EALING AND HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY VOLUNTARY SERVICE
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GAURANTEE)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Chairperson's Report
Introduction
It is my pleasure to present the Chairperson's Report for the year 2024/2025. This has been a year of both
challenge and growth for Ealing and Hounslow CVS. In an environment shaped by financial pressures, social
inequalities, and the rising needs of our communities, EHCVS has continued to lead with purpose,
professionalism, and deep-rooted community trust.
As Chair of the Board of Trustees, I am proud of the role we play in ensuring that local voices are heard,
organisations are supported, and public services are shaped with—and not just for—our communities.
Strengthening the Sector in Difficult Times
Across Ealing and Hounslow, voluntary and community organisations remain at the frontline of addressing
social needs. Yet many face increasing challenges-from tighter budgets to workforce shortages. EHCVS
has responded with determination and innovation.
This year, we supported over 200 local groups, helped over 3,000 residents engage in volunteering, and le
artnerships that delivered impact in health equity, digital inclusion, refugee support, and early years. Ou
infrastructure support and Voice Networks have been pivotal in ensuring local organisations not only survive,
but also influence, adapt, and thrive.
EHCVS has proven itself to be an essential partner, bridging grassroots expertise with statutory systems,
unlocking funding, and championing inclusive policymaking.
Board Priorities and Oversight
As a Board, our focus has been to:
• Strengthen organisational resilience and governance
• Champion inclusion, equity, and community leadership
• Guide the organisation's long-term strategy amid a volatile funding landscape
• Support the Chief Executive and the leadership team in expanding our reach and deepening our impact
We have also closely monitored how sector-wide trends-including rising demand, cost-of-living pressures,
and digital inequality-affect the organisations and residents we serve.
Celebrating Quality and Progress
Among this year's achievements, we are especially proud to celebrate two significant quality marks that
demonstrate our commitment to excellence in volunteering.
First, the Ealing and Hounslow Volunteer Centre successfully achieved Investors in Volunteers (liV)
accreditation, a national standard that recognises organisations delivering best practice in volunteer
management. This award confirms that our processes, culture, and support systems place volunteers at the
heart of our work, ensuring a consistently positive and meaningful volunteer experience.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Alongside this, the Volunteer Centre also achieved the Volunteer Centre Quality Accreditation (VCQA). This
three-year national quality mark-awarded following independent assessment-recognises the quality of our
offer and the impact we have in supporting local voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations
Together, these accreditations underline our leadership in volunteering, our commitment to continuous
improvement, and the trust that local partners, funders, and communities place in our work.
We also celebrate the role EHCVS plays in national programmes such as the eVisa Transition Programme
and the Health Determinants Research Collaboration, which positions resident voice and local insight at the
centre of public service innovation.
Acknowledgements
I want to extend heartfelt thanks to my fellow trustees for their strategic guidance and support, and to our
funders, including the London Boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow, the NHS, Macmillan, the Home Office, and
the GLA, for their continued partnership and investment.
Most importantly, I wish to thank our extraordinary staff and volunteers. Your energy, professionalism, and
compassion are the driving force behind everything we do.
Conclusion
HCVS continues to be a trusted anchor in uncertain times—a platform for collaboration, a champion o
nclusion, and a catalyst for community-led change. On behalf of the Board, I look forward to another year o
shared impact, innovation, and progress across Ealing and Hounslow.
Anthony Ansell, Chair of the Board of Trustees

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 Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and Activities
The charity's objects are:

Ealing and Hounslow CVS (EHCVS) is increasingly delivering services through consortia arrangements and
partnerships. In these cases, EHCVS acts as the formal lead accountable body and has an overall funding
agreement in place. Individual voluntary organisations who are part of the consortia then receive payments

Financial Review
Financial Position
EHCVS's total income increased from £951,793 in 2023/24 to £976,771 in 2024/25.
EHCVS's total expenditure increased from £644,069 in 2023/24 to £688,724 in 2024/25.
A full breakdown of the movement in funds by project is given in the notes to the accounts.
Reserves Policy
The Charity Commission recognises the need for charities to hold sufficient reserves to secure their viability
beyond the immediate future and to protect themselves against future uncertainties. It recommends that
charities should be able to demonstrate, by reference to the charity's current position and prospects, why
holding a particular level of reserves is suitable for the charity at present. Responsibility for establishing an
appropriate reserves policy lies with the charity's trustees.
The charity's reserves are allocated to three different types of funds in its financial statements:
Restricted funds
These funds relate to unspent money from grants and other incoming sources where the funder has specified
what the money must be spent on, and the trustees do not have the power to use the funds for purposes
other than those in line with the funder's objectives.
Unrestricted funds
These funds relate to unspent money from grants and other incoming sources where the funder has not
specified what the money should be spent on, thereby granting the trustees complete control to spend on
general activities that further the charity's objectives.
Designated funds
Trustees,
at their discretion, may earmark part of unrestricted funds for specific activities, for example,
replacement of office equipment, without restricting or committing the funds in a legal sense. The trustees
may cancel the designation if they later decide the charity does not need these funds for a specified purpose.
The following relates to the level of unrestricted funds, including designated funds, needed by the charity:
Reasons for reserves
Unrestricted reserves may be needed to provide cover and security in the following events:
any salary, administration, accommodation and support costs, without which the charity could not
function, in the event of a loss of or reduction in funding;
9

