**SWITCH180 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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), Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
## **Public Benefit**
**Switch180 is the umbrella for two charitable programmes supporting young people: Snow Camp and Stop.Breathe.Think.**
The overall mission of Snow Camp and Stop.Breathe.Think is to turn young lives around through physical and mental health support.
We believe that every young person in the UK should have access to positive opportunities and support. We help those who are 21 and younger to gain the skills and tools they need to live positive and healthy lives.
For full and up to date information please see:
**www.snow-camp.org.uk www.stopbreathethink.org.uk**
In shaping our objectives and planning our activities for the year, the Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in section 17 (5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit and to the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit. In particular, the Trustees have considered how the planned activities will contribute to the overall aims and objectives that they have set.
The Trustees believe that the following paragraphs, specifically on the "Objectives and Activities" and "Achievements and Performance" for the year, relate in detail the benefit that the charity provides to the public.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Aims, Objectives and Significant Activities**
During the pandemic Stop.Breathe.Think was launched to support young people during lockdown alongside ongoing Snow Camp programmes. As a structure, Switch180 was created to ensure the smooth running of both charities under one roof.
As a youth charity at heart, Covid created an opportunity for us to help more young people. We now believe we are at the next natural stage of this journey; to enable Stop.Breathe.Think to operate as a separate charity in its own right and for Snow Camp to operate as its own charity once again. Therefore, phasing out the Switch180 structure.
Apart from a shared focus on young people, Snow Camp and Stop.Breathe.Think deliver very different missions, both hugely important in their own right but separate in scope, scale and outcomes. It is important that they are now recognised independently and for each charity to fundraise, communicate and be administered individually.
At the time of publishing, Stop.Breathe.Think had been entered onto the Register of Charities with the Registered Charity Number 1206068.
We feel hugely positive and excited about the road ahead. We have created two life changing charities, each delivering fantastic support and with the potential to positively impact the lives of thousands of young people over the coming years.

**SWITCH180 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
## **Our Programmes**
FIRST TRACKS 2-day introduction to skiing and snowboarding with classroom-based life skills sessions focusing on resilience, responsibility, confidence and overcoming fears. Young people gain an accredited Snowsport England Snow Life Award.
GRADUATE 5 weekends of snowsports training with life skills sessions focusing on career opportunities. Representatives from the industry, our patrons and Youth Forum all give inspiring talks. Young people gain an ASDAN certificate in Sport and Fitness and also take part in mental health and wellbeing workshops from this stage onwards with access to 1-1 counselling throughout.
EXCEL 10 weeks of snowsports development and instructor training with British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI), including a weeklong residential in a European ski resort. Alongside advanced snowsports training the young people gain their First Aid, Safeguarding and Mental Health Awareness qualifications.
Once the young people complete Excel the following pathways become available:
VOLUNTEER Once the young people complete their instructor training, they become our ambassadors as youth instructors on our programmes, teaching the next cohort of young people. We know young people are more likely to engage with our activities if their peers are a key component of their training. Not only is this empowering for them, but it's also inspirational for the new young people. Many young people will know these young instructors from their neighbourhoods and youth organisations showing them what they themselves could achieve in just one year. It's through these positive relationships that we're able to get feedback from, listen to and respond to the young people we're supporting.
APPRENTICESHIP young people are provided with full time employment for 1 year at Snow Camp which incorporates placements with snowsports industry partners alongside an NVQ Standard in Community Activator Coach or an SVQ in Sports Coaching and BASI Level 1 Instructor qualification. Our apprentices deliver First Tracks, Graduate and Excel alongside our youth volunteers with our Programme Managers supporting. Apprentices take part in mental health workshops and have access to 1-1 counselling sessions. We also offer mental health training opportunities including a Level 1 Introduction to Counselling Skills qualification.
YOUTH FORUM a community for young people who have completed our courses as well as for those who are currently enrolled. The Youth Forum ensures Snow Camp is youth led by providing co-productive opportunities for young people to work alongside our staff and apprentices as youth volunteers in each region. There are regional meet ups as well as one national Youth Board.

