THE BOO CHARITY REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1100519 # **ANNUAL CHARITY REPORT 2024** 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** Welcome to our annual charity report for Boo Charity, showcasing the remarkable achievements and impact during the period. In November 2023, our Trustee and volunteer team from the UK visited all our projects in Kenya for the first time since the pandemic. The impact of the project’s progress and bounce back from such a dark period was inspirational to see, as it was equally hard and overwhelming to witness the continued poverty and how this has been stretched even further through the effects of the pandemic. Our sustainability as a charity has only been possible through the incredible voluntary support here in the UK, our amazing partners in Kenya and generous donors. Together we raised a total income of £65,511 through the Boo Charity Ball, Charity Golf Day, Silent Disco, Child sponsorships and Company Sponsorship support all enabling a positive and substantial impact changing lives and giving opportunities for those most in need. ## **RUSSELL HICKS** FOUNDER & TRUSTEE THE BOO CHARITY **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **MISSION AND VISION** The 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 can thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2024 ## **ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2023/24 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 training. We provide all the provisions for this project, including teachers, materials, utilities, food, and learning provisions. The training is provided in line with the Kenyan governmentrecognised skills certification standards, where students graduate with skills certification to support onward job prospects. THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2024 During Jan our Welding & Fabrication students supported an upgrade and refurbishment initiative for the sewing machines in the Dress making & tailoring course, all this was funded from internal income generating activities (IGA’s) such as sale of over produce from the farm at market and charges to young adults for the evening It courses. In March, 10 new computers were funded and supported for the Business Skills project, which supports a very high number of our students and has opened the courses to young adults in the local community to learn IT skills on an evening paid shortcourse basis, this delivers the centre additional IGA’s. In November 2023, 172 students graduated. With 30 in Welding & Fabrication, 36 in Dressmaking & Tailoring, 30 in Hairdressing & Beauty, 40 in daily Computer IT classes and 76 in evening Computer IT classes. Total funds towards this project for the period amounted to £29,777 THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2024 ## **2. NYAMWANGA & BUSIRE – “EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT” PROJECTS** Both projects are in proximity to one another in northern Kenya towards the Uganda border. In each project, we support the provisions 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, and our support assists 555 children. 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 simply do not have the energy to get to school causing serious learning difficulties. Total funds towards this project for the period amounted to £6,432 (This included new gas cookers for the Busire project) THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2024 ## **3. KIBERA KIMMTA - “EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT” PROJECT** The project is situated in the heart of Kibera on the outskirts of Nairobi City. We support the provisions of food, teachers, and teaching materials to support the youngest and most disadvantaged children in this densely populated area. The school has 78 children in preschool and 120 children in an after-school program, which assists with homework learning, providing a safe and quiet place for children to focus and have the support of teachers. 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, provisions of teaching and mentorship throughout their young lives. Total funds towards this project for the period amounted to £6,700 (this included a new gas cooker) THE BOO CHARITY YEAR 2024 ## **4. KIBERA KIMMTA - “FOOTBALL PROJECT”** This project supports a tournament which is played during the school holidays, enabling a very large participant group of over 1,000 children 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 time at KIMMTA, assist in voluntary support at these events. The tournament spans some 6 weeks of the holiday period which is often a time when children are highly vulnerable to negative influences within the harsh environment. Total funds for event: £1,800 ## THE BOO CHARITY **----- Start of picture text -----**

J Gill - 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 2024** ## **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.

J Gill - 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 2024** ## **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.
