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 2022. 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.
In 2021/22 our vision and mission has been reviewed and updated, to better reflect our targeted and impact led approach.
## **Our new vision**
A society in which all young people are ready, equipped, motivated and able to enter the world of work.
## **Our new mission**
To ensure all young people, particularly those who will most benefit, have access to meaningful employer engagement, work readinesses skills development, and employment opportunities, enabling them to transition into sustained work and rewarding careers'.
## **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.
The charity benefits the public by providing work experience, employability programmes and careers guidance to young people, as described in the achievements and performance section.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
2021/22 was a significant year for the charity, as we focused on post-covid recovery and growth, in addition to developing a more targeted approach, in order to prioritise resources where they would be most beneficial.
We went through a robust strategic review process, with staff, Board members, schools, funders, employer partners, and young people inputting to the formulation of a new 2021 - 2025 strategy, which will drive a focus on taking a place-based approach, building collective practice, developing robust and high impact interventions, and targeting services where they are most needed.
We found during 2021/22 that demand on our services grew, as schools worked to catch-up on lost careers curriculum time during the Covid related lockdowns. This was true particularity in regards to demand for high quality work experience opportunities.
We found that while education institutions where very keen to re-engage with employers, both in-school and in the workplace, businesses remained more risk averse and were limited in the activities in which they could offer and participate.
Despite these limitations and challenges we saw significant growth in activities and opportunities. We worked with 3,948 young people from across 40 different schools and colleges, and 9 different London boroughs. These activities included 47 in-school workshops, 18 group workplace insight visits, 2 career fairs, 122 young people matched with a career mentor, 776 young people were placed on a work experience opportunity and we supported 136 young people through their Government Kicktstart placement, in partnership with West London Business and Hounslow Education Partnership.
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 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. We also developed new strategic partnerships with SEGRO, ISG, Jacobs Engineering and Ajar Technology.
In total our work was supported by 371 employer partners and 392 volunteers who gave more than 20,000 hours of their time. A significant growth on the previous year.
Further, trust and foundation funding was gratefully received from Garfield Weston Foundation and Inspire Hounslow, alongside the Charities Aid Foundation whose support allowed us to begin to develop a targeted placebased approach in the London Boroughs of Brent and Ealing.
## **STAFFING**
During the year we recruited a School and Volunteer Manager - Fatimah Saccoh, an Employment Champion - Yvonne Nelson, and a Programme Manager - Noreen Niazi. In addition we hosted two Kickstart placements - Ekroop Kaur and Paniz Juwandoon. We subsequently offered Paniz Juwandoon permanent employment.
Chandni Patel - School Events Coordinator, resigned her position in November.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Despite the challenge of working to meet increased demand throughout the year Hounslow Education Business Charity's strong financial position in previous years meant we could maintain staff levels and absorb the expected financial deficit and reduced income from schools, enabling the charity to sustain core projects and keep costs for schools at a stable and reasonable level. However, the recognition of the Charities Aid Foundation grant in this financial year meant that this resulted in a net income for the period of £3,354, compared to net expenditure of (£109,194) 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 had been accrued as a direct result of being under-staffed and cautious with expenditure. However, during the Covid lockdown period and subsequent recovery, these reserves have been utilised to maintain minimum staffing whilst ensuring the charity was able to continue to meet demand for services.
Following the challenges of 2020/21 and the post-covid recovery period of 2021/22, the charity's reserves, being unrestricted funds excluding fixed assets, stand at £207,611 (2021: £202,826). While slightly increased on the previous year, 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**
Under the leadership of our Chief Executive - Matt Lent, the 2025 strategy is now embedded within the organisation. We will continue to meet the needs of schools and young people in Hounslow, primarily through the GLA Career Cluster programme, whilst simultaneously seeking to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and establish our services across the west London boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow and Hillingdon.
With support from trusts and foundations and local councils, we will further develop our collective action and place-based approach in these boroughs, building partnerships with diverse local employers, engaging and reaching young people who will most benefit from our services and support.
We will also be seeking to further expand our Career Mentoring programme - CONNECT, for young people either currently or at risk of becoming 'Not in Employment Education or Training'. We will develop strategic corporate partnerships and identify grants to enable us to do so.

**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 2022.
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**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW 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 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.

The charitable company is entitled to exemption from audit under Section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended 31 March 2022.

............................................. William Tyler (Chair) - Trustee
The notes form part of these financial statements
Page 8
**HOUNSLOW EDUCATION BUSINESS CHARITY**
**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. They have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) Second Edition issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts have been prepared to give a 'true and fair view' and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) Second Edition issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
## **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.
## **Going concern**
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. The trustees of the Charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern.
## **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.

**Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **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
## **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.

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