The Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk is concerned that only limited consultation has taken place in the west of the county and is keen to ensure that people who live, work and do business in West Norfolk fully understand the implications of the proposals being put forward and are empowered to really make their voice heard. The Borough Council is not convinced that the proposals put forward by the Boundary Committee represent an improvement on the existing arrangements and is keen to hear your views.

There are over 500 registered charities in West Norfolk alone, most relying on the goodwill and generosity of the communities they serve to survive. WNVCA (West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action) works behind the scenes, matchmaking people with organisations who need their help. “Anybody can volunteer – from teenagers right up to retired people. Whether you want to make new friends, get work experience, give something back or use your time to help others, volunteering appeals to a wide range of people,” explained Chris England. “All sorts of organisations rely on volunteers – from animal welfare charities, to lunch clubs, local sports teams, environmental conservation groups and community support organisations like Samaritans – and there’s always a shortage of volunteers.” Anyone interested in volunteering can find out more from the WNVCA’s local office in 16 Tuesday Market Place, Kings Lynn. Opening hours are: King’s Lynn: Monday – Friday 9am – 4pm. Call 01553 760568 A volunteer is someone who offers time and skills to help others.

The purpose and activity of the team is to ensure that the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) is fully ST1:PERSONNAME w:st=oninformed, engaged and consulted with at both district and county level. This is particularly important in the implementation and development of public services. Over the past few years nearly all ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st=on ST1:PLACE w:st=onUK governmental departments have moved away from being the providers of services to becoming the commissioners (buyers in). Therefore, it is important that the VCS is robustly represented in this process and is an integral part of this change. The Partnership team represents the Voluntary sector on ST1:PLACE w:st=onWest Norfolk’s Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), ensuring that the VCS has a strong voice and is involved and consulted on local plans and policies. Local Strategic Partnerships are non-statutory, multi agency partnerships which follow local authority boundaries; bringing together at local level the different parts of the Public, Private, Community and Voluntary sectors. This encourages different initiatives and services to support one another so that they can work together more effectively. They have been set up to ensure that the services provided meet the real needs of the community. Our LSP, which is known as The West Norfolk Partnership (WNP) is made of four individual thematic groups; these are Healthier Communities and Older People, Children and Young People, Economic and the Safer and Stronger Communities Partnership. Our team also participates in Voluntary Youth, Older People, Diverse, Health, Carers and Transport Forums. All this action driven involvement puts the team in an excellent place to meet the promises made to the community in our Mission Statement and Aims.

The third sector could soon be banished from town halls across st1:place w:st=onst1:country-region w:st=on England thanks to a crackdown by the Local Government Association. ‘Third Sector’ is number 92 in a list of 100 ‘non-words’ the LGA is urging councils to stop using in a bid to help them communicate more effectively. Councils should instead use the words ‘charities and voluntary organisations’, it says. ‘Partnerships’, ‘community engagement’ and ‘joint working’ could also be ditched by local authorities as part of the crackdown. The LGA argues that the term ‘partnerships’ should be replaced with ‘working together’ and ‘engaging users’ with ‘getting people involved.’ Levels of people donating more than £5 a year at three year low The proportion of adults in st1:country-region w:st=onst1:place w:st=onBritain who donate more that £5 a year to charity has dropped to its lowest level in three years, a survey has revealed. Statistics from the British Market Research Bureau show that the figure has fallen from 70 per cent in 2005 to 63 per cent this year. The figures are based on the questionnaire responses of 25,000 randomly selected people over the age of 15 throughout the st1:country-region w:st=onst1:place w:st=onUK.

