The Trustees present the report and financial statements of Code 7 for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, including the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2019). 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## Governing Document 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14 February 2005 and registered as a charity on 14 October 2010. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. 

## Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee 

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. 

New Appointed board members Nyal Cayenne is a newly appointed director (April 2018) and is the youngest member of the board at 21. A former service user at Code 7, he is studying at college and works as a self-employed businessman. Lee-Ann Law Lee-Ann is a business consultant and works in high level businesses and companies. She has intense experience of operating businesses, especially in terms

of project management and transfers her exceptional skills to ensure Code 7’s governance is regulated, monitored and evaluated thoroughly. 

All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses re-claimed from the charity are set out in the expenses note in the accounts. 

**Mr Stuart Lisbie** , **Miss Anne McGregor** , **Miss Fatmata Aniatu Kallay, Mr Nyal Cayenne** , **and Mrs Lee - Ann Law** retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. 

Due to the nature of mediation, the charity’s work inevitably focuses on young people. The Management Committee seeks to ensure that the needs of this group are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. To enhance the potential of the pool of trustees, the charity has, through selective advertising via word of mouth with young people, sought to identify the young people who show good potential and interest in becoming a future board member. 

Mr Joel Demming who was a previous member of the board and Mr Nyal Cayenne are prime examples, emerging from engaging as young men on workshops, then as trainees and finally becoming board members. 

The more traditional business, financial and health skills are well represented on the board. To ensure that we maintain a wide range of skills, members of the board are requested to provide a list of their skills. We update the skills list yearly and identify where we need to replace skills before retirements, etc, from the board. 

We currently have 5 voting board members and a membership consisting of 14 nonvoting members. The non-voting members make up the numbers when required at board meetings, events, seminars, etc. 

## Trustee Induction and Training 

All trustees are familiar with the practical work of the charity as they visit the Training Suite where work is delivered randomly. The trustees hear and see the productions of the young people and at first hand get to examine the work of the staff and volunteers. The trustees attend our open days which are promoted and delivered at least four times a year. 

Along with physical training, the trustees have received their training in form of DVDs and online. This is relayed at board meetings so the other trustees can see how training went with the others. 

The trustees also receive training from their workplaces (i.e. Accountants, etc) which enables all trustees to be able to share alternative learning with each other.

Our induction process consists of a Question & Answer pack, skills assessment, needs assessment, rules and regulations of a trustee documentation, health & safety procedures, and reference sections, and every new trustee must undergo this process. 

## Risk Management 

The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. We have a risk register which is reviewed and updated annually. Where necessary, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Risks to external funding have led to the development of strategic self-sufficient fund raising which will enable the charity to continue even if funds are delayed or not forthcoming. 

Procedures are in place to ensure safety of the trustees, staff, volunteers and our young service users. These procedures are also reviewed annually. 

## Organisational Structure 

The charity has a board of five voting members and a membership of 14, a service operational management team of two and a service operational team of five. The CEO has the duty to manage the day to day operations of the charity and the CEO reports all work, issues and challenges back to the board. 

## Related Parties 

With the charity’s work becoming more intense with the many issues that the young service users bring along with them, it is important that we associate ourselves with relevant parties. 

Our trustees and management serve on other boards such as Lambeth Youth Violence Forum. 

Being a part of these other groups opens the charity to work and/or funding opportunities that can, will or do benefit the charity. 

## **Our Aims and Objectives** 

## Purpose and Aims 

Our charity’s purpose as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association is: 

**“To advance in life and relieve needs of young people through providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals”** 

_**Code 7 Ltd -** Charity No: 1148311 / Company Limited By Guarantee No: 5362713 / Asdan Accreditation Provider No: 32799 HEAD OFFICE: 11 Ashmere House, Acre Lane, Brixton, London Sw2 5UQ / Tel/Fax: (Admin) 020 7998 1531 / Email: code7Ltd@outlook.com / info@code7music.co.uk / Website: https://www.code7.live_ 




The aims of our charity are to take young people’s passion for music and creative arts and nurture and channel this into the development of practical, useful and marketable skills. We provide an opportunity for young people to develop the skills necessary for success in a wide variety of careers, whether directly in music or in other sectors. 

Our aims fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further. 

