Despite it being a difficult time for charities, particularly for fundraising, where many are facing closure, we haven't just kept our work going, but continued to grow as an organisation, developing new partnerships and opportunities. This year our focus has been on youth voice - core to everything that we do, we strongly believe that young people need to be at the forefront, driving our mission to end youth violence. Seeing the growth of previous beneficiaries, coming through our programme, becoming volunteers then staff within the organisation or beyond, is huge, cementing belief in our approach. Key highlights for me this year include Chicago Bears week, not only all the great community events that we supported on, but their owners and staff coming to Dexters, along with a group from Players' Coalition to volunteer and see first-hand what we do. Our shared values around community engagement are clear and I'm excited to do more together in future, growing the game and partnering on opportunities further afield. Our Summer Reception as always, was a great occasion, seeing our partners, young people and community coming together is incredibly heart-warming, a chance to reflect and celebrate our achievements. We are deeply grateful and humbled by continued support for our mission, from all different sectors. Without you we would not be able to continue our mission to end youth violence and leave a positive, everlasting impact on the next generation. As we look to 2025 and our 17th year as a registered charity, we are excited for what the next 12 months will bring. There is still so much more to do. Together, we'll continue to create opportunities for young people to thrive and build brighter futures.

In the last few years alone, they have navigated a global pandemic, a huge rise in the cost of living and an increasingly competitive fundraising environment. The lasting impact of all of these is still being felt, particularly by young people, for whom, all too often, it manifests itself in their mental health and well-being, and/or behaviour. BIGKID's mission is to provide young people with a safe space to help them take control of their lives, find, develop, and act on their own potential. These are vital antidotes to the hectic world in which we live. Our facilities offer a place where young people can find someone to talk to if they need, a hot meal, positive interactions and support. BIGKID reminds me of my own experiences as a teenager growing up in Nottingham in the 1960s. It was my good fortune to receive the support of many whose only motivation was to support my personal development. As we welcome the new year, there is much to look forward to. I am immensely grateful to the committed and passionate team at BIGKID and to our many funders and supporters. I have absolute confidence that together, they will continue to ensure that the positive power of community defeats the many divisive forces that haunt the streets of our great capital city.

The articles of association require one-third of trustee directors to retire at each AGM, but they may propose themselves for re-election. ## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees** Trustees are appointed in accordance with the provision of the charity's memorandum and articles of association. ## **Trustee Induction and Training** The induction process for any newly-appointed trustee comprises an initial meeting with the existing trustees. The induction process covers the powers and responsibilities of the trustee board, copy board minutes, a copy of the last three years' annual reports and accounts, a copy of the governing documents and a copy of the Charity Commission's guidance 'The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know'. ## **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 put in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company's memorandum of association are: - To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 years living in London by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities; and - The relief of financial hardship, in particular by providing educational programmes designed to advance people in life. ## **Public Benefit Statement** The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. ## **Who We Are** : Mission To end youth violence. ## Vision BIGKID equips young people at risk of social exclusion and youth violence to take control of their lives, find, develop and act on their own potential. ## Values Respect, Leadership, Education, Change. ## **What We Do:** ## _**Community Engagement**_ Our community engagement programme aims to engage young people with needs-led activities in the heart of London communities.