**SWITCH180 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
## **Significant activities**
In 2022/23 we engaged 800 young people nationally and built new partnerships with 58 youth organisations. Each young person, from London, the Midlands, the North-West and Scotland were referred to us by their youth worker as needing an engaging opportunity to build positive relationships and life-changing progression.
We engaged and maintained a positive involvement with each young person through our youth-led journey of accredited programmes, delivered in new environments, where they could thrive. Over the course of the year, 987 qualifications were gained, 1,264 volunteer hours were delivered by our youth instructors and 53 young people and our 8 Apprentices attended the 2022/23 Excel residential to Andorra, a life-changing week and first experience of the real mountains.
## **Mental Health and Well-Being**
Snow Camp introduced Wellbeing Managers onto our programmes in 2022 after noticing an increased number of young people on our programmes who needed further support in this area. We continued to see an increasing number of young people struggling with their mental health and wellbeing this year as a result of the pandemic. From missed opportunities, increased loneliness and isolation to the struggle to re-engage with education.
In response, our Wellbeing Managers, working alongside our Programme Managers in each region, were able to take time to listen to young peoples' concerns and advise, signpost, and where necessary, provide additional support. Free 1:1 counselling sessions were made accessible to everyone and group wellbeing sessions focussing on mindfulness and coping strategies were also delivered at each programme stage. As a result:
- 86 young people accessed 1-2-1 well-being support.
- 260 hours of 1:1 counselling sessions were provided this year.
- 83 well-being workshops were delivered throughout the programme year in all regions.
80% of young people said their confidence and self-belief had increased since joining Snow Camp.
95% said they have a better understanding of well-being and have gained the skills and strategies to look after their own mental health.

**SWITCH180 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
## **Cost-of-Living Crisis**
On top of this, the majority of our young people are living in poverty and their psychological strains were heightened with the cost-of-living crisis - all intensifying the need for our work this past year. 61% of our young people this year lived in the 30% most deprived UK postcodes according to the National Indices of Deprivation and alarmingly, 41% were entitled to free school meals, therefore living in a household with an income of less than £7,400. In response, a nutritious lunch is now provided to young people attending Snow Camp programmes.
## **Education**
Statistics in May 2023, show 24.2% of pupils are persistently absent from school since the pandemic and NEET rates remain persistently high with 770,000 young people not earning or learning, higher than pre-pandemic levels. www.gov.uk.
This year, on Snow Camp programmes:
- 146 young people achieved an ASDAN Certificate in Sport and Fitness
- 61 young people achieved certificates in First Aid and Safeguarding
- 51 young people achieved their BASI Foundation Instructor Certificates
Our apprentices achieved a certificate in Level 1 Counselling Skills, an SVQ/NVQ in Sports Coaching and Level 1 BASI Instructing qualifications. One of our alumni Apprentices also achieved his BASI Level 2 as an Adaptive Ski Instructor.
Furthermore, 25 Snowsports industry work placements took place, provided through our industry partners. 4 apprentices have secured chalet host / rep jobs in the mountains for the 2023/24 winter season and 4 more apprentices have secured ski/board instructor jobs at their local Snow Centre.
## **Future plans**
Next year marks a very special anniversary for Snow Camp, 20 years! On 3 October 2003, the first young people signed up to Snow Camp. Since then, more than 18,000 young people have joined us because of the kindness of all our supporters over the years.
Despite the challenges of recent years, we are looking forward to 2023/24, a special year for Snow Camp and we are so grateful to be surrounded by such a wonderful community. Now more than ever we need to make sure young people are getting the right, targeted support as they face many challenges in their lives. Our programmes will continue to build their confidence, self-belief and support networks, supporting their mental wellbeing and inspiring them on to a pathway to employability.

## **Fundraising Events**
We couldn't have carried out the vital work explained above without our incredible supporters. From ski challenges to runners and hikers to golfers, this is just how some people across the country helped us to fundraise in the last year. Thank you all so much!
## **Aravis Golf Day**
It was fantastic to be back at Bush Hill Park for our annual charity Aravis Golf Day. Teams of 4 enjoyed a wonderful day of golf in the sunshine for the charity. The atmosphere was so positive and it was wonderful to bring our supporters back together once again. Congratulations to the Bush Belles for taking home the Gregor Michie Memorial Trophy! The event raised a fantastic £15,000.
## **2023 Inter-Livery Ski Championships**
On the 25th-27th January 2023, we were in Morzine for the annual ILSC, where we were delighted to once again be the charity partners for the event. Our Triathlon event, took place for 30 enthusiastic Livery Company ski teams who all enjoyed taking on a Giant Slalom, followed by a Biathlon and then a Snow Shoe Hike, scoring points for their times in each element. Many congratulations to the Mercers for their overall victory and the Barbers for coming top in the fundraising challenge. The event raised over £35,000!
## **AJ Bell 3 Valley Rally**
After over a year of planning, Snow Camp's biggest ever alpine event came together in Val Thorens. The 3 Valley Rally delivered 6 different alpine challenges across 2 fun filled days for 24 intrepid teams - each taking on a Biathlon, Snow Shoe Hike, Orienteering Challenge, Team Distance Challenge, Alpine Zip Wire and a Downhill Parallel Slalom Race. Each team collectively put in so much effort making the 3 Valley Rally our most successful fundraising event over the last 20 years. Our sincere, genuine and heartfelt thanks goes out to all our teams.

