One Community News For many April is the start of a New Year and One Community is no exception, only this April we start with a new Chairman Adrian Hughes (pictured below right). One Community would formally like to thank Prof Sri Kandiah (pictured below left) for all his service this past 19 years and hope he enjoys the new ventures he has planned.
April is also a time to think about your end of year accounts and SORP. If you are struggling do contact us, it is easier to help now while all those invoices are readily available, than later when being chased by the Charity Commission. The One Community team has lots of new ideas and new initiatives coming up and would like you to tell us what your plans are; maybe there are some joint schemes we can work together on. As always Network (this newsletter) and our website will include all our news www.1community.org.uk Our services do change from time to time, especially for those needing one to one support. For example our re-launched Options service allows you to move between Day Care, Care and Respite and Domestic Support with ease. Let us talk you through your choices. If you or your community group would like to know more about the range of help available, please contact Hayley Malcolm on 023 8090 2416 or email hmalcolm@1community.org.uk and she will happily come out and talk you through our services.

Green Tips There are a few things we can all do to have a positive impact on the planet, to avoid waste, conserve resources and fight climate change. Here’s our monthly tip from our environmental friend: Sowing and Planting for a Bee Friendly Garden
At this time of year many of us are busy sowing seeds and putting plants in our gardens, balconies and window boxes. While you are doing this it’s worth thinking about plants that will attract bees and other pollinators into your growing space. There are declining numbers of these pollinators and we depend on them for healthy harvests and the food we eat. To encourage bees, consider the kinds of flowers most likely to attract them. Many seeds and plants are now labelled to say they are beneficial to bees and other pollinators for their nectar and pollen. Honey bees collect nectar from a wide variety of flowers, but many wild bees prefer native flowers some of which might be regarded as weeds. It’s a good idea to have a wide selection. Pollinators are attracted by both colour and fragrance, and another consideration is having plants that bloom for a long time, and a succession of flowering plants that will feed the bees over many months. Having plenty of pollinators will help you, with growing your flowers, fruit and veg, and of course growing your own food means nutritious meals and fewer food miles. Happy gardening!

Supporting Equality in Hampshire Here’s a report on a piece of collaborative work undertaken by the Hampshire CVS Network, of which One Community is part. When you are discriminated against or treated unfairly, it can be difficult to know how to proceed. Characteristics including age, sexual orientation, religion, and more are currently protected under UK law. Nevertheless, if you experience discrimination in the workplace or in wider society, you may be concerned that you will not be taken seriously or that you will face further adversity for raising the issue. You may feel uncertain not just about whether to speak up, but who to speak to. Hampshire CVS Network will make this process more straightforward and comfortable for Hampshire residents with their online Supporting Equality Directory https:// www.hampshirecvs.org.uk/supportingequality/ Under the 2010 Equality Act, it is illegal to
discriminate against anyone because of age, gender reassignment, being married or in a civil partnership, being pregnant or on maternity leave, disability, race (including colour, ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. These are known as Protected Characteristics. The Supporting Equality Directory is designed to help you identify support in your area if you face discrimination or unfair treatment against a protected characteristic. The Directory features a digital search tool so that you can easily find the local services that are best placed to help you. One example could be a person living or working in Eastleigh who has faced discrimination relating to Gender Reassignment. The directory search will return details of support services in and around Eastleigh. Results will range from local authorities to local groups who support transgender, transsexual, and gender non-conforming people. Likewise, if you search for support after unfair treatment based on disability in Fareham, you can connect to services within the Borough Council or choose from services offered by local disability groups and charities. This means that you can select the support service you are most comfortable with. The Supporting Equality Directory is live now on the Hampshire CVS Network website. Hampshire CVS Network is an alliance of nine Hampshire based CVS organisations who help Hampshire’s charity and voluntary sector to succeed and flourish. Originally known as Councils for Voluntary Services, CVSs offer support and advice to community and voluntary groups. They also deliver a variety of services for local residents across Hampshire. For further information, take a look on the Hampshire CVS Network website at https:// www.hampshirecvs.org.uk/.