In st1:City w:st=onst1:place w:st=onNorfolk, Supporting People is run by a partnership of organisations led by Norfolk County Council and including all of the local and district authorities, health and probation. In 2007 Supporting People led a countywide review of sheltered housing. The review looked to see if sheltered housing was meeting current needs and considered how well it will be able to meet future needs. Their review has told them… • Sheltered housing is an important part in the range of accommodation and support for older people but there needs to be a wide range offering more choices about where to live. • Support is strongly tied at the moment to sheltered housing - although there has been a recent expansion in Home Improvement and Handy Persons Services. • A proportion of existing sheltered housing is not of good enough standard and hard to let because units are too small; access is difficult; there is a lack of facilities or the location is poor. • Some schemes in rural areas need better access to shops, amenities and services. • Some sheltered services offer routine visits and set times when support is available - this approach does not cater for individual needs and choices. • Only a small number of existing schemes offer their activities and e "); array_files[22]=new Array(0,1,"./_vti_cnf/whos_who.htm","2008-07-17","4K","./_vti_cnf/whos_who.htm ","","","vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl vti_author:SR|Chris-PCChris vti_modifiedby:SR|WNVCAkate vti_timelastmodified:TR|17 Jul 2008 09:23:10 -0000 vti_timecreated:TR|06 Oct 2007 10:32:45 -0000 vti_title:SR|Sliced Image vti_extenderversion:SR|12.0.0.4518 vti_lineageid:SR|{8C8AB9EA-2F6A-4196-9D59-F4E90604DD0F} vti_backlinkinfo:VX|what_is_wnvca.htm whos_who.htm site_map.htm back_room_charges.htm partnership.htm in_touch.htm lite_touch.htm members.htm find_us.htm seamless_support.htm developement_ian_visit.htm trustee.htm index.htm funding ops.htm volunteer ops - west norfolk.htm development.htm organisation_of_the_month.htm contact_us.htm terms_cond.htm in_touch_national.htm development_news.htm partnership_news.htm volunteer ops - specific areas.htm vol_centre.htm vol_centre_news.htm services.htm links.htm in_touch_local.htm equipment.htm -.htm recruitment.htm resources.htm docs.htm disclaimer.htm volunteer opportunities.htm development_public_benefit_guidance.htm vti_nexttolasttimemodified:TW|03 Apr 2008 10:39:28 -0000 vti_cacheddtm:TX|17 Jul 2008 09:21:17 -0000 vti_filesize:IR|17619 vti_cachedtitle:SR|Sliced Image vti_cachedbodystyle:SR| vti_cachedlinkinfo:VX|S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|r1c1.gif S|r1c2.gif S|shim.gif H|what_is_wnvca.htm S|Button1.gif H|whos_who.htm S|Button2.gif H|vol_centre.htm S|Button3.gif H|partnership.htm S|Button4.gif H|development.htm S|Button5.gif H|in_touch.htm S|Button6.gif H|lite_touch.htm S|Button7.gif S|shim.gif S|r3c1.gif S|shim.gif H|trustee.htm H|index.htm H|resources.htm H|services.htm H|docs.htm H|members.htm H|links.htm H|find_us.htm H|contact_us.htm H|site_map.htm S|images/headers/whos_who.jpg S|images/staff_photos/heatherfarley.jpg S|images/staff_photos/judith_berry.jpg S|images/staff_photos/chrisengland.jpg S|images/staff_photos/maxinefiander.jpg S|images/staff_photos/judith_flack.jpg S|images/staff_photos/ian_francis.jpg S|images/staff_photos/michellejohnson.jpg S|images/staff_photos/jackielawrence.jpg S|images/staff_photos/ka "); array_files[23]=new Array(0,1,"./whos_who.htm","2008-07-17","17K","West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action ","",""," West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action Sliced Image Meet our Trustees here Home Resources Services Documents Members Links How to find us Contact Us Site Map Heather Farley, Chief Executive.

After a lengthy period of consultation there is now a new membership requirement that all Charities will have to meet these statutory requirements as of 1st April this year. Current guidance from the Commission states that all Charity Trustee’s are now required to have regard for the new guidance, further to this the Commission explains in it’s “Summary Guidance for Charity Trustee’s on Charities and Public Benefit” that “….from this point, all organisations wishing to be recognised as charities must demonstrate, explicitly, that their aims are for the public benefit”. So what is public benefit and how do you demonstrate it? According to the Charity Commission public benefit is “the legal requirement that every organisation set up for one or more charitable aims must be able to demonstrate that its aims are for the public benefit if it is to be recognised, and registered, as a charity in st1:country-region w:st=on England and st1:country-region w:st=onst1:place w:st=onWales”. This is known as ‘the public benefit requirement’. Within this definition of public benefit there are two key principles which must also be met. Firstly, benefit or benefits must be identifiable and related to the organisations aims. Secondly, these benefits must be for the public or proportion of the public and that any private benefits are incidental. This seems obvious enough but how does an organisation go about demonstrating these requirements? It is now the responsibility of the Charity Trustee’s to report on their individual Charities public benefit. For smaller Charities where the income falls below the requirement for an audit, i.e. below £500K, trustee are required to provide a brief summary in their Trus "); array_files[42]=new Array(0,1,"./_vti_cnf/development.htm","2008-04-17","3K","./_vti_cnf/development.htm ","","","vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl vti_author:SR|Chris-PCChris vti_modifiedby:SR|WNVCAharriet vti_timelastmodified:TR|17 Apr 2008 13:04:52 -0000 vti_timecreated:TR|06 Oct 2007 10:49:29 -0000 vti_title:SR|Sliced Image vti_extenderversion:SR|12.0.0.6211 vti_lineageid:SR|{DF9F6408-A112-41A9-820C-FEFC2A0001D9} vti_backlinkinfo:VX|what_is_wnvca.htm whos_who.htm site_map.htm back_room_charges.htm partnership.htm in_touch.htm lite_touch.htm members.htm find_us.htm seamless_support.htm developement_ian_visit.htm trustee.htm index.htm funding ops.htm volunteer ops - west norfolk.htm development.htm organisation_of_the_month.htm contact_us.htm terms_cond.htm in_touch_national.htm development_news.htm partnership_news.htm volunteer ops - specific areas.htm vol_centre.htm vol_centre_news.htm services.htm links.htm in_touch_local.htm equipment.htm -.htm recruitment.htm resources.htm docs.htm disclaimer.htm volunteer opportunities.htm development_public_benefit_guidance.htm vti_nexttolasttimemodified:TW|31 Jan 2008 11:10:12 -0000 vti_cacheddtm:TX|17 Apr 2008 13:04:52 -0000 vti_filesize:IR|13778 vti_cachedtitle:SR|Sliced Image vti_cachedbodystyle:SR| vti_cachedlinkinfo:VX|S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|r1c1.gif S|r1c2.gif S|shim.gif H|what_is_wnvca.htm S|Button1.gif H|whos_who.htm S|Button2.gif H|vol_centre.htm S|Button3.gif H|partnership.htm S|Button4.gif H|development.htm S|Button5.gif H|in_touch.htm S|Button6.gif H|lite_touch.htm S|Button7.gif S|shim.gif S|r3c1.gif S|shim.gif H|index.htm H|resources.htm H|services.htm H|docs.htm H|members.htm H|links.htm H|find_us.htm H|contact_us.htm H|site_map.htm S|images/headers/development.jpg H|development_public_benefit_guidance.htm H|development_news.htm H|developement_ian_visit.htm H|seamless_support.htm H|funding ops.htm H|http://www.navca.org.uk/ H|http://www.volunteering.org.uk/ H|http://www.investorsinpeople.co.uk/Pages/Home.aspx S|images/footerb.jpg K|development.htm H|disclaimer.htm H|terms_cond.htm vti_cachedsvcrellinks:VX|FSU "); array_files[43]=new Array(0,1,"./development.htm","2008-04-17","13K","West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action ","",""," West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action Sliced Image Home Resources Services Documents Members Links How to find us Contact Us Site Map The Development Team is here to help any voluntary and community group in the West of Norfolk.