**SWITCH180**
**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
## **Our Service**
In November 2020, we launched Stop.Breathe.Think in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our unique mental health service offers accessible counselling sessions and support to any young person who would like to talk. There are no wait times and young people are matched with counsellors who specialise in their needs. We're able to ensure that young people can get the right, targeted support they need now.
Our work across 2022/23 highlighted the growing and urgent need for greater access to mental health support for children and young people across the country. To date, Stop.Breathe.Think has been able to:
- Support 3,004 children and young people
- Partner with 127 children and youth organisations
- Deliver 17,230 therapy sessions
- Support 1,108 young people via our 24-hour text service in partnership with Shout.
## **Significant activities**
This year, 92% of children and young people said they had improved mental health as a result of Stop.Breathe.Think.
Our counsellors felt that 93% of their service users had made progress and moved on positively with their mental health and wellbeing as a result of Stop.Breathe.Think.
We've also made positive organisational changes. In February, we were able to bring our team of counsellors fully in-house. The change has meant we're able to better understand the needs of our counsellors and young people and monitor and evaluate our impact more succinctly.

**SWITCH180**
**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
We have also put actions in place to ensure we're reaching the young people who need us the most and who would otherwise be unable to access support. We have introduced a means tested model for self and parent referrals to gain instant access to the service completely free of charge and built partnerships with looked after children and care leavers across the country to provide counselling to those struggling with adverse childhood experiences.
Our partnerships enable us to reach and support children and young people who might be affected by the stigma of mental health in their communities, social or economic pressures, or would struggle to access a GP and get on a conventional NHS waiting list.
With that in mind we've developed partnerships that enable us to provide direct support to young people living in and leaving care, inner city children whose institutions suffer from underfunding, children in areas of high deprivation, or health services in which young people's immediate physical needs are being supported, but their mental health has not been a priority.
## **Future plans**
We know that mental health doesn't discriminate. The young people who had therapy with Stop.Breathe.Think in 2022-23 came from every kind of socio-economic background, or Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), spread almost evenly across the board. 30% were from the three most deprived areas, and 9% from the least deprived indices.
However, we also know that there is a discrimination in terms of access to mental health care.
Waiting times for NHS help have reached 3 years in parts of the country, and very few young people are able to afford private care in the economic climate. This is why Stop.Breathe.Think - delivering accessible remote counselling, free to those who can't afford it, with no wait times - continues to be game changing and vital. Our priorities to help address this in the year ahead are:
**Accessible** - This year, 13% of our intakes were from Black and diverse ethnic communities. Our focus is to develop partnerships that provide access to youth ethnically diverse communities and to strive to ensure our counsellors are as diverse in their background and experience as our young people.
10
**SWITCH180**
**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
**Available** - One third of children referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services remain on waiting lists and do not receive the help they need - that's 250,000 children without support. Stop.Breathe.Think's priority is to ensure all young people facing mental health issues get early and fast access to mental health care, regardless of their situation. We are able to respond to referrals within 24 hours and make counselling available within 72 hours.
**Affordable** - In 2020, our nationwide research in partnership with Censuswide revealed that 4/5 young people are put off seeking mental health support due to costs. Since then, young people are tackling a cost-of-living crisis only making this situation worse. It's therefore essential we keep supporting those young people who are most affected and continue developing ways of reaching those who'd otherwise struggle to get help.
**Acceptable** - Research shows men are far less likely to ask for help and are more affected by the stigma of seeking therapy. This year 28% of our service users were male. Some of our latest partnerships are focused on tackling this issue, working in tandem with youth organisations with a high proportion of young men, and who can promote the dialogue around mental health with us.

