YORK CENTRE FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE IA Company Umltod by Guaranto0} CHAIR'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDEO 31 MARCH 2024 Every financial year starts by setting a budget based on the best Information available al the time. We know how much funding has already been secured from contracts with Clly of York Council, the NHS and others, and we use past experience to predict likely in¢ome from Priory Street Centre Il¢en5ees and our conference centre. On the other Side of the account, we know how much we spend on salarles. ullllty bills and all the rest. I have lo say, the budget for 2023-24 was extremely worrying. Based on what we knew al the tlme. the dthil could hav8 been as much as £300,000. Inevitably, therefore, the trustees spent a lol of Ilme wlth senlor management discusslng ways lo secure additional funding, increase income from the Priory Street Centre and control our ¢osts. We discussed the management accounts and risk register al every board m881ing, asklng problng quesllons whlle supporting our colleagues through what was, for them especially. a really tough year. In the event. the financlal statements show an over811 dallcll of £39,693, representlng an operallng loss of £92,765 offset by a £S3,072 galn on inv8slmenls. This is a Iribule to Allson Semmence {CEOI and every member of her remarkable team. who worked tirelessly lo reduce the deflclt whlle dellveTlng our operational plan for the year. l 8m proud to say we mel the vast majorlty of our largels for the year- agaln. thanks lo a masslve team effort. I wish l Could say that th8 financial challenges are behind us. Th8y're not - thouoh we wlll rfse to meet them, I'm sure. From the work we do wllh CVS members, we know all too well thal the whole sector Is under pressure. Demand is rising. income isn't kaeping pace and reserves are falling. Some mombers lace radlcal de¢l$ions In the year ahead: lo scale back, merge wlth others or in some cases, close altogether. Bul we also know Ihal people In our sector are delermlned lo make a difference. Thelr passion drlves us all forward. I look al the work OUT members do here In York and 13ee the Impact they make. So yes, It's been a hard year- harder In some respects than the worst days of the pandemic. Bul look at what we have been able lo do, even In hard limes. From a personal point of view. the great8sI exampie was York's Poverty Truth Commission. The PTC brought together iwo groups of people.. on the one hand, p80ple who hold InfluenlSal positions In the ¢lty, and on the other, people with profound. personal experienc6 of poverty. As a dvi¢ commissloner, my lob was lo listen. Really listen. And that lakes time. By m88ling regularly over a perlod of many months, we bulll a culture of trust. 11 was a prlvllege to be part of that and to appreciate the vital importance of treating everyone we meet- stranger and frlend allke- wllh kindness and respect. This is my ffith and final report as chair of Yolk CVS. I wlll contlnue as a trustee for a whlle longer, but h feel¥ like the right time to pass the balon. In 2023-24 we were Joined by a new trustee, Lee Probert. who l am delighted lo say is sel lo lake my place as Ghair. After the year end, Shamlm Elmaan was appointed lo the board and a long-standing Iruslee, Matthew Knighl, stood down. My Ihanks go lo every trustee, past and present, for their common sense, quesllons, ideas, hard work and wisdom. Finally, another vote of thanks for Alison Semmence and the entire team of staff and volunteers * York CVS. I'm so glad I had the chance lo work with you.

In p￿parIng the financial statements, the trustees are responwble for a5s888ing the charitable company's abilily lo continue as a going concem. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going ¢onc8rn basis of accounting unless the trust6es either int8nd to liquid8te the charitable ￿rnPany or to cease operations. or have no realistic alternallve but to do so. Audltor's responslbllltlg8 for the audlt of the financlal statsmonts Our objediv8s are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the flnanci81 statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinlon. Reasonable assurance Is a hlgh level of assuranc8. bul is not a guarantee that an audlt conducted In accordanc8 wllh ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstalemenl when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are conslder6d material if, Indlvidually or in th8 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud. 8re instances of non-¢ompllance wlth laws and regulatlon8. We desyn proGedures in line with our responsibilitles, outllned above, to d8tect material misstatements in respect of irregularftles, including fraud. The exient lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: We obtained an understanding of Ihe legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitsblè company operates. focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Th8 laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Ad 2011 togelher wilh th8 Charlties SORP (FRS1021. We assessed thè required compliance with these laws and regulalions as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement il&ms. In addttion, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statem9nts bul compliance wilh whSch might be fundamental to the charitable company's ability to operae or to avoid a material penalty. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were HeaKh and Safety 18gislation, Employment legislation, Charity Commissi)n regulations and General Data Proleclion Regulation IGDPR). Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and olher management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, rfany. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may èxlst within the charitable company for fraud. Page | 21

YORK CENTRE FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE (A Company Llmltfjd by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YORK CENTRE FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE Auditor'g responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Icontlnued) We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, lo be the override of controls by Management, income recognition and fund classification. In response lo the risk of irr8gularilies and non-compliance with laws and regulations and risk of fraud, we designed procedures which included but were nol limited to.. sample testing on the posting of journals, detailed substantive testing on the comp1818ness of income, review of grant documentation, review of Iruslee's minutes and any correspondence with rogulalors. Owing to the inher8nl limilatlons of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial slatements, even though we have properly planned and performèd our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non- compliance and csnnol be expected lo detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. These inherent limitations are particularly significant in th6 case of misstat6m8nt resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed lo avoid detection, including deliberate failur8 to record transactions, collusion, or the provision of intenlional misrepr&sentations. We are not responsible for preventing fraud and cannot be expected lo detecl all fraud.
