Connecting Communities in Berkshire Ltd |
Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019 |
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 31 March 2019. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the |
Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' SORP FRSSE |
The Community Council for Berkshire (CCB) is an independent charity enabling communities in Berkshire to thrive. We |
do this in partnership with government, local authorities, other voluntary sector organisations and the private sector. |
CCB delivers a wide range of projects that have a positive and long-lasting impact on our communities. |
CCB has been working as a not-for-profit community development agency across Berkshire for over 46 years, originally |
founded in 1973. Every member of the CCB team is knowledgeable and experienced in finding solutions that best meet |
the needs of communities. We develop partnerships that foster good communications, which in turn build engagement |
and can deliver strong sustainable futures. |
In November 2018, CCB's membership passed a resolution to change the name of the charity from Community Council |
for Berkshire to Connecting Communities in Berkshire. The new name better reflects what the charity does and sets it |
apart from the public sector, a common misconception. |
Our core mission is to inspire communities in Berkshire to thrive. We do this by providing information, advice, support |
and training to individuals, groups and other organisations. We work as enablers, raising money locally and nationally to |
deliver projects that have positive, long-lasting effects. |
Our vision is for all communities in Berkshire to be strong, sustainable and able to take control of their own futures. |
Values & Aims: |
- Integrity: honesty, fairness, respect and trustworthiness in all that we do |
- People: we respect the individual rights and dignity of all people. We value the skills and experience our staff bring to |
their work and seek to develop the best in others |
- Safety, health and the environment: we pledge to protect our environment and the health & safety of employees and |
the communities within which we operate |
- Partnerships: we are committed to maintaining positive relationships with our partners, funders and beneficiaries |
- Progress: we challenge ourselves to continually improve |
- Knowledge: we do what we can to share our knowledge and learn from others |
- Volunteering: we encourage people to find ways of giving their time for the benefit of others |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
The charity's objects (the Objects) are to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the communities in Berkshire |
and in particular, but not exclusively: |
- Community capacity building in urban and rural communities to ensure equality and diversity of opportunities and |
sustainable regeneration; |
- Information, advice, support, training and personal development for the benefit of individuals and organisations |
within the voluntary and community sector; |
- Information, advice, support and training for the benefit of communities, village and community buildings, community |
groups and individuals within the public and voluntary sectors; |
- Information, advice, support, training and the advancement of education for the benefit of disadvantaged groups and |
individuals, elderly people, and young people. |
These Objects were approved at the Annual General Meeting on 14 July 2009 and there have been no subsequent |
changes to them. |

Report of the Trustees |

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
In common with the previous years, CCB planned and delivered a series of projects and services that contribute to |
achieving the charitable purposes described in our Objects. These we see as the core activities of our function of being a |
Rural Community Council that is part of the Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) Network |
(www.acre.org.uk) and are summarised as: |
- Supporting the management committees of village halls and other community buildings |
- Delivering informal adult learning that supports people to develop the skills they need to actively contribute to |
improving the quality of life in their communities |
- Strategic influencing, intelligence-gathering and community support activities in the rural arena |
In addition to the above core activities, CCB delivered other projects that further contribute to the achievement of the |
Objects of the charity. These are summarised as: |
- Advice and guidance to tackle fuel poverty |
- The CCB Oil Club: bulk-buying fuel oil for people off the mains gas grid |
- Other general information, advice, guidance and capacity-building at a community level that supports and develops |
social capital and improves the quality of life for communities in Berkshire |
Trustees of the Charity have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and are content that |
decisions made by them comply with these requirements. Further information on the work of the charity during the year |
can be found in the CCB Annual Review 2018-2019 document. |
Fundraising activities |
From a service delivery perspective, CCB had a very good year. All of our achievements are detailed in our Annual |
Review document, available separately. In summary: |
- Our fuel poverty advice work supported 405 families and 33 front-line workers to address the very real impacts of high |
energy costs. Families are £25,760 better of as a result of claiming benefits they are entitled to but were unaware of. |
- 205 adults gained new skills that will better enable them to make a difference to their communities. |
- 102 members of the CCB Oil Club saved over £8,664 on heating their homes |
- 60 village halls and other community buildings received expert help in ensuring that they are well run and comply with |
all relevant legislation |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
The trustees have set aside a designated Contingency fund of £25,000. This figure is based on calculated potential |
liabilities and is held for use at the trustees' discretion to cover expenditure arising in the event of the need for a full or |
partial run down of the charity. |
In addition our target level of reserve funds is 3 to 6 months running costs, currently £24,000- £48,000. This level of |
reserves is considered necessary to ensure long-term sustainability and to smooth our cash-flow through the uncertain |
timing of grant funding. |
. |
Current level of funds |
Our current forecast shows that the reserves level, including the Contingency fund, in March 2020 will be £31,000, and |
trustees together with the Chief Officer and his operational team have prepared a plan to identify and open new income |
streams and improve this level of funding. |

Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019 |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Funds |
The overall deficit for the year as shown on the statement of financial activities was £20,804 (2018: £16,050). |
The net deficit for the year on unrestricted funds (representing core activities) amounted to £20,803 (2018: £16,279). |
The balance carried forward (unrestricted) at 31 March 2019 was £45,654 (2018: £66,227). |
The net deficit for the year on restricted funds amounted to £1 (2018: £0). |
The balance carried forward (restricted) at 31 March 2019 was £0 (2018: £2,220). |
The notes to the financial statements summarise the year's movements on each fund. Restricted funds relate principally |
to specifically funded projects for which income and expenditure balance over the period of their operation. However, |
receipts and payments are not always in step in the short term and balances held at any given date can vary. |
At the Board meeting held on 7th March 2018, the budget was approved for the 2018-2019 year. The budget projected |
an end-of-year deficit of £24k on a turnover of £88k. In common with previous years, not all budgeted income was |
secured at the start of the year and plans for business development contained new potential income not included within |
the budget. |
Regular financial reviews by the Board of Trustees and the use of a set of key financial tools, described below, enabled |
costs during the year to be carefully controlled. The original budget for the year projected costs of £112k, but service |
delivery cost increases pushed this figure to £115k. |
In common with the previous year, we were unable to make up all of the projected deficit. The figures will show that |
additional income of £6k left us with a year-end deficit of £20.8k, an improvement of £3.2k. Having built up free |
reserves in previous years for just such an eventuality, this deficit does not pose a particular problem, but does reduce |
our reserves that will protect us from future deficits. |
The key tools used by the Charity to maintain tight financial controls are: |
1. The Budget: broken down into central core costs and costs for each key project or service |
2. Cash-flow analysis: showing all income and expenditure, with a projected cash-in-hand figure and required |
contingency reserve figure on a monthly basis |
3. Terminal Contingency calculator: showing the total staff redundancy cost, combined with the total costs of all existing |
leases and contracts, analysed on a monthly basis |
4. Business Plan, detailing all activity required to secure budgeted income and new income. |
These tools are regularly updated and reviewed by the Board at every Board meeting. |
FUTURE PLANS |
CCB is an independent charity and as such, our immediate future depends on the sustainability of the current work |
programme and securing other, local opportunities to improve and expand the services we provide to communities in |
Berkshire. |
Our function as a Rural Community Council as part of the wider ACRE Network, however, rests on ACRE's continued |
sustainability. The ACRE Network of Rural Community Councils has come a long way over the last year. Two |
conferences bring the Network together each year allowing collaboration to develop new work, new partnerships and |
new ways of working together. By collaborating more effectively, the Network will be as strong as its strongest |
members, not the weakest. |
This year was the third of a 4-year funded agreement between ACRE and Defra, providing essential resources to enable |
the Network to continue to provide strategic support to rural communities, share learning on sustainable funding models |
and provide access to local intelligence. This agreement highlights the unique nature of the Network and Defra's |
commitment to supporting us to support our end beneficiaries. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16 June 1996 and registered as a charity on |
25 June 1996. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and |
powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being |
wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. |
Connecting Communities in Berkshire Ltd |
Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019 |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Organisational structure |
The affairs of the Community Council for Berkshire are controlled by a Board of Trustees. Board members are either |
elected or co-opted in accordance with the Articles of Association. The Board of Trustees meets quarterly. |
The Community Council for Berkshire is a membership organization that is open to membership from individuals and |
organizations across the county that are sympathetic to its aims and objectives. Trustees are drawn from the membership, |
and are invaluable in ensuring that the organization continues to deliver its mission effectively through understanding of |
the changing needs, policy framework and funding streams. |
Induction and training of new trustees |
CCB uses a skills matrix to record Trustee's skills and competencies against 60 different criteria. Recruitment activity is |
tailored depending on existing Trustee's skills and competencies to ensure gaps in skills can be filled by new Trustees. |
As Trustees approach their retirement date, analysis through the skills matrix enables the organisation to identify skills |
that will be required once they stand down. |
New Trustees are assisted in familiarising themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates through a |
thorough induction process, which covers: |
- The obligations of Trustees |
- The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles |
of Association. |
- Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts. |
- Future plans and objectives. |
Risk management |
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 the major risks. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the |
risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which allows |
for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures |
for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of |
staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the offices. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they |
continue to meet the needs of the charity. Major financial risks that have been identified and quantified are detailed in |
the notes to the accounts. |

Connecting Communities in Berkshire Ltd |
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Connecting Communities in Berkshire Ltd ('the Company') |
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2019. |
Responsibilities and basis of report |
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for |
the preparation of the accounts 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 |

Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. |

1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
3. | the accounts 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 accounts 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 |

Basis of preparing the financial statements |

Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it |
is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the |
charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and |
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has |
been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly |
attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of |
resources. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful |
life. |
Fixtures and fittings |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions |
arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