We live in a society where we sadly hear more about youth violence than celebrating the good that many are doing. With the aim of changing that narrative we are giving our young people a platform where they can visualise and act on those visions whilst inspiring their peers to unlock their undiscovered skills and realise that their voice matters too. With the emergence of our new Media Department headed by Dellali Defor and assisted by Omari Hunte, BIGKID has produced an array of content over the course of 2024 that has seen our young people step in front of camera for the first time, share their story and what it means to be a BIGKID. ## Some stories included: "Road to Orlando" followed Jonathan Mbanefo's journey in American Football from humble beginnings in Sedge Hill school in Lewisham to competing in a 1v1 tournament in Tottenham stadium which earned him a place in finals taking place in Orlando. This was an inspiring piece, highlighting the incredible opportunities this sport can bring. "Kingsley & The NFL Academy" followed Kingsley Eke, who started off as one of our beneficiaries who had never played American Football before but found himself quickly having a deep passion for it and making it into the illustrious NFL Academy. Our "Sailing Vlog" was shot in a way that captured, first-hand, the unforgettable moments from our annual sailing trip to Aldeburgh Yacht Club. Following our young people, we were able to dive into a journey where our youth braved the waters, conquered their anxieties, and found joy in every wave. "Being on set gave me a firsthand look at the intricate teamwork and preparation that goes into each On a mission to End Youth Violence **5** 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 ## **BigKid Foundation** ## **Company Limited by Guarantee** ## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ ## **Year ended 31 December 2024** scene, which is something I never fully understood before. I gained a deep appreciation for the craft of acting-how every choice, no matter how small, impacts the overall performance. It was an incredibly rewarding experience, seeing the collaborative effort of everyone involved and feeling the magic of bringing a story to life." - Jerelyn 2024 saw our leadership programme for girls, funded by Jo Malone, turn into an incredible short film "Kali" where some of our girl's stepped in front of camera for the very first time and unlocked their hidden acting talents. The film was not only a reflection of their hard work and commitment over several weeks, it was a beautiful journey that saw the girls build lasting and positive relationships with each other, bonds built on trust, moments of vulnerability and a shared goal to prove to themselves that together they are powerful and can achieve anything they put their mind to. ## **Sailing** Each year during the last week of May we take a group of our young people on our annual sailing residential, hosted by our incredible friends at Aldeburgh Yacht Club in Suffolk. It's a week that not only challenges our young people's fears but ultimately builds lasting and unbreakable bonds between them. We were honoured to watch our young people conquer their fears, embrace the waves of the water, and emerge as confident leaders. Their journey from trepidation to triumph was nothing short of inspiring to us and each other. As each one challenged their fear, it encouraged their peers to do the same. This programme wasn't just about sailing and who could go the week without capsizing; it was about building character, fostering teamwork, and most importantly, having endless fun. Their shared smiles, laughter, and newfound friendships were a testament to the unforgettable experience we shared. "Sailing has had a positive impact on me as it's pushed me out of my comfort zone to try new things as I have never been sailing before. I met new people that are a part of BIGKID's other departments and became closer to them making more close friends. I got to try something that I never saw myself ever doing. I have to give a huge thank you to Omari, Marina and Esosa who made this trip 10x better with all the singing and dancing we did!" - Natalie ## **Stepping into the spotlight** Amy, 17, grew up in South London and lives in Brixton-an area she describes as sometimes intimidating but always full of new experiences. Currently in sixth form, Amy first encountered BIGKID Foundation in 2019 when staff ran football sessions at her school. However, it wasn't until 2023 that she started attending our youth club, where she found both physical and mental support, as well as a new community of friends. Her journey with BIGKID has led her to unexpected opportunities, including stepping in front of the camera for our "Kali" short film and a sailing documentary. "At first, it was nerve-wracking, but I got over it and had loads of fun acting," she reflects. Her confidence has since skyrocketed-once uncomfortable in the spotlight, she now embraces it fully. "I used to hate being on camera, but now I always want to be on camera." Amy's parents were incredibly proud of her role in Kali, with her dad still sharing it with family members. Through BIGKID, she has developed leadership and communication skills, helping her overcome fears and step into new opportunities. Looking ahead, she hopes to pursue a career in the arts, football, or content creation. Her advice to others? "Be yourself, be unique, be different." ## **Miles with a purpose** In 2024, BIGKID once again took on the Royal Parks Half Marathon, continuing our tradition of challenging ourselves while raising vital funds to end youth violence. Inspired by last year's efforts, Omari was determined to run again-especially after missing out on the Brighton Marathon due to a broken ankle.

