Any Trustee appointed may hold office for life (subject to meeting the requirements of Article 33 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008).

Trustees review strategy and operational performance. New Trustees meet with the other members of the Trustee Board who provide them with all the information they need on the work of the Organisation which is further enhanced at the meetings of the Board thereafter. The Board delegates the exercise of certain tasks in connection with the management and administration of the Organisation. This is controlled by requiring regular reporting back to the Board so that all decisions can be ratified in due course. ## Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities and Corporate Governance The organisation is registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.

Total incoming resources for the year amounted to £497,743 (2023: £439,194). Total resources expended of £385,972 (2023: £253,185) resulted in a net surplus of resources for the year of £111,771 (2023: surplus of £186,009). There were balances on restricted funds at the year-end of £205,993 (2023: £170,899). The balance on unrestricted funds at the year-end was £1,459,189 (2023: £1,382,512) which includes £533,620 funds designated in the asset holding fund (2023: £545,844) and £1,342 funds designated in the JVC Hub Synergy (designated) fund (2023: £1,342). Unrestricted funds are free and represent the reserves available to the Trustees to help fulfil current and future plans. Breakdowns of the amounts recorded for incoming resources and resources expended are given in notes 3 and 4 to the accounts. ## OUR SUPPORTERS TeamJVC Community Trust acknowledges that without the strong ongoing commitment and support of many organisations without which it would not be possible to work effectively towards our vision. We want to thank all who fund the charity. We particularly want to thank the many volunteers who freely give their time to help the organisation. ## RESERVES POLICY The Trustees believe that the Organisation should hold financial reserves because: - It has no endowment funding and is currently dependent for income upon donations and income from investments from year to year which are subject to review; - It requires protection against and the ability to continue operating despite unforeseen setbacks; and - It requires the ability to be able to take advantage of change and opportunities to further its objectives. The Trustees believe that the level of unrestricted reserves should be the equivalent of between 6 and preferably 12 months’ operating costs calculated and reviewed annually. Reserves should be built up to the desired level in stages consistent with the charity’s overall financial position and its need to maintain and develop its charitable activities. The level of total unrestricted reserves (excluding designated reserves) stands at £924,228. With operating costs (all funds) currently amounting to approximately £385,000 per year, this would mean a target reserve balance of between £192,500 and £385,000. The Board of Trustees acknowledge that the level of reserves held exceeds the requirements of the reserve policy but will be designating surplus funds in the future to a specific building project (see under “future developments” below). Details of the Organisation’s funds are shown in Note 11. An analysis of the Organisation’s net assets between the funds is given in Note 13. The Trustees consider that sufficient resources are held in an appropriate form to enable each fund to be applied in accordance with any restriction imposed. ## EMPLOYEES The Organisation aims to be an employer for which employees enjoy working and where they feel supported and developed. Employees are kept fully informed about its strategy and objectives, as well as day to day news and events. Regular information about the organisation is available through meetings and e-mails. All employees are encouraged to give their views and suggestions on performance and strategy. The Organisation supports equal opportunity. Page 5 of 17 Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditor Sinclair House, 89/101 Royal Avenue Belfast BT1 1FE ## FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS The Trustees have started the work for the new foodbank at the Charity’s site at Woodburn Road in Carrickfergus. This work should be completed by September 2024 at an estimated cost of £100,000 Any spend will be met out of foodbank restricted reserves. We have agreed the site with solicitors for a property in Carrickfergus which we intend to build suitable accommodation for those in crisis, such as trafficking, abuse. We our awaiting the documents for signatures. ## MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES The following held office during the year: Mr Lewis Smyth, Mrs Gwen Smyth, Mr Henry McCrory, Mr John Moore and Mr Alan Stewart Principal Bankers: Santander Ulster Bank Bootle 2 Farmley Road Merseyside Glengormley L30 4GB BT36 7QU ## Independent Examiners: Diamond & Skillen Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditor Sinclair House 89/101 Royal Avenue Belfast BT1 1FE Diamond & Skillen were appointed as the charity’s independent examiners during the year. These financial statements and this report have been prepared in accordance with the 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 Ireland (FRS102) (effective from 1st January 2015) and in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 31st July 2024 and signed on its behalf by: ———————————— Lewis Smyth - Trustee 18th August 2024 Page 6 of 17 Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditor Sinclair House, 89/101 Royal Avenue Belfast BT1 1FE ## TEAMJVC COMMUNITY TRUST ## Independent Examiners’ Report to the trustees of TeamJVC Community Trust I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of TeamJVC Community Trust for the year ended 5th April 2024 which are set out on pages 3 to 17. ## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 65(3) of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and have requested than an independent examiner's report be prepared. I report in respect of my examination of the Trustees’ accounts carried out under Section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charities Commission for Northern Ireland. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under charity or company legislation and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008; - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## Basis of independent examiner’s report My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## Independent examiner’s statement The charity’s gross income in the year was £497,743 (2023: £439,194). I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 63 of the Act; - the accounts do not accord with those records; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 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 accounts to be reached. ~~————————————~~ Nigel V Skillen FCA Diamond & Skillen Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland Sinclair House 89/101 Royal Avenue Belfast BT1 1FE 18th August 2024 Page 7 of 17 Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditor Sinclair House, 89/101 Royal Avenue Belfast BT1 1FE ## TEAMJVC COMMUNITY TRUST ## Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating Income and Expenditure Account) for the year ended 5th April 2024 |Notes|Totals

