OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity’s objectives are

  1. To promote the preservation of the wild Orangutan in its natural habitat, to promote its long-term welfare in Indonesia and to protect it from extinction for the public benefit.

  2. To advance education for the public benefit in the study, preservation and protection of the wild Orangutan

The charities main activities centre around the education, outreach and fundraising efforts to advance our core mission to save wild Orangutans. We do this work through both digital and face to face outreach. These services include our symbolic Orangutan adoption programme, project specific fundraising appeals, public talks, online and offline events, and educational tools. In 2022 we continued our progress both in our support on BOS Foundation and here in the UK. Here are some highlights of our progress:

  1. With BOS UK support, BOS Foundation released its 500th Orangutan back to the wild.

  2. BOS UK funded the restoration reforestation of 40 hectares of peat swamp forest in the Mawas Conservation Area.

  3. Added 215 new orangutan adopters to our program supporting our rescue centres.

  4. We helped over 1300 people live a more ethical and sustainable life through our wildlife trade and palm oil pledges.

  5. Our supporters funded the planting of 376 trees at the BOS Foundation’s Samboja Lestari rescue centre.

  6. We held our first rainforest retreat, taking guests from around the world to visit one of BOS Foundation’s rescue centres in Borneo.

  7. Conducted 8 educational talks to various groups across the UK on our work

  8. Brought updates on our work and mission to the UK through our various communication channels.

The Trustees have regular oversight of all aspects of the Charity, including mission objectives, financial review, fundraising performance, and operations. Three formal Trustee meetings were held throughout 2022 (03/25, 07/18, and 09/28)

We do not issue grants outside of our direct support of the BOS Foundation, which receives 100% of our charitable transfers.

We do not currently handle investments, but if we do, we will provide a publicly accessible investment policy on how we responsibly invest for the benefit of the planet.

We have a network of private and professional volunteers that support us. They support our educational talks, legal services, technology implementation services, supporting events, and many others areas. In 2022 we had over 500 hours of volunteer assistance.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

BOS UK continues to serve the UK community as the BOS Foundation’s in-country partner. This partnership allows us to bring the conservation work of the BOS Foundation to our UK community through education, outreach, and fundraising activities. We work to educate the public on the issues facing not only the orangutans, but the entire Bornean ecosystem. We help our followers be part of the solution, whether that be through educating themselves on how to live in a more ecological way to hep orangutans, or directly support our work with donations, community fundraisers, or volunteering. With over 400 Orangutans in BOSF’s care, over 500 Orangutans released back to the wild, and over 1.1 million acres of rainforest in their management we are slowly improving the future for the species and ecosystems of Borneo. As we are all connected by the natural systems on this planet, this work benefits us all.

Due to the pandemic we weren’t able to meet our outreach objectives as many schools were closed and in-person events halted, but we quickly pivoted to provide distance learning opportunities for schools and online events to keep our community engaged, active, and learning.

Throughout 2022 we met all of our fundraising activity objectives and were highly successful in building out our orangutan adoption programme, which supports our orangutan rescue and rehabilitation programmes. We also held fundraising campaigns for our orangutan releases, reforestation work, and general operating needs.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

At the end of 2022, BOS UK’s financial position was healthy, with a 135% growth over 2021. All funds over the board allocated operating reserve, exclusive of our 5-year average bequest account, were transferred to BOS Foundation to continue our shared mission and vision.

For proper organisational governance the Trustee approved policy is to maintain an operating reserve. This reserve accounts for at least 6 months of operating expenses, allowing us to ensure the ongoing financial health of the charity. In addition to our quarterly and one-off transfers, at end of year all remaining funds over our operating reserve are sent to BOS Foundation for their programmatic use. We also hold all incoming bequests in a separate account to average these funds over a 5 year period for better income projection.

Amount of reserves held £163,000

There are no current or ongoing concerns regarding the charity’s financial or operational future.

Majority of our funds are from private individuals located here in the UK and abroad. We also receive funds from foundations and corporate sponsors. We do not receive government support outside of the Gift-Aid programme.

Primary risk is an economic turndown forcing our supporters into a position of ceasing their support. Principal risk to our mission is the continued loss of habitat and other threats facing Bornean Orangutans and their rainforest homes.

Borneo Orangutan Survival UK Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Recognition of Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT expenditure which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.

Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs. Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.

Taxation

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

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other 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 and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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 settle 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.

Page 11

Borneo Orangutan Survival UK Notes to the Accounts

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
