The Chair's
Statement
On the 1 st of April 2023, it was a real honour and privilege for me to take over the Tole of Chair
at Leadership Through Sport and Business (LTSB) from David Pinchin, who founded the Charity
in 2012. Over his 12-year tenure as Chair, David, the Trustees, and staff developed LTSB into a
leading Social Mobility charity that has transformed the lives of over 1500 young people from
disadvantaged backgrounds, who now have a positive long-term future ahead of them. David
has rightly become our Founding Patron at LTSB and has left an endurin9 legacy for me and
everyone else at LTSB to protect and develop.
Since my appointment, I have seen the positive impact that LTSB has on the lives of those we
support. From initial interviews to the bootcamps, through to employment and continued
support, the LTSB staff ale constantly on hand to encourage our young people, develop their
skills, and give them the confidence lo develop a long term career in their chosen profession. Of
course, it is also important to recognise the key role our employers playi championing the best
from all backgrounds and offering career opportunities that significantly change young people,
lives, and in many cases that of their f amilies.
It is clear that the need for our Social Mobility programmes will remain high, and it is incumbent
upon everyone at LTSB to do all they can to increase the number of young people that we place
into our programmes. However, this will only be achieved if LTSB is able to increase the number
of employers it works with. That is why one of my immediate priorities has been to develop a
clear 5-year strategy for growth, which includes developing long term relationships with a
greater number of employers. I have also implemented the restructuring of both the Trustees and
Senior Leadership team at LTSB that will enable them to focus their time and efforts on ensurin9
we meet our Charitable mission and objectives. I look forward to giving further updates on our
progress over the next few years.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Trustees, Patrons, staff, employers,
funders, donors, and supporters for the hard work that enables LTSB to deliver their much-
needed Social Mobility programmes. I would also like to recognise the importance of the young
people, both past and present. Your enthusiasm and commitment to our programmes is
remarkable, and LTSB would not be where it is today without your dedication and loyalty.

Trustees, Report
The Trustees present their Annual Report together with the audited financial statements of the
Charity for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023. The Annual Report serves the purposes of
both a Trustees, report and a directors, report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the
Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current
statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and
the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the
UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Charity qualifies as small under Section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic
Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic
Report and Directors, Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Our Vision
A world where all young people can choose their careers.
Our Mission
LTSB prepares, connects and supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to
careers with leading organisations.
Our programmes are designed to tackle the structural inequality in education and employment
that prevents social mobility. We work with bright young people from lower socio-economic
backgrounds across the UK and unlock their potential through personal and professional
development and career-making employment. We do this by..
Promoting opportunities to those from under-represented backgrounds
Preparing young people for the workplace, and the workplace for young people
Placing candidates in careers, stewardin9 and contextualising their application
Providing pastoral care - a support network for the first year of their career.
Our Programmes
We help young people establish careers in the Business & Finance, Contact Centre, Customer
Service, Digltal, Legal and Marketin9 sectors. After our industry-specialised pre-employment
programmes prepare them for work, we place them in meaningful roles and support them
throughout the f irst year of their career.
Public Benefit
LTSB operates for public benefit and general charitable purposes according to the laws of
England and Wales. The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on
public benefit in deciding the activities undertaken by the Charity durin9 the year, and in
planni ng activities and setting policies for the year ahead.
Beneficiaries
The beneficiaries of LTSB are young people between the ages of 16 and 24 from disadvantaged
backgrounds.
p3

Assessment of Public Benefit
At each Trustees, meetingi the Trustees review reports prepared by the Senior Leadership Team.
The reports cover5 programme impact and results, programme development, policy changes,
f und raising, f inancial performance, and organisational risks. This enables the Trustees to ensure
they are in line with our strategy and that we are effectively operating for the benefit of the
public in accordance with our objectives.
The Trustees are satisfied that the information provided in the report meets the public benefit
reporting requirements. LTSB may also pursue other charitable purpose or purposes according
to the law of England and Wales as the Trustees in their absolute discretion shall select from
time to time.

Future Plans
We have confirmed a five-year strategy Wlth three main aims..
Ensure more young people are placed into meaningful careers and complete the first year
of employment.
We have projected consistent but modest growth of our core employment programme,
reflecting our commitment to our beneficiaries. In a still-diff icult jobs market, we cannot
significantly expand the input of young people without high confidence in a matching output
of job opportunities.
Increase financial resilience through diversified provision.
While our ultimate focus is employment, diversified provision both expand5 our work and
increases funding opportunities with three new work streams: a schools programme thal
raises aspirations,. a community programme that gives practical tips to young job seekers,.
and an employer advocacy programme that will use our impact to create systemic change.
Create a culture of high standards, well-being and belonging.
We are creating a quality assurance role which will develop delivery staff by assessing them
against a new competency framework. We're recognising and rewarding those high
standards by investing in professional development, bringing in new employee support
systems and policies, and celebrating success.
p6

