Volunteers’ Week is an annual event which takes place at the start of June. It celebrates the contribution made by millions of volunteers across the UK.

There are an estimated 59,192 formal volunteers in Devon

who donate 118,384 hours a week and a £74 million

annual contribution according to our latest Sector Report

(available at www.devonva.org/sector_facts).

Some of those 59,192 formal volunteers support DeVA and its Partners, so we would like to say ‘thank

you’ to all our existing and former volunteers. Without your time and dedication we would not be

able to support other voluntary groups to build vibrant and healthy communities.

DeVA Partners hosted a number of events around the county to celebrate all those volunteers

including:

DeVA Partners have been busy this quarter celebrating Volunteers’ Week and supporting Small Charities Week.

West Devon CVS hosted a Volunteers Tea at Lydford Gorge to say thank you to the many volunteers supporting projects and organisations across West Devon. Volunteers enjoyed a great day and were lucky enough to have the sun come out too!

to celebrate the work that our volunteers do

in the North Devon district area, and to say

thank you to them for all that they do.

Small Charities Week ran from 13 to 18 June, celebrating and raising awareness of the essential work of the UK’s small charity sector that make an invaluable contribution to the lives of millions of individuals, communities and causes across the UK and the rest of the world.

Tuesday 14 June was Big Advice Day and DeVA Partners offered free advice consultations on a range of subjects to assist the running of a small charity. The sessions were available across the county and saw small charities accessing expert advice. The main topics of advice given were around identifying funding streams, developing a fundraising strategy, bid writing, accredited training for staff, volunteer training and social media marketing. If you weren’t able to make it to one of the sessions– don’t forget we can still help! Contact us on support@devonva.org or via your local partner (details are on the back cover).

5 EU Referendum:

uncertainty but potential opportunity We couldn’t not mention the biggest news story - even though

there is very little we can say as fact at this moment.

Following the EU Referendum, we are entering an

unprecedented period of political change in this country and

the voluntary and community sector will still have a big part to

play in everyday life.

The uncertainty of what the it means for the sector (and country) is clear but should also now be seen

as an opportunity to be part of shaping the future. Which ever way you voted, the result can’t be

changed. The voluntary and community sector is remarkably resilient and vibrant and this is not about

to change anytime soon.

Sector response so far National sector figures have responded to the result. ACEVO Chief Executive Asheem Singh said “The

British people have spoken and it is now mission critical that we come together to ensure a fair

outcome for all.”

Elsewhere Sir Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive of NCVO, addressed those working in the sector by

saying “Britain is facing political and economic unrest for months if not years to come. Your support

and advocacy for the people and causes you work for will be essential in this climate.”

For a round up from across the sector see https://voluntarynews.org.uk/news/2016/06/impact-of-

referendum-vote-on-the-charity-sector/ which has links to briefings and statements from the sector.

National political fallout Political leadership nationally seems to have taken a beating. Teresa May has been appointed as the

new Prime Minister making sweeping changes to the cabinet and at the time of going to press, the

Opposition Leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is facing a leadership contest following a vote of no confidence.

Anna Turley MP and Shadow Minister for Civil Society is just one of the 30 members of the shadow

cabinet to resign in the days after the referendum result.

Change brings opportunity So while we find ourselves having to ‘wait and see’ what is going to happen, it is also a time we can

use positively looking for new and innovative ways to not only deliver our valuable services but also in

the way we approach funding it.

Why not use our self assessment ‘Organisational Health Check’

to assist you in identifying areas for potential improvement

which is available to download at www.devonva.org/

here to support you and your organisational development.

6 National honours

On The Queen’s Official Birthday and at New Year, the country formally recognises people who have done extraordinary things. The honours system, which exists to recognise and celebrate outstanding achievements, is open to individuals from all walks of life but they first have to be nominated by someone who knows what they have achieved. Nominations are particularly welcomed for ‘local heroes’ who are well respected by local people and who have made a difference in their neighbourhood. Over half of all awards go to people who are putting something extra into their community on a voluntary basis. These days, it is all quite straightforward and nominations can be made by anyone at any time. Nominations for honours are treated in the strictest confidence. The person to be nominated should not be told as it would not be fair to raise expectations in case they are not met. Many more nominations are received than the 1,350 honours awarded on each occasion, twice a year. Nominations can be made online and will need at least two letters of support and should be from people who have personal knowledge of the nominee and their achievements.

2016 New Year Honours Jeremy Grammer was awarded an MBE for his voluntary work as a Teignmouth Harbour Commissioner, for the last twelve years as Chairman of the Commission entrusted with ensuring the survival of the Port and Harbour of Teignmouth for the enjoyment and benefit of all its users.

