**The Starr Trust** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 27 September 2022** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year  ended  27 September 2022.  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** 

The year 2022 was another exciting one for the charity as we had a number of events, both existing and new, and raised more money in donations than in previous years. Events included our annual Bike Ride, which this year was in France and took the cyclist over Le Mont Ventoux, plus our Golf Days including our Women Only Golf Day, and our Winter Ball which was a sold out event months before it happened. Also our Chairman Rob Starr completed his 52 * 52 Triathlon Challenge, which meant he completed a full Olympic distance triathlon every single week for the whole of the year.We also managed to secure a number of new corporate sponsors, which will

enable the fund raising to continue throughout 2022 and well in to 2023.With all the funds raised we were able to support more applications to young people than ever before as well as offering financial assistance to local groups who fit into our remit of Removing Roadblocks for Young People.

**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 2022. 

## **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.
