## Shift.ms Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 April 2022 

The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2022. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law. 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

Shift.ms - www.Shift.ms - is the community for people with multiple sclerosis (MSers). Founded by MSers, for MSers, the charity exists to offer social and emotional support, and to inspire people with MS to take charge of their health as soon as possible after diagnosis. It’s independent and it’s free. 

## **Why Shift.ms?** 

A diagnosis of MS is life changing. It strikes when you’re in the prime of your life. 

Hearing from people like you helps you listen, adapt and take charge. 

## **Mission** 

Shift.ms equips people with MS (MSers) to make sense of MS as soon as possible after diagnosis. 

## **Desired Outcomes** 

Shift.ms work seeks to impact MSers through: 

- reduced isolation and loneliness 

- improved emotional health 

- increased self-efficacy 

As a result of the above outcomes, Shift.ms aims to minimise the negative impact of an MS diagnosis on quality of life. 

## **Beneficiaries of our services** 

## _Primary beneficiaries_ 

Each week 130 people in the UK are diagnosed with MS. With no known cure, there are approximately 130,000 people living with MS in the UK and 3 million worldwide. Since its inception, Shift.ms has been seeing a steady uptake in service users with approximately 800 newly diagnosed MSers registering on our platforms every month in 2021/22. 

## _People within two years of diagnosis_ 

Results from an independent review of Shift.ms’ services (Tavistock Institute), have shown that Shift.ms has the biggest impact within the first two years of MS diagnosis, including social and emotional support, coping with diagnosis behaviorally and psychologically, increasing confidence in “getting on with life”, and accessing information that is understandable and relevant. 

## _People with MS (2 years+)_ 

For those more experienced with MS, there is the need for support in adapting to changes in lifestyle and progression of the condition. There is the additional need to ‘give-back’ and share social support,

experience, knowledge and personal skills and networks with others who are new to life with the condition. 

## _Support partners_ 

Where relevant we will engage family, close friends or carers of those living with MS - both to enable them to better support the MSer(s) in their lives and themselves to thrive. 

## _Secondary beneficiaries- Healthcare providers/systems_ 

To reduce the strain on health services and improve health outcomes, there is the need to improve the self-management of MSers. Self-management of long term conditions (LTCs), is now a key priority of the NHS, to reduce the strain on health services and improve health outcomes[ 1 ] . 

Self-care support strategies have been identified as potentially benefiting 70% to 80% of people with LTCs. Empowered people, who are well-informed and well-supported are more likely to make healthy lifestyle choices; they tend to adhere better to medication regimes, they make informed and personally relevant decisions about their treatment, they better monitor symptoms & progression, and make healthy lifestyle choices and behaviours, and use less health care[ 2 ] . 

By providing insights and perspectives, patients can help the wider healthcare community better understand their needs and ultimately enhance the value of healthcare solutions being developed. 

## **Our strategy** 

In 2021/22 Shift.ms continues to deliver against the strategy set out in the previous year by increasing the positive impact on its beneficiaries, reaching more people recently diagnosed with MS, and developing a balanced income mix to ensure long term sustainability of the organisation. The Trustees have been involved in monitoring, challenging and refining the strategy alongside the Shift.ms team. The strategy identifies strategic priorities focusing on amplifying Shift.ms’ positive impact on MSers and the operational areas required to deliver our strategy in a post-COVID-19 world. 

Our strategic priorities by April 2024 are as follows: 

1. Reach newly diagnosed MSers when they need support. 

   - Increase the number of MSers registered on www.Shift.ms to 100,000 by 2024. 

2. Improve quality of life for MSers 

- By 2024 establish Shift.ms’ product proposition as a tool for health management, with peer support and MSer-led education programmes integrated to connect, inform and inspire based on MSers’ individual needs. 

- 3. Increase the financial sustainability of Shift.ms by utilising the insights gained through the digital product and programmes 

   - Develop a community insights product offering with an aim of generating £450,000 per annum by 2024. 

## **Activities against these priorities** 

Reaching newly diagnosed MSers 

- Put together a 3 year marketing strategy for the team to work from which includes both a member engagement and content marketing strategy;

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated purposes. 