Successful fundraising enables you to plan the long term future of your organisation. Devising, implementing and reviewing a fundraising strategy is a way for charities to work towards sustainable funding. A fundraising strategy will give a total picture of the future costs involved for the organisation and identify the planned sources of income to cover them, particularly to enable the organisation to be financially sustainable. In summary, the purpose of a fundraising strategy is to show: · The present sources of money and fundraising situation for the organisation · Where it wants to be in relation to fundraising to deliver its goals · How it is going to get there Sustainable Funding ­ the goal Sustainability is about the long-term ability of your organisation to achieve its mission. Funding insecurities and short-term project cycles drain organisations and constrain the work they do. Sustainable funding is about moving beyond the shortterm to a more durable and dependable income base. This can be achieved through: 1) Strategic planning 2) Grant & income diversification Fundraising Strategy ­ the tool Put simply, a fundraising strategy is a plan that sets out how an organisation intends to fund its work.

They are committed to enabling all vulnerable people in the community and those close to them to live fulfilling lives. Their focus is with people with a learning difficulty and their carers, but they are inclusive in their outlook, and we support people with physical disabilities and sensory impairment as well. They are very flexible, and hope that their service is led by the needs of their members, not by fixed ideas of their own. They support people who are growing the skills they need to live independently, encourage the development of communication skills and strategies, in a person centred way. They also support artistic expression through music making, drama and art, and support people at the gym or in sports, adapting programmes to meet peoples needs. Operating on every day of the week and into the evenings on some days. About the Volunteers There is such a variety of activities to get involved with. Their team of volunteers, staff, trainees and not forgetting their trustees is expanding all the time. They work in support roles, one to one, or leading group activities. Volunteers are usually supernumerary. They try to ensure that everyone has a chance to work in areas where they are especially interested, be it archery, woodcraft, beekeeping or savin "); array_files[71]=new Array(0,4,"./PDF_Docs/Volunteer_Registration_Form_for_Kings_Lynn.pdf","2007-12-13","179K"," WEST NORFOLK COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICES "," "," ","CONFIDENTIAL (when completed) Volunteer Registration Form 1.