At BIGKID, we strive to inspire and uplift one another, encouraging young people to push beyond their limits and embrace new challenges. Last year, Thierri's journey motivated Omari, and this year, Omari passed that inspiration forward, encouraging Dellali to take on his first half marathon-bringing along a group of friends to join the cause. With five dedicated runners, this was our largest team yet at a single event, demonstrating the strength of our community and the growing commitment to our mission. Seeing so many young people and supporters step up for BIGKID is not just inspiring-it's a testament to the impact we are making in the fight against youth violence. Their combined efforts raised almost £1000 towards our cause! ## **Liam** Liam, 18, grew up and still lives in Lewisham, an area he describes as having both good and bad aspects. Currently studying at college, Liam first got involved with BIGKID Foundation through our Flag Football sessions at his school. Over the past four years, he has attended both Flag Football and Youth Club sessions, taken part in multiple NFL events, and even had the opportunity to go sailing this year. Through BIGKID, Liam has built trusted friendships beyond his usual circles, improving his social and leadership skills. "I have made friends with not just my age group, which I wouldn't have normally done," he shares. Liam expresses that being involved with BIGKID has also given him a safe space during difficult times at home and helped him manage his emotions through sports. Looking ahead, Liam aspires to work in the creative industry, planning to achieve this through networking and earning a degree. His advice to others in need of support: "Don't be afraid to open up to someone, as you are never alone. There's so many people within BIGKID that you can go to for advice, mental support and anything that may be bothering you." For Liam, BIGKID has been more than just a charity-it's been a place of growth, connection, and opportunity. ## **A Story From Fear To Empowerment** Helping young people unlock and act on their potential and challenge their fears is at the heart of what we do. We can all agree that it's a very moving moment when you see a young person who was once grappled by a fear now relish in those exact moments. In October all of BIGKID proudly witnessed several inspiring moments of growth as Omari, who was once a beneficiary now turned staff, take the stage as a panel member at Kings College London to share his insights on mental health and inequalities, then go live on air on Capital Xtra & LBC to share his remarkable journey with BIGKID and why he chooses to give back to the coming generations. Together with our CEO, Omari was also a part of a round table discussion on knife crime, organised by actor Idris Elba, hosted and attended by HRH King Charles III, which also saw attendance from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and many more, where he impactfully shared his story and solutions to reducing knife crime. Just over a year ago Omari was plagued by the fear of public speaking, which held him back from sharing his powerful and inspiring voice. Determined to not be confined by this barrier, Omari put himself in situations to shadow our CEO Shaninga at events, seek guidance and support from the BIGKID team where he gained the belief in his message, which in all helped Omari transform that fear into strength. "I can't thank BIGKID enough for the belief they've instilled in me to help me conquer this fear that has been following me since I was in year 8. Realising that for many their voice is never heard or thought of, for me to be a voice for the youth in so many impactful rooms such as His Majesty's Throne Room On a mission to End Youth Violence **7** 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 ## **BigKid Foundation** ## **Company Limited by Guarantee** ## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ ## **Year ended 31 December 2024** and live on air has been not only a privilege but something I hold close to my heart." ## **Flag Football** It was a busy year for Flag where we delivered in several new schools and started all girl sessions. The girls were by far the shining light of last year. The girls from St. Mary Magdalene joined the Jets vs Bears league. They excelled across the board and made it all the way to the finals and were crowned 2nd in the country. Legends Of The Turf returned, but with a flip of an all-woman cast. This brought on an introspective chat about sport through their eyes from both a flag and contact perspective. The week that was dubbed 'Bears Week' was filled with non-stop action and excitement. This covered the girls international flag championships, to watching our beneficiaries at NFL Academy play at Tottenham Stadium! Moving on to working with the Chicago Bears at their Mini Monsters camps. The Bears also came down to Dexters to volunteer with their Chairman and the Players' Coalition. Before leaving they donated an incredible $10,000! Our young people then all flocked to Tottenham stadium to participate in an NFL event where they got to play on the field and meet and talk with the commissioner of the NFL Roger Goddell. Things wrapped up when we were invited to Kennington Park by the NFL for a special visit from HRH Prince William. Our ambassador Efe Obada ran his yearly camp, this time at Kennington Park. It was filled with a plethora of activities from a barber to a caricature artist. As always, the camp was packed with young people from all over the capital who were mesmerised, leaving with new inspiration for the sport. We cannot wait for the camp next year! 85% Feel better able to manage their mental health 86% Feel less lonely and isolated 86% Feel as though their wellbeing has improved ## **A New Game, A New Dream** Enriqué, 19, grew up in Southwark, southeast London, and still calls it home, though he now studies in Loughborough. His journey with BIGKID Foundation began in December 2022, when a friend encouraged him to join flag football sessions. Since then, he has participated in numerous NFLrelated events, including Jag Tag, ambassador Efe Obada's Camps, and our Larkhall sessions, which have played a crucial role in shaping his development as an athlete. Through BIGKID's flag football program and his involvement with the South London Renegades, Enriqué found a space where he could express himself through American Football while competing in a structured and supportive environment. These experiences ultimately paved the way for him to join the NFL Academy, where he now competes against some of the top high school football programs in America and Europe. For Enriqué and his family, this opportunity means everything. "I'm in a place where I can change my life and work towards a D1 Scholarship at an American college, playing at the highest level possible." His ultimate goal is to secure that scholarship and use his NFL Academy experience to propel his football career and future. His advice to young people hoping to follow in his footsteps? "Experience new things, embrace opportunities, and always give your best effort-you never know who is watching." ## **Breaking Barriers** Our highly acclaimed programme continues to empower young people at risk of exclusion with the necessary leadership skills to be role models in their communities alongside confidence to act on their potential. This year we engaged multiple schools in three boroughs: Lambeth, Croydon and Wandsworth."I feel On a mission to End Youth Violence **8** 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 ## **BigKid Foundation** ## **Company Limited by Guarantee** ## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ ## **Year ended 31 December 2024** like I've improved in my reflectiveness." "I speak up more now, with my friends and family" "This programme has helped me encourage others in a positive way and be more punctual in school" ## **Youth Club** At BIGKID we are all about providing our young people with positive pathways. This year Youth Club saw an explosion in our beneficiaries becoming volunteers, achieving their 100 hours and progressing to be paid sessional staff. We are a genuinely youth-led charity, with our young leaders running activities, having a massive say in how things look and operate. This was only amplified with the addition of previous beneficiary Destiny (now studying Psychology & Neuroscience) to the team as our Health & & Well-being Officer. This saw massive change in some of the activities that we ran at Youth Club. There was a larger focus on art & crafts and baking which included a pasta-making class ran by Selina. We started E-sports which was a massive hit and started karaoke during which we found a few diamonds in the rough. One thing that has been a staple is a well-deserved water fight during the blazing heat in the summer. Not only did the youth club activities have a change but so did the trips. Our young people took on the Seven Sister peaks, had a careers day at Latham & Watkins, saw Hamilton, watched an MLB (Baseball), T20 (Cricket) and London Lions (Basketball) games amongst other trips. It really was a jam-packed year! "They listen to the youth and make activities based on what the youth are interested in as well as enjoy. They're fun and inclusive." 85% Feel they have someone they can go to if they need help 90% Feel less lonely and isolated 94% Rate Youth Club as very good or excellent ## **Football** Our football programme continues to engage young people through skill development, teamwork, and social interaction. Over the past year, we have strengthened our impact through partnerships, tournaments, and innovative initiatives. The Nike Battersea store supported our sessions by sending staff to assist and mentor participants, further enhancing their experience. We collaborated with London Youth for tournaments, giving boys and girls competitive opportunities. Internal tournaments with 4-6 teams fostered camaraderie, while friendly games with Marcus Lipton strengthened community ties. A highlight was attending Nike's Champions League viewing event in Battersea, inspiring our young players. We also introduced a fun coach swap event between flag football and traditional football, encouraging adaptability, at the same time as more integration across our programmes. To boost engagement beyond the pitch, we ran social media football challenges, showcasing young talent. Our partnership with Nike led to an exciting tournament with BIGKID, providing a professionally organised competition. Additionally, we organised a friendly match with the police, using sport to build trust and positive relationships within the community. These initiatives have expanded access to football, promoted inclusivity, and strengthened bonds among participants. Our programme continues to provide a platform for young people to develop their skills, confidence, and sense of belonging both on and off the pitch. 369 Unique beneficiaries attended our football programme.