He worked ceaselessly through some difficult times providing leadership, understanding and foresight and has been a great ambassador for Teignmouth and the river Teign. Teignmouth’s success as a port and a popular leisure location is a direct result of his understanding of others and a desire to help them fulfil those needs.

You can nominate someone by completing a nomination form at www.honours.gov.uk or write to Honours and Appointments Secretariat, Cabinet Office, Ground Floor, 1 Horse Guards Road, London SW1A 2HQ or call 0207 276 2777. For local help and guidance, please call the Devon Lieutenancy Office on 01392 383042.

If you are thinking about making a nomination, the accompanying guidance notes are very helpful and there is a useful document called ‘Honours—How to Write Citations’ which sets out how a person’s achievements should be described. Both are available on at www.honours.gov.uk. Nominations can be made at any time but it is likely to take at least 12 to 18 months to consider them. Nominations should be made while the person nominated is still active and, if possible, at least 12 months before he or she is expected to retire or stand down, if that is relevant. Nominations are assessed by one of nine specialist sub-committees, all independently chaired. Local experts are sometimes asked to help as well. These evaluations are then passed to the main honours committee, chaired by the Secretary of the Cabinet. Names, with the recommended level of honour, are then put forward to The Queen. If, after two years, you have heard nothing, you

can assume that the nomination has been

unsuccessful and has lapsed. It is open for you

to re-nominate but this is not likely to be

successful unless the person you have

nominated has had additional achievements.

Volunteer Connect Devon turns one!

Twelve months ago we launched Volunteer Connect Devon, our online dedicated volunteer

recruitment system for volunteer roles in Devon only with a firm focus on local roles, and since then it

has gone from strength to strength.

The system is easy and quick to use, enabling you to advertise your volunteer roles, and manage and

track volunteers who've registered interest. You can also login and proactively search our volunteer

bank for volunteers who meet your requirements.

If you are not already advertising roles with us, its a free service and you can sign up and get started

online. For more information just click:

www.devonva.org/volunteer_connect_devon

Here are a few pointers for adding or amending a role:

1. Make sure the description of the role in the short description box is, in fact, short, pithy and

interesting (you will realise if the description is too long in this box as the computer will stop typing

after the limit of 500 characters or letters is reached)

2. Check the contact name and details are correct for that role

3. Always include an e-mail address for the role

4. Ensure the address and postcode of the role is correct. The postcode is needed for volunteers to

find your role

5. Highlight all the skills required

6. Tick any age restrictions

7. Highlight all the relevant activities covered in the role

All this is important and for a good reason - to make it easy for a potential volunteer to find your role!

If you wish to view the details of an interested volunteer please go to that specific role and there you

will find suitable volunteer names and the names of volunteers who have registered an interest in the

role. Click on their name to view the profile and to message them. We are unable to give volunteer

details out directly.

The boxes that are asterisked must be ticked in order for the role to be approved; these points are

there to protect you as a volunteer-involving organisation as well as the volunteer.

We look forward to supporting you in finding volunteers through Volunteer Connect!

8 TV Licensing reminder to community groups in Devon ahead of Olympic screenings

If a space at a local community centre is rented out to a group, then it is the responsibility of the centre owner or manager, who gives permission for the group to watch a TV on the site, to make sure the centre is correctly licensed. If the property is owned or managed by a community group, then responsibility lies with the group to make sure they are watching legally. TV Licensing enquiry officers will be visiting unlicensed clubs, sports halls and community centres throughout the summer. Any group found watching TV illegally risks a court prosecution and fine of up to £1,000 per offence, plus costs. Last year TV Licensing enquiry officers visited more than 30,000 unlicensed businesses across the UK, ranging from takeaway restaurants and holiday parks to garages, hair salons and sports clubs, to ensure they were correctly licensed. Ethnic minority community organisations, or those with members who speak English as a second language, can download information in more than 16 languages from the TV Licensing website at: tvlicensing.co.uk/communityinfo.