Total expenditure for the year ended 30th June 2023 amounted to £1,353,193 compared to £1,314,449 in the previous period.
In line with SORP (FRS102), expenditure is analysed into two main categories; charitable activities and raising funds for the charity with the 'charitable ratio' being calculated as 'charitable activities expenditure' as a fraction of 'total expenditure'. In the year ended 30th June 2023 £1,161,655 of expenditure relates to charitable activities, and £191,538 to raising funds for the charity, a 'charitable ratio' of 86%. By comparison, in the year ended 30th June 2022, £1,107,301 related to charitable activities and £207,148 to raising funds for the charity. The charitable ratio for the previous year was 84%.
## **Snow Camp**
Total income for the year ended 30th June 2023 amounted to £1,009,836 for Snow Camp. Total expenditure for the year ended 30th June 2022 amounted to £921,179.

Total income for the year ended 30th June 2023 amounted to £432,075 for Stop.Breathe.Think. Total expenditure for the year ended 30th June 2022 amounted to £432,014.
## **Reserves policy**
We are committed to using our resources in pursuit of our charitable objectives. We are also committed to maintaining a level of reserves that is prudent to meeting ongoing liabilities, sufficient to ensure that all delivery commitments can be met and to protect the long-term future of Snow camp and Stop.Breathe.Think. Our Reserves Policy seeks to balance these priorities by aiming to hold a level of General Reserves based on the planned expenditure and for any uncertainties for the year.
Our net income over expenditure ended at £95,285. Total unrestricted reserves now stand at £1,019,759. The trustees are committed to maintaining our general reserves policy to a goal of 9-12 months, in order to ensure the sustainability and growth of the charities going forward. (See note 15).
**Snow Camp** expenditure requirements for 2023/24 will be £975,000 enabling us to support up to 1,000 young people. With an unrestricted reserve fund of £903,630 to ensure the sustainability of the charity going forward. (See note 15).
**Stop.Breathe.Think** expenditure requirements for 2023/24 will be £450,000 ensuring more than 1,500 children and young people are supported. Meaning a designated reserve fund of £116,129 to ensure an adequate Reserve is in place as the charity begins to operate independently from July 1st 2024.
## **Going Concern**
The Trustees are pleased to acknowledge that current reserves satisfy our reserves policy and are sufficient to cover forthcoming commitments for both charities going forward. The level of reserves will continue to be monitored quarterly at both Snow Camp and Stop.Breathe.Think Trustees meetings, and appropriate action will be taken if reserves fall outside the desired range. The Trustees therefore consider the charity to be a going concern.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Switch180 for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
## **AUDITORS**
The auditors, Chariot House Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
15
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SWITCH180**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Switch180 (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30th June 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30th June 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
16
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SWITCH180**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charitable company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We identified that the following laws and regulations are central to the charitable company:
- Companies Act 2006
- Charities Act 2011
- Charities SORP 2019
- Health & safety regulations
- Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005
We did not find any instances of non-compliance or breaches of the legislation framework applicable to the charitable company.
17
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SWITCH180**
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We identified that the following areas were of high risk:
- Completeness of income. We performed various audit tests to ensure that income was not materially understated in the financial statements.
- Management override of controls. We performed various audit tests to ensure there was no material management override of controls
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, UK tax legislation, Charities Act 2011, Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Charities SORP 2019. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of legal counsel when considered necessary. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of management bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charitable company’s trustees as a body in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Charities Act (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and s44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**SWITCH180 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and on that basis the charity is considered to be a going concern.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity, and are rounded to the nearest £1.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## Grants
Grants are recognised on an accruals basis, accounted for in relation to the period that they relate. Where grants have been received for capital items, the total grant has been disclosed in the SOFA and depreciation, in accordance with the accounting policies, has been charged against that income over the estimated useful economic life of the asset.
Where grants are received during the year under review but relate to a later period the amount is deferred under Grants in Advance in the Balance Sheet.
## **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.
## **Investments**
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and comprise investments in quoted equity instruments which are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the Balance Sheet at the current market price quoted on a recognised stock exchange as at the reporting date.

**SWITCH180 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Fixed Assets**
The charity has a policy of not capitalising any asset costing less than £1,000.
## **Taxation**
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK Corporation Tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Unrestricted funds are those where there are no externally imposed restrictions and are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees for expenditure on its objects or appropriated to reserves for internally designated purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
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.
## **Pensions**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the charity is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value 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 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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods.
There are no estimates and assumptions that are considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustments to the financial statements in a future period.
## **Financial instruments**
The charity has only financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and are subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Financial Assets**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
## **Financial Liabilities**
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 discounts due.