EALING AND HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY VOLUNTARY SERVICE
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GAURANTEE)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
• any notice and redundancy costs should it be necessary to reduce core staffing levels, or if project
staff cannot be redeployed when funding comes to an end;
•
any working capital when funding is delayed or paid in arrears;
any deficits arising on restricted funds;
•
any unbudgeted events such
as sickness, maternity leave, recruitment to fill existing posts,
unexpected replacement of capital items;
• and any other risks and unforeseen expenditure which may arise that are beyond the charity's control
and cannot be met from existing income.
Reserves Review
The Board of Trustees has reviewed the level of reserves needed by the charity and agreed that the charity
should aim to hold unrestricted reserves sufficient to meet approximately six month's expenditure.
The level of reserves will be reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees, and the charity's financial position
will be monitored every quarter (unless financial circumstances require a more urgent change).
Principal Funding Sources
EHCVS's principal funding sources are mainly from charitable trusts and statutory bodies through grants.
Risk Management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure
appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
The Board of Trustees (Board) comprises a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 20 trustees. The Trustees may
appoint any individual to be a Trustee who is an individual member or the authorised representative of ar
organisation member and not disqualified under the Charities Act or the Companies Act. One-third of the
elected trustees retire by rotation at each annual accounts meeting and may offer themselves re-election.
New Trustees will be provided with an information pack outlining ECVS's activities. In addition, new trustees
are invited to visit ECVS's offices for a meeting with the Chief Executive and an introduction to staff. Each
year, there is a Staff/Trustee Away day for training, planning and evaluation. The Board considers the trustee,
staff and volunteer skills and training needs. A small budget for trustee training allows trustees to attend
relevant conferences or seminars.
Organisational Structure
The Board is responsible for the overall management and direction of the charity. The Board takes all major
financial, organisational and policy decisions. The Board meetings receive regular project progress reports
and quarterly financial management reports. The Board agrees on an annual Action Plan (setting priorities
for the year ahead) and receives an annual Performance Report (reporting achievements in the previous
year). The Board agrees to all new staff posts and receives copies of annual appraisal reports on each staff
member.
Day-to-day management and operational issues (including approval of purchase orders and invoices) are
delegated to the Chief Executive.
Wider Network
The trustees maintain a network of contacts in the London Borough of Ealing and Hounslow and surrounding
areas by delivering various services, projects, and programmes. In addition, a more comprehensive network
of contacts is made through membership, consortia arrangements and partnerships in the aforementioned
areas.
Auditor
Ward Williams Limited were appointed as auditor to the company and a resolution proposing that they be re-
appointed will be put at a General Meeting.
So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's Auditor is
unaware. Each Trustee has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a Director in order to
make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's Auditor
is aware of that information.
The Trustees' Annual Report has been approved and authorised for issue by the Board on ..02 December 2025
and signed on its behalf by:

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and
fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including
the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity
will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF EALING AND HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY VOLUNTARY
SERVICE
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Ealing and Hounslow Community Voluntary Service (the charity') for
the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the
tatement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accountin
olicies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and Unite
ingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standarc
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice)
In our opinion, the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its
incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of
the accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the accounts in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report
to you where:
the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not
appropriate; or
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast
significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a
period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial
statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material
misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF EALING AND HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY VOLUNTARY
SERVICE
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
ve have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts ar
eports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinior
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees'
report; or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the
charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 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 opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the
sector in which they operate. We determined that the following were most significant: the Companies Act
2006, the Charities Act 2011.
• We obtained an understanding of how the charity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks
by making inquiries to the management of the charity. We corroborated our inquiries through our review of
correspondence during our audit work.
• We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how
fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed included:
• identifying and assessing the design and implementation of controls management has in place to
prevent and detect fraud;
• understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for
override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
• challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in it's significant accounting
estimates;
• identifying and testing journal entries; and
• assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1
Accounting policies
Charity information
aling and Hounslow Community Voluntary Service is a private company limited by guarantee and registere
screen Wal. treed office is First Floor Unit 9, Broads Foundry, Trumpers Way
London, W7 2QP.
1.1
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the
Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting
from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting
policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable
objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and
uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the
charity.
1.4
Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met,
the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of
financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific
performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the
item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from
the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In
accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised. On receipt,
donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity
which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent
economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period
of receipt.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution,
the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a
contingent asset.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which
cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of
trading for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises those
costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and
services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those
costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of
disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and
include project management.
1.6
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of
depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment
Fixtures and fittings
25% per annum reducing balance basis
25% per annum reducing balance basis
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale
proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indicatior
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12
'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
transaction price including transaction
classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present
value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable
within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or
cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are
received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably
committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