## Ensuring our Work Delivers our Aims 

Every year we produce an annual report which contains a review of our aims, objectives and activities for the completed year. The review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous twelve months. 

We also ensure that all funding applications that we create and submit adhere closely to the purpose in our charity’s memorandum and articles. 

The people whom we employ or take on as volunteers, all go through our induction process which includes them agreeing and signing up to our ‘Code 7 Core-Values’ mission. Our core-values are to Know, Want, Learn, Share, Help, Deliver and Care, which are specially designed to communicate how our staff and volunteers are expected to work with our project users always. 

Our core-values help us to ensure that all our activities and our work continue to compliment and follow our aims and objectives as stated in our memorandum and articles. Our core-values also stand as a guideline for future-planning to guarantee that our focus remains within the boundaries of our charity’s aims and objectives while implementing future plans. 

## The Focus of our Work 

Our prime objectives for the year was to provide activities in music, media and performing arts and to contribute a service of mentoring, mediation, education, training and tuition for under-privileged young people in South London and surrounding Boroughs that do not have access to mainstream provision. 

We delivered these activities and services by: 

- Providing quality music recording equipment and facilities that would otherwise be unaffordable to our primary user group 

- Employing staff and volunteers with good experience of the music and creative industry and a passion for helping in the community 

- Implementing projects specially designed to attract, engage and change mindsets and behaviour of project participants 

- Working in partnership with other relevant agencies and organisations to ensure we can provide the support and help that is needed for our service users

in small, yearly funding applications. 


The trustees are mindful of the public benefit tests for charities, and confirm they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission. 

## **Financial Review** 

We are working with a professional consultant with the intention to maximise our income generation. We have faced difficult periods but have worked hard to secure continued and further funding. 

## Principle funding sources 

Below is a list of our funding/income and approximate grant amounts for the year to 31 March 2022: - 

- **LB Lambeth General** £14’561 

- **Lambeth Summer Camp** £1’920 

- **MTVH** £25’164 

- **Hackney HCVS** £31’303.97 

- **Optivo Housing** £23’147.30 

- **Brixton bid** £5’000 

- **Safer London** £12’000 

- **UK Youth** £22’000 

- **Young Londoners Fund** £27’776 

- • **Donations** £1’053.66 

## Investment Policy 

Under the Memorandum of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The funds held by the charity during the year under review were not sufficient to justify separate investment, other than to be placed on deposit with the charity’s bankers. 

We are currently working with professional consultants to enable us to maximise our capacity in investments and reserves. 

## Reserves Policy 

As the funds we receive are mainly grants, the expenditure usually caters for the actual projects we delivered for that particular funder. This makes it difficult for us to contribute money to investment or reserves, although this is an area we are keeping under review. 

We are now in the process of implementing procedures to enable us to transfer small investments into our reserves and we aim to build upon this gradually. Our work with

professional business consultants will enable us to increase the potential of our reserves. A percentage of the donation that was received in this financial year, 202021, was transferred to our reserves. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

The charity plans to continue the work set out in our memorandum and articles and mission statement over the coming years once funding permits. 

We look forward to completing our London Youth Quality Mark with Rocket Science and still aim to raise funding to re-apply for PQASSO Quality Mark Level 1 and Level 2 thereafter, to ensure the company maintains high quality standards at board level, and in operational management and project delivery. 

We are working with Lambeth Council to secure long-term premises for Code 7. 

Code 7 is now operating within a Public Health context which ensures our future provisions have the best possible foundations to help us create and sustain positive change in our community. 

## **Responsibilities of the Management Committee** 

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the Management Committee should follow the best practice and: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent: and 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to 

- Assume that the company will continue on that basis. 

- Prepare financial statements that show a true and fair view 

The Management Committee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Management Committee is 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.

Our core-values also stand as a guideline for future-planning to guarantee that our focus remains within the boundaries of our charity’s aims and objectives while implementing future plans 

## The Focus of our Work 

Our prime objectives for the year was to provide activities in music, media and performing arts and to contribute a service of mentoring, mediation, education, training and tuition for under-privileged young people in South London and surrounding Boroughs that do not have access to mainstream provision. 