With more than 3,000 hours of live sporting action from Rio this summer, TV Licensing is reminding community groups and charities in Devon to check they are correctly licensed to share the spectacular sporting TV coverage as it happens. Considerable numbers of community groups, sporting and social clubs are expected to host viewing events and parties, where they are set to enjoy landmark Olympic moments at community groups and centres across Devon. BBC One's coverage kicks off featuring the Opening Ceremony on 5 August, with live action each day from 1pm to 4am until the Closing Ceremony on 21 August. On BBC Four, live action will be available every day from 1pm to 4am. TV Licensing has produced a Guide for Community Groups, which answers common questions asked by groups and includes information about holding one-off live viewing events and refunds. Community groups can view or download the “Guide for Community Groups” at tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/business-and-organisations/clubs-and-community-groups-aud10. Richard Chapman, spokesperson for TV Licensing South West, said: “Community groups will need to buy a TV Licence if they plan to watch the coverage live but can claim a refund for any unused quarters if they only need a licence for this one-off sporting event. “Social and community group managers have been prosecuted in Magistrates’ courts in the past year. We would always rather people pay for their TV Licence than risk an embarrassing prosecution and fine of up to £1,000.” Karen Nolan, Programme Manager at Devon Voluntary Action, said: “The Olympics is a great opportunity for local voluntary groups to connect with their communities through events and TV screenings of the action from Rio. It's going to be a great summer of sport so if you are thinking about hosting an event, it is important to ensure you are prepared and thought about TV licensing as part of your planning.”

Voluntary sector integral to

health and care

The largest ever review of the voluntary sector

and its involvement in the statutory health and

social care reports that charities and social

enterprises should be involved at every level. The

review, published on 19 May 2016, was a joint

review by the Department of Health, Public

Health England and NHS England.

The review has recommendations for

commissioners, councils and hospitals as well as

for the voluntary and community sector which

include:

Adopting a ‘simplest by default’ approach

to procurement practice to reduce complex

contracting

Greater focus should be put on promoting

wellbeing and helping people to live well at

home by working more closely with

voluntary groups within communities

Funding for voluntary groups should be

transparent, long term with great emphasis

on social value (see our guest blog on page

14 for a look at social value in more detail)

Local strategic plans should be based on

engagement with local communities

including voluntary sector groups

Statutory guidance for Clinical

Commissioning Groups should be revised to

emphasise the need for them to work with

voluntary sector to meet their duties under

the Health and Social Care Act

Future NHS transformation programmes

should only be approved if they include

plans to involve voluntary sector in strategic

decision making and service delivery.

Devon Joint Strategic Needs Assessment area profiles

released New area profiles for communities in Devon have been released as part of the Devon Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). The aim of the JSNA is to collaboratively identify current and future health and wellbeing needs to inform future service planning and delivery. The JSNA underpins the work of the Devon Health and Wellbeing Board. These profiles contain a range of health, care and wellbeing related data for specific communities and areas within Devon, and provide a detailed overview of current need and service activity at a local level, including local, regional and national comparisons and trends over time. Contents include population structure, deprivation, children and young people, educational attainment, benefit claimant levels, fuel poverty, estimates of health-related behaviour and mental ill health, usage of health services, life expectancy and social care. They can also be viewed as Local Authority Areas, Towns, and Electoral Divisions. www.devonhealthandwellbeing.org.uk/jsna/profiles Further to this a deprivation report has been completed which compares the indicators in the JSNA profiles according to levels of deprivation locally, revealing the impact of deprivation on health and wellbeing, and highlighting how these patterns are changing over time.

New online annual return for charities The Charity Commission has released the latest annual return for charities to complete - online for the first time. As part of the Charity Commission’s commitment to becoming a truly digital by default regulator, all registered charities with an income of more than £10,000 and all Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) reporting on their financial years ending in 2016 must complete the online form within 10 months of the end of their financial year. Sections of the data then populate the commission’s online public register of charities, which is a key source of data about charities in England and Wales. If you need to view or amend details about a charity’s trustees or contact information, this is now separate from the annual return and should make it easier to update details at any time.

New Confirmation Statement to submit to Companies House

From 30 June 2016, charities that are also companies will need to submit a Confirmation Statement instead of an Annual Return as a means of providing up to date information to Companies House. It is an offence not to file a confirmation statement (even for a dormant company) within 14 days of the end of the relevant review period. The change will have very minimal impact on the details charity companies will need to provide, more information is available on the Government website: companieshouse.blog.gov.uk/2016/05/27/changes-that-affect-you-confirmation-statement/

12 Fundraising Regulator poised to take over this summer

As the Fundraising Regulator prepares to take over the regulation of fundraising within weeks, they

have launched its new website and unveiled the logo that charities once registered with the body

will be able to use on their fundraising materials. Stephen Dunmore, Chief Executive, said "The new

regulator will be the face of high fundraising standards and effective regulation. Our branding and

website are a key first step in establishing that identity with the public and with the charities we will

regulate.”

Logo:

The logo, which consists of its initials in a

circle, was a "clear and straightforward

design that reflects the way we intend to

work with all of our stakeholders"

according to the new Regulator.

Website: www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk

As the main parts of the new regulatory framework are finalised over the summer, the website

content will be developed alongside it. This will include the adjudication procedure for public

complaints, the registration and levy process for charities and the Fundraising Preference Service as

well as publishing a list of all charities that actually registers with it.

