THE ADNAN JAFFERY EDUCATIONAL TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the trust's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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

The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the following as set out in the company's Articles of Association; to advance education by provision of educational mentoring programmes to children and young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust empowers GCSE students from disadvantaged backgrounds by mentoring them to develop their self-belief and transform their academic performance.

Our students benefit from:

In 2014, The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust expanded its activities to include an autumn programme of sessions. This increased the programme days to a total of up to 25 sessions annually.

In 2016, The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust expanded its activities to include a series of summer career workshops aimed at graduating alumni.

In 2019, The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust expanded its activities to include an Online Mentoring Platform enabling students to access academic and personal develop support in-between sessions and programmes.

In 2020-2021, The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust completed its first fully online programme hosted on its own custom-built mentoring platform. A tremendous success in the circumstances.

In 2024, the online mentoring platform launched a built-in booking calendar allowing students to book 1- on-1 mentor slots 7-days a week based on their availability and our mentor schedules.

With these recent innovations, The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust is now able to offer 24/7 virtual support and allow mentors and students to access the One Degree Mentoring Programme from their home in addition to any in-person programmes the charity runs.

The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Achievements and performance

The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust works with students at the GCSE level which is a pivotal stage in their education. The Trust selects students typically predicted not to achieve at least a Grade C / Level 4 or above in their English and Mathematics GCSE examinations.

By failing to achieve at least a Grade C / Level 4 in these subjects, students are often unable to progress to A Levels or other further education courses. Many students leave the educational system altogether becoming classified as Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET).

Young adults who become classified as NEET essentially perpetuate their disadvantaged status and continue to be perceived as an economic burden on the rest of society.

The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust mentors are positive role models who help students with their GCSE exam revision. Achieving the necessary grades allows students to stay within and progress through the educational system for as long as possible, thereby greatly improving their life chances.

The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust mentors also benefit from the opportunity to give back to society and help young people overcome their disadvantaged status.

Financial review

The Trust relies on gifts and donations to fund its activities. Most of the charity's income is derived from 'unrestricted' donations with ‘restricted’ donations being designated for programme activities within a timeframe.

There are no special funds or reserves in place for any specific purpose. The financial activities of the charity during the period are summarised in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 6.

The Trustees aim to generate a surplus in each accounting period and thus preserve a level of reserves and working capital that will enable the company to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Trust has recognised the funding shortfalls in recent fundraising rounds leading to less than favourable operating revenue. Operations to have been limited to online mentoring to reduce expenses and Trustees have assessed cashflow for next financial year with financial support available where necessary.

The Trust has devoted more time and activity towards fundraising and diversifying its revenue streams to enable the charity to continue its operation into the foreseeable future.

The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust assessed the major risks to which the trust is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 52 Ashlin Road, London, E15 2AP.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.4 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes VAT which cannot be recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of fundraising.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage as appropriate.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and machinery

20% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.9 Financial instruments

The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.12 Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

There were no key judgements. The main accounting estimates are depreciation and accruals.
