SOS Kit Aid Limited - Trustees report

The Trustees, who are directors within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006, have pleasure in presenting the report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association (adopted pursuant to Special Resolutions passed on 16 December 2010, the date of incorporation of the Company).

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.

Risk assessment

The Trustees continually assesses the risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the staging of events and other fund raising initiatives. They are satisfied that the systems in place manage exposure to major risk.

Objectives

The Charity principal purposes are as follows:

This is achieved through the core charitable activity of collecting unwanted sports kit and redistributing it to those individuals who wish to participate in sport, notably rugby, both in the UK and around the world.

Financial review

The financial results for the year are set out in the accompanying pages. The Charity is largely dependent on the support of its partner organisation, World Rugby, with whom the Charity has a strong relationship. We are anticipating continued support and as a result the Trustees are of the opinion that it is able to meet all liabilities as they occur.

The whole of the activity of SOS Kit Aid Limited is in accordance with the funding received from World Rugby – the collection, sorting, and delivery of rugby kit to those individuals who wish to participate in the sport, and as such its funding is treated as being towards the core purposes.

We have also seen the continuing success of our fundraising golf days, which form an integral part of our fundraising strategy and we would like to thank everyone who supported the charity on these days.

Core funding for the Charity is an area that the Trustees continue to address. The Charity continues to operate within its means, and the Trustees, based on activity during 2023, remain confident of the charity’s future and therefore have continued to adopt the going concern principles in preparing these accounts.

SOS Kit Aid Limited - Trustees report

Reserves policy

The Reserves Policy is, as far as is prudently possible, to commit all the funds raised in the year in which they are received, having regard to the need for funds to cover a normal level of working capital. There remains a significant demand for the services provided by the Charity, and the surplus for the year represents funds available to fund future deliveries.

Statement of the Trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

 select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

 observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

 make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

 state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

4

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The Trustees would like to say a particular thank you to the volunteers around the country who work with SOS Kit Aid to collect, sort and deliver kit, and also to thank the teams at World Rugby, DHL, Big Yellow Storage, MDS Civil Engineering Limited, MPK, Digby Associates, Mercer & Hole, Halbro Sportswear, Lane Pearson Ltd, Roy Marfleet, DB Shenker Ltd, BT, and many other organisations for their direct and indirect support during the period.

SOS Kit Aid Limited Accounting Policies

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Charitable Company is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and therefore the Charity also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the 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 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011, and Regulations made thereunder, together SORP Update Bulletin 1

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material to the financial statements.

REVENUE

Charitable Income and Grants are accounted for as soon as the amount and its receipt are reasonably certain. Assets donated are included at value within Income with a corresponding recording of the asset within Fixed Assets.

The charity receives donations of new and used kit and, in relation to its fundraising event, auction items and raffle prizes, many of which may be unique or not available on the open market. In addition as part of the fundraising and charitable activities the Trustees negotiate supply agreements on the basis of the charity’s status resulting in reduced rates and receive use of exclusive facilities not available to the general public. As such the Trustees consider it impractical to be able to ascribe a value to the various donated gifts, services and facilities.

EXPENDITURE

All expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis.

RESERVES

Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for specific purposes.

All funding received in the year is towards the core objects of the Charity and therefore is regarded as Unrestricted funds. Funds previously held as Restricted have now been regarded as unrestricted funding.