This year's Aldeburgh Yacht Club dinner in April was a particular success, raising almost £23,000, more than ever before! We are so grateful to everyone who came, donated, bid and bought raffle tickets, we were truly bowled over by the generosity shown. Our Sounds Familiar quiz in July was another fun evening, filled with music and some impressive dance moves - congratulations to Kings College for coming out as winners! We rounded off the year in November, with our Cook Off event, co-hosted with the wonderful Livelyhood Pubs and dedicated Ambassador, Chef Michel Roux Jr. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous three-course meal and canapes, prepared (with more than a little help from Chef Nick Carter!) and served by a group of our young Chefs, who really rose to the occasion. ## Grants: Whilst it being an increasingly difficult environment for fundraising, particularly from grants, we were thrilled to secure new multi-year funding from National Lottery's Million Hours fund, to extend our youth club delivery to five nights a week, and from the Charles Hayward Foundation for a girls' Breaking Barriers with Flag programme. Huge thanks also to our statutory partners, particularly Lambeth Council, Department for Culture Media & Sport, and NHS Southeast for their continued support during 2024. ## Corporate Partnerships: Key highlights with our corporate partners include the amazing Jo Malone leadership programme, which culminated in the 'Kali' film project (see page 7 for more!) and growth of our engagement with PwC Uk to include a second business unit, alongside multiple fundraising initiatives raising over £5,000. October is always a busy week for BIGKID with the NFL teams in town. This year we spent an amazing week with the Chicago Bears, supporting their schools' engagement events. To end the week the Chicago Bears owners and group of employees came down to Dexters together with the Players' Coalition for a volunteer day, where they generously donated an incredible $10,000! If your company would like to get involved, get in touch to find out how. ## Monthly donors: A huge thanks to all of you who donate regularly to BIGKID, this helps immensely, directly supporting our core operations.

