## **Leaders In Community Limited** 

## **Trustees' Report** 

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

Leaders in Community (LiC) is a youth-led charity, set up by young people for young people by providing avenues where they are able to build their own success. 

Our creative programmes aim to inspire and empower young people to take up leadership and management roles in decision making structures in our local communities i.e. by becoming representatives on local boards such as Youth Estate Boards, Youth Governance Panels, and consultation panels, and by setting up and delivering social action and community cohesion events. By participating fully in society, young people will improve the quality of life for themselves, their loved ones, their peers, will gain essential life skills and be better prepared for employment. We aim to enable young people to have more ownership over access to local resources and a say in how they are run, as well as provide access to employment opportunities that they may not be able to access otherwise. 

We also aim to ensure young people, especially those who are marginalised, are acknowledged as valuable and active members of the community. LiC work for young people who face challenges mainly due to growing up in areas of high deprivation. Most of the young people we work with are from Black, Asian, and mixed heritage backgrounds; the majority of our service beneficiaries are of predominantly Bangladeshi origin. 

LiC operates in a part of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets where most wards rank within the 10% most deprived, and the majority of our ethnically diverse population are from Bangladeshi backgrounds. Our overarching aim is to inspire and empower local young people to be active and vocal contributors to the social, economic and cultural well-being of their community. In 2018 we won a Queen’s Award for our high-quality work supporting vulnerable young people. 

We achieve our aims by running a programme of activities with two clear themes: Youth Leadership and Youth Social Action. 

‘Youth Leadership’ provides accredited skills training, and work experience. It matches young people with inspirational mentors and supports them to take up positions on decision-making forums which feed into the way our area is run. 

‘Youth Social Action’ provides tangible opportunities for young people to identify and tackle issues which matter to them most. Our clear USP is that the journeys undertaken by young people participating in our programme are designed by them from start to finish, and result in them being equipped to become social activists and take up leadership roles. 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

The Trustees believe that the activities undertaken within the Charity, to fulfil its aims and objectives, are done so to further the public benefit. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

## **Financial review** 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

As at 31 March 2025, the charity has funds amounting to £203,085 of which £54,300 is restricted, leaving £148,785 of unrestricted funds. Taking into account the designated fund and value of fixed assets, the charity has available funds of £138,428.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

LiC operates a selection criterion for recruiting members onto the Board of Trustees so as to ensure that their skills and experience reflect the governance and operational needs of the organisation. Prospective members are interviewed by LiC’s Selection Committee, which includes at least three Board members. On selection, references will be taken up as to their suitability prior to a vote. 

## _**Major risks and management of those risks**_ 

## _Funding and projects_ 

The trustees meet regularly to discuss the risks faced by the charity, particularly issues over securing funding and the undertaking of specific projects. The trustees aim to mitigate the risks by seeking funding from a number of sources and regularly review the progress on projects to ensure that the objects are being met. 

## **Small companies provision statement** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

## **Leaders In Community Limited** 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Leaders In Community Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 its 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 apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- 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 that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

Approved by the trustees of the charity on 22 December 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Leaders In Community Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s 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 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 Company'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 Lambert Chapman LLP, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Leaders In Community Limited as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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 

4. 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.

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

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 (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Leaders In Community Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

The charity has an income level below the threshold at which a cash flow statement is required. 

## **Judgements** 

Apart from those judgements involving estimations, the management team have not made any judgements in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the accounts. 

## **Key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

There are no key assumptions concerning the future or other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

## **Leaders In Community Limited** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## _**Other trading activities**_ 

Other trading activities includes the sale of honey, which is made by bees held on site and is recognised on a receivable basis. 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Investment income includes bank interest received which is recognised when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Income from charitable activities includes money received from the hire of the hall (the letting of non-investment property in furtherance of charitable purposes) and performance level grants where the income is conditional upon delivering certain levels of service. 

## _**Other income**_ 

Other income is made up of miscellaneous income including employer's allowance. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Page 10 



## **Leaders In Community Limited** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examiner's fees. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Furniture and equipment 25% straight line 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and amounts held in the bank account. 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
