## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the Year Ended 27 September 2021**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 27 September 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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**
## **History, Objectives and Activities**
The charity was registered on 13th January 2009. In 2013 the charity was rebranded as the Starr Trust.
The aim of the Starr Trust is to remove roadblocks for young people and help them achieve their goals. We do this by giving out financial grants and offering mentoring opportunities.
We are an independent, family run charity, based in the BN postcode area of the UK, which supports young people aged 10 - 25 to fulfil their potential in sports, arts and education at a time when they really need it.
We provide:
Financial Awards - financial grants of up to £5,000 for individual young people and up to £10,000 for specific projects.
We support young people living in the Greater Brighton area of the UK as well as national and international projects as long as there is a link to Greater Brighton.
We do this through local fundraising, events, creating local networks of mentors and other interested professionals, providing opportunities for training and skills sharing and connecting communities locally and around the world.
We aim to encourage independent thinking, entrepreneurship and a social conscience in young people through all our activities.
We believe in a world in which young people are supported to achieve their fullest potential; where they flourish as individuals whilst making a positive contribution to their community and in turn are recognised for their achievements. We rely on the energy and generosity of all our supporters and guarantee to turn their donation into an amazing opportunity for a local person.
A list of all our Young Starrs can be found at http://www.starrtrust.org
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
Like most charities 2021 continued to be another tough year for fundraising.
During the early part of 2021 we decided to refresh and rebrand the charity and created a new logo and strapline that reflected the fact that we are now in our 14th year and well established.
Our new strapline is "Removing Roadblocks for Young People" We have changed the age range to 10 to 25 and have added group funding. We feel these changes will address many more issues that young people face today as well as all the challenges that may exist post pandemic. We hope that the Starr Trust will continue to be a beacon of light for young people and will challenge them to be the best that they can be no matter what situation they find themselves in.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The Starr Trust will steer our Young Starrs through the post pandemic landscape.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Starr Trust**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Starr Trust**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Starr Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 27 September 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