Expenditure was £641,069, resulting in a deficit for the year of £96,186. At 31 December 2024 net assets were £258,071, of which £73,827 is restricted for specific purposes and £184,244 is available for general purposes. The deficit for the year of £96,186 followed the 2023 surplus of £118,897. The 2023 accounts had included £82,200 of income which was received in January 2024 but was recognised in the 2023 accounts, consistent with the Charities SORP requirement to recognise income in the periods when it is promised, rather than when received. This had a positive effect on income and the surplus in 2023 but to the detriment of 2024. Taking the two periods together we achieved a surplus of £22,711. The fact that a deficit is reported for 2024 illustrates the need to both maintain existing funding sources and secure new funding sources, to enable us to continue our valuable work.

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 the year. 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; and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue on that basis. The trustees are responsible for maintaining 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. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** A resolution proposing that Andrew Upton be reappointed as independent examiner will be put to the trustees. The trustees' annual report and the strategic report were approved on 20 August 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: ……………………………………..

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 the charity’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** Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

General information** The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Dexters Adventure Playground, Montego Close, London, SE24 0LH. ## **2. Statement of compliance** These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', 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 (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006. ## **3. Accounting policies** ## **Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. ## **Going concern** There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. ## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** There are no significant judgements (apart from those involving estimates) that have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies on amounts recognised in the financial statements. There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. On a mission to End Youth Violence **18** 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 ## **BigKid Foundation** ## **Company Limited by Guarantee** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ ## **Year ended 31 December 2024** ## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ ## **Incoming resources** All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. ## **Resources expended** Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. ## **Tangible assets** Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. On a mission to End Youth Violence **19** 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 ## **BigKid Foundation** ## **Company Limited by Guarantee** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ ## **Year ended 31 December 2024** ## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ ## **Tangible assets** _**(continued)**_ An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. ## **Depreciation** Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 33% straight line ## **Impairment of fixed assets** A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. ## **Financial instruments** A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. On a mission to End Youth Violence **20** 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 ## **BigKid Foundation** ## **Company Limited by Guarantee** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ ## **Year ended 31 December 2024** ## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ ## **Financial instruments** _**(continued)**_ Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. ## **Defined contribution plans** Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises. ## **4. Limited by guarantee** The company is limited by guarantee and in consequence does not have share capital. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
