1.Accounting
policies
Company
Information
Lessons for Life Foundation
(the "Company" ) is a private company
incorporated,
domiciled
and registered
in England
in the
UK. The registered number
is 6448222 and the registered
address
is 33Creechurch
Lane, London,
England,
EC3A SEB.
a. Basis of preparation
The financial statements
have been prepared
in accordance
with the Financial
Reporting Standard
applicable
in the
UK and Republic of Ireland (The FRS
102Charities
SORP including
update
Bulletin 2) and the requirements
ofthe Companies
Act 2006.The Charitable
Company
and its subsidiary are a
public benefit group for the purposes of FRS102and therefore the Charity also prepared
its financial statements
in
accordance with the 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
(The FRS102Charities SORP including
update
Bulletin 2),the Companies
Act 2006 and the Charities Act
2011.
The financial statements
are prepared
in sterling,
which
is the functional
currency ofthe charity. Monetary
amounts
in these financial statements are
rounded to the nearest one pound.
These financial statements
are prepared
on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
The principal
accounting
policies are set out below.
Group financial statements
The Group comprise
I essons for
I ife and
I essons for
I ife Trading
Limited.
The assets, liabilities
and results ofthe wholly owned subsidiary
company
Lessons for Life Trading
Limited are consolidated
into
these financial statements
on a line by line basis. Summarised
details ofthe subsidiary
charity are set out in Note 21.
b. Going concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use ofthe going concern basis is appropriate
and have considered
possible
events or conditions that might cast
significant
doubt on the ability ofthe charity to continue
as a going concern.
The Trustees have made this assessment
for a period ofat least one year from the date of approval
ofthe financial
statements.
The charity entered the financial year 2021/22 with reserves ofE1,101,931and at 31March 2022 had unrestricted reserves of6408,533.This is ahead
ofthe target reserves ofthe charity.
In assessing whether
Lessons for Life Foundation
is a going concern, the Trustees have also considered
the reserves
ofthe Street Child charitable group,
ofwhich the charity
is a wholly owned subsidiary.
The trustees
have considered
the group forecasts and projections
and have taken account of
pressures
on donation
and grant income and cash flow for 12 months
from the date ofapproval
ofthe financial statements,
the associated assumptions
that under-pin
it, the pipeline of new income and the steps that could be taken to reduce expenditure
should this be necessary.
The Trustees are satisfied that the group has sufficient resources to continue
in operational
existence for the foreseeable future.
The group has a loyal
donor base and a significant
grant pipeline. Annual
budgets
include prudent
figures for both income and expenditure
and the charity holds significant
reserves
and has liquid assets in the form of cash held
in short term deposits.
The Trustees have concluded that with the reserves
policy and cash liquidity
requirements
ofthe charity together
with the
commitment ofsupport
received from Street Child, the ultimate
controlling
party, there are no material
uncertainties
as to the charity's
ability to continue
in operational
existence for the foreseeable
future.
The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing
its financial statements.

e. Fund accounting
Unrestricted
funds are available to spend on activities that further
any ofthe charitable
objectives ofthe charity.
Restricted
funds are donations
which the donor has specified are to be spent on specific
activities ofthe charity. A full breakdown
ofthe restricted
funds
ofthe charity can be found
in note 14ofthe financial statements.
f.Expenditure
and irrecoverable
VAT
Expenditure
is only 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 ofthe obligation
can be measured
reliably. Expenditure
is classified under the following
activity headings:
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of all fundraising
activities and an allocation ofsupport costs.
-Charitable
activities comprise
all grants and costs reimbursed
to partners
in Africa, the
direct costs of managing
those
programmes and an allocation of
support costs. These are further
split between the three main areas of our programmatic
work.
Irrecoverable
VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure
was
incurred.
g. Grants to partners
Grant agreements
consist of both a committed
element
and a performance-related
element.
As a result the committed
element
(the
first payment of
every grant) is recognised
as expenditure
when the grant
is signed, and any amount
not
paid at year end is recognised as a liability on the balance sheet.
The performance
related elements
(all other payments)
are only recognised
once the relevant conditions
are met by the partner organisation.
Any
amounts
where conditions
have not been met at year end but still may be met at a later
date are recognised
as a contingent
liability in note 18ofthe
financial statements.
h. Allocation ofsupport costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work ofthe charity but do not directly undertake
charitable
activities.
These include finance, personnel,
payroll, governance
and management
costs. These costs have been allocated between costs of raising funds and expenditure
on charitable activities.
The basis on which support costs have been allocated
is set out in note 6.
i.Tangible fixed assets
All tangible fixed assets costing more then ES,000are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation,
with depreciation
provided
at rates calculated to write
offthe costs of asset less
any residual
value over their useful economic life on a straight
line basis.
j. Debtors and prepayments
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.
k. 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 offunds to
a third party and the amount
due to settle the obligation
can be measured
or estimated
reliably. Creditors and provisions
are
recognised
at
their settlement
amount
after allowing for any trade discounts due.
I. Foreign exchange transactions
Foreign exchange income and expenditure
transactions
are recognised
at the going rate
on the date ofthe transaction occurring.
Any balance sheet amounts
outstanding
on the reporting date have been retranslated
at
the going rate as per Bloomberg on 31March 2021.
m. Pensions
All employees
are entitled to join a defined contribution
pension scheme which
is funded
by contributions
from both the employee
and employer.
Total employer
contributions
due in the period were f10,649(2021:f12,807)with f3,494(2021:f1,982) outstanding
at year end.
n. Legal status

is company
limited
by guarantee
and has no share capital, with Company
Number 06448222 and
Charity Number 1122320.
The liability ofeach member
in the event ofwinding-up
is limited to 610.
Iessons for
I ife Foundation
is the sole member of Iessons for
I ife Trading Company
Limited, a company
limited
by guarantee
and registered with
Companies
House
in England
and Wales with Company
Number 09943198.
o.Gift Aid
Gift Aid payments
from
Iessons for
I ife Trading Company
I imited to the charity are accounted for in the charity when
they are paid.
p. Critical accounting
estimates
and judgements
Estimates
and judgements
are continually
evaluated
and are based on historical
experience
and other factors, including
expectations offuture events
that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances.
The company
makes estimates
and assumptions
concerning the
future. The resulting
accounting
estimates
will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results.
It is in the opinion ofthe Directors that there
are no estimates and
assumptions
that have a significant
risk ofcausing a material
adjustment
ofthe carrying
amounts
ofassets and liabilities
within the next financial year.
