Spear
2022 has been a bnlliant yearfor the Spear Brighton team. Here's a rundown of the year in numbers=
61 young ppople completed the Spear Programmel
920/0 of those we worked wth were facing at least one signifKant barrierto employment (these include their
mental health. 50cio-economic factors like housing or generational unemployment, criminal records and
family involvéd in crimè, nÈurodivergen¢e and learning difficulties, lack of qualifications, care leavers).
54% gf these young people were already in work or education 3 months after finishing the programme.
79YD of tho88 who did Spear a ye8T ago are still in workleducalionl
ly did the programme in September, she shared this at eelebralion..
"I was Scared about getting a job. so l avoided jobs like the plague- especially afterthe job I really wante(l ignored
me. INhen rny woik coach suggested the Spear Programme lo me il sounded too good to be true, bul Spear has
utterly changèd me ag a per50n. l am so much more confident right now. Like everyone else hele. before I would
not have been standing on stage. This programme helped me realise that l am far more capable than I thought I
was. Forexample. in th8 firstWÉ8kwè had ourfirsl préséntation as a group and the fèedback from Ihatwas amazing
and encouraged me to push myselfmuch further. Al my mork inlotview, my inl¢rvi¢werapparonlty was so impTgssed
with me that she offered me a trial shift and on the ba¢k of that she ended up giving me a job. I highly recomtnend
th8 Spear Pwrdmme for anyone who struggles with ¢onfidence.'
This year has been defined by building relationships with the city. This is key to the mission of Spear. we exist not
just to impact and &mpowÈr yourtg pèople facing barriers to employment, but to inspire and envision the

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Extenlto which tha auditwas consld•r•d capable of detecting Irregularittès, includlng fraud
The objectives of our audit, in rèspect lo fraud, ale.. lo identify and 8sse85 the risks ol matÈri81 misstalemenl of the
rinancial statements due lo fraud., lo obtain sufficignl appropriatè audit evidence regarding the ass@s8ed risks of
material mi$5taleTh￿nI due to fraud, through designing and implementing approwiate responses., and lo respond
appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However. the pritnary Tesponsibilty for the
prevention and detection offraud rests with bolh those charged with governance ofthe entty and its management.
Our approach was as ￿11￿5..
We identified area$ of laws and regulstions that could reasonably be expected lo have a material effect on
the financial statèménts from our g¢neral sector experience, and through diseussion wtth Ihp Iru81ees and
other mana9emÈnl las require¢J by auditing standards), and dis¢ussed with the tru8lees and other
managem¢nl the policies and procedures regardlng cornpliance with laws and regulations (see below).,
We idenlified the following areas as thosè Most likely to have such an effect.. health and safety,. General
Dats Protection Regulatson (GDPRI.. fraud., bribery and corruption, and employment law. Auditing
standards limit the required audit procedures to idèntify non-complianoe with these laws and regulations to
e￿U]ry of the trustees and other mana9em8nt and inspection of regulatory and lÈgal correspondence, rf
any. The identified actu81 or suspected non-compliance was not sufficiently signrficant to our audit lo result
in our response being identified as a key audit matter.
We considered the legal and regulatory framéwo￿¥ directly appllGable lo the financial slalements reporting
framewoik IFRS 102 and the and Charities Act 20111 and the telovanl lax compliance regulations in the
UK.,
We Gon8idered the nature of the charfty's operations, the control enviionment and financial perfowmance.
We communio8led identified laws and ￿gulatiOnS throughout our team and rgm8lned alert to any
indications of non-compllance throughout the audit.,
We considered the procedures and contro15 that the charity h8s established lo address risks identrfiod, or
that othèrwse prevent, deter and d816¢t fraud.. and how senior management ￿￿nItorS thos8 prtsgrammes
and controls.
Based on this under8tanding wa designed our audit procedures to identify non.compli8nce with such laws ar
regulations. Whère the riskwas considered to be higher, we perfomèd audit procedures lo address eAeh idénlTrfied
fraud risk. These proGedure5 included.. testing manual joumals,. reviewing the financial statement disclosures and
testing lo supporting documenlation,. pèrftsrmEng analytical piocedures., and enquiring of managoment. and were
designed lo provide roasonable assurance that the financial slalements w¢iE free from fraud or eTlOr.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, Ihere is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected som8
rnaterial misstatéments in the financial stat8mènts, even though we have properly planned and perfomi8d our audri
in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-complianeèwith laws and regulations
lirregularitiesl is frorn the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherenlly
limited procedures ￿quired by auditing 8tsndards would idèntify it. The risk 15 also greater règ8rding irregularities
owurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involve8 inlentsonal concèalmént, forgery, Gollusion, omission or
misrepresenlalion. We ar8 not responsible for Preventing non-cornpliance and Cannot be expected to delecl non-
complian¢e ￿th all laws and regulations.
