Projects and Schools Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the We reached 6500 young people in schools in Orpington, Canterbury, Bromley, year Sussex, and North Kent. The Child sex/crime exploitation sessions are to reach and teach at the earliest ages! To our surprise one Teacher said, “they were fun, engaging and by far the best sessions the schools had ever had, “PRU kids begged their teachers to let them have the session again”, young people off loaded concerns that. arose and 99% of the kids said they learnt so much. Over 7000 responses to feedback from CCE/CSE workshops. 95% always say they would reconsider negative behaviors after the workshop, 99% always say that the session was engaging and helpful. 5% will always confess they could still end up in gang. culture as the temptation of money is too much. Prison Cohesion project Delivering to offenders and reducing violence and preparing for resettlement. We supported over 80 young offenders. . Our future We continue providing early intervention and prevention in schools. • Focus more on rehabilitation of young offenders in prison and in the community in 2024 onwards and explore all options to get young offenders out of crime, changing mindsets and into employment. • We hope to develop a cohort of partners and networks with the same goal in mind. • Recruit young people who we have rehabilitated from offending behavior via youth work training - We will be supporting some of society’s most vulnerable and marginalised people to break the destructive cycle of addiction and crime initially in Rochester prison and Elmley. Lennox and the team will be delivering lived experience 1-2-1 and group work sessions as part of this project and sharing his story of recovery. This will help to instill hope and show participants that change is possible as they prepare for discharge. • Pull stakeholders and community together to plan and develop a supportive residential rehabilitation unit i.e., housing, employability, and training. • Continue to develop our training resources and deliver more training to organisations working with young people. • The Safer Communities Alliance CIC are helping us to collaborate with community and develop a parent forum, that will enable them to meet, share their experiences and speak directly to authorities and professionals including decision

Refocus Project Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Taxation

A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Provisions

Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Pensions

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
