Achievements and performance
Building on our successful grant making partnerships, the charity continued to provide small grants to community groups, primarily tackling food poverty and mainly working with The Felix Project.
The charity was pleased to host and support the launch of the Charity Hall of Fame, a digital initiative that aims to build an archive of the social pioneers and change-makers that helped to shape civil society. Inspired by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame the first ‘Class of Inductees’ is due to be announced in the summer of 2025.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The charity will continue developing partnerships with organisations and sponsors to help small and micro-organisations access funding.
It will also continue to host and support the Charity Hall of Fame, helping it to become an established source of information and inspiration that will help inspire future generations of community change-makers.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company 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 these 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 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DO-IT TRUST
Year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 12.
Where the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company 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 your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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
-
the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information, scope and basis of the financial statements
DO-IT Trust is a registered charity, established as a company limited by guarantee in England with the company number 05871095. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered and principal office is given in the charity information page of these financial statements and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed in the trustees' report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 , UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and the provisions for small entities under FRS 102 1A and therefore do not include a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
It is categorised under the following headings:
● Raising funds; includes costs associated with seeking donations and fundraising events and initiatives

DO-IT TRUST (operating as Do IT Foundation)
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2025
● Charitable activities; includes all costs incurred in undertaking activities that further the charity's aims for the benefit of beneficiaries
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs
Governance costs are any costs associated with the strategic as opposed to day-to-day management of the charity’s activities. These costs include the cost of any administrative support provided to the trustees such as external audit, legal advice for trustees and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Taxation
