THE CANTERBURY DISTRICT C.A.B 

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st 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 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

Objectives and aims 

The charity's objects are to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in England and in particular Canterbury and surrounding areas, by the advancement of education, the protection and preservation of health and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress. The Canterbury District CAB aims to provide free, confidential, impartial and independent advice and information for the benefit of the local community, to exercise a responsible influence on the development of social policies and services and to ensure individuals do not suffer through a lack of knowledge or an inability to express their needs effectively. 

To obtain the necessary funding to provide the additional services, applications were made to various local and national providers of community finance. Advertisements were placed for advisory staff both as paid employees and volunteers, induction and training being provided to the extent that necessary knowledge and skills were not pre-existing. 

The following detailed objectives for the year to 31 March 2021 were set out in the Business Plan: 

- Continue to provide as full as a service as possible, particularly to vulnerable and disadvantaged clients - Review plan to reopen offices as soon as safely practicable for staff & clients - Ensure quality of advice standards maintained, locally and for local clients processed nationally - Liaise with funders re targets and contracts - Provide feedback to CCC re trends & local policy needs - Deal with CCC bid expected to be required Q3 2021/22 

- Monitor financial position to ensure LCA continues to meet budgets & targets 

- Plan, in conjunction with Citizens Advice for longer term operation - consider: ‘is the way we have always done things the right model for the future?’ 

## Public benefit 

The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in deciding the activities undertaken by The Canterbury District CAB during the year. The Trustees are satisfied that the information provided in the report and accounts meets the public benefit reporting requirements. The principal activity of The Canterbury District CAB remained the provision of free, confidential, independent and impartial advice, information and counsel for the members of the public. This is provided through two local Citizens Advice in Canterbury and Heme Bay and an outreach service in Whitstable. 

In addition to generalist advice the following specialist advisory services were provided: - Debt advice - Macmillan Cancer Support, welfare benefits advice to individuals, their families and carers affected by cancer 

Advisory services were provided through face-to-face consultations, telephone advice lines and various outreach services at various community centres throughout the Canterbury area. 

Contribution of Volunteers The charity receives help and support in the form of voluntary assistance in advising the public and administering the charity. 

There continues to be significant demand for our services. In order to be able to meet this demand we are heavily dependent upon our volunteer advisers who continue to be overstretched. The volunteers are the backbone of the service we offer, without them the free advice service provided by The Canterbury District CAB could not continue. They freely give up their time on a regular basis and take the ever-increasing complexities of legislation in their stride. The Trustees are indebted to them and to all the staff who also work so conscientiously to ensure operation of the Bureau is successful. The Canterbury District CAB constantly seeks to recruit and train new volunteer advisers, receptionists and administrative support. Including trustees 36 volunteers contributed approximately 13,562 hours per annum, at an estimated value of £267,373. Excluding trustees 28 volunteers contributed approximately 12,350 hours of work to the bureau during the year. We estimate the value of this help at £235,304 in respect of the current year (2020: £347,547). Some volunteers are not currently doing any hours but will return at a later stage of pandemic.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

## Charitable activities 

The Trustees’ attention was focused on the main objectives as follows: - The need to continue and improve the service offered to the public and more particularly to retain and recruit staff. ~ To review and consolidate adequate future funding for the bureau. 

The Canterbury District CAB sawa total of 4,938 client contacts, including 1,050 quick client contacts with 15,020 issues and enquiries in 2020/21 (2019/20, 5,022 client contacts with 18,507 issues and enquiries). The Canterbury District CAB assisted in the recovery of funds on behalf of clients. The recovery was made up of income gained £7,407,166, reimbursements £4,436, debts written off £423,619 and other gains totalling £1 ,358,441. 

## Fundraising activities 

The income for the year was £3,919 an increase of £1,958 on 2019/2020. The main source of fundraising was subscriptions from The Friends and a donation of £1000 from the Dean and Chapter. 

## Investment performance 

The charity does not currently hold material investments. 

## Internal and external factors 

The charity is only too well aware of the financial pressures experienced by its major funders, and in view of this has taken active measures to seek additional sources of funding for its services. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Financial position 

Income sources in the year generated £472,802 (2019/20 £465,851). Of this £263,960 (2019/20 £259,074) related to project restricted activities. 

An overall surplus is recorded for this year of £30,299 (2019/20 surplus £15,991). This related to an excess of funding received over expenditure on direct services and included a Council Covid Grant of £20,000. 

## Principal funding sources 

The Directors extend their gratitude to Canterbury City Council for continuing to support the core operating capacity of the charity. Additionally project-specific funding was received from Macmillan Cancer Support, Help to Claim from Citizens Advice and Money Advice and Pensions Service. 