My guide for the day was Ann Woolner, Rural Social Enterprise officer for st1:place w:st=on North Herts “Council for the Voluntary Sector”. Ann’s role is similar to mine as she seeks to support and development social enterprises within a defined region. The difference lies in the focus of this support. Ann’s work is purely rural development of social enterprise, this sees her spending much of her time winding down the back lanes of deepest st1:place w:st=on North Herts trying to map read and negotiating many a tricky hair pin bend, which I can vouch for is an interesting experience. Thanks to the willingness of Ann’s contacts we were able to make the very best of the day and arranged to meet at Royston Community Transport Project based within st1:place w:st=onst1:PlaceName w:st=on Royston st1:PlaceType w:st=onHospital. We then set off to St Elizabeth’s Convent in Ware. Originally set up as a registered charity, some hundred or so years ago, to support people of all ages with server epilepsy, it now maximises its ability to trade as a charity, within its original charitable purposes. Two key enterprise projects enable the generation of income and simultaneously minimise the need to seeking out grant funding. That’s not to say that grant funding is unimportant, quite the reverse as without it neither of the Arts or the Horticultural projects, which now serve to sustain them, would have got off the ground. Ray Rolf who is central to the Horticultural projects development took us round the grounds to see how both the projects worked, whose involved and how things can be develo "); array_files[77]=new Array(0,1,"./_vti_cnf/seamless_support.htm","2007-10-18","3K","./_vti_cnf/seamless_support.htm ","","","vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl vti_author:SR|WNVCAHarriet vti_modifiedby:SR|WNVCAHarriet vti_timelastmodified:TR|18 Oct 2007 14:14:51 -0000 vti_timecreated:TR|18 Oct 2007 13:26:09 -0000 vti_title:SR|West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action vti_extenderversion:SR|12.0.0.4518 vti_backlinkinfo:VX|development.htm seamless_support.htm vti_nexttolasttimemodified:TW|18 Oct 2007 14:14:51 -0000 vti_cacheddtm:TX|18 Oct 2007 14:14:51 -0000 vti_filesize:IR|16470 vti_cachedtitle:SR|West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action vti_cachedbodystyle:SR| vti_cachedlinkinfo:VX|S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|shim.gif S|r1c1.gif S|r1c2.gif S|shim.gif H|what_is_wnvca.htm S|Button1.gif H|whos_who.htm S|Button2.gif H|vol_centre.htm S|Button3.gif H|partnership.htm S|Button4.gif H|development.htm S|Button5.gif H|in_touch.htm S|Button6.gif H|lite_touch.htm S|Button7.gif S|shim.gif S|r3c1.gif S|shim.gif A|JavaScript:OnSearchSubmit() S|searchdb.js S|searchindex.js H|index.htm H|resources.htm H|services.htm H|docs.htm H|members.htm H|links.htm H|find_us.htm H|contact_us.htm H|site_map.htm S|BD14583_.gif S|BD14583_.gif S|BD14583_.gif S|BD14583_.gif S|BD14583_.gif S|BD14583_.gif H|mailto:ianf@westnorfolkvca.org H|mailto:ianf@westnorfolkvca.org H|http://www.seamlesssupport.co.uk/ S|images/Investing in Communities colour logo.JPG H|http://www.seamlesssupport.co.uk/ S|images/Seamless Support Logo.JPG H|http://www.navca.org.uk/ H|http://www.volunteering.org.uk/ H|http://www.investorsinpeople.co.uk/Pages/Home.aspx S|images/footerb.jpg K|seamless_support.htm H|disclaimer.htm H|terms_cond.htm vti_cachedsvcrellinks:VX|FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|shim.gif FSUS|r1c1.gif FSUS|r1c2.gif FSUS|shim.gif FHUS|what_is_wnvca.htm FSUS|Button1.gif FHUS|whos_who.htm FSUS|Button2.gif FHUS|vol_centre.htm FSUS|Button3.gif FHUS|partnership.htm FSUS|Button4.gif FHUS|development.htm FSUS|Button5.gif FHUS|in_touch.htm FSUS|Button6.gif FHUS|lite_touch.htm "); array_files[78]=new Array(0,1,"./seamless_support.htm","2007-10-18","16K","Home ","",""," Home West Norfolk Voluntary and Community Action Home Resources Services Documents Members Links How to find us Contact Us Site Map Seamless Support: Partnership Project Do you have an idea that will benefit your community?Talk to one of us!

Well, if you haven’t heard already, this is an excellent opportunity for any voluntary, community or social enterprise organisation to tap into a broad range of free advice and expertise, which, if appropriate, can be tailored to meet your needs. At the last count over two hundred organisations across st1:place w:st=onst1:City w:st=on Norfolk have sought and accessed assistance through the project since its launch last November. The over arching aim of Seamless Support is to develop you and your group’s skills to strengthen and enhance the vital services that you deliver. Further more this is an opportunity to gain an increased awareness and understanding of how becoming a social enterprise could improve your group’s sustainability. Who’s involved in the project? Alongside our-selves at WNVCA, there are st1:City w:st=onst1:place w:st=onNorwich and Norfolk Voluntary Services, Norfolk Rural Community Council and The Guild, working in partnership to deliver Seamless Support across the whole of the county. The project itself is funded by EEDA (East of England Development Agency) through the Investing in Communities fund. Each of the four partners has particular knowledge and skills which will be of benefit to all organisations working within the voluntary and community sector.

They are responsible for the direction and performance of a charity. If the charity has few or no staff, trustees may be directly involved in the day to day running of the charity and trustees will be responsible for monitoring and controlling their activities. What is expected of a charity trustee? Trustees to act only in the best interests of the charity To be involved in major decisions To take decisions jointly with other trustees Why be a Trustee? There are many different reasons why people become trustees. First, charities need them! Trustees move on, the charity’s need change, and even in an established charity it is good to have the new ideas, new energies, new perspective that new trustees can bring. You should also find it personally highly rewarding and stimulating. You are putting your skills and enthusiasm to good use in a new environment. Who can be a trustee? No one under the age of 18 can be appointed as a trustee, and some people are disqualified by law from acting as charity trustees. This includes: Anyone who has been convicted of an offence involving deception or dishonesty, unless the conviction is spent Anyone who is an undischarged bankruptanyone who has previously been removed from trusteeship or a charity by the court or the Charity Commissioners Anyone who is under a disqualification order under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.