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

## **Achievements** 

The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on the advancement of education of the public, and in particular those who are newly diagnosed, in the subject of multiple sclerosis and are undertaken to further Shift.ms’s charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

## **Significant achievements:** 

## **Reaching newly diagnosed MSers** 

- At the end of 21/22, www.Shift.ms had over 43,000, a growth of 5,000 members. Slightly more than two thirds identify as women, with the US being our largest growing audience; 

- We reached new members mainly through social media channels. Included within our social media activities were takeovers run by members of our community on weekends who talk about their experiences of living with MS. The twitter channel grew in followers by 2,500 in comparison to 1,300 in the previous year; 

- Our pilot _MSers React_ series, in which we bring together  a group of four MSers on Zoom to react in real-time whilst watching MS related videos on YouTube, whilst sharing their experiences/stories and feelings along the way, was a huge success. The series gained nearly 10,000 views in the first two months of release with many commenting on its ‘relatable content’ and improved their

knowledge of living with MS. We’re looking forward to producing more series in the coming financial year. 

## **Improving quality of life through our product** 

- The _Buddy Network,_ our one-to-one peer support programme,  continued to go from strength to strength. In this financial year, the Buddy Network received an 118% annual increase in requests for support. 88% of MSers felt the Buddy Network is an accessible form of support. This was the first year of our three year National Lottery Community Fund grant for this project; 

- We continued to roll out upgrades on www.Shift.ms, which helped improve people’s connections with others. 71% of MSers made a meaningful connection on www.Shift.ms, an uplift of 5% on the previous year; 

- We improved the experience of being able to ask questions other MSers with nearly 7,000 conversations started on our forum, an increase of nearly 2,000 on the previous year; 

- Our direct messages functionality was improved significantly allowing people to connect one-to-one and expand their support network. Over 43,000 direct messages were sent between members in comparison to 18,000 in the previous year. 

- We rolled out a new method for understanding the impact of our service with a single question, a Net Promoter Score (NPS), which asked whether a member would recommend the service to other newly diagnosed MSers’. This year our target was to create a baseline, which at the end of this financial year was a score of 63.64 (anything above 30 is considered “good”). We will use this to benchmark against in the next financial year. 

## **Increase financial stability via our Insights programme** 

- We surpassed our financial 2021/22 Insights target set at the start of the year by £56,000; 

- This was mainly due to our success with our Future of MS Care work. Following on from our white paper on MS and Covid-19 in 2020, we conducted another research piece with the MS community, _Future of MS Care_ , to unearth insights from the patient  perspective and identify what changes could be implemented to improve MSers’ experience of care beyond the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This research included input from over 2,000 MSers, which is in line with the numbers we have involved in previous research pieces. These learnings have been shared widely both through Shift.ms channels and across the healthcare professional community. An abstract of the white paper was presented at ECTRIMS 2022. 

- _Day One_ is a series of short form MSer-led health  information videos, with the aim of demystifying the uncertainty around a diagnosis of MS. The series featured 8 MSers talking about their first experience of having an MRI scan. It had over 17,000 views in its first 2 months of release with this number now growing to over 25,000. 

## **Volunteers** 

In 2021/22, Shift.ms worked with 252 volunteers, which means for every member of staff, we have 21 volunteers. In 2020/21, we worked with 255 volunteers, and we aimed this year to maintain this number as we anticipated there would be a levelling out or a drop in people’s availability to support our work as we moved into a phase of living with Covid-19. 

95% of volunteers are people who live with MS and are members of www.Shift.ms. Our volunteers deliver some of our key services by sharing their skills and lived experience with the community. Volunteers contributed 2,915 hours and worked behind the scenes in a number of roles including creating social media content, providing support to newly diagnosed MSers through the Buddy Network and writing blog

content. 95.5% of volunteers feel they’re part of a community, which is an increase of 3.5% on the previous year. 85% of volunteers agreed volunteering has helped them to adapt/adjust to living with MS, which is an increase of 5%. These both exceeded our expectations which were to remain relatively stable and in line with the previous year. 

## **Fundraising** 

This year saw a period of stability in our fundraising, despite the fact that income dropped in some areas due to the reduction in pandemic related support funds due to Covid-19. 

We continued to diversify our sources of funding and we were successful in securing new funding from a mix of trusts and foundations and corporations. In particular, we developed a small funder programme which has seen us secure funding from organisations we have not worked with before. 

Community event fundraising was uneven, as the world continues to recover from the impact of Covid-19. Income was down on the previous year, but we had some new supporters who raised money via taking part in the Asics 10k event in London alongside several fundraising events held by a book club. Shift.ms wishes to thank the community for their continued support and generosity. 

Our fundraising activity has been undertaken in-house by our Trusts & Foundations Manager with support from other internal members of the team. We have not worked with external fundraising organisations or agencies. 

Shift.ms is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and we adhere to the Code of Fundraising. Our privacy policy is kept up to date and reflects the changes made to the General Data Protection Regulation. Fundraising requests are made only of supporters who have opted in to receive communications from us, and they can unsubscribe at any time. We received no complaints this year in relation to fundraising activities. 

