Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the organisation in the period under review was the charitable advancement of education, in particular of those who have social or economic disadvantage or who have disability, through the provision or assistance in the provision of information, learning and communications technology.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

As a charity, we have made a real impact this year with our work for the benefit of people in Beaumont Leys, Leicester, and beyond. The Covid pandemic has defined our role in the communities we work in, and we now have a deeper understanding, along with more knowledge and experience to ensure we best meet our beneficiaries’ needs. During the pandemic, we carried out 11,700 doorstep deliveries of emergency food and visited 13,400 homes in our locale. We utilised our kitchen and the kitchen at Beaumont Lodge Neighbourhood Centre to create over 6000 meals with fresh ingredients. At the end of the pandemic, we re-mobilised our Emergency Food Distribution service to a new Food Pantry model which is now meeting the needs of a ‘hidden population’ of people that fall through the gaps of existing foodbank provision. Since Q3 2021, we have distributed 9 tons of surplus food through our Food Pantry service.

Our services are now more streamlined than ever and we have four distinct areas of work e.g. Strike Out - Alternative education provision, Afterschool and holiday provision for young people, community capacity building projects as well as our food redistribution services.

We have been fortunate to be supported by a wide range of organisations and businesses that are too extensive to list, however, a special mention has to be made to Demontfort University, The National Lottery Community Fund, Sports England, Violence Reduction Network, Leicester City Council, Samworth Brothers, as well as our local community partners. We owe a debt of gratitude to all our hard-working volunteers, staff, and Trustees who all go the extra mile to ensure we meet the expectation of our beneficiaries.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Our trading income has suffered a significant loss in Q1 - Q3 of 2021, due to a lack of student placements from mainstream schools and education partnerships. This has meant we utilised the Governments Job Retention Scheme to ensure we did not have to make redundancies. However, even with the use of this scheme, we had to make a few redundancies, because of restricted grant-funded projects that naturally came to an end once the Covid pandemic ended, and our Emergency Food Distribution service ended. This was of no surprise to the staff that were employed on this project, and they were supported to secure new employment, or were able to move sideways in our organisation.

During Q1 - Q3, restricted grant funding was significantly increased, mostly because of our response to the pandemic and the services we mobilised. Our youth services and community capacity-building work has continued to grow and expand which has provided the charity with significant restricted funds. Q3 2021 - Q1 2022 has seen our trading income increase and expand close to pre-pandemic levels. During this same period, our restricted grant funding has continued to grow with trusts, foundations and national initiatives starting to come back on stream for non-covid related projects.

I expect that we will increase our trading income by 25% in the next financial year and continue to receive restricted funds for specific charitable projects. This will mean that our income for the next financial year will exceed any previous years.

Report of the Trustees (continued) for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

Charity 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 charity and of the net surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:-

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP FRS 102. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The organisation has taken advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the report above. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees report above.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 12.

This report is made solely to the trustees, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees, as a body, for my work, for this report, or the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiners report

My examination is carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the "true and fair" view given by the accounts, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

I confirm that no matters have come to my attention to indicate that:

requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

2.3) Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.

Grants with performance conditions

Where the charity gives a grant for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants payable without performance conditions

Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.

Redundancy cost

The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.

Deferred income

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

Provision for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Basic financial instruments

The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.

2.4) Assets

Debtors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
