As we approach our remarkable 20th anniversary, APE MEDIA. nestled in the vibrant heart of Newham in
East London. reflects proudly on our enduring commitment to empowering young people. Over two dynamic
decades, we've evolved to meet the diverse needs of young people. their families, and our c4)mmunities. Our
unwavering focus has been to provide enriching opportsmities within and beyond school settings for the
youth we serve.
Our mission steadfastly addresses the core challenges of poverty, injustice, and disadvantage within our
community. These issues lie at the heart of our work.
In response to the unprecedented challenges posed by Covid-19, APE MEDIA, like many charitable
organizations, adapted its strategies. We recognized the intensified S￿la1 and economic obstacles facing
children, young people. and their families. The pandemic, coupled with the daily pressures of rising living
Costs and constrained local budgets, has taken a profound toll.

Recent research from Young Minds, published on Septrmber 26. underscores the direct impact of declining
mental h￿[th on a child's ability to learn. APE MEDIA acknowledges the vital role of arts in nurtUTin8
happine￿ which, in turn, unlocks young people's potential.
Operdting within the London Borough of Newham and across London, we acknowledge the unique
challenges faced by our communities. particularly among the underserved. disadvantaged, and Blark and
Minority Ethnic (BAME) populations. Our world has tran5fonnd, and navigating this post-covid,
economically strained reality is a defming test of our collective character.
At APE MEDIA, we recognize that we cannot address the needs of our students aDd their families in
isolation. Collective action is our guiding Principle. Collabotating with our partners, we've defLned collective
adion as hamessing our strengths, fostering collaboration among diverse organiLgtions. uniting people under
a shared purpose. and passionately driving change together. Our collective action will evolve as we learn
from our experiences. forge stronger partnerships, fund diverse opportunities, adapt to thange, and share
knowledge and skills.
In this ever<volving landscape, APE MEDIA h&$ be￿ at the forefronL particularly through projects like
#Apemediaclub. We've empowered Black and Brown children and young people. equipping them with
invaluable media skills and opportuniti4 thanks to our dedicated delivery partners. Together, we nurture
talent, foster creativity, and shape a brighter future for the diverse communitie5 of East London.
We have worked with 117 C&YP this year.

Fun(ts and Reserves
Th¢ Diredors consider this level of general reserves as insufficient and are developing strategies for
fundraising. The Directors would like to r￿rve £10,000 for unexpected costs or fluctsations in planned
income.
Reserve Polic
The Board of Directors has examined the Companies requI￿rnent for reserves in light of the Tnain risks to the
organi7ation for specific PUTposes or otherwise committed. The Board of Directors considers that, giv¢n the
natLLre of the Companies work. the level of reserves should be, to have suffici￿t working capital to cover
costs i.e. staff redundancies and closure costs at any one time and allow the charity to cope and respond to
unforeseen emergencies whilst speLific action plans are implemented. In the short temi the Board of
Directors has also considered the extent to which existing activities and exrtnditure curtailed, should such
circumstances arise.
Risk Revlew
The major risks (increased risk of firture pandemics and reliance on histori¢ funders) to which the charity is
exposed have been reviewed and systems are being established to mitigate those risks. funding risk is being
addressed through building new partnerships and diversifying sources of fyndin8.

Respeetiye responsibilities of Mallagemellt Committee and Examiller:
The trnstees (who ar¢ also the directors of the ¢ompany for the purposes of wmpany law) are
r¢spon5Tble for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's truste￿ consider that an audit is
not requi￿1 for this year under section 144 of th¢ Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and
that an independent examination is needed.
It is tny responsibility to:
examine the accoullts under s¢rtion 145 of the Charities Ac¢
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the ChaTity
Commission under section 145{5Xb) of the Chariti¢s ACL and
to statc whether particular matt¢rs have ￿me to my attention.
BASIS of Independent Examiner's Ststement:
My examination was Carri￿ out in a¢cordan¢¢ with general directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting tEcords kept by the Charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. Tt also includes consideration
of any unusual itelns or disc105ures in the accounts. al￿ seeking explanations from the
trust¢es concerning any such matters. The procedures ulldertaken do not provide all th¢
evidence that would be required in an audiL and consequently no opinion is given 8S to
whether the accounts wesenl a 'trn¢ and fair view, and the rew)rt is IiEllited to those matters
set out in the statsment below.
Independent Examiner's Statement..
In Connection with my exami[￿tion, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that:
accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the
Companies Act 2006
the acwunts do not &c￿rd with such records
where accounts prepared on a accnjal basis, whether they fail to comply
with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies
Act 21X)6. or are not consistent and with the Charities SORP (FRSI 02)
any matter wbich the examiner believe5 should be drawn to th¢ att¢ntioD of
th¢ reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