## **Financial review** 

Overall, we are in a strong and stable financial position at the year end April 2022. Both our income and net profit were down in comparison to 2020/21 due to us beginning to lay foundations for significant growth and expansion to both our team and product. 

The Covid-19 pandemic was still majorly in effect during the financial year, and this particularly impacted our public fundraising income due to events not taking place or being cancelled. Pre-Covid, this was a fruitful income channel for us and it is hoped this income stream will recover to pre-pandemic levels in 2022/23. 

Moving forward, we are likely to see a short to medium term decrease in our Trusts & Grants income due to the loss of a staff member in March 2022 which resulted in us not having a Fundraiser in position at the end of the Financial Year and for a further three months into 2022/23. Due to the likely upcoming economic crisis, we are anticipating there may be a fall in individual giving fundraising in the second half of 2022/23. We are also predicting an increase in staff expenditure due to inflated recruitment costs, a competitive job market and our continued plans for expansion.

## Shi�.ms Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 April 2022 

The budget for 22/23 shows significant income growth during the year compared to 21/22, with increases in revenue from Insights, Corporate Partnerships and Trusts and Grants. It is recognised that these targets might be challenging to meet, particularly in relation to Trust and Grant income but we have made significant progress since in recruiting a new Head of Fundraising and adding further resource to the team. 

||2021/22 (£)|2020/21 (£)|
|---|---|---|
|Total Income|1,010,905|1,049,323|
|Total Expenditure|733,062|708,848|
|Net|277,843|340,475|
|Balance B/F|566,638|226,163|
|Balance C/F|844,481|566,638|
|Unrestricted|343,718|230,818|
|Restricted|500,763|358,820|



During 2022/23 the trustees will consider the most optimal route for its investments. 

The 2022/23 budget was set based on a realistic assessment of the income receivable and will be monitored and updated on a regular basis during the year with actions taken as required. The Trustees are satisfied that Shift.ms is a going concern. 

## **Reserves policy** 

In accordance with charity law, all income received by Shift.ms is applied towards its charitable purposes within a reasonable period of receipt. In meeting this obligation, the trustees of Shift.ms take into account the need to maintain reserves commensurate with the charity's financial circumstances and other relevant factors. The trustees of Shift.ms monitor the level of such reserves throughout the year and regularly review the reserves policy to ensure that it meets Shift.ms' changing needs and circumstances. 

Shift.ms has diversified the sources of income over the last three years.  Shift.ms surpassed its four month reserves target of £316,570 in April 2022 by £27,148 (with a total of £343,718 of unrestricted reserves). Shift.ms has an ambition to further increase its level of unrestricted reserves to six months over the coming years to ensure the long term sustainability of the organisation. 

The actual level of unrestricted reserves at the end of the year is therefore  more than  the target level calculated by the Trustees. The additional reserves will be used to further the strategic objectives of the charity. 

The Trustees will also re-assess the calculation of the minimum level of unrestricted reserves on an annual basis to ensure that it remains sufficient and takes into account any changes in S hift.ms ' circumstances. The trustees will continue to review the amount of reserves that are required on a quarterly basis to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations.

## **Plans for the future** 

This is the second year of our new strategy. To help us deliver this ambitious strategy, 2022/23 will be another year of significant growth for the team. Our fundraising strategy over the coming years will continue to focus on diversifying our funding sources and increasing income from areas where we have identified significant potential for growth, including public fundraising and major donors. In particular, we plan to use some unrestricted funds to help us achieve our strategic objectives and build a solid base for the following few years. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Organisational structure** 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16 November 2006 and registered as a charity on 8 December 2006. 

The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 30 April 2021 was 10 (2020: 8). The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. 

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 11 to the accounts. 

## **Recruiting trustees** 

Trustees are recruited via Nurole.com and word of mouth. 

To apply, potential trustees must complete an application form and undertake interviews with the board of trustees. 

Trustees sign up for a 3-year term which can be extended to a second 3-year term, and in exceptional cases a third 3-year term. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

All new trustees are deemed to have sufficient knowledge of their specific field to understand the nature of Shift.ms and to contribute to the charity's current and medium-term strategies. 

Trustees are given an in-house induction shortly after being appointed and are required to attend an external trustee training course and are encouraged to do so within 12 months of joining the board. 

All Trustees are also required to complete a basic DBS check and complete a ‘Safeguarding for Trustees’ online course within the first three months of joining the board.. 

