SYSTON AND DISTRICT VOLUNTEER CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 TRUSTEES' REPORT

The Trustees present their annual report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is governed by its constitution which was adopted on 22 May 1980 and amended on 6 November 2000.

The Trustees are appointed or re-appointed at the Annual General Meeting and meet monthly for business.

New Trustees are advised of their obligations under charity law, the content of the Declaration of Trust as well as the structure and decision making process of the Committee.

The trustees of the charity delegate the day to day running of the organisation to the charity's staff.

Governance and support costs are shown in the notes to the accounts.

The types of funds are disclosed on the face of the balance sheet.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to those risks.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the charity are to develop and provide a programme of voluntary services relevant to the interests and needs of its membership and the local community.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Achievements and Performance

The level of performance against objectives reflects the commitment of volunteers who give their time and energy freely. The leadership and management of this activity is the primary responsibility of the trustees and paid staff.

SYSTON AND DISTRICT VOLUNTEER CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 TRUSTEES' REPORT CONTINUED

impact of Covid-19

No one could have predicted that the financial year would begin and end still being gripped by the Covid19 pandemic.

We are extremely proud of all our Staff and Volunteers who stepped up to this incredible challenge and adapted our services and support to quickly to support the most vulnerable in our Community. Due to Government guidelines a number of our volunteers had to ‘shield’. However we quickly forged a relationship with VASL to recruit Covid-19 Volunteers and address the very basic needs such as shopping, medication collection and providing a listening ear to those who were lonely, isolated and anxious. Food parcels were provided by local supermarkets which were delivered to needy members.

With the introduction of the Vaccine programme we worked closely with Syston Health Centre providing transport for their patients to ensure they were available to attend their vaccinations at the various Centres.

Despite all the challenges presented we have successfully continued to provide services to our members and the wider community.

The pandemic has impacted on the Centre and difficult decisions had to be made. All our bus trips had to be suspended and as a result we were forced to make staff redundant. Our sincere thanks go to Hayley Carter, Andy Barnett and Georgina Kirk for their service to the Centre. We are pleased to say Andy Barnett offered his services as a valued volunteer driver. The office remained closed for a short period. During the closure our centre manager worked from home ensuring volunteer drivers were available to provide transport as and when needed and co-ordinate the collecting and delivering of shopping and prescriptions. The centre took advantage of the Job Retention Scheme to furlough both Michael and Andy Hathaway for most of the year.

During the office closure we were able to complete the refurbishment of the office using the grant from the Wolfsen Foundation thereby providing our staff with a better working environment and improved experience for visitors to the office. The Trustees extend their thanks to Trevor Carter who acted as project manager during the refurbishment and for his long service as a Trustee.

Once again the Trustees sincerely thank our volunteer drivers. Without them we would not be able to continue to provide the valuable services to members in Syston and the surrounding communities. The Trustees would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Alan Batson, Ann Ward, John Beare and Paul Edwards for their years of service as volunteers to the Centre and the Community.

The Trustees want to congratulate all our staff and volunteers for adapting to our changed world and making life that little better for those who needed our help.

SYSTON AND DISTRICT VOLUNTEER CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 TRUSTEES' REPORT CONTINUED

We continue to receive financial support from Leicestershire County Council and Charnwood Borough Council and have also have once again been fortunate to receive a number of donations. These include monies donated by our members and from families of deceased members. The Board of Trustees would like to record our thanks for their generosity. Donations have also been received from:

Other elements of funding have been:

The Board are responsible for ensuring that all the activities of the Centre are carried out in a professional manner in line with Health & Safety and Charity Commission guidelines. Each of our Trustees playa vital role now and even more so when the future is a total unknown.

Financial review

The state of the Charity’s finances is shown in the attached Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and notes to the accounts.

The total incoming resources for the year were £166,067 (2020 - £168,286), and after deducting resources expended of £146,686 (2020 - £185,223), the net surplus was £19,381 (2020 deficit £16,937).

The net funds of the Charity at 31 March 2021 amounted to £253,937 (2020 - £234,556) of which £115,864 (2020 - £94,989) was restricted.

The Centre continues to operate in a period of financial uncertainty in relation to core funding from statutory bodies. In view of this the Trustees considered in prudent to retain a designated financial reserve of £56,700 to cover contingencies.

SYSTON AND DISTRICT VOLUNTEER CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 TRUSTEES' REPORT CONTINUED

Reserves policy

The Charity's reserves policy is to maintain a level of reserves to ensure that in the event of a reduction in its key funding, the Charity could continue to deliver its services for a period of time whilst considering its position and exploring other funding opportunities. The trustees feel that the Charity's current level of general and designated reserves is satisfactory in that respect.

Future plans

It has been a time to reflect a year of uncertainty and a fear of the unknown which none of us has experienced but we will adapt for the future.

The Trustees intend to continue to provide a programme of voluntary services relevant to the interests and needs of its membership and the local community as long as the Charity’s funds allow.

Together with the refurbishment of the office space the Trustees are constantly considering other ways in which we can expand and to improve the facilities we can offer.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities:Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and the UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair view' and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only the the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2015 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the financial currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 twelve months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

1.3 Funds Structure

Certain income is given for specific purposes. These funds are shown as restricted funds. As the money is spent, likewise the cost will also be shown under restricted funds. Other funds given to further the charitable objects generally are classed as unrestricted funds. These may also include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees' Annual Report.

Interest income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.

1.5 Grant Income

Grant income is recognished in the year it is received.

1.6 Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category.