(primarily relating to applications to charitable funders) Fundraising is all about selling a good idea to someone who has the financial means to help make it happen. If you are successful at making your case and selling your idea you will succeed in getting funding and support. There are many components in a successful fundraising approach. For example: a good project, an identifiable need, the impact of the work, the involvement of users and the track record of your organisation are all crucial factors. It is also important to remember the importance of the approach and application process itself. You need to make the most of your opportunity to make a good case, state your need and ask for support. The key ingredients of a good application are: · · · · · · · Your selling points - the importance of the work you do Facts and figures to support your proposal The track record of your organisation A well thought out project plan and budget Evidence that you can carry out the proposed work Good research into potential funders or donors Back up literature and good presentation Who you approach and how you ask ­ by letter, by application form, in person, or over the phone ­ will need sound planning and preparation. The more information you have prepared in advance about your organisation and the project that needs funding, the easier it will be to write applications. You will need to collect information about potential funders as well. Who should you contact? What are their funding policies and guidelines? What is their funding timetable? Make sure that you tailor applications to meet the requirements of particular funders. Remember, funders do not just look at your project and ideas, they also look at the your organisation and its track record.

For example it is particularly important not to unwittingly create a contract of employment or contract of services that place legal obligations on your organisation. The best way to avoid this is to make no payments to your volunteers other than reimbursements of genuine out of pocket expenses. If you want to pay your volunteers even token amounts you should seek advice. To avoid confusion it is a good idea to have a volunteer agreement which covers what you expect from the volunteer and what your organisation is committed to in return. If writing an agreement be careful not to use words associated with employment, such as contract or employment, instead express hopes and expectations not obligations. You may want to get help with writing a Volunteer Agreement or other useful documents such as Volunteer Role Descriptions or a Volunteer Policy. Role Descriptions Volunteer role descriptions are a good idea so that you know what actually needs doing and potential volunteers can see if its the right role for them. A description should include the main duties and details of the role such as your location, as well as necessary skills, experience and personal qualities. It is essential that any role descriptions are not discriminatory, so make sure you have an equal opportunities policy and follow it. Policies A volunteer policy is particularly important, so that your organisations approach and commitment to volunteers is clear. It helps volunteers know what they are there for and how they can expect to be treated. You may wish to use it to refer to other documents that are important to your volunteers, such as a Volunteer Agreement, your Health and Safety and Equal Opportunities Policies, or even a Volunteer Handbook if you have a lot of information to share with volunteers.

Trustees are people who have the general control of a groups administration and management. They may also be known as the board, management committee or directors. Officially this depends upon the legal structure of the group but usually it is the groups preference that determines what they are called. Who can be a Trustee? Most people over the age of 18 can be trustees and the governing document of the group will give the process for recruiting people onto the committee. It will also explain when, if at all, they have to stand down and how they are elected or re-elected. There are some restrictions imposed by charity law. People who are disqualified by law include those who have been convicted of an offence involving dishonesty or deception and undischarged bankrupts. They must also be fit and able to carry out their duties but this does not mean it is impossible to have trustees who may have disadvantages such as a learning difficulty or English not being their preferred language, whose own experience could be very beneficial to the group. In these cases it is important to consider how the meetings and communications can be inclusive. Recruiting Trustees As with all volunteers finding your trustees may prove difficult, depending on your project. Word of mouth is the best way and simply asking people to join (our Recruiting Volunteers information sheet has other suggestions as well), but do try to be as inclusive and diverse as possible. Consider the balance of skills and knowledge on the trustee board. It is important that new trustees are aware of their responsibilities and are given a proper induction.

Developing a project to fit a bid will make it more likely to be funded than trying to make an existing idea fit the funding available. Use an evidence-based approach when answering questions: use your track record, previous projects/contracts, and any evidence you have or can obtain to support your bid. Use quantitative evidence whenever possible, and qualitative evidence if there is no data, from your own and other recognised sources. Technical answers must be explained and supported by good practice. Complete all of the sections of an application form, break down every question into its separate parts and answer these specifically. Follow the instructions you are given in any bid document exactly; provide what is asked for including all of the documentation. Look at the maximum word limit ­ this will give you an indication of the amount of information and detail they are looking for in the answer. Keep to the word / page limits. Do not give appendices they do not ask for. If you are sending documents, list them with the project description if possible.