Governance Guidance Governance Guidance If you are an Organiser or a Committee Member then you are most likely a Trustee for your organisation and you should be aware of your responsibilities and requirements. At One Community we realise the complexities of your roles and this regular column is designed to support you with this. “Trustees have overall control of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do. They may be known by other titles, such as: Directors, Board Members, Governors, Committee Members. Whatever they are called, trustees are the people who lead the charity and decide how it is run. Being a trustee means making decisions that will impact on people’s lives. Depending on what the charity does, you will be making a difference to your local community or to society as a whole. Trustees use their skills and experience to support their charities, helping them achieve their aims. Trustees also often learn new skills during their time on the board.” From: Charity Commission /Charity trustee: what’s involved (CC3a)/: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/charity-trustee-whatsinvolved#find-out-more-about-being-a-trustee We are here to help At One Community, we are always happy to offer direct, specific support and advice to you and your organisation, whenever you need it. Please contact Carol Grant (pictured), our Community Development Manager on 023 8090 2460 cgrant@1community.org.uk with any queries about being a Trustee or governance issues such as constitutions, policies, safeguarding, funding. Be confident that if we don’t know the answers, we’ll know someone who does! Topic this month: Six Ways to Protect Your Charity’s Reputation
ONE COMMUNITY NETWORK: PAGE 6
6 ways to protect your charity's reputation
Kids Company, RSPCA, Oxfam. We can all think of scandals and governance issues that have rocked the charitable sector. Whether the fatal financial mismanagement of Kids Company in 2015, the Charity Commission issuing warnings to the RSPCA to improve its decision making; or the massively damaging safeguarding and exploitation scandal which engulfed Oxfam and Save the Children in 2017, all such instances serve to highlight the importance of strong governance across the charity sector. David Holdsworth, Deputy Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, has said that “Good governance in charities is not an optional extra, or a bureaucratic detail” but essential for delivering a charity’s purpose to the high standards expected by the public. Failure to demonstrate effective governance results in public confidence being undermined; a concern that the Commission takes very seriously. Trustees and management must prioritise governance and focus heavily on risk management, not just in relation to its financial health but to all elements of the charity, including protecting its reputation. Reputation is key to maintaining public confidence and endorsement – the sector is so competitive that it may only take a small knock for donors and fundraisers to turn elsewhere. But with significant legal responsibilities and a momentous amount of compliance required by the Commission covering money, tax, fundraising, safeguarding, managing staff and volunteers, to name
Governance Guidance/Information but a few areas, there is a lot of information for trustees to absorb. How can they, bearing in mind the role of trustee is voluntary and unpaid, keep on top of it all, to ensure strong governance and avoid Charity Commission censure? Compliance is key to both maximising success and maintaining a healthy reputation. Here are some of the issues that trustee boards should consider on an annual basis. 1. Conflict of interest – Often seen as a ‘tick-box’ exercise, trustees should remind themselves how important avoiding conflicts are to maintaining public trust. Trustees should ensure an appropriate policy is in place, annually review and update the trustee register of interests, as well as ensure declarations are made at each meeting, if necessary. Trustees should further consider that even where conflicts may be lawful, they may still damage reputation. 2. Financial control framework – Trustees should regularly review their charity’s internal controls to ensure appropriate segregation of financial responsibilities. We recommend that trustees carry out an annual review using the Charity Commission’s CC8 form Internal Financial Controls for charities. 3. Serious incident reporting – Ensure that the board (and management) is familiar with serious incident reporting requirements: the types of reportable incident; what should be reported, how and when. 4. Fundraising – This seems obvious, but it is surprising how many trustee boards delegate this crucial area entirely to their management team. Trustees should be reminded that they have overall responsibility and accountability for fundraising and the Commission expects them to exercise diligent oversight of this function. Charity fundraising: A guide to trustee duties is a useful Commission guide that all trustees should be familiar with. 5. Resilience – In assessing ongoing resilience and risks, such as the effect of the current economic and social climate and the effectiveness of fraud safeguards, the board should consider the questions contained in the guidance: Charity governance, finance and resilience: 15 questions trustees should ask. 6. Safeguarding – This is of particular concern to charities working with children and vulnerable people. The Commission expects trustees of any such charities to carry out a thorough safeguarding review at least annually which should look at policies and procedures,
training and culture within the charity. 10 actions trustee boards need to take to ensure good safeguarding governance sets out the principles that all charities should adhere to. In summary, the responsibilities of trustees are complex and can be overwhelming. But devising an annual agenda and work plan can help ensure all the required compliance matters are considered ahead of time. In addition, a debate is brewing on whether trustees should be paid for their time. Although there are many competing arguments against payment, the argument for it as an acknowledgement of the sheer amount of compliance now expected of charity boards and the risks that must be managed, is a strong one and a formal consultation on this issue is surely only a matter of time.