We delivered these activities and services by: 

- Providing quality music recording equipment and facilities that would otherwise be unaffordable to our primary user group 

- Employing staff and volunteers with good experience of the music and creative industry and a passion for helping in the community 

- Implementing projects specially designed to attract, engage and change mindsets and behaviour of project participants

Code 7 Limited 

## **Financial Review** 

We are working with a professional consultant with the intention to maximise our income generation. We have faced difficult periods but have worked hard to secure continued and further funding. 

## Principle funding sources 

Below is a list of our funding/income and approximate grant amounts for the year to 31 March 2022: - 

- **LB Lambeth General** £12,641 

- **Lambeth Summer Camp** £1,920 

- **MTVH** £25,164 

- **Hackney HCVS** £31,303.97 

- **Optivo** £23,147.33 

- **Brixton bid** £5,000 

- **Safer London** £12,000 

- **UK Youth** £22,000 

- **Donations** £1,053.66 

- **Parallel Youth Enterprise** £1,920 

- • **GLA Young Londoners Fund** £27,776 

## Investment Policy 

Under the Memorandum of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The funds held by the charity during the year under review were not sufficient to justify separate investment, other than to be placed on deposit with the charity’s bankers. 

We are currently working with professional consultants to enable us to maximise our capacity in investments and reserves. 

## Reserves Policy 

As the funds we receive are mainly grants, the expenditure usually caters for the actual projects we delivered for that particular funder. This makes it difficult for us to contribute money to investment or reserves, although this is an area we are keeping under review. 

We are now in the process of implementing procedures to enable us to transfer small investments into our reserves and we aim to build upon this gradually. Our work with professional business consultants will enable us to increase the potential of our reserves. A percentage of the donation that was received in this financial year, 2021-22, was transferred to our reserves. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

The charity plans to continue the work set out in our memorandum and articles and mission statement over the coming years once funding permits. 

We look forward to completing our London Youth Quality Mark with Rocket Science and still aim to raise funding to reapply for PQASSO Quality Mark Level 1 and Level 2 thereafter, to ensure the company maintains high quality standards at board level, and in operational management and project delivery. 

We are working with Lambeth Council to secure long-term premises for Code 7. 

Code 7 is now operating within a Public Health context which ensures our future provisions have the best possible foundations to help us create and sustain positive change in our community. 

## **Responsibilities of the Management Committee** 

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the Management Committee should follow the best practice and: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent: and 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to 

- • Assume that the company will continue on that basis. 

8 



Code 7 Limited 

- Prepare financial statements that show a true and fair view

The Management Committee is 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.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Code 7 Limited** 

I report to the charity  trustees  on  my  examination  of  the accounts for the year ended  31 March 2022 set out on pages  eleven to seventeen. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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 for this year 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** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention  which gives me cause to believe that:

- the accounts do not accord with such records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

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.

Dear Sirs 

## **FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

We confirm that the following representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience and, where appropriate, of inspection of the supporting documentation sufficient to satisfy ourselves that we can properly make each of the following representations to you in connection with your report on the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2022: 

1. We acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and that you do not express an audit opinion. 

2. We confirm that the charity was entitled to exemption under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 the requirement to have its financial statements for the financial period ended 31 March 2022 audited. 

3. We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees as set out in the terms of your engagement letter under the Charities Act 2011, for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. 

4. All the transactions undertaken by the charity have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. 

5. All the accounting records and related financial information, including minutes of all management and trustee meetings and correspondence with The Charity Commission have been made available to you for the purpose of your work. 

6. The charity has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the charity's assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. 

7. We have recorded or disclosed, as appropriate, all liabilities, both actual and contingent, and have disclosed in the notes to the financial statements all guarantees that we have given to third parties. 

8. We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements.

9. We have disclosed to you all claims in connection with litigation that have been, or are expected to be, received and such matters, as appropriate, have been properly accounted for, and disclosed in, the financial statements. 

10. We have disclosed to you all known instances of non-compliance or suspected noncompliance with laws and regulations whose affects should be considered when preparing the financial statements. 

11. Related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements. We have disclosed to you all relevant information concerning such relationships and transactions and are not aware of any other matters which require disclosure in order to comply with legislative and accounting standards requirements. 

12. All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed. 

13. We believe that the charity's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charity's needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements. 

14. All grants, donations and other income, the receipt of which is subject to specific terms or conditions, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions in the application of such income. 

Yours faithfully