Staff: As well as Stephen Dunmore as Chief Executive, the regulator has appointed six interim staff and is

expected to have between 15 and 20 when it is fully operational. This includes Stephen Service,

policy adviser, who has been seconded from the Public Fundraising Association and Daisy Houghton,

who has been seconded from the Charity Commission and previously worked for the Big Lottery

Fund. All staff members and their profiles are available on the new website.

Start-up Costs for Regulator: The top 50 charities have been asked to contribute £15,000 towards the regulator’s start-up costs.

This has not been a smooth process. Currently only one, the Tate, has refused, while some are

openly undecided and expressing concerns over the payment such as the Salvation Army and RNIB.

38 organisations however have agreed to the start-up costs, including Cancer Research UK, the

NSPCC, British Heart Foundation and Oxfam.

The new version of the guidance “Charity Fundraising: a guide to trustee duties” (CC20) aims to be as

clear as possible. It explains what trustees need to do to comply with the law relating to the

management and control of their fundraising through the six key fundraising principles depicted

below.

It also highlights the relationship between trustees and fundraisers, which can often be improved with

better understanding of each other’s role. Trustees should be providing appropriate oversight and be

bold in their challenge of fundraising activities which will ultimately benefit the organisation in the

long term.

14 What is Social Value?

Social Value is a hot topic at the moment. Here we consider what Social Value is and how

organisations can embrace it.

A recent study (31 May 2016) published by Social Enterprise UK looks at how councils in England are

using the Public Services (Social Value) Act and claims one in three councils now consider social value

in commissioning services and one in four have a social value policy.

It also shows that one in five councils are still operating without a social value policy and are

‘bystanders’ when it comes to social value. The report entitled ’Procuring for Good’ is available to

read at:

www.socialenterprise.org.uk/news/one-three-councils-now-consider-social-value-commissioning-

says-new-report

Locally, Devon County Council is keenly

embracing social value in its procurement process

and co-facilitated our workshops in May on Public

Sector Procurement with South West Forum.

Following this we asked Stephen Woolett, Chief

Executive at South West Forum, to share his

views on Social Value and some top tips for

organisations to consider when demonstrating

their Social Value.

Name: Stephen Woolett Organisation: Chief Executive at

South West Forum

“Social value” is now a common phrase in the language of commissioning and procurement.

Commissioners want those bidding for contracts to offer it, organisations are being exhorted to

demonstrate it and there is growing pressure for it to be measured. But what does it really mean?

Well, first there is legislation. The Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 legally requires public bodies to consider taking into account social value in the procurement of goods and services. That’s pretty well the limit of what the Act actually states. So there is plenty of scope for local authorities, Clinical Commissioning Groups and other public bodies to develop their own interpretations and policies.

That variation and lack of consistency is both a challenge and an opportunity – but it does mean that those bidding for services cannot take a “one size fits all” approach.

11 G

UEST B

LOG

15

It’s worth being aware that “added value” tends to refer to the

additional benefits that accrue to the commissioning authority

itself, again outside the explicit requirements of the

procurement specification.

So, for example, the way you intend to provide your service

might bring savings in another department – or perhaps you

can use your service to promote another service delivered by

the authority.

You will find that invitations to tender (ITTs) and other procurement processes increasingly require

bidders to describe the social value their proposal can offer. There may be a specific scored question

on social value. In fact the quality of your answer(s) on social value could mean the difference between

winning and losing a contract. Delivering social value is no longer simply desirable – it is now essential.

So my top social value tips for social purpose organisations are:

Think creatively and laterally about the social value you can offer.

Engage users and other stakeholders in this thinking.

Think how social value can be measured – and not just financially.

Think how you would record and monitor the social value you

deliver.

Work out how to demonstrate your social value and impact for

the whole organisation – not just for specific contracts.

Recognise that social value is not an automatic win for the social

purpose sector – businesses are becoming increasingly

sophisticated in demonstrating their social value.

Take advantage of the support and resources available from www.southwestforum.org.uk and others including Devon Voluntary Action (www.devonva.org/procurement).

Most now describe social value as the additional benefits

that accrue to society as a whole and/or particular

communities and individuals outside the explicit

requirements of a procurement specification.

So, for example, if you are using and paying for village halls

as the base for your service you are generating social value by helping to sustain a community building

through your hire fees. Or perhaps you are training volunteers to provide an advice service and in so

doing you are generating social value by building their skills and preparedness for employment.

Government Definition:

Social value seeks to maximise the additional benefit that can be created by procuring

or commissioning services, above and beyond the benefit of merely the services themselves.
