## **OUR BENEFICIARIES** 

**We target 16-19-year-old girls from low-income families and Orthodox Jewish communities.** 

**They face barriers to education and training opportunities or social and extracurricular activities. This is due to:** 

**a)Cultural requirements such as their need for separate gender activities, b)A hesitance to reach out to mainstream opportunities because of other, less defined, cultural barriers, c)The low self-esteem, little confidence, low motivation, and lack of empowerment and aspirations they suffer from as a direct result of their economic and social disadvantage outlined above. They therefore do not attend mainstream leisure, training, and intoemployment opportunities and as a result, remain locked into the cycle of poverty and social exclusion.**

## **HIGHLIGHTS** 

This year has seen us increase our emphasis on physical and mental health provision, to the delight of parents, carers and young people. 

## **HELP FOR THE HARD HIT** 

With our in-house licensed therapist and counsellor, we have been able to make mental health ultra-accessible this year. The availability of this provision has removed the stigma of reaching out for help, ensuring that even the most self-conscious teen has been able to access support in time of need. In addition, the Mental Health Workshops have given everybody the tools and skills to help themselves stay upbeat and emotionally resilient through life’s ups and downs. 

## **WALKING IS WONDERFUL** 

With the support of London Marathon Foundation and TFL we have introduced a three-year walking project, inspiring and supporting young people to embed the incredible physical and mental health benefits of walking into their lives. 

**Accounts & Report 2023- 2024** 



## **HIGHLIGHTS** 

## **FOOD FOR FUEL** 

This year we’ve taken our Food for Fuel program up a notch by securing ongoing funding. We are delighted to have been able to provide our young people with consistent healthy lunch meals throughout the year. 

This has been reflected in the greatly improved physical and mental health of participants, and their aspirations and interest in maintaining healthy lifestyles and choices. 

I have been fortunate to participate in the most incredible programs that have been offered to girls over the past few months! The thought and care that went into each of these initiatives were remarkable, particularly the food for fuel program, which was a lifesaver for me, providing the essential daily boost I needed! I now possess numerous tools to carry with me into the future and a healthier perspective on life! Thank you. M.L. Beneficiary 2024 

**Accounts & Report 2023- 2024** 



## **HIGHLIGHTSHIGHLIGHTS** 

**We are proud to have accomplished two major achievements in our mission to provide girls with top quality education and into-employment opportunities:** 

## **TEACHERS TRAINING** 

**We’ve pioneered the first ever accredited Teachers Training Qualification/course for 16-18s!** 

We so excited to have achieved an ATHE qualification on our comprehensive Level 3 Teachers Training course – the first ever for 1618 year olds! This is a major step forward for our participants, who can now be fully qualified to teach when they leave Get Set Girls at the age of 19, further broadening their employment prospects. 

## **AAT CENTRE** 

## **We are thrilled to have achieved accreditation as an AAT centre!** 

This means our beneficiaries can now take their accounting exams right here on our premises. Both staff and beneficiaries were buzzing with excitement over this development, as it eliminates travel time and streamlines their courses for them, allowing them to take exams in a familiar and comfortable setting. Additionally, this change reduced travel expenses and enhanced convenience and achievement for everyone involved. 

Becoming an accredited AAT centre has truly solidified Get Set Girls reputation for professionalism and effectiveness, which are essential qualities for any approved center. 

**Accounts & Report 2023- 2024** 



## **HIGHLIGHTS** 

## **MATRIX CERTIFICATION** 

We are so excited to have achieved the Matrix Certification this year! This quality mark attests to the superior quality of Information, advice and guidance Get Set Girls provides its users. 

## **ADDITIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS** 

We are delighted with our improved overall achievement: from 92.7% for the academic year 22/23, we have increased to a record-breaking 99.3% for the academic year 23/24. 

## Additionally, ALL leavers either found their first job or decided to continue with further education! 

The previous year has elevated Get Set Girls to a new level. A significant number of our objectives, particularly in the educational sector, have been achieved, and we anticipate utilizing and applying these for the upcoming year. G.S. Get Set Girls project volunteer 

**Accounts & Report 2023- 2024** 



## **Goals** 

## **Continue Basement** 

We are committed to completing the construction of our basement, which has taken longer than anticipated. Our goal is to finish this project as soon as possible to provide the community with a suitable space for various activities. This will enable us to expand our programs and accommodate more young people effectively. 

## **Sport focus** 

We aim to enhance our emphasis on sports activities and programs, providing our beneficiaries with greater opportunities to engage in physical pursuits. Sports have a remarkable capacity to positively impact individuals' physical, social, and mental well-being, fostering a healthier and more connected community. 

## **Computer Suite Upgrade** 

We aim to transform our computer suite into a dynamic and engaging learning environment, featuring modern workshop spaces, classrooms, and training facilities designed to inspire and motivate young individuals. This upgrade will encourage our beneficiaries to participate in training, education, and extracurricular activities actively, equipping them with valuable skills and experiences that enhance their leisure, training, and employment prospects, ultimately improving their quality of life. 

**Budgeting** Our objective is to equip our beneficiaries with vital budgeting skills that enable them to achieve financial stability, irrespective of their income levels. By offering thorough training and practical resources, we aim to establish a solid foundation for sustainable financial practices, empowering our beneficiaries to manage their economic situations with assurance and resilience.

**GET SET GIRLS INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GET SET GIRLS** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Get Set Girls (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACCA, which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

**GET SET GIRLS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Get Set Girls is a public benefit entity registered in England and Wales. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will continue for the foreseeable future based upon the continued financial support from the community. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds that the trustees have designated for specific projects. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund can be obtained upon request. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

**page 8** 



**GET SET GIRLS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Leasehold improvements Straight line method Fixtures and fittings 20% Reducing Balance Method 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.9 Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

**page 9** 



**GET SET GIRLS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.10 Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **1.11 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