The charity is governed by its trustees in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Charity Commission.

Shi�.ms Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 April 2022 

## **Making decisions** 

## _Delegation day-to-day management_ 

The Trustees delegate day-to-day management of the charity and take advice from the following executive within Shift.ms: 

George Pepper, Chief Executive and Co-Founder 

## _Annual budget_ 

The Trustees signing off the annual budget allows the Executives to make decisions throughout the year based on their assessment of the most effective way of delivering the activity. However, the Executives recognise there will be unforeseen matters where Trustee involvement will be necessary. 

When possible, these matters will be added to the agendas of future Trustee meetings, however when there is a more pressing need for a response, the Executives can seek approval over email. 

## _Trustee approval process_ 

- Approval from Trustees can be requested by the Executives over email. All Trustees should submit a response within five working days where possible. 

- Once a majority of Trustees have given their approval, the Executives can proceed unless there are any firm objections, at which point a conference call will be organised. 

- In exceptional circumstances where an emergency decision is required, the active Chair of Trustees will make a decision on behalf of the board of Trustees. 

Trustee sign off is required prior to Shift.ms commitment on strategically important matters. These matters include: 

- any project affecting Shift.ms’ intellectual property; 

- any project involving wholesaling services to third parties; 

- any project involving the NHS; 

- any project representing a departure from Shift.ms’ current service model and over £5,000 in value. 

## **Remuneration policy for key management personnel** 

Shift.ms has a remuneration committee which meets periodically throughout the year. This committee oversees the remuneration policy and agrees the salaries and any other payments to the chief executive and executive leadership team. Their role is to ensure that Shift.ms' staff are rewarded fairly and differentially according to their contribution to the charity, both in achieving their objectives and in developing their competencies, skills and knowledge. They design remuneration policies and practices to support strategy and promote long term sustainable success, with executive remuneration aligned to company purpose and values, clearly linked to the successful delivery Shift.ms’ long-term strategy. The Committee has full authority to appoint remuneration consultants and commission or purchase any reports, surveys or information which it deems necessary. No senior manager shall be involved in any decisions as to their own remuneration outcome. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. In the opinion of the trustees the only material fraud risk would relate to the custody of funds on deposit and consider that adequate arrangements have been made to safeguard these funds. The management and the trustees maintain a risk register, which is updated at least annually, and includes mitigation actions.

Shi�.ms Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 April 2022 

## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees** 

The trustees (who are also directors of Shift.ms for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware 

- 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 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Auditors** 

Third Sector Accountancy Limited were appointed as the charitable company's auditors in 2021 and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity. 

This  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  applicable  to  companies  subject  to  the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006. 

The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Shi�.ms 

## **Opinion** 

We  have  audited  the  financial  statements  of  Shi�.ms  (the  ‘charitable  company’)  for  the  year  ended  30  April  2022 which  comprise  the  Statement  of  Financial  Ac�vi�es,  the  Balance  Sheet,  the  Statement  of  Cash  Flows  and  notes  to the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accoun�ng  policies.  The  financial  repor�ng  framework that  has  been  applied  in  their  prepara�on  is  applicable  law  and  United  Kingdom  Accoun�ng  Standards,  including Financial  Repor�ng  Standard  102 _The  Financial  Repor�ng  Standard  applicable  in  the  UK  and  Republic  of  Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce). 

## In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  state  of  the  charitable  company’s  affairs  as  at  30  April  2022  and  of  its  incoming resources and applica�on of resources for the year then ended; 

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Interna�onal  Standards  on  Audi�ng  (UK)  (ISAs  (UK))  and  applicable  law. Our  responsibili�es  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditor’s  responsibili�es  for  the  audit  of  the financial  statements  sec�on  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  responsibili�es  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 rela�ng to going concern** 

In audi�ng the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accoun�ng in the prepara�on of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not iden�fied any material uncertain�es rela�ng to events or condi�ons that, individually or collec�vely, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to con�nue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibili�es and the responsibili�es of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sec�ons of this report. 

## **Other informa�on** 

The  other  informa�on  comprises  the  informa�on included  in  the  trustees  report,  other  than  the  financial  statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other informa�on. 