Page 10 of 17 Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditor Sinclair House, 89/101 Royal Avenue Belfast BT1 1FE Notes forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 5th April 2024 ## TEAMJVC COMMUNITY TRUST ## 1. Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: ## 1.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting ad 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 from 1st January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 TeamJVC Community Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). ## 1.2 Reconciliation with previously Generally Accepted Accounting Practice In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) the restatement of comparative items was required. No restatements were required. ## 1.3 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis The trustees are of the view that as the reserves of the charity are within the requirement of the charity’s reserves policy, the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and on that basis the charity is a going concern. ## 1.5 Revenue Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met: - the charity has entitlement to the funds; - any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity; - it is probable that the income will be received; and - the amount can be measured reliably Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. ## Grants receivable Grants receivable which relate to the year are credited to income within the Statement of Financial Activities, with unspent balances being carried forward to subsequent years within the relevant fund. Specific debts are recognised where approved grant expenditure exceeds grant income received to date. Grant income relating to future periods is carried forward under creditors. ## 1.6 Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. ## 1.7 Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. The fund comprises the accumulated surpluses and deficits of unrestricted income and expenditure. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of administering such funds are charges against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund. Page 11 of 17 Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditor Sinclair House, 89/101 Royal Avenue Belfast BT1 1FE ## TEAMJVC COMMUNITY TRUST Notes forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 5th April 2024 (cont’d) ## 1. Accounting Policies (cont’d) ## 1.8 Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT Expenditure is recognised once there is legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: - Expenditure on raising funds comprises the costs of marketing and promoting the charity and its activities; - Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs allocated to the performance of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs; - Expenditure on other items represents those items not falling into any other heading. - Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an cost included in individual items of expenditure. ## 1.9 Allocation of costs to funds All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. ## 1.10 Non Current Assets Non Current assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditure is recognised as capital in nature for: - Freehold property Amounts over £5,000 - Fixtures & Fittings Amounts over £3,000 - Computers & Equipment Amounts over £3,000 Depreciation is provided at the following rates: - Freehold property Not depreciated - Plant & Machinery 20% reducing balance - Fixtures & Fittings 20% reducing balance - Computers & Equipment 20% reducing balance Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of fixed assets over their anticipated useful lives. Depreciation is provided at the following rates: ## 1.11 Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due. ## 1.11 Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## 1.13 Payables and provisions Payables and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Payables and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. ## 1.14 Pensions The amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities represents the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