Fundraising
We are grateful to our funders, without whom the work of LTSB would not be possible. We
generate funds through a range of income streams. Business development and funding activity is
also supported by other colleagues within the organisation and Trustees.
We take our fundraising responsibility seriously and have policies in place to ensure good
practice, in line with the charity governance code. We have never received a complaint
regarding our fundraising practice, but our Finance and Risk Committee are the nominated body
to handle complaints should they arise.
Fundraising Activities
On 30th March 2023 LTSB held a 10th anniversary fundraising gala. The target was to raise
£60,000 and the final result, after auction fees, was £57,523. All income and expenditure was
incurred during the year. The sale of tickets was carried out by the employment team to
employer partners and other stakeholders. This was carried out internally with no external
commercial assistance. LTSB used the services of an external Charity auction agency to provide
auction items together with gifts given to the charity which were auctioned on the night.
Neither LTSB nor any person acting on behalf of the charity was subject to an undertaking to be
bound by any voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising, or voluntary standard lor fundraisin9
in respect of activities on behalf of the charity.
Governance
LTSB is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed.
LTSB is a well-governed charity with a board drawn from many different sectors, and a clear
commitment to continuous learningi improvement and strengthening. Trustees are particularly
keen to ensure the voices of young people and staff are heard at governance level and inform
their decision makin9.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 per member to the
assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this
entitles them only to voting rig hts. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
Trustee Recruitment and Induction
Election, retirement and re-election of Trustees are carried out according to the procedures set
out in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, which is our governing document.
LTSB reviews and recruits new Trustees to ensure the board is diverse and has the range of skills,
knowledge and experience necessary to comply with its collective responsibility.
Since our last report, two trustees have resigned: Dr Toyin Okitikpi, and Judge Peter Lodder KC.
Everyone at LTSB is grateful for their service.
All new Trustees have an induction to ensure their understanding of the role of Trustees under
charity law and being a Director under company law. Induction also provides an overview of
LTSB, its mandate, policies, procedures, structurei governance, mission and strategic direction
with particular reference to the Charity Commission guidance.
p7

Role of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-
opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
The Board of Trustees meet formally four times a year and have ultimate responsibility for
ensuring that=
LTSB complies with statutory and regulatory requirements,
the strategic d irection is in line with the LTSB constitutional objects,
operational and financial management is in line with both LTSB'S strategic goals and the
organisation's means,
we are answerable to our beneficiaries and to our supporters, and
there are adequate systems and procedures in place for good risk management.
The board is responsible for safeguarding funds entrusted to us to positively change the lives of
young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The board sub-committees provides oversight
on Finance and reports to the main board. We have a zero tolerance policy on fraud, bribery and
corruption. Where appropriate, Trustees may take independent professional advice at no
personal expense. LTSB ha5 Trustees, Liability in5UTance in place which is reviewed periodically.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. This assumes that the
Company will Continue to operate for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve
months from the date of approval ol these financial statements and will be able to meet their
debts as they fall due.
The Trustees have reviewed the financial forecast fol the next twelve months and are confident
that with a healthy cash reserve balance, contracts in place, and fundraising 5ucce55es that
LTSB is on a secure financial footing. We have continued lo receive funding in the period since
the year-end, and at the date of signing the financial statements, LTSB had suff icient cash to
Cover more than six months of expenditure. Based on these factors, the Trustees consider it
appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a 90ing concern basis.
Remuneration Policy for Key Management Personnel
Remuneration for LTSB'S key management personnel is decided by the CEO, in consultation with
the Chair, and submitted to the Board for approval.
Financial Review
Total incoming resources for the year were £1,760,528 (2022-. £1,534,487} and total outgoing
resources £1,310,675 (2022= £1,106,078), producing a surplus of £449,853 (2022.. £428,409).
At the year end, the charity had unrestricted (free) reserves of £ 963,171 (2022.. £605,709), fixed
assets of £2,936 (2022: £6,681) and designated reserves of £339,835 (2022.. £nil). This resulted
in total unrestricted reserves of £1,305,942 (2022: £612,390).
Restricted reserves were £336,601 (2022: £580,300), giving total net reserves of £1,642,543
(2022: £1,192,690).
Reserves
The Trustees believe that LTSB should hold at least six months operating costs in reserve to
ensure that the charity can continue to operate effectively in the event of unforeseen
circumstances arising. LTSB had sufficient free reserves as at 30 June 2023 to meet this
p8

