TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st May 2024
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS
The organization is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24th of May 2012. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding 10.
RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The Charity has a membership, which is open to anyone with a genuine wish to assist in enhancing the wellbeing of those affected by online bullying and hate campaigns. The majority of members are volunteer workers, those that support our cause or those that have been affected by digital abuse.
The constitution lays down that Trustees are appointed from within this membership. However, if an eligible person is recommended, proposed and seconded by members they can be put forward for election as a Trustee provided that they become a member of the Charity.
A Trustee may serve for a maximum period of three years, after which she/he must stand down and, if willing, seek re-election after having been duly proposed and seconded by members. Trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting. This is done by a show of hands or ballot if the number of nominations exceeds the vacancies. All nominated Trustees have to be approved by the existing Board of Trustees prior to the Annual General Meeting.
TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING
Trustees are mainly members and an induction course for them is unnecessary. Any new Trustee who is not a member is given full details of the aims of the Charity and his/her duties and responsibilities and is interviewed by the Director and Secretary of the Charity. All Trustees are issued with copies of the Articles of Association, the Memorandum of Association, the Directors and Secretaries Guide from Companies House and the Responsibilities of Charity Trustees from the Charity Commission.
RESERVES POLICY STATEMMENT Currently, The Cybersmile does not hold any funds as reserves due to lack of any considerable overheads or financial commitments that could potentially put the operational functionality of the charity at risk. Essential Cybersmile operations are safeguarded by ensuring all operational costs are covered for periods of between 12 and 24 months. Operations are flexible in their nature, to allow for streamlining when required.
Regular finance meetings ensure that fundraising activities and sponsorship acquisition targets are met and that future planning for sustainable funding is being implemented. The Reserves Policy Statement will be reviewed at least once per annum by the board of directors.
SAFEGUARDING
With the welfare of service users, employees and volunteers being the charity’s prime objective, the anticipation and elimination of risk is fundamental to our day-to-day activities. All volunteers and members who connect with our service users follow
safeguarding guidelines and policies for reducing risk. All statutory requirements of the appropriate insurances are kept current and are regularly reviewed by The Trustees to this effect.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Mr. C Dugmore is the Director of the charity and acts as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who are responsible for policy decisions.
The Articles of Association state that there shall normally be not less than three and not more than twelve Trustees.
Implementation of policy, human resource issues, financial administration and the day- to-day operation of the Charity is the responsibility of the Director, assisted by staff and volunteer workers.

UKCCIS – UK Council for Child Internet Safety, The Diana Award, NSPCC – National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, CEOP – Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, The Samaritans, The All-Party Parliamentary Group For Bullying, The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Young People and Tech,

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2024
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CYBERSMILE FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31/05/2024 .
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants .
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS 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 you as 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
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2024
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CYBERSMILE FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31/05/2024 .
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants .
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS 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 you as 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
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2024
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
