Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The Centre was formed as an unincorporated association in 1983 and continued to be so until 1st March 2004 when the Vale of Evesham Volunteer Centre Limited, a company limited by guarantee was formed and work of the charity transferred to this new company in April 2004. Its objectives and regulations are regulated by the memorandum & articles of association of the company. On 27th April 2006 the company changed its name to Evesham Volunteer Centre .
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The trustees of the Centre include councillors from town, district and county councils as appointed by those bodies subject to the appointment processes of those bodies and the guidelines on appointment to public office as they apply to Local Government nominees and grant funding being given by those bodies to the Centre. All members are circulated with invitations to nominate trustees prior to the AGM, advising them of the retiring trustees and requesting nominations for the AGM. The trustees have the power to co-opt further members to fill specialist roles as and when necessary.
Trustee induction and training
New trustees are given an induction pack to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decisionmaking processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Organisation
The board of trustees administers the charity. The board meet during the year and when necessary subcommittees are formed to cover aspects of the Centre’s work. A Chief Officer has been appointed by the trustees to deal with the day-to-day operations of the charity and to facilitate effective operations. This officer has delegated authority, within terms approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and performance related activity.
Related parties
All related party transactions are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.
Pay policy for senior staff
All directors, who are also the trustees, give of their time freely and no director received remuneration in the year. Details of directors’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in the notes to the accounts. The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually.
Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises an annual review of the risks the charity may face and have systems and procedures in place to mitigate those risks identified. Should these risks materialise procedures would be implemented to minimise and potential impact on the charity. Nonfinancial risks have also been considered, with attention being paid to fire and health and safety of all concerned with the Centre and its work. The Centre also has a financial reserves policy which is is regularly reviewed by the trustees.
Objectives and activities
The general object of the charity in the year was to continue to undertake voluntary work in education, social services and similar charitable activities amongst those classes in need. The specific activities undertaken were as follows: - Operating a Community Transport Scheme
- Administration of a Scheme to Promote Older People’s Independence
- Recruit, advise and guide those willing to undertake voluntary work in education, social services and similar charitable activities - Continue to develop a supported and strengthened volunteering network throughout its area of provision by the direct services within its operation to contribute to the quality of life of the people of the Evesham Vale.
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
The activities and achievements of the charity are shown elsewhere in the annual report.
Financial review
Reserves policy
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned expenditure. The trustees have a policy to earmark funds in a designated closure fund. These funds are what the trustees’ prudently set aside to cover additional costs that may be incurred, if for any reason the company was to cease its activities. The Trust had reserves of £20,980 (2022: £22,565) on remaining non-designated unrestricted funds, the details of which are given in the notes to the accounts. The trustees believe the current level of reserves held will enable the charity to continue its work in the foreseeable future and are regularly reviewing funding availability to ensure that the charity can continue its operations in the medium term.
Principal funding sources
During the period of review, the principal funding came from various government organisations, charities and similar bodies.
Plans for the future
The trustees wish to continue the current areas of activities but can only do so if the charity in in receipt of the appropriate resources to carry out such activities.
Public Benefit
In pursuance of the objective, Evesham Volunteer Centre has had regard to the guidance from the Charities Commission on the provision of public benefit. The first principle requires Evesham Volunteer Centre to identify the benefits and second to demonstrate that these benefit the public or a section of the public. The principal object described above identifies the benefits, and the Chairman’s Report details how the charity delivers those benefits to the local community.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 10 October 2023 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Evesham Volunteer Centre
Year ended 31 March 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Evesham Volunteer Centre ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2023
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Lodge Rear of Dresden House, Brick Kiln Street, Evesham, WR11 4AA, Worcestershire.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Plant and machinery
-
25% to 50% on a reducing balance basis
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Every member of the Company undertakes to contribute such amount not exceeding £1.00 as may be required to the assets of the Company if it should be wound up while he is a member or within one year after he ceases to be a member for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company contracted before he ceases to be a member and the costs charges and expenses of winding up and for adjustments of the rights of the contributors among themselves.