Government confirms charity shops can sell CE marked goods after “no deal” Brexit The Government has confirmed that charity shops will still be able to sell goods with the Conformité Européene (CE) marking after Brexit if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. Previously, the Government had stated that in the case of a “no deal” Brexit, the requirements for placing certain products on the UK and EU markets, including the arrangements for conformity assessment, marking and labelling, would change. Earlier this year, the Charity Retail Association wrote to Greg Clarke, Secretary of State at BEIS highlighting the problems and possible costs to charity shops of such a change - charity shops are likely to receive CE marked donations from donors for some years after Brexit, and some charities buy in a small amount of stock to ensure stock certainty in their shops, which means there may be a backlog of new items bearing the CE mark at the time of the exit date. The Charity Retail Association therefore asked the Government to take steps to protect trade in second-hand goods by charity shops in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, by: making sure that charity shops were not required to change the labelling on goods ONE COMMUNITY NETWORK: PAGE 7
Information bearing the CE mark after Brexit, which would be a costly exercise,
allowing CE marked items to be sold by charity shops whenever they were donated after a “no deal” Brexit, and
granting as lengthy a “grace period” as possible for charity shops to make provisions for the changes.
The Government has now responded to a written question by Toby Perkins, MP for Chesterfield, and confirmed that: “In the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, the Government is taking the decision to adopt a continuity approach in some areas, such as CE marked products, and continue to recognise CE marking as now. This means that charity retailers and other second-hand retailers can continue to place second hand goods with CE marking on the UK market, as before, for a time-limited period. There will be no need to reassess or re-mark goods, thereby minimising costs to business and consumers. As products that meet EU requirements can continue to be placed on the UK market without any need for reassessment or re-marking, CE marked products will therefore not be required to be remarked with a UK Marking. This includes second hand products.” The Government has also committed to consulting with charity retailers before taking any decision to end the period of recognition of the CE marking. More information on the future arrangements for the regulation of many goods covered in a “no deal” situation can be found in the Government’s guidance “Trading goods regulated under the ‘New Approach’ if there’s no Brexit deal”.

Giving World Launches New Website The charity Giving World provides the opportunity for those in struggling circumstances to access goods donated by businesses and public sector organisations free of charge. Giving World has launched a brand new website to make it even easier for charities and other not-for-profit organisations to receive free resources, courtesy of businesses donating their surplus stocks. Giving World receives goods from businesses all over the country, and advertises the items on the website for charities to request to help pass on to their beneficiaries. The focus of the launch is to pack the website with news and features, while making it even simpler
Information to receive goods such as clothing, toiletries, books, toys and cleaning supplies for the people you support. The only requirement is that the charities and community groups register at www.givingworld.org.uk There is an option to request products that would truly help the local community, completely free of charge. Community Clusters Project In the interest of making goods even more accessible to organisations, in order to tackle deprivation in our communities, a new initiative enables them to share the transport costs with other charities within reach of their location. The Community Clusters campaign links three to five organisations in a cluster. They can all request within a three day time frame and share the cost of a pallet of goods between them. This means you could save up to 80% on transport costs when requesting free goods from the website. To express interest in the Community Clusters project or to find out more information on the new campaign, please go on to https:// www.givingworld.org.uk/community-clusters/

New £200M Youth Fund The government has appointed charitable foundation Impetus to manage a £200m fund designed to help tackle youth violence. Its Youth Endowment Fund will be delivered over 10 years and support both proven interventions as well as innovative new approaches. The fund will be run by Impetus in partnership with the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business. In addition to the £200m injection, Impetus will work with other funders to seek to grow the fund to a potential £300m through donations and investments. The fund will be used to evaluate the impact of interventions so that the most effective ones can be scaled up and delivered more widely. It will support programmes and community partnerships working with children at risk of being drawn into crime and violence. Impetus plans to launch the first funding round, a general open call, soon with the aim of awarding the first grants in the autumn. Further information here