Our  opinion  on  the  financial  statements  does  not  cover  the  other  informa�on  and,  except  to  the  extent  otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In  connec�on  with  our  audit  of  the  financial  statements,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  other  informa�on  and,  in doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  informa�on  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the financial  statements  or  our knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit  or  otherwise  appears  to  be  materially  misstated.  If  we  iden�fy  such  material inconsistencies  or  apparent  material  misstatements,  we  are  required  to  determine  whether  there  is  a  material misstatement  in  the  financial  statements  or  a  material  misstatement  of  the  other  informa�on.  If,  based  on  the  work we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other  informa�on,  we  are  required  to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Shi�.ms 

## **Opinions on other ma�ers prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

•  the  informa�on  given  in  the  trustees’  report,  which  includes  the  directors’  report  prepared  for  the  purposes  of company  law,  for  the  financial  year  for  which  the  financial  statements  are  prepared  is  consistent  with  the  financial statements; and 

•  the  directors’  report  included  within  the  trustees’  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  applicable  legal requirements. 

## **Ma�ers on which we are required to report by excep�on** 

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  iden�fied  material  misstatements  in  the  directors’  report  included  within  the trustees’ report. 

We  have  nothing  to  report  in  respect  of  the  following  ma�ers  in  rela�on  to  which  the  Companies  Act  2006  requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate  and  proper  accoun�ng  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 accoun�ng records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remunera�on specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the informa�on and explana�ons we require for our audit; or 

•  the  trustees  were  not  en�tled  to  prepare  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  the  small  companies  regime and  take  advantage  of  the  small  companies’  exemp�ons  in  preparing  the  trustees’  report  and  from  the  requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibili�es of trustees** 

As  explained  more  fully  in  the  trustees’  responsibili�es  statement  set  out  on  page  10,  the  trustees  (who  are  also directors  of  the  charitable  company  for  the  purposes  of  company  law)  are  responsible  for  the  prepara�on  of  the financial  statements  and  for  being  sa�sfied  that  they  give  a  true  and  fair  view,  and  for  such  internal  control  as  the trustees  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the  prepara�on  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 con�nue  as a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  ma�ers  related  to  going  concern  and  using  the  going  concern basis  of  accoun�ng  unless  the  trustees  either  intend  to  liquidate  the  charitable  company  or  to  cease  opera�ons,  or have no realis�c alterna�ve but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibili�es for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our  objec�ves  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  an  auditor’s  report  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

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Shi�.ms 

## **Capability of the audit in detec�ng irregulari�es, including fraud** 

Irregulari�es, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regula�ons. We design procedures in line with our responsibili�es, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregulari�es, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detec�ng irregulari�es, including fraud is detailed below. 

Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment in which it operates, we iden�fied the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regula�ons related to pension legisla�on, tax legisla�on, employment legisla�on, health and safety legisla�on, safeguarding legisla�on, data protec�on and other legisla�on specific to the industry in which the charity operates, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regula�ons that have a direct impact on the prepara�on of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the repor�ng requirements under the Chari�es SORP and FRS102, and the Chari�es Act 2011. 

We evaluated management’s incen�ves and opportuni�es for fraudulent manipula�on of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principle risks were related to the pressure on management to achieve par�cular results. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Review of policies and risk assessments; 

- Review of insurance; 

- Discussions with management including considera�on of known or suspected instances of non-compliance; 

- Evalua�ng management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregulari�es; 

- Iden�fying and tes�ng journal entries; and 

- Challenging assump�ons and judgments made by management. 

There are inherent limita�ons in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regula�ons is from the events and transac�ons reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detec�ng a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detec�ng one resul�ng from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or inten�onal misrepresenta�ons, or through collusion. 

A  further  descrip�on  of  our  responsibili�es  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  statements  is  located  on  the  Financial Repor�ng  Council’s  website  at  www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibili�es.  This  descrip�on  forms  part  of  our  auditor’s report. 

## **Use of the audit 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.  Our  audit  work  has  been undertaken  so  that  we  might  state  to  the  charitable  company’s members  those  ma�ers  we  are  required  to  state  to  them  in  an  auditor’s  report  and  for  no  other  purpose.  To  the fullest  extent  permi�ed  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.

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2022 

## 1 Accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## a Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Shift.ms meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling. 

## b Judgments and estimates 

The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts. 

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## d Income 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Shift.ms 

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2022 (continued) 

## e Interest receivable 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## f Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. 

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 are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. 

## g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading including their associated support costs. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## h Allocation of support costs 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 10. 

## i Operating leases 

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## j Tangible fixed assets 

Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: 

Office fixtures and equipment 20%

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2022 (continued) 

## k Debtors 

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 trade discounts due. 

## l Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## m Creditors and provisions 

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 trade discounts due. 

## n Financial instruments 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## o Pensions 

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. Outstanding contributions at the year end were £2,157. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and allocated to the funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 10. 

## 2 Legal status of the charity 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
