As I reflect on another year in LNADJ'S 14-year history, it's always uplifting to see the initial vision unfolding and gathering momentum. 2023 presented itself as a year of visibility for LNADJ. Recognising a new generation of supporters coming through. the team at LNADJ took our birthday as an opportunity to launch a new website. logo, and brand direction for our foundation. The team put much lime and energy into reimagining our donor experience. l am proud that we continue to inspire the electronic music industry and gain more supporters as each year goes by with the likes of Technics, Joue music, Downtown Music, Native Instruments, Ableton, Beatport, Roland joining us this year and our key sponsor Pioneer DJ (Alpha Theta) stepping up again to support us. Our work would not be possible without the unwavering and ongoing support of Empiric, HG Ventures, and Oyster. Year after year, these recruitment companies have been dedicated to joining us on our mission, and my gratitude is immeasurable for the energy they bring to every challenge and fundraiser we've undertaken. As a small and dedicated team, we always appreciate people's effort lo demonstrate their commitment to changing lives and saving lives through the power of music, choosing to use their platform for good. Our report showcases where we have been positively overwhelmed with in-kind donalions and individuals going above and beyond to make a difference. International trips this year have seen us visit Uganda and Tanzania to check in with our trusted partners on the ground and deliver our outreach directly to children, young people and families. In 2023, we committed to building our 1 Ooth 'Have a Drink on Us, well, and it was incredible to be present in Mpigi. Uganda, with the community as this well was opened for the first time. In partnership with the charities, we work with to deliver Get Equipped, this year has shown how genuinely effective this project is in helping young people build confidence, learn, embrace community. inspire each other and skill share through the power of music and art. We've increased our outreach with projects now live in the UK and are preparing to release an album created by students in Sierra Leone with support from our volunteer Steve Mac. This year il feels like we've made dreams come true. And as we move into 24125, we look forward to sharing with you our plans for Get Equipped to grow. We have discovered new opportunilies to enable the communilies we care about to support themselves through sustainable initiatives which include our first ever funded farming project for elders in Uganda and the launch of Upbeat Coffee in Sierra Leone. Both projects which will provide employment, income and opportunily lo Ihe communities they serve. l am delighted to share our achievements from Ihe last 12 months and the joy of the LNADJ team as we enter 202412025 with renewed excilemenl and plans to build hope through music. Big Love and Smiles, Jonny Lee NOTE FROM CHAIRMAN LNADJ'S 14th year proved once again to be one of progress for the charity & those Ihal benefit from the many projects we support. An obvious highlight was the completion of our 1 Ooth well. Most of us are fortunate to be able to take fresh water for granted-so much so that it never ceases to amaze people when they are told the multiple ways that providing a well transforms the lives of a community. That a relatively modest amount of money buys so much for so many is both humbling & a real reminder ol the direct line of sight that we give our supporters between their funds & the real-world outcomes that they enable. I know that this is one of Ihe key reasons that many of our supporters have been with us for years & we hope they will be with us for many more years to come. But we take nothing for granted & are well aware that in a world full of good causes. we are privileged that they choose to support LNADJ. i&IA We remain forever grateful to them. and as Chairman. I would like to reiterate my ongoing thanks on behalf of us all personally.

The charity continues to operate within the electronic music industry, identifying and initiating fundraising opportunities to benefit its own projects, as well as other charitable organisations and projects that it partners with. It also receives support from companies outside of the music industry, most notably from the recruitment industry as its chairman has close ties within it. 15 The Objectives and principal activities are to partner with and or assist grassroots charities whose aims support the following: A)The prevention or relief of poverty (or financial hardship) anywhere in the world by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training, healthcare projects and all the necessary support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and be self-suff icient. b) The relief of sickness and the preseNation of health among children, young people and their families anywhere in the world. c) The relief of financial need and suffering among victims of natural or other kinds of disaster Advancing the education of young persons by developing their mental, physical, and moral capabilities through creative activities. d) The promotion for the benefit of the public the conservation and improvement of the physical and natural environment. e) The promotion of human rights (as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent United Nations conventions and declarations) throughout the world. f) Advancing the education of persons under the age of 25 years by developing their mental, physical and moral capabilities through leisure time activities. g) The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. 16 Public Benefit We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The Trustees review the fundraising activities and the projects they have supported at the end of the year and on a regular basis throughout the year. This review helps us to plan our future projects and fundraising activities and to adjust the plans accordingly. The review also helps us to ensure that we are planning our activities and selecting projects to meet the objectives as set out in the Memorandum of Association. How our activities deliver public benefit The Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation is very well connected within the electronic music industry with both leading artists and suppliers which enables it to access services, equipment and to create fundraising initiatives. It provides the vision, connections and essential groundwork to bridge the gap between the industry and like-minded grassroots organisations enabling it to provide funding and support for selected charities and projects. 17 CHALLENGES 18 BOTIGA- BAR CqlLE IBlrZII Ir• Sponsored by Oyster Partnership,15 cyclists joined our Chairman Russell and Founder Jonny for Cycle Ibiza 2023 to change lives and save lives.

At the balance sheet date the charity had restricted funds of £24,189 (2023: £6,516) and unrestricted funds of £107,786 (2023: £84,301). Going concern After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Reserves policy. The reserves of the Foundation are monitored regularly by the trustees. The unrestricted reseNes at the year end of £107,786 (2023: £84,301) will be used for the charity's running costs. The key focus of the trustees is to have adequate funding to carry out its mainstream charitable activities. The trustees are constantly working on obtaining funds for this purpose. The trustees aim to hold unrestricted reserves to cover between three and six months running costs. 60 FUTURE PLANS Get Equipped project will be expanded further in the UK, we will be looking into more grant applications to raise funds to further advance this project with the help of a bid writer. Both Tanzania and Sierra Leone will be visited again as we look to make more progress in teaching the students more skills in music production. More equipment will be provided to further expand the educational possibilities. With the success of the Christmas campaign, we will be looking to continue this in 2024 and will be looking to release the news of the campaign much earlier. We have our next Annual fundraiser booked for April 3rd, 2025, at a new venue The Brewery in London. A recruitment campaign is to take place to increase the board of Trustees and add more diversity. This will also expand our potential network of future funders and fundraisers. As part of our continued commitment to pioneering out-of-the-box projects, we're delighted to be in the very early stages of launching our social enterprise 'Upbeat Coffee,. Working in developing countries sourcing coffee beans, we identified an entrepreneurial opportunity for the communities we support to create a viable business mobilised by LNADJ. A bag design was created by Inkie & Nicolas Dixon and UPbeat Coffee was born. More research is needed in 2024 to secure the potential to import a quantity to then use the funds from sales to fund projects in the countries the coffee is sourced from. There are other charity coffees in the business and clearly has the potential to raise funds. We know the music industry and festivals, and with our festival partnership programme, we're planning to take Upbeat Coff ee to retail outlets and events throughout the UK, creating roles and funds for the beneficiaries we support. 61 The Charity is controlled by its governing document, the memorandum and articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the companies Act 2006.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements 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. 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 charity 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. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the entity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity 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. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. Donated goods and services are recognised when the charity is legally entitled to those goods or services, it is probable that the items will be received and the value to the charity of the donated item can be measured reliably. - 4 - File 2 of 2, Page 7 of 16.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Costs of generating funds relates to expenditure on raising donations, including production costs to put on events to raise funds. ## **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: Computers 33% 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 charity 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 Stocks** Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. ## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. - 5 - File 2 of 2, Page 8 of 16.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity 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. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## **1.11 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 charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. - 6 - File 2 of 2, Page 9 of 16.
