Context

About Fight for Peace

Fight for Peace supports young people to reach their full potential. We do this by providing access to the opportunities, support and safe environment that any young person needs to thrive, and by using a public health approach to violence prevention.

We deliver our mission via three strategic focuses:

Informed by a public health approach and adapted to the different contexts in which we work, our programmes are designed to meet the needs of every young person in the community. Within this, we also focus on working intensively with individuals or groups identified as being at risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of violence. And we support young people most at risk of harm, or causing harm, to disengage from violence, and work to prevent them reoffending or being victimised again.

Activities for the public benefit

We have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Activities undertaken in 2023 for the public benefit included:

1. Delivering sports, employability, youth support services and youth leadership programmes at the Fight for Peace Academy to young people.

2. Providing training and support Fight for Peace Alliance members in the UK and internationally to build their organisational and programming capacity, based on the Fight for Peace methodology.

3. Leading the Fight for Peace Alliance to strengthen and scale programmes for young people in communities impacted by inequality and violence, sharing practice and providing training.

4. Leading Collectives programmes - which draw on collective impact methodology - in London and Jamaica.

Overview of Organisation Performance

Following extremely testing years brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the face of a cost of living crisis and inflationary pressures, 2023 was a year in which, again, our organisation, young people, colleagues and supporters had to show great strength and resilience.

Our values of Embracing, Champion, Solidarity, Courage and Inspiring were core to us facing the financial challenges and fills me with a profound sense of pride and admiration.

During the year we embarked on a restructuring of our leadership team where interim CEO, Tracy Pepper, laid the foundations for the organisation to adhere to strict financial discipline given continued tough market conditions. We appointed Lee Hemmings in October to take on the role of CEO full time and continue to lead the organisation with vigorous financial scrutiny whilst allowing our services to strengthen and flourish.

As ever, our committed staff and young people led the way on many of the things that delivered transformation in 2023. This included using the demonstration of sporting excellence and coupled creative skills to amplify the many positive stories of our organisation, and leading funding and delivery of initiatives in the communities that we serve.

Through the generosity of our donors we have upgraded the facilities at our Newham Academy allowing for greater services to be delivered in the area of sport. Combat Sports sit as one the core services offered as part of our 5 pillar methodology with is installed and drives our organisation.

Working with young people, we continue to support them in the areas of education where, as simple as it sounds, our homework club is changing the mindset of young people and creating a positive attitude offered in our safe space . Our youth led creative content team have not only enhanced our communications effort but delivered on skills for young people who are creating first class media content enhancing their employability opportunities.

Our Personal development sessions continue to enrich the lives of young people and our female only Lutadoras and Man Talk initiatives form part of our delivery that is echoed through our programme. All our services have heavy involvement and influence from our Youth Leadership group who continue to support and drive initiatives in our organisation.

Our Alliance programme and position as a Sport England Partner allows us to share our methodology across the UK, supporting and strengthening other sports clubs, national governing bodies and communities. Our Collectives programme allows us to work with other organisations and charity partners to again strengthen communities. We are particularly proud of the work we do across the borough of Newham and as far as Kingston in Jamaica.

I want to express our sincere gratitude to all of our loyal partners and supporters who have been with us throughout the year. I’d also like to extend my sincere thanks to Andrea Sinclair who as an outgoing trustee has served the organisation for 15 years and Tracy Pepper who steered the organisation for the first half of the year. Thank you all, without you none of our work would be possible.

Financial landscape

The 2023 financial landscape continued to be challenging. During the year staffing levels have been reduced, nonessential expenditure removed and income generation and diversification has been a constant focus.

We have achieved income of £1.934m in 2023, reduced from 2022 (£2.376m), spending on charitable activities has remained constant at £2.265m, marginally increased from 2022 (£2.209m) in order to fulfil restricted grant conditions.

Our reserves position remains comfortable with restricted reserves decreasing to £446k (2022 £734k), a decrease of £288k and total unrestricted and designated reserves remain constant at £2.550m ( 2022 £2.594m) , of which free reserves are £174k. Whilst free reserves remain lower than desired they are still in excess of the funds required to meet the wind down policy and provide 4.8 months of unrestricted spend.

The Fundraising and Income Generation landscape remains competitive. We ended 2023 with a significant pipeline of bids and actively diversified our income generation to target new income areas such as corporate engagement and working with schools. We continue to work actively with our existing partners to deliver our strategic goals. This includes the development of long-term strategic partnerships, including building on our relationship with Sport England as a national partner working to improve the 'sport for development' sector across the country.

The financial position remains challenging, although it continues to improve despite free reserves being lower than Trustees would like. We have continued to reduce our core costs in the year, without impacting our delivery targets . This remains a core focus of 2024. We are reasonably confident that free reserves will continue to improve under careful stewardship.

Although leaner, we maintained high-quality personal development, employability, and sports services for young people at our London Academy and achieved excellent outcomes with our Fight for Peace Alliance and Collectives partners across the UK and internationally.

MY HISTORY ENCOURAGED ME AND BROUGHT ME INTO YOUTH WORK: ZAYNAB’S STORY

Zaynab is a shining light at Fight for Peace, and after being referred to our Academy last year, she has progressed leaps and bounds in her growth and development, recently becoming a Volunteer Youth Worker at Fight for Peace, providing support and guidance to her peers.

Alongside studying Business Level 3 at college, Zaynab is also a valued member of Fight for Peace’s youth leadership group Youth Power, as well as being a Young Creative and a key part of the women-only personal development group Lutadoras. Here she shares some of her journey so far, and her optimism for the future!

