Label of Love Limited

Report of Trustees/Directors – Year Ending 31[st] August 2023

We believe that God made each individual person in His own image and gave us the potential to know the greatest love you can ever know; literally his “Label of Love”. So, every person, young or old, can hold their head high, and show off the ultimate label that says: “ You are amazing ”. Label of Love is a Christian charity that seeks to take this message to young people in the Hull and surrounding area.

Principally we do this through supporting young people in local primary and secondary schools: we run assemblies, take lessons, and hold workshops and youth events, all based implicitly, and where appropriate explicitly, on the values and impact that the Christian faith has on people. Alongside this we aim to build up their self-confidence, wellbeing and personal health through the medium of the arts. In this we have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when considering how activities will contribute to our overall aims and objectives.

The financial statements included here comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)

1. ACTIVITY, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Here is the range of activities that we have undertaken in the last 12 months.

WORK IN SCHOOLS

We have maintained the work we do with primary and secondary schools, using music, drama, games, discussion and activities to communicate our subject. Over the last 12 months we have delivered lessons, workshops, assemblies and mentoring in several schools across Hull and East Yorkshire: -

We have maintained a strong relationship with South Hunsley School including delivery of a combination of collective worship, a lunchtime club and mentoring sessions.

May 21, 2024

Label of Love has a large portfolio of unique lessons and assemblies, which have been written by our schools’ team. We can present a range of lessons to cover parts of the RE, PSHE and CITIZENSHIP curriculums, as well as offering RE revision sessions for Year 11 pupils. Our aim is to deliver these lessons in a fresh, relevant and interesting way, whilst maintaining an opportunity for the pupils to achieve their learning objectives. As a legacy of the difficulties posed by covid19, we are now able to offer livestreamed sessions as well as face-toface in school and some of our assemblies are available as online videos via YouTube. We also have a series of videos on positive mental health that are designed to give students support at home presenting tools to make you feel better about yourself, manage emotions, stay on track or simply make you smile that are now also available via YouTube.

ARCHBISHOP SENTAMU ACADEMY

The Label of Love team has worked in partnership with the school’s chaplain, Rev Ann Richards to run a series of prayer spaces within the school and has since started holding one-to-one support sessions with pupils.

WORK WITH THE LOCAL EDUCATION PARTNERS

REaction

REaction is an annual tour originally organised by a partnership between the East Riding LEA and the Anglican Diocese of York but now run by Label of Love and Sue Holmes (former RE co-ordinator for East Riding LEA) on a self-funding basis. A charge is made to participating schools to help fund the events, as well as obtaining grant funding where possible. The continuing feedback is very positive, and schools are very receptive to the events.

The aim of REaction is to bridge the gap between local primary and secondary schools. This is achieved by holding a day of workshops based on a theme from the RE curriculum for Y6 primary pupils which gives pupils an opportunity to mix with those from other schools that will be going to the same secondary school in the September. REaction gives pupils the opportunity to explore aspects of the Christian faith in a creative and accessible way.

This year’s events were based on a theme of Pilgrimage. Different workshops explored different elements of a pilgrimage with its highs and lows through first-hand accounts. Pupils looked at transition and embracing change through the eyes of people of faith.

They also looking at history to understand how the actions of pilgrims in the past can impact our lives today as well as looking forward and asking if pilgrimage is still relevant to us in the modern world.

REaction 2

REaction2 is now a key part of the team’s year. It is for year 2 & 3 primary pupils using the same successful format as REaction. Its aim is to give pupils an opportunity to explore aspects of the Christian faith in a secure environment, using creative mediums to communicate the subject. One of this year’s events was designed around a theme of ‘Justice and Freedom’ looking at both its meaning and its impact on us today. A series of workshops including social action and drama posed the question ‘ can one person make a

difference to issues of social justice and global inequality?’ and looked at the power of forgiveness and reconciliation on both a personal and global level. Students also spent time reflecting on freedom and what that means for individuals, both those with and without faith.

The other event was designed as a Festival of Light. Through music, drama and crafts, pupils learned about the Jewish festival of Hanukkah as well as learning about the symbolism of Christingles and having a go at making their own.

REaction4

Reaction4 events this year was based around the theme of ‘Faces of Easter’ exploring how different people respond to Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. This included looking at what difference has the resurrection made to Christian believers? And asking what impact has the church had globally since the life of Jesus?

OTHER WORK OF LABEL OF LOVE

YOUTHWORK

Hunsley Christian Youth Trust (HCYT)

Label of Love have continued in partnership with HCYT to deliver mentoring sessions in both group and 1-1 formats, assemblies and a lunchtime club in South Hunsley school.

Beverley Schools Christian Trust (BSCT)

Label of Love have continued to work in partnership with BSCT this year working together to offer ‘Prayer Space’ in Eastrington primary school. This is a lunchtime club that aims to give children a safe and imaginative space to explore how they are feeling, how others might be feeling and how they can connect with God. Using different themes, such as Hope, Friendship and Forgiveness, it offers creative ways for them to think, create and pray.

2. FINANCES & GOVERNANCE

INCOME AND FUNDING

Although total income has fallen this year, donations have increased compared to last year. Activity income from REaction and contracted income have risen compared last year, although schools work has dried up for now and there has been no grant income this year.

EXPENDITURE

Total expenditure has fallen again compared to the previous year. This is due primarily to a reduction in salary costs. The team are to be congratulated on maintaining their cost control.

GOVERNANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL

The Trustees/Directors continue to meet regularly to review and input into the work of Label of Love and receive a monthly overview of finances alongside the Project Manager’s report and a staff member report. Cash flow is reviewed in more detail twice a year and particularly two months before the end of the financial year, when a budget for the next year is agreed based on current costs and income levels.

There is also a regular focus on processes and policies including an annual review of DBS checks – the trustees are grateful that the secretary has now been trained to manage this side of the work alongside the team.

APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES

The minimum number of trustees is three. The original trustees were the persons notified to Companies House as the first directors of the charity. Subsequently, trustees have been appointed by the annual general meeting in accordance with the regulations laid down in the Articles of Association.

New trustees are given a Trustee Induction Pack and description of responsibilities and are invited to meet with trustees, employees and volunteers.

A skills audit of the trustees is held from time to time, and when filling vacancies every effort is made to have regard for specialist skills that might be needed.

None of the trustees receives remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any conflicts of interest must be disclosed.

LABEL OF LOVE AS “GOING CONCERN”

Despite financial challenges across the whole third sector, Label of Love can demonstrate that it has been, and continues to be, managed in a financially sound way.

Notes on the accounts – YEAR ENDED 31[st] AUGUST 2023

Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Label of Love meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees are not aware of any issues that would prevent this basis being used

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

d) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity heading:

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of educational activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

e) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Annual Report 2022-23

13

May 21, 2024

f) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

g) Financial instruments

The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

h) Pensions

Pensions are offered to the employees of the company through the Governments NEST scheme.

Legal status of the Charity

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
