Year ended 31 December 2022
One by One Annual report and financial statements
As part of the trustees’ regular review of the charity’s governance structure, the trustees endeavour to ensure that the board structure remains optimal for the division of responsibilities, accountability and decision making. Taking into consideration the current size of the charity and its anticipated future growth, at their meeting on 30 March 2023 the trustees agreed and approved the separation of the roles and responsibilities of Chair of trustees and CEO. Consequently, from 30 March, Douglas Williams became the Chair of trustees and Rebecca Murray whilst remaining a trustee, will focus on the role of CEO.
The charity has close links with the American Non-profit One By One, which is a registered 501(c)(3) and is governed by Bylaws and overseen by a board of directors. The two organisations were both established by Rebecca Murray and both organisations work with the same purpose of achieving the main objectives of the charity which are for the public benefit.
Risk management
The trustees take the identification of operational, financial and reputational risk seriously. The trustees have put in place structures to ensure that the many and varied risks the Charity is exposed to are identified, addressed as appropriate and monitored effectively. The day—to—day running of the organisation, and therefore the identification, reporting and mitigation of risk is tasked to the CEO and the Executive Team. The Executive execute their responsibilities through a robust risk identification procedure which they continue to develop.
The significant risks identified during the year were;
• Safeguarding - The charity recognises the importance of ensuring that the appropriate procedures, policies and oversight are in place to ensure the health and safety of the young people in its care. A programme of training and awareness has been established and rolled out to Kenyan and Pakistani senior management during the year. In 2023, the UK One By One plans to join the Misconduct Disclosures Scheme as recommended by the Charities Commission.
• Global economy - There is a risk of reduction in income due to the impact of globally rising commodity prices and their impact on donors. Equally, governments are not immune from the global financial pressure, and there is concern that this could impact government aid spend. The executive team maintain a close watch on both the maintenance of existing income streams as well as the development of new ones.
• Programme quality - This is a constant risk, but especially so for a charity with plans and ambitions for expansion and development, both geographically and in programme depth and spread. The challenge to maintain and develop the quality of the charity´s programmes so they remain world-class is huge. In 2022, the charity has invested heavily in increasingly its sophistication in programme development and subsequent monitoring, evaluation and research; this investment will continue in 2023.
Financial review
The Charity achieved a surplus of £165,280 in the year (2021 – £233,179) resulting in total funds at the year-end of £823,443 (2021 - £658,163). Of the funds held at year end £569,919 (2021 - £376,716) were unrestricted as to use, and the Trustees are happy this level of reserves meets the reserves policy below
Reserves policy
The charity has an approved reserves policy for retaining the level of readily accessible funds within its unrestricted reserves to mitigate financial and operation risks, ensuring that the work of the charity is sustained with minimal disruption and where necessary to provide short term funding for new projects. The reserves policy is set out in note 10.
Restricted reserves represent income received but not yet expended in accordance with donors wishes. Some restricted donations are given to fund multi—period projects. These are recorded in the period when the donation is received or receivable.
The expenditure from restricted funds is recorded in the period when the funds are used for the restricted purpose. This means that in some accounting periods, there will be significant restricted reserves carried forward to future periods and in some accounting periods, there may be an excess of restricted expenditure over restricted funds received in that period. The Trustees will review the policy at least annually in order

to consider the needs and appropriate size of designated reserves for specific future uses, as well as maintaining sufficient other unrestricted funds for contingency purposes.
Statement of board of trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the excess of expenditure over income for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
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,
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
-
that the Charity will continue its activities.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. In addition, the Trustees confirm that they are happy that content of the annual review in pages 5 to 9 of this document meet the requirements of the Trustees’ Annual Report under charity law.
They also confirm that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014.

Independent examiner’s report
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of One by One (charity number 1145034) for the year ended 31 December 2022 as set out on pages 13 to 27.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act). The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under
-
section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and,
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the Charity’s Trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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
Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or,
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or,
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of
-
accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), including Update Bulletin 1, and relevant charities law.
The effect of any event relating to the year ended 31 December 2022, which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 31 December 2022 and the results for the year ended on that date.
Legal status
One by One is a charitable trust registered in England & Wales, and meets the definition of a public benefit entity. The registered office is PO Box 762, Rotherham, S60 9JB.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Board of Trustees is confident that future reserves and future income is more than sufficient to meet current commitments. There are no material uncertainties that impact this assessment and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had no material impact on this assessment.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are unrestricted funds which 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.
Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees for specific purposes. The aim and use of each
desingated fund is set out in note 10 of the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 10 of the financial statements.
Income
Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance indicators attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitled, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift aid receivable is included when claimable – i.e. when the eligible donation is received.
Trip contributions are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless the contribution relates to a trip in a future year, in which case it is deferred.
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.

Year ended 31 December 2022
One by One Annual report and financial statements
1. Accounting policies (continued from previous page)
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT (continued from previous page)
Grants to other organisations are recognised as expenditure when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make the grant. This is usually on receipt of the funding request from the relevant partner organisation.
Indirect costs, including governance costs, which cannot be directly attributed to activities, are allocated between activities proportionate to the direct costs incurred in those activities.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Any assets costing more than £500 are capitalised. The only assets held are leasehold property which is valued at cost and subsequently revalued internally against similar properties in the geographical area on an annual basis and revalued by a relevant professional once every three to five years.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits with banks and funds that are readily convertible into cash at, or close to, their carrying values, but are not held for investment purposes.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount is applied.
Creditors
Creditors 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.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost other than investments which are measured at fair value.
Critical estimates and judgements
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The treatment of tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in useful economic lives and residual values of assets. These are reassessed annually.
In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.

The trustees recognise the importance of establishing a reserves policy in line with the Charity Commission’s CC1 9 Charity Reserves: building resilience.
The Charity will keep under regular review the level of its reserves and its reserves policy and will review this policy at least annually. The Charity will continue to run its finances in an efficient and cost-effective manner with the objective of maintaining a balanced budget and to get the maximum value from Charity expenditures. However, the Charity recognises that there are inherent uncertainties in the budgeting process and that prudent financial management may require the maintenance of unrestricted reserves in certain circumstances.
The Charity has identified through a risk review process that it may have to hold reserves for designated purposes. The level of each designated reserve is reviewed on an annual basis. This is the first year of this policy and so there are no comparative figures.
Designated Strategic Plan Reserve
This reserve recognises that current operating income may not be available to explore new strategic opportunities involving new projects or programs in countries where the Charity already operates or in new parts of the world. This reserve may also be required to help fund the closure of existing projects or programs that no longer meet the goals of the Charity. The quantum of this reserve will be determined by specific items within the Charity’s strategic plans for growth and expansion. The Charity expects that items in this reserve to be utilised within two to three years of its creation.

General Reserves
The Board reviews the financial risks facing the Charity and the financial needs of the Charity on a regular basis and in response creates reserves to offset these risks and/or meet the needs. The Charity needs to ensure that it has sufficient general reserves to meet its immediate liabilities and commitments such as salaries, rents and other committed expenditure, not covered by specific funding with restricted reserves.
The Trustees consider a reserve between three and six months cover is required.
These are held to further the Charity’s aims both in the UK and overseas, these aims are stated in the Objectives and activities section in the Trustee Report.
