**HOUNSLOW EDUCATION BUSINESS CHARITY** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The Charity's objects are to advance the education of the public, in particular but not exclusively young people, pupils and students in the London Borough of Hounslow, by the provision of advice and guidance in relation to careers, training and personal development opportunities with the object of improving their employability and to enable them to reach their full potential so they will be better prepared for adult and working life. 

Our key mission remained unchanged on 2020/21, to develop young people's employability so they are better prepared for the world of work. Put simply, we find and create inspiring opportunities for young people to have meaningful engagement with employers, employees, and the place of work, to better understand and be prepared for the working world. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have considered the general guidance issued by the Charity Commission in connection with public benefit in setting the objectives of the charity and in particular they have considered how planned activities further the charity's objects.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

2020/21 was a year of both challenges and opportunities. The impact of Covid-19 meant that from April 2020 to September 2020 most scheduled delivery was cancelled or postponed, with pertinent staff furloughed, for between 3 and 6 months. Some delivery continued during this period, most notably the CONNECT mentoring programme, which was piloted with a small cohort, to be run online. 

From September 2021 all furloughed staff returned to work, and our delivery of employability programmes, work experience and mentoring began to be provided for schools and young people, primarily using online platforms, Teams and Zoom. 

Despite many schools having uncertainty around student attendance and challenges in meeting broad curriculum demands, we found a number of our school partners very keen to continue to provide vital careers and employability services. While delivery was lower than in previous years, employability services, work experience provision and the CONNECT mentoring programme, was run with 1,487 students from 85 schools and colleges. During this year, Spark! worked with 91 businesses and employers, utilising 248 employee volunteers across all services and programmes. 

Furthermore, after a delay of nearly a year, the GLA funded Carer Cluster project, sub-contracted to Spark! by the London Borough of Hounslow, finally commenced. With 14 secondary schools and West Thames College being taken through a comprehensive needs analysis process, supported with the development of a programme of employer engagement and work experience, and matched with local employers. The Career Cluster delivery will continue until June 2023. 

During the year a number our network of corporate partnerships continued to support and work with us in achieving our mission. These include GSK - who continue to host us in their Brentford offices and fund 15 CONNECT mentoring places, Cisco - with whom we work to recruit for and support their work experience programme, and Notting Hill Genesis - who this year we delivered an employability and one-to-one mentoring programme for students from Barnet and Southgate College. Other sustaining partnerships and funding in 2020/21 where with Heathrow, Dell Technologies, BP, Openreach, and Sky. 

In addition, new and growing partnership programmes were established with Ecoworld, South West Rail, and Chiswick Finance. While further trust and foundation funding was gratefully received from Garfied Weston Foundation, Inspire Hounslow, Heathrow Community Fund, and Awards for All. 

Due to the challenges of the year, plans to invest in and grow the teams, while utilising resources to develop Impact and Business Development, had to be postponed. However, the planned investment in the charity's online presence was maintained, with the redesign and launch of a new website in December 2020. 

## **STAFFING** 

During the year, two staff members, Hannah Brayson and Rachel Green, resigned from their positions, and left the charity in September and December respectively. 

Faye Rounding was appointed in November 2021 as our new Head of Programmes, taking on the responsibility for oversight and development of our service offer and delivery. 

In August 2021, a new Chief Executive Officer, Matt Lent, was appointed to replace Ruby Mir, who went on maternity leave from October 2021. Matt joined us with decades of experience as a youth worker, trainer/facilitator and charity leader within the youth and education sectors.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Despite diminished levels of delivery, and subsequent reductions in income, Hounslow Education Business Charity's strong financial position in previous years, meant they could maintain staff levels, and absorb the expected financial deficit and reduced income from grants and schools, enabling the charity to sustain core projects and keep costs for schools at a stable and reasonable level. 

This resulted in net expenditure for the period of £(109,194), compared to net expenditure of £(253) in the previous year. 

The future of income streams remains uncertain, especially with funding applications being more competitive than ever. The Trustees' approach to reserves therefore reflects the aim of keeping Hounslow Education Business Charity secure for the future by continuing to deliver annual programmes whilst building its activity, profile and influence. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The accumulation of reserves has built up from previous years, when funding was uncertain and staffing was minimal and challenging. The reserves have been accrued as a direct result of being under-staffed and cautious with expenditure. 

Following the challenges of 2020/21, the charity's reserves, being unrestricted funds excluding fixed assets, stand at £202,826. While significantly reduced on previous years, the trustees consider that reserve levels are still sufficient to ensure that the charity is able to enable the delivery of its projects, whilst also keeping costs to schools as low as possible, and if necessary, the trustees would be able to arrange an orderly winding down of the charity's affairs, whereby all its financial responsibility and obligations would be honoured. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Trustees will keep the performance of the charitable company under close review.  Monitoring finances and how reserves can be spent to benefit the charity. 

Over the next year, with a new CEO in post, we will develop and implement a four year strategy, defining our priorities and objectives up until 2025. We will continue to serve Hounslow secondary schools and colleges, and schools and colleges across West London as a priority. Providing diverse services related to young people's careers education and employability development. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

Hounslow Education Business Charity (trading as 'Spark!') is a company limited by guarantee with no share capital incorporated on 15th October 2010 and governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 27th August 2010. 

## **Appointment of new trustees** 

Hounslow Education Business Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees whose members are elected as the need arises by ordinary resolution. 

Recruitment of Trustees is carried out through wide reaching advertisement, long-listing of candidates, two rounds of interviews, and subsequent election by the Board of Trustees. In the past year we have focused on recruitment of Trustees under 25 years of age, in order to ensure our Board is representative and diverse. We will continue to seek appoint of new members of the Board in the year ahead, to ensure Trustees appropriately reflect the communities we serve.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hounslow Education Business Charity** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hounslow Education Business Charity ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

This report is made to the Trustees, as a body, in accordance with the terms of my engagement. Our work has been undertaken so that we might carry out an Independent Examination of the financial statements in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, for our work or for this report. 

## **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** 

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 the Company 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.

**HOUNSLOW EDUCATION BUSINESS CHARITY** 

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** 

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The following are the critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Board has made in the process of applying the charity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: 

Income received for arranging and administering work experience placements to secondary school students: Due to the process for arranging the placements consisting of an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, the charity recognises revenue on a straight-line basis over the specified period. In the absence of evidence that some other method better represents the stage of completion, this is deemed consistent with the recognition criteria of FRS 102. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.  Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or the donor has specified that the income has to be spent in a future period. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Costs that relate directly to charitable activities or fund-raising activities of the Charity are charged to those activities. All other expenses are allocated on the basis of time spent by staff on the various activities. 

Governance costs include the costs of administering the Charity as a legal entity and include costs of Trustees meetings, Independent Examination fees, and other statutory costs allocated to support costs. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Computer equipment -  25% on cost

**Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. The Charity is also not registered for VAT and accordingly, where applicable, all costs and expenditures incurred are inclusive of VAT. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash 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. 

## **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 settled 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. 

## **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 and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