The charity did not have any borrowings from either providers of funding or other sources at the balance sheet date. 

## Reserves policy 

The Canterbury District CAB is required to ensure that free monies are available in each financial year to meet any reasonable foreseeable contingency. The Canterbury District CAB will maintain a projection of income for at least 3 years ahead and will ensure that this continues to be derived from as wide a variety of sources as possible. They will take all necessary steps to ensure that at no time within this period would it be possible for the cessation of one or more funding streams to present so serious a challenge to the future of the organisation that it could not be managed so as to continue to provide a best value advice service. 

In reviewing the potential costs that could arise should a significant reduction in income be incurred the Trustees have determined that ‘free’ reserves of £100,000 should be maintained which is equal to 3 months normal operating expenditure. As at 31 March 2021 the unrestricted general fund has a balance of £94,677 and the designated funds have a balance of £257,882 (which can if necessary be used for general purposes). 

The reasons for holding particular reserves are outlined in notes 15 and 16. 

## Going concern 

The Canterbury District CAB took steps to protect its clients, staff and volunteers during the Covid-19 pandemic by pausing its face to face service and delivering its advice by telephone, webcams and email. Following Government guidelines the local Citizens Advice restarted a limited face to face service from July 2021. 

The contract with Canterbury City Council ended in June 2021, at which time a grant was awarded for the subsequent two years, with this and other grants confirmed going forward, the Trustees consider the going concern basis to be appropriate. 

## Funds in deficit 

No funds were in deficit at the balance sheet date.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 

## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

## Recruitment and appointment of new trustees 

The Trustees, who are also directors of the company, are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Trustees serve for a year and may be re-elected at the next AGM for a further year. 

Where Trustees are appointed during the year they may be co-opted but in order to remain a Trustee for the forthcoming year they must be formally elected at the next AGM. Newly appointed Trustees are provided with a comprehensive induction to the Canterbury District CAB through being able to attend training courses and mentoring by established Trustees. 

The Trustees deal with the general affairs of the charity through a Trustee Board. The Chairman of the Trustee Board is elected from the members of that Board. No other persons or bodies external to the charity were entitled to appoint persons to the Trustee Board. 

The Canterbury District CAB is governed by its Trustee Board which is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organisation and the policy of the charity. The Trustees carry the ultimate responsibility for the conduct of The Canterbury District CAB and for ensuring that the charity satisfies its legal and contractual obligations. 

The Trustees meet at least four times a year; this includes strategy and performance review and the setting of operational plans and budgets. Additional meetings are convened when necessary. In addition, the following are entitled to attend: 

A representative from Citizens Advice 

A representative from the workers 

The Chief Officer 

and by invitation, any other person that the Board of Trustees thinks fit. 

The Trustees delegate the day to day operation of the organisation to senior management. The Trustee Board is independent from management. A register of members’ interests is maintained at the registered office and is available to the public. 

## Related parties 

The Canterbury District CAB is a member of Citizens Advice, the operating name of the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux, which provides a framework for standards of advice and casework management as weil as monitoring progress against these standards. Operating policies are independently determined by the Trustee Board of The Canterbury District CAB in order to fulfil its charitable objects and comply with the national membership requirements. 

The charity also co-operates and liaises with a number of other advisory services, local charities and social services departments on behalf of clients. Where one of the Trustees holds the position of trustee/director of another charity he or she may be involved in discussions regarding that other charity but not in the ultimate decision-making process. 

## Statement of Internal Controls 

The local Citizens Advice trustee board oversee the information security of all personal information of our clients, staff, funders and strategic partners that is processed. The local Citizens Advice hold joint responsibility for client data that is held in our case management system, with the national Citizens Advice Service. An information assurance management team exists to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of ail personal and sensitive data is maintained to a level which is compliant with the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018. 

## Risk management 

The Canterbury District CAB has worked on a Corporate Risk Management exercise. A risk management strategy was agreed by the Trustee Board. The Trustees recognise that any major risks to which the charity is exposed need to be reviewed and systems put in place to mitigate those risks. To that end The Canterbury District CAB is continually monitoring and managing its risk, reviewing the Corporate Risk register and ensuring action plans are in place to mitigate its key risks. 

Included in external risks is that of the loss of funding. The effects of this have been minimised by the procedures in place, which have resulted in funding being secured from a variety of sources. The charity continues to seek to diversify its funding sources. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. 

## Information Assurance 

information Assurance is reviewed annually. An information Assurance Accounting Officer and Senior Information Risk Officer are in place. Staff undergo annual information assurance training and assessment at a level appropriate to their role. Information assurance is on-going as new projects are undertaken.
