THE BOO CHARITY REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1100519 # **ANNUAL CHARITY REPORT 2023** LATEST INFORMATION AND UPDATES ABOUT THE BOO CHARITY The Boo Charity c/o Unit 4 Nova Business Park, Gore Road Industrial Estate New Milton, Hampshire, BH25 6SA Registered Charity Number: 1100519 www.boo-charity.org.uk ## **A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER** We are delighted to present the annual charity report for Boo Charity, showcasing the remarkable achievements and impact made possible by the generous contributions and support received for the year ending 30th June 2023. With a total income of £67,000 raised through the Boo Charity Ball, 23 in 23 Challenge, Kenya Trip fundraising and general donor income. These funds enabled us to make a substantial difference in the lives of those in need. With income higher than expenditure, we ended the year with a surplus of funds compared to previous years. Student intake and participation was significantly increased following the COVID impact the previous years. ## **RUSSELL HICKS** FOUNDER & TRUSTEE THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 ## **MISSION AND VISION** Boo Charity is dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children living in poverty within Kenya. Our mission is to provide access to education, healthcare, and social support, empowering individuals to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future. We envision a world where every child could thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 ## **ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2022/23 1. NYAMACHE – “LIFE SKILLS”- PROJECT** This Boo project is a wholly owned, fully funded life skills training college based in northwest Kenya, which provides life skills training in dressmaking, tailoring, hairdressing, welding & fabrication, business IT and agriculture. We provide all the provisions for this project, including teachers, materials, utilities, food, and learning provisions. The training is provided in line with Kenyan Government authorised skills certification standards, to ensure students graduate with a recognised certification to support onward job prospects. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 During this period enrolment at the college was 100% with 105 student places taken up across the following skills areas: Hairdressing: 30 Students Dressmaking & tailoring: 25 Students Metalwork & Fabrication: 20 Students Computer & IT skills: 30 students Of the total cohort in our 18th Graduation 92 students graduated across all skills subject areas which was a huge increase on the prior year of just 52 students. Total funds allocated to this project: £23,814 for the year. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 ## **2. NYAMWANGA & BUSIRE – “EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT” PROJECTS** Both projects are in close proximity to one another, in northern Kenya towards the Uganda border. In each project, we support the provision of food, teachers, and teaching materials for the youngest and most disadvantaged children in this heavily impoverished rural area. The two schools combined have over 2,800 children, our support assisted 429 children across the two schools which is about an 8% increase from the prior year. We continually find that a consistent food source is the root cause of many issues and manifests into health and learning difficulties which if not tackled, children do not have the energy to get to school causing serious learning difficulties. In 22/23 we increased the allocation of funding to support the feeding program, ensuring that all ECD learners (aged 4-6) received porridge in the morning and a nutritious lunchtime meal. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 As a result, we’ve received great feedback from the school, with higher levels of attendance, greater work efforts and better test results. Total funds allocated to this project: £4,645 per ECD for the year. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 ## **2. KIBERA KIMMTA - “EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT” PROJECT** This project is situated in the heart of Kibera, Africa’s largest slum, on the outskirts of Nairobi City. This ECD supports the youngest and most disadvantaged children in this densely populated area. Our organisation supports the provision of food, teachers’ wages, and learning materials. We supported 70 children in preschool and 320 in the afterschool program which was an increase of 200 children on the previous year. Here we assist with homework learning, mentorship, and safeguarding, most notably providing a loving support community in a place where children can escape the slum environment for a moment to focus on themselves, away from family chorus and general distractions. Our support focuses on children most at risk and in need, some are orphaned and looked after by extended family or other community members. Children benefit from a guaranteed source of daily food, and provisions of teaching and mentorship throughout their young lives. Total funds towards this project for the period amounted to £5,419 THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 ## **4. KIBERA KIMTA - “FOOTBALL PROJECT”** Football is at the heart of the Kibera community, as it’s a positive way to engage young people in healthy practices, provide them with mentorship and play together. This project supports weekly training sessions as well as community-wide tournaments, which occur during the lengthy school holidays and see over 1,200 children partaking annually. The focus of football is combined with counselling and mentorship for both boys and girls. It helps with cohesion in the community, providing children with direct emotional and life counselling support. Returning teenage children and young adults who have benefited from their time at KIMMTA, assist in voluntary support at these events. In January 2023, we held a community-wide football tournament, in memory of Leon Crouch, who’s trust covered the cost of the event. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2023 30 teams of boys and girls, of all ages participated in the 2 week long event. Alongside the all important matches, children were encouraged to participate in mentoring and empowerment classes, which were dedicated to healthy eating, general health education and best practices to avoid getting involved with the prevalent drug and gang culture. Plus, all attendees are welcomed into the KIMMTA after-school club, to ensure a continuation of care and education - many of which have become regular attendees. ## THE BOO CHARITY **----- Start of picture text -----**

Trustee The notes form part of these financial statements Page 5 **THE BOO CHARITY** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **Income** All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution on the legacy being received. Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by the volunteers. ## **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. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

Trustee The notes form part of these financial statements Page 5 **THE BOO CHARITY** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **Income** All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution on the legacy being received. Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by the volunteers. ## **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. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
