 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 and to provide reasonable assurance that:

The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:

Risk Assessment

The Trustees have a formal risk management process to assess business risks and implement risk management strategies. This involves identifying the types of risks the charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, and identifying means of mitigating the risks. As part of this process, the trustees review the adequacy of the charity’s current internal controls.

Charity Good Governance Code

The Trustees have adopted the code and undertaken a Self Assessment, the coming year will see us implement the findings of this review and report back in the 25/26 Report.

Key Management Remuneration

The Board consider the affordability of a cost-of-living increase for all employees when budgets are set annually. This would include Senior Leaders.

Senior Leaders, including the CEO, are on fixed levels of pay, with no additional increments available currently. The Board are committed to continue to review salary structures year on year.