obligation. Due to our investment in staff, operating costs are assessed quarterly to ensure that
the levels held are still suff icient to support the charity's growth.
Risk Management and Internal Control
In accordance with good governance practices, the board regularly assesses the major risks to
which the Charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the operations and finances of the
Charity. Each year the board undertake a comprehensive review of the risks faced by the Charity
and of the steps and procedures needed to avoid and mitigate them, revising Its Risk Reglster a5
appropriate, and ensuring it is satisfied that the necessary safeguards and procedures are in
place, and that it can respond promptly to all foreseeable risks that may arise.
A scheme of delegation is in place and the day to day operation of the Charity rests with the
CEO. The CEO is responsible for ensuring that the Charity delivers the services specified and
that key performance indicators are met.
To ensure adherence to the Risk Management policy as stated above, the Charity management..
maintains a Risk Register
continually reviews, monitors, takes action and documents risks facing the Charity
brings any serious potential h igh risk to the attention of the Board as soon as it is known
issues up-to-date Risk Register to the board annuallyi as well as any action taken or planned
to be taken.
Principal Risks & Mitigations
We have identified the key risks to LTSB as..
Finance - high proportion of operational income from a sin9le company
Safeguarding
Recruitment
Finance
The principal risk to the charity is the proportion of income from a single corporate. We have
recently had a three-year extension to the contract and high levels of delivery-satisfaction, bul
nevertheless loss of this income would signif icantly reduce our ability to maintain current levels
of expenditure and impact.
Our new five-year strategy has funding diversification as a main aim, with additional
programmes which will generate funds from a range of sources, including institutional and
individual donors, events, corporates and commissioned income from contracts. We have good
liquidity and strong reserves, including a healthy cash balance. All of this would allow us
suff icient time and resource to address any sig nificant changes to the organ isation.
Safeguarding
LTSB'S trustees and senior management team recognise that safeguarding our young people is a
priority. As we grow it is i nevitable that we will deal with more actual or potential saf eguarding
issues, particularly supporting mental health and housing issues. With the appointment of a
safeguarding officer, our reporting and documentation structures have been revised and
improved; the delivery team receives annual safeguarding and trauma-informed practice
training,. and safeguarding issues are reported as a standing agenda item at executive meetings.
p9

Recruitment
Our programmes need both young people from disadvantaged backgrounds capable of careers
with major companies, and employers committed to social mobility who will provide full-time,
living-wage opportunities. Both types of recruitment pose challenges, and some are outside our
ability to control. In mitlgation, we have a dedicated Employment team to develop relationship5
with companies, a Communications team to make the case publicly for social mobilityi and a
focused recruitment strategy that reviews previous campaigns to refine advertising reach and
effectiveness.

## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Leadership Through Sport and Business** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Leadership Through Sport and Business (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2023, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including the income and expenditure account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 30 June 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

13 



## **Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)** 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 11, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

14 



## **Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)** 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims. 

- enquiry of the charity's staff, management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/library/standards-codes-policy/audit-assurance-and-ethics/auditorsresponsibilities-for-the-audit/. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Leadership Through Sport and Business 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

Leadership Through Sport and Business meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The trustees are very confident that with a healthy cash reserve balance, the multi-year contracts in place and the increase in the number of corporate partnerships, the charity is on a secure footing to create increased social impact in a financially robust way. The trustees are confident in our ability to generate funds from a variety of sources and support our funding diversification strategy. 

The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Leadership Through Sport and Business 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (continued) 

## **c Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions 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. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## **d Donated services and facilities** 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

## **e Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

## **f Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. 

## **g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Costs of raising funds include all expenditures incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and include costs of all fundraising events and non-charitable 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **h Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 8. 

## **i Operating leases** 

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## **j Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (continued) 

## **k 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. 

## **l Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **m Creditors and provisions** 

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. 

## **n Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **o Pensions** 

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were £4,631 outstanding contributions at the year end.

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (continued) 

## **11 Trustee remuneration and expenses, and related party transactions** 

No members of the management committee received any renumeration or reimbursed expenses during the year (2022: Nil). 

No members of the management committee received travel and subsistence expenses during the year (2022: £Nil).

Under strict agreement and control by the Board, the Charity employs Catherine Gurner, married to Darren Gurner (Trustee). The relationship is reported on the Charity’s Register of Interests and managed under the Charity’s conflict of interest policy. The setting of the employee’s salary and position in the Charity is under the control of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board, and any changes must be approved by the Finance Committee (of which Darren Gurner is not a member). The Board consider the arrangement to be fair and in the best interest of the Charity. Catherine Gurner is the Head of Business Development as part of the Employment Team. Her salary is comparable to that of those with similar responsibilities who work within the Charity. Her salary does not fall above the benefits bandings, which require disclosure in note 10.

## **12 Corporation tax** 

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the charity.