I was referred to Fight for Peace to support my mental health, and once I got here I just felt the atmosphere. To me it felt different to the outside world.

I saw the impact it had on me with all the support I had from everyone. Lutadoras has helped me a lot, too. My experience at secondary school wasn’t great, so it helped me to know how to get out of toxic relationships and know when enough is enough. It also gave me the experience of having a girl friend group.

The wide age range means I learn a lot from the older girls, and I can help those younger than me. I used to help out a lot, so I thought why don’t I take this further?

I’ve always wanted to do a job that helps people, maybe a teacher or a midwife. But after I came to Fight for Peace, everything just changed.

I used to get asked, ‘what do you want to do in the future?’ Then my answer started changing to a youth worker. I had conversations with people and Leo helped me start a Level 1 Youth Work training course, and then I started volunteering.

I thought, I can do the same thing with other young people because there’s not a lot of people who reach out for help. When I did, I got the support that I needed and wanted. I’d like to use my experiences to help others and help to get them in a better place than they were.

I’m a Volunteer Youth Worker now, which is great! I do inductions for new Fight for Peace members, and I do 1:1s with other young people. I want to be able to help other people in a similar situation to the one I was in.

There’s not a lot of people who speak up, and me being younger may make it easier for young people to open up to me, so I thought let me just share my experiences and we can work together to get them to the best version of themselves.

My history encouraged me and brought me into youth work, and Fight for Peace is a safe place for me, so I wanted to be able to give that opportunity to other young people and let them know they have a safe space, too.

Financial review

Reserves Policy

The Fight for Peace reserves policy is designed to provide the charity with a robust financial platform from which to manage known and unforeseen challenges it may face . The policy is informed by Fight for Peace's values and an understanding of our risk profile. Fight for Peace reserves are made up of unrestricted funds sourced from earned income, unrestricted donations, and savings made against previous project budgets where the funder has agreed that Fight for Peace can use the savings as reserves.

The unrestricted free reserves fund consists of sufficient reserves to ensure Fight for Peace can undertake the following responsibilities:

1. Pay redundancies in the event of downsizing or closure.

2. Pay legal and financial advisors to advise on the closing down / downsizing process, plus two key administration staff to manage the process.

3. Retain a small management taskforce for 4 months, designed to save the organisation in extreme circumstances.

Redundancy payments will be calculated at the statutory rate. Amounts will be calculated as of 31 December of the following year to ensure adequate funds to make redundancy payments through the year ahead. The reserves fund is monitored on a monthly basis by the executive team and presented to Trustees on a quarterly basis.

The minimum unrestricted reserve level required for 2023 is £130k. Actual free reserves at year end were £174k which equates to 4.8 months of unrestricted expenditure cover.

Designated funds for the year were £2.31m (2022: £2.42m) which reflects the value of the assets including its buildings that were gifted to Fight for Peace International when it merged with Fight for Peace UK in 2019.

Going Concern

The trustees have assessed the financial position of the charity and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. This assessment has been made based on the following factors:

  1. Financial Review and Projections : The trustees have reviewed the charity’s financial position, including its reserves, cash flow, and income forecasts. Detailed financial projections have been prepared for the next 12 months, which include consideration of the charity’s ongoing commitments and expected income streams. The trustees are satisfied that the charity will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.

  2. Income and Fundraising : The charity has a diversified income base, including donations, grants, and contracts, which provide stability in funding. The trustees have also considered the risks of any potential reduction in income and have plans in place to manage any such eventualities.

  3. Risk Management : The trustees regularly review key financial and operational risks, and steps have been taken to mitigate these risks.

  4. Reserves: The trustees have reviewed the charity’s reserves policy and are confident that the current level of reserves is appropriate to support the charity’ s ongoing operations and potential contingencies.

Based on the above considerations, the trustees have concluded that the charity is a going concern and can continue its activities for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, the financial statements have been

15

Fight for Peace International

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 December 2023

prepared on the going concern basis.

The trustees will continue to closely monitor the financial situation and take appropriate actions as necessary to ensure the charity remains in a strong position to fulfil its mission.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The trustees (who are also directors of the organisation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law required the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which 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 the income and expenditure, of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group 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.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

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

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Fight for Peace International

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Fight for Peace International (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the group and parent charitable company balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the group financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Fight for Peace International 's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the group financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the group financial statements does not cover the other information, and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of

17

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Fight for Peace International

assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the group financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the group financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view,

To the members of

Fight for Peace International

and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charites Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

19

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Fight for Peace International

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities . This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2023

1 Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

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

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charitable company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fight for Peace Trading Limited on a line by line basis. Transactions and balances between the charitable company and its subsidiary have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Balances between the two companies are disclosed in the notes of the charitable company's balance sheet. A separate statement of financial activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charitable company itself is not presented because the charitable company has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

b) Statutory information

c) Public benefit entity

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the charity will continue to operate for the foreseeable future.

The trustees have assessed the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, considering a period of at least 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements. This assessment involved a detailed review of the charity’s current financial position, cash flow forecasts, anticipated income streams, and future funding commitments.

The trustees are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the trustees have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

e) Income Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

f) Donations of gifts, services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

g) Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

24

1 Accounting policies (continued)

h) Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

i) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is 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 of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

j) Grants payable

Grants payable are made to third parties in furtherance of the charity's objects. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the charity.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

k) Allocation of support costs

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

l) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

m) Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £200. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

� Computer Equipment 3 years � Furniture & Fixtures 3 years � Building 25 years

n) Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are at cost.

p) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users.

q) 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 of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due

r) Financial Instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value

s) Foreign currency translations

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the average rate of exchange for the year. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net incoming resources for the year.
