## **CANAAN PROJECT** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023**_ 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2023. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity's objects are to promote the provision of recreational facilities and education in life skills.   The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are the provision of activities for vulnerable children and young people, and there has been no change in these during the year. 

The Project's aims are to work collaboratively with marginalised girls and young women in Tower Hamlets to see them flourish, have broadened horizons and raised aspirations, by providing experiences and opportunities through innovative approaches to youth work. 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Between September 2022 and August 2023 we worked with a total of 274 young women across all of our provision.   We worked across three schools, launching a weekly lunch club in St Pauls Way Foundation School in January 2023.   As well as our weekly after-school club at St Andrews Wharf Youth Hub we also mentored 7 young women during this period and formally launched our steering committee. 

Our programme continues to be busy and our team engaged with an average of 90-100 young women each week.   We are proud of the support we have been able to offer to young women in the local community this year. 

## **Clubs** : 

## George Greens School 

We ran a regular drop-in lunch club for girls in years 7-9 once a week in term time.   We saw an average of 30 girls per session. 

We also ran our empowerment course for young women in year 7 as part of their enrichment programme.   We ran three courses throughout the year for a total of 64 different young women. 

## Canary Wharf College 

We ran two drop-in lunch clubs for girls in all years during term time seeing an average of between 20 and 40 young women at each session and 88 different young women in total. 

## St Pauls Way 

The school assigned young women in need of extra support to our weekly lunch club which we ran in conjunction with East London Tabernacle.   We saw an average of 15 young women each week. 

Across all three lunch clubs 96% of young women reported feeling welcomed, 100% reported feeling safe and 85% reported having tried new things. 

## After School Club 

After School Club runs weekly for two hours at St Andrews Wharf Youth Hub.   We saw a total of 62 young women over the year with an average of 20 young women attending each week.   We finished the year with our Summer Showcase where young women from our steering committee presented to their parents, funders and other key partners of Canaan Project.

## **CANAAN PROJECT** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023**_ 

## **Mentoring** : 

We mentored 7 young women this year, taking referrals from all three schools. 

## **Trips/Residentials** : 

We ran 13 trips this year attended by 53 different young women and offering 139 spaces.   In keeping with our aim to broaden young women's horizons we took young women on a variety of trips including trampolining, iceskating, boxing and to a Ceramics Workshop.   We ran a small residential for 9 young women in September 2022 glamping in the Wye Valley.   We took a group of 25 young women away for two nights to Calshot Activity Centre in Southampton in July.   We had an amazing time swimming in the sea, learning to ski and trying out lots of other activities. 

## **Staff** 

We recruited Genesis Diaz in March 2023 to the role of Senior Young Women's Worker.   Our Young Women's Worker Sarah Baggaley left at the end of August 2023 to take up a full-time job elsewhere, but she continues to volunteer with us. 

## **Financial review** 

The income and expenditure of the charity for the year and its financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached accounts.   The trustees consider the financial position to be satisfactory and are grateful for the work put in by Barbara Workman as honorary treasurer and Steve Willcox as finance administrator during the period. 

We would like to thank our funders and volunteers who have supported us so generously during the period. With deep gratitude we would like to thank: City Bridge Foundation, Co-Op Community Fund, East End Community Foundation, Henry Smith Charity, Garfield Weston, George Greens School, Osmani Trust, The London Borough of Tower Hamlets Local Community Fund, Three Oaks and Wakefield & Tetley. 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between six and nine months' expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.   This includes the safeguarding of vulnerable young people. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: 

Hannah Genn Danielle Chamberlain (Appointed 7 September 2022) Rebecca White (Resigned 8 December 2022) Bethany Jennings Naznin Robinson Barbara Workman Lauren Gosling (Appointed 5 October 2022) Tsitsi Chirozva (Appointed 1 May 2023) 

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.   New trustees are appointed with the agreement of the existing trustees. 

The charity is overseen by the trustees, with seven paid members of staff and the essential help of volunteer workers in Tower Hamlets.

## **CANAAN PROJECT** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANAAN PROJECT** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Canaan Project (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination,  I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (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** 

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 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

- 4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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.

## **CANAAN PROJECT** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Canaan Project is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Lansbury Lodge, 117 Ricardo Street, London, E14 6EQ. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document],  the Companies Act 2006, 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 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, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. 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 has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 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. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

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. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Financial liabilities and expenditure are recognised in the accounts at the time when a commitment to make payment is incurred.

## **CANAAN PROJECT** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **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: 

Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% p.a. on cost Computers 25% p.a. on cost 

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. 

## _**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.

## **CANAAN PROJECT** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## _**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 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **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.