Fundraising is one of the biggest challenges facing voluntary and community groups. All groups need some money to carry out their services and activities or to fund new projects. So, although youd probably rather be getting on with the `real work of your group and delivering those all important services and activities, you also need to spend some time planning and preparing your fundraising activities so that you can carry on this work well into the future. Planning and Preparing for Fundraising It is important that you spend time planning and preparing for fundraising. Your group needs to have a clear idea about how much money is needed, by when, how itll be raised, and what the funding will be used for. Fundraising can be time-consuming and demanding. It is a good idea to form a fundraising subgroup so that the work load can be shared. Many skills are required for successful fundraising: communication, organisation, enthusiasm, confidence and commitment. Working as a group youll be able to draw on the skills, experiences and ideas of a number of different people. Legal Considerations Before you start applying for money, you will need to consider whether you need any of the following: 1) A written constitution; 2) Registered charity status; 3) A bank account; 4) A steering committee or governing body; 5) Last years annual review and accounts (if applicable) 6) Insurance. It is always good practice to ensure that you offer equality of opportunity and access to all of your services. Is access available to everyone in your community? Some funders will ask to see an equal opportunities policy. 2006 What you need and why Before you approach the funders you need to turn your initial ideas into a project proposal. This doesnt have to be a long process and the written proposal should fit onto one or two typed sides of A4 paper. The proposal should contain the following: · · · · · Evidence - A clear description of the problem, need or issue (with facts, figures or resea "); array_files[131]=new Array(0,4,"./PDF_Docs/Costing%20and%20Full%20Cost%20Recovery.pdf","2007-10-06","102K"," Microsoft Word - Costing and Full Cost Recovery.doc ","","","COSTING AND FULL COST RECOVERY Introduction The financial information available within an organisation is crucial to the ability to govern and manage that organisation. If insufficient or inaccurate information is supplied to those who make decisions then the decisions themselves are likely to be flawed, and this will have an impact upon the success of the organisation. If you are a registered charity the trustees also have a responsibility under SORP to manage their finances effectively to minimise risks. The financial planning for an organisation will be closely linked to the plans and objectives, and should involve key people who have the essential information on what will impact on costs and income. The budgets for the organisation should relate to how the organisation operates ­ that is, to the cost centres or projects. For example, cost centres may include: administration, office, shop, training, or marketing. All the budgets should be brought together by the managers to give a total for the whole organisation which would then need approval by the governing body. If some cost centres are thought to be too high a negotiation of reduction in expenditure may be necessary. It may be helpful to provide other non-financial information to support the figures. As the period for the budget progresses (this is usually quarterly and yearly), the actual expenditure should be monitored against the budget and any deviations noted and either corrected or other appropriate action taken. If such monitoring of actual spend against budget and corrective action is not taken it can lead to a snowball effect with expenditure spiralling out of control. It is usual to have a forecast for the year to date which is revised as actual expenditure changes during the year, as this updates the forecast for total year spend. 2006 Costing your funding applications This also applies to making applications for funding. Each category of expenditure will need its own budget: see the example table below.

In other words: where you are now, where you want to get to, and how you will get to your desired destination. A business plan should address your key long-term objectives and be proactive and clear. The process of producing a business plan is very valuable and the more people you involve in the process the more useful it will be. A Business Plan should cover 2-3 years at least. It does not need to be a complex document, and the length and work involved to produce it should be in proportion to the size and resources of your organisation. The following is a suggested format that is aimed at funders in particular. It is not a prescriptive list but a guide, the details of which will vary according to each organisation and who the plan is aimed at. It should be used to help you think about how your organisation operates and to help you accumulate the essential information that needs to be understood and analysed by you to make decisions. This information is then presented in the plan to clearly show interested parties and people within your organisation who you are, how you operate, and what you intend to do. Such a plan is very useful for funders, stakeholders and financial institutions, and of course your own organisation. The planning process allows managers and members of governing bodies to take time to stand back and assess their working environment, evaluate themselves and their organisation, and anticipate and plan for changes in the future. Your business plan should lead to your funding strategy. Do not make the business plan document too long ­ keep the body of it succinct and within approximately 25 pages. Have an executive summary at beginning, and add appendices to give the detailed information. A business plan should be easy and interesting to read so that people do actually read and understand it! 2007 Remember "); array_files[133]=new Array(0,4,"./PDF_Docs/Applications%20to%20Trusts%20and%20Funds.pdf","2007-10-06","65K"," Microsoft Word - Applications to Trusts and Funds.doc ","","","APPLICATIONS TO TRUSTS AND FUNDS A trust or foundation will often ask for up to 2 sides (sometimes 4 sides) of A4, but may give little other guidance on what information to give them. The following information, therefore, might be helpful to use as a checklist when writing your application. However, always follow the instructions from each trust carefully regarding information to provide, and note their individual aims and criteria. · Get your main points across in the first page if possible, and keep information short and succinct. Stick to the number of pages they specify. Present your letter very well, look `professional ­ printed letterhead, logo, website. Keep simple and attractive, use strapline, include photos. Do not write the same letter or paragraphs to all funders for all things ­ make the information relevant to the particular project and follow the criteria/requirements of the particular funder. Think about the size and type of trust you are writing to. Use positive language and limit buzz words/technical language ­ Say `we will...not `we hope to. If you are uncertain of how you will do something say `we plan to. Be passionate about what you do. If you use technical language briefly explain the meaning. If asking for salary costs or core running costs think carefully how you will build it in ­ sessional costs for salaries or 10-15% for management costs. Many trusts do not fund core costs unless presented in that way as part of a project cost. Before you send it check for any errors or inconsistencies, and ask somebody else to read it through to ensure it makes sense to them!

