The company registered as a charity on 1 April 2011 (Registered No. 1141054). The Charity is also known as FUEL. FUEL is a charity which operates as a Alternative Education Provider.

The trustees of the company are also directors of the charity. Those who served during the period were as follows:

C Bernard F Kweku A McGregor D Johnson

Recruitment and training of trustees

The directors of the company are charity trustees as defined by the Charities Act 2011. The charity or the directors themselves may, by ordinary resolution, appoint new directors who are willing to act. New directors are required in order that the total number of directors does not fall below three. New directors must be deemed qualified and capable of managing the business of the charity and exercising powers on its behalf. Directors do not serve a minimum or maximum period.

Induction of trustees

All new trustees are given the book "Responsibility of Charity Trustees" on appointment as well as a copy of the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Organisational management

The directors as the trustees of the charity, are legally responsible for the overall management of FUEL and meet at regular intervals. Although Trustees may delegate specific aspects of FUEL governance to sub-committees, working groups, the management team, etc, the ultimate responsibility for taking decisions vests in the Trustees acting together as the FUEL board

Risk assessment and management

The board has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. The Trustees do not believe the charity is subject to any substantial risk beyond the liabilities disclosed in the Annual Report and Accounts. The charity has public liability and employer liability insurance to protect the charity in the case of a claim.

The Trustees, having taken advice, have introduced risk management processes to assess risks and implement risk management strategies. These include regular risk assessments by appropriately trained members of staff.

FUEL mission is as follows:

First Universal Enterprises Limited (FUEL) seeks to transform lives by helping those most in need to gain fulfilling and sustainable employment. We aim to meet the unique educational, social, and emotional needs of our diverse pupil group in a safe and nurturing environment.

We aim to both encourage and empower pupils to develop skills necessary to pursue post 16 opportunities and give a lifelong love of learning.

continued:

FUEL core services can be summarised as follows:

Our educational and pastoral delivery is engaging and encourages aspiration, challenging personal potential. Outcomes for pupils are extremely positive. Our qualifications are carefully selected from either the KS4 performance tables or are highly industry recognised which offer direct pathways into further education, employment or apprenticeships.

These courses offer a flexible and high-quality alternative to a traditional mainstream school curriculum, whilst still trying to ensure pupils can access and achieve core GCSE subjects which supports them in their adult lives and helps them to achieve economic wellbeing. FUEL gained Independent School Status in January 2017 and had our first full Ofsted inspection in January 2018. FUEL was graded good in all areas. Directors are heavily involved in all areas of operations and day to day running of the provision and are actively involved in leading and supporting change and improvement. Having this presence allows for fast responses to any identified issues or interventions deemed necessary. FUEL was graded Gold for Leadership and Management in our last NCSEP inspection and Good in our Ofsted inspection in January 2018.

Ofsted key findings included the following: -

“Senior leaders monitor and improve the quality of the curriculum and of teaching on an ongoing basis. They have a thorough understanding of the school’s strengths and they take decisive action to address any concerns.

Achievements and Performance

Schools were forced to close on 20[th] March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. In

1508 welfare calls were made during this period, 104 incidents were recorded against the reached one week with no contact with pupil which related to 31 pupils, this prompted 217 home visits throughout this period.

FUEL in the Community

In October 2017 FUEL started a community development focus on training adults in the community. We continue to deliver accredited programmes that offer progression routes for adults.

FUEL had been delivering 12-week introduction courses in Construction and Motor Mechanics. These courses are aimed and designed for a specific client group of Syrian Refugees that we have been working with. We had also been successfully delivered the CSCS card programme to Syrian adult learners for Nottingham City Council. These bespoke programmes aim to ensure these adult learners have a direct pathway into employment. Initially, these courses were delivered with the aim of learners achieving award level qualifications, but due to the success of the courses, they were extended to enable learners to obtain the higher-level qualifications such as certificates and diplomas and we have also been able to offer a wider range of qualifications.

Due to Covid 19 these programmes were postponed and we aim to resume them as soon as permitted.

We have continued our involvement within the community and have again sponsored an inner-city football team. These sessions run every week at a local sports centre, and the team won both the Summer and Winter league last year. We have also sponsored some holiday sessions to give young people somewhere to go during the holiday periods and linked in with the Youth Justice Service who also got involved with these.

Our subscription to Fairshare has allowed us to further expand the food delivery scheme where families in need receive a weekly food hamper. Families in need are identified in a number of ways either from pupils identified as being in need from our school or by referral from the numerous community organisations we work in partnership with. These organisations work with disadvantaged families so referrals from these are generally for families with great need. We also take referrals from the local church and work closely with local Councillors. The food delivery scheme was significantly increased due to the pandemic.

Our membership to In Kind Direct (In Kind Direct is the UK charity distributing consumer goods donated by companies to UK charitable organisations working in the UK and overseas) was fully utilised during the pandemic, this allowed us to purchase household cleaning products, toiletries, toilet rolls etc at a discounted price so give away to families in need.

FUEL'S Beneficiaries

In keeping with FUEL's charitable objectives, FUEL continues to reach and work with clients who are disadvantaged in the labour market. This includes candidates who face different and multiple barriers to work; people who are hard to reach and who often need non-mainstreamed services and support. FUEL has an ability to reach into communities and provide services to such groups and to help them increase their employability and gain employment through education and training. This year our client profile was as follows:

FUEL'S Reserves Policy

The current reserve policy is to maintain sufficient cash flows for known commitments.

Core costs : In line with SORP guidelines, FUEL strives to incorporate core costs into project budgets. However, it is recognised that this is not always possible and that for some years provision needs to be made to cover core costs at the outset of each year where necessary.

Financial Review and Results for the year

The financial results for the year are set out on pages 9- 15.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FIRST UNIVERSAL ENTERPRISES LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021, set out on pages 9-15.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees, who are also the directors of First Universal Enterprises Limited for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the '2011 Act') and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Certified Public Accountants Association.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under the company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

  3. to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records, comply with accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice; Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding or the accounts to be reached.