Everyone enjoys a warm welcome! In last month’s newsletter we promoted the chance for your organisation to participate in The Welcome Pack currently being updated for re-publication using funding from the Local Strategic Partnership. The pack first developed in 2005, was initially to provide newcomers to st1:place w:st=onWest Norfolk with basic information of the services and resources they would be most likely to need when arriving in our community. The devised format would assist not only the newcomer but the support networks that provided advice and assistance. It contained: Who the organisation is (including a brief description of their ‘mission statement/aims and objectives) What they provide (including services, resources, facilities etc) How and when to contact them This time around there will be the added satisfaction of having a document produced in additional languages to meet the needs of newcomers. If you were not involved before we would particularly like to hear about your organisation, we would appreciate any contribution from groups who feel their services and support are not accessed or widely known about by newcomers to the community. Don’t miss out! You can use your translated contribution as additional marketing free! Contact Daisy on 01553 760568 or daisy@westnorfolkvca.org for more information and/or for help to put your information together.

The purpose and activity of the team is to ensure that the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) is fully st1:PersonName w:st=oninformed, engaged and consulted with at both district and county level. This is particularly important in the implementation and development of public services. Over the past few years nearly all st1:country-region w:st=on st1:place w:st=onUK governmental departments have moved away from being the providers of services to becoming the commissioners (buyers in). Therefore, it is important that the VCS is robustly represented in this process and is an integral part of this change. The Partnership team represents the voluntary sector on st1:place w:st=onWest Norfolk’s Local Strategic Partnership’ (LSP), ensuring that the VCS has a strong voice and is involved and consulted on local plans and policies. Local strategic partnerships are non-statutory, multi agency partnerships which follow local authority boundaries; bringing together at local level the different parts of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors. This encourages different initiatives and services to support one another so that they can work together more effectively. They have been set up to ensure that the services provided meet the real needs of the community. Our LSP, which is known as The West Norfolk Partnership (WNP) is made of four individual thematic groups; these are Healthier Communities and Older People, Children and Young People, Economic and the Safer and Stronger Communities Partnership.

We have made every effort to ensure accuracy, but cannot be held responsible for decisions you take based upon our guidance. You are advised to take expert legal advice as appropriate. 1. Why do we need to bother with legal structure? Your organisation needs to have a structure · So that decisions get made, and action taken · For accountability · For democratic reasons · To fulfil its purposes. Many organisations in the Voluntary and Community Sector, particularly small ones, are what is called an unincorporated association, and make their administration as simple and practical as possible. You may choose to do nothing about the issues raised in this factsheet. Even so, in the eyes of the law, the officers of your organisation are deemed to hold personal responsibility for their actions. Signatures on cheques and documents could be shown in a court of law. As an organisation takes on more responsibilities, people start to worry about the burden of responsibility. This is where choosing the appropriate structure becomes important. 2. Possible structures Some of the possible structures are Main features A group of people with a common goal Simple set of rules, or constitution. The Management Committee has overall charge. *Unincorporated association *Company limited by guarantee *Co-operative Community Interest Company Development Trust Individuals are held responsible or liable if anything goes wrong.

It explains who can be one, and how the Company Secretary relates to Company Directors/Trustees 1. Honorary secretary The secretary (can be someone) elected at the Annual General Meeting to deal with the organisations paperwork , or be a company secretary with a range of duties under company law, or be an employee (Voluntary Sector Legal Handbook p. 153). Most voluntary organisations have honorary officers ­ chairperson, treasurer, secretary. These people are usually elected at the Annual General Meeting. They are unpaid, and usually, along with other elected committee members, form the Management Committee, or Board of Trustees (these terms are synonymous). 2. Can Management Committee members/ Trustees be paid ? Management Committee members/ Trustees must not profit or benefit from their work for the organisation/charity in any way unless this is explicitly allowed under the constitution or articles of association. For exceptions, seek Charity Commission advice, or refer to: Charities Act 2006 ­ what trustees need to know (published by Cabinet Office, and Charity Commission 2007. Reimbursement of expenses is allowable. New charities can be set up with a provision in the constitution or articles of association for payment of trustees, so long as it is reasonable. (This is controversial in the sector ­ many believe payment goes against the values we aspire to ­ others believe it is necessary in some circumstances to attract the right kind of person.) 3. Company secretary Where a company is formed, a Company Secretary has to be appointed. This person can be a member of the Management Committee/Board of Directors, or an employee, or the companys accountant or solicitor, or anyone else with suitable administrative skills and experience.

Before rushing in to recruit volunteers, you need to evaluate: · · · How are you going to use the volunteers? Who is going to look after them? What are your volunteers going to do and have you got the facilities to allow all volunteers to be involved? If you are just starting out on your voluntary programme you should spend time thinking about all of the good practice requirements. These will help your organisation to set up a really successful volunteering programme. West Norfolk VCA can help you create a Volunteer Policy for your organisation. We can also undertake criminal Records Bureau checks fro you ­ contact us for more details. Recruitment and Selection Most organisations consider a wide range of advertising methods e.g. posters, word of mouth, local media, along with using the Volunteer Bureau. Existing volunteers are often an excellent way of finding new people. Once a potential volunteer comes forward it is necessary to set up a selection procedure that treats everyone the same. If you decide there is not a role for the interested volunteer, it is all right to say no, but you must take the time to explain to the volunteer why, especially when you are still advertising for volunteers. If you dont advise someone why they were not suitable word could get round that your organisation no longer needs volunteers or even worse doesnt treat volunteers as equals. You may also wish to think about the following: Reasons why people volunteer: · Feeling needed/feeling useful · Having spare time · Wanting to give back/helping others · Gaining experience for employment ­ a means to an end · · · · · Learning new skills Mixing with others/socialising Achieving something and improving self esteem A challenge ­ "); array_files[147]=new Array(0,4,"./PDF_Docs/Factsheet%204%20-%20Constitutions.pdf","2007-10-06","57K"," Factsheet 4 - Constitutions "," "," ","Factsheet/Advice Sheet No. 4 Going for your constitutional? July 2007 Why do we need to have a constitution? What does a constitution look like, and how do I write one? What difference does it make if we decide to register as a charity? This factsheet answers some basic questions about constitutions for voluntary and community groups. (See also Factsheet 1 Getting Formal.) Our thanks are due to Derby VCA and Derby Social Services for granting permission to use material, on how to create your own constitution. Going for your constitutional? 1 First, some definitions Constitution: a document with legal force which lays down the rules for running the organisation (note that, in the case of a Company Limited, the Memorandum and Articles of Association take the place of the constitution) Member: a person who belongs to the organisation, and is able to vote at the Annual General Meeting, and other meetings Registered charity: a group which has registered with the Charity Commission and been given a charity number Trustee: any person responsible for the running of a charity, i.e. an officer or member of the management committee Unregistered group: a group which is not registered as a charity with the Charity Commission 2 Why does your group need to have a constitution? You need to have a constitution a) for smooth running of your group, and b) to satisfy funders, supporters, and the general public The smooth running of your group depends on having: · · · well-understood ways of making proposals, and getting things done a sense that the group is bigger than any one individual democratic processes for choosing people who have power (and responsibility) on behalf of the group · ways of debating issues, and where necessary questioning the officers and holding them accountable You depend on other people in the community supporting your group.

It gives answers to the most commonly asked questions, and useful check lists. 1. Commonly asked questions about Annual General Meetings Question: Do we have to have an Annual General Meeting (AGM)? It is a legal requirement a) if your organisation has company limited status, or b) if your constitution says you should have one. Otherwise it is good practice to have one. Question: Why do we have to have an AGM? As above. But also it is a matter of being open and accountable to the public. The point is that in many charities or clubs the AGM is often the only meeting open to anyone to attend. It is the one chance for the public to see what you are doing ­ how are you fulfilling your aims, what are doing with your money (if you have any!), and so on. Question: what business has to be transacted at the AGM? Usually the constitution will say. In most cases it will be - approving the minutes of last years AGM - receiving the last years accounts - receiving a report on activity from the committee - appointing auditors (if needed) - electing committee members and officers - approving changes to the constitution (if any) - considering resolutions (if any). Question: what do we do if we are a new organisation? If a company limited (i.e. incorporated), you are required to hold an AGM within 18 months of incorporation. Whether or not you are a company, you might want to hold your first AGM in the first few months of the organisations life. This could have the advantages of - publicising the new organisation - serving in effect as a launch meeting - providing an opportunity to hold democratic elections of a committee. Question: how much notice do we have to give when calling an AGM, and who do we have to send nomination papers to? The constitution tells you how much notice to give. Often it is 14 days. For companies, the statutory period of notice is 21 days.

Meetings can be a nuisance and a waste of peoples time. Or they can be well planned, and help the work of your group. This factsheet gives you some pointers towards making meetings useful. 1. What is the meeting for? The first question to ask yourself is, why are we holding a meeting at all? Could we do without ­ eg. by circulating information on paper or by email, or by holding one-to-one meetings with key people instead? Some of the reasons why a meeting is needed could be: · · · · To collect or share information To discuss and gather different viewpoints To make decisions It is a legal requirement (e.g. holding an Annual General Meeting) (See our Factsheet No. 4 on Annual General Meetings) Something to think about ­ social needs Group members often want meetings to be social events. But there is a difference between a social gathering and a meeting. A meeting has an agreed purpose. It also has to have (at least some) formality in the way it proceeds. It is a good idea to meet peoples social needs, but keep this separate from the business of the meeting. You can do this by providing refreshments beforehand and chance to chat, or a break in the middle for chat, and time to go to the toilet or have a smoke. People get disillusioned with meetings if nothing happens as a result. Your meeting should have a purpose. Make sure there is an agenda (a list of topics you need to discuss). People also get fed up, if nothing ever happens. So make sure your meeting ends up with clear agreement who is going to do something, and by when. This is why it is important to keep notes, or minutes, or a record of action points ­ see 5 below. 2. The Agenda The agenda tells people clearly what is being discussed. It is sent out in advance. A good example quoted in Community Start Up (available in WNVCA Library) is given below. Note the timings, which are a helpful addition.
