REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
The Rio Ferdinand Foundation ("RFF") seeks to address inequality and poverty through the provision of training, opportunities and pathways for young people to achieve their potential. To deliver against this mission the Foundation has four key pillars of work:
-
Safe spaces for young people;
-
Physical and mental health and wellbeing;
-
Stronger, safer and more inclusive communities; and
-
Progression pathways.
Within these pillars of work the Foundation delivers the following activities:
-
Grassroots sports, arts and educational activities to engage and support young people.
-
Personal development programmes to build confidence, skills and networks;
-
Accredited training pathways to build vocational skills;
-
Volunteering and work placement opportunities to build experience; and
-
Signposting pathways to further education, training and employment.
The Foundation particularly targets provision with working class communities and those facing additional economic and social disadvantage such as minority ethnic groups and those living in poverty.
Public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Volunteers
RFF's projects benefit greatly from the commitment and support of a number of volunteers and their contribution is gratefully acknowledged. The contributions of volunteers have been excluded from the Statement of Financial Activities as the value of their contribution to the charity cannot be reasonably quantified in financial terms.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
2021-22 continued to be a challenging year for the Rio Ferdinand Foundation as the Covid-19 pandemic continued to impact on our work with continuing lockdowns in the early part of the year, ongoing restrictions on engagement and a very changed set of challenges for the young people and communities with which we work as we returned to face to face delivery.
The willingness of funders to re-profile their grants and investments helped mitigate some of these challenges, allowing us to continue to be flexible in returning to work with young people and responding to need, so our core infrastructure remained stable. Some of our private sector sponsorship was again deferred or subject to renegotiation which impacted on our growth as an organisation, however towards the end of the year with funding confirmed for 2022-23 the organisation retained staff through using unrestricted reserves to ensure our services were continued.
In terms of delivery, the Rio Ferdinand Foundation continued to invest in online learning and new digital programmes that enabled the organisation to continue to support young people online, combined with socially distanced outreach work and engagement where possible in the earlier part of the year, whilst the latter part of the year our face-to-face delivery focused on rebuilding relationships and building the confidence and networks of the young people with whom we work.
The Rio Ferdinand Foundation delivered a number of key performance indicators to be noted in 2021-22:
-
Continued investment in new equipment and ways of working to make our venues Covid safe for staff and young people as we returned from covid.
-
Launching a new portfolio of branding, communications, website, and social media with significant input from young people and communities.
-
Ongoing development and implementation of a new partnership with the UEFA Foundation to train and support young people to deliver social action projects to tackle racism and division in Northern Ireland and Ireland, culminating in the BT Sport sponsored Hope Cup in the Summer of 2021 and subsequent broadcast documentary.
-
A new pilot partnership with Warner Music to inspire young people to build skills and employability in the music industry from October 2021.
-
A new partnership with the Gym Group to inspire young people to build skills in the fitness industry.
-
Established new partnerships with Housing Associations in London and Manchester.
-
Continuing ongoing relationships with existing funders to find new ways of working to respond to the challenges of post pandemic society.
Overall, the organisation has sustained its activities in supporting communities and young people through an extremely challenging year, while establishing new networks, partnerships and working practices to build a platform for growth in 2022-23.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review Reserves Introduction
The Charity Commission recognises the need for charities to hold sufficient reserves to secure their viability beyond the immediate future and to protect themselves against future uncertainties. It recommends that charities should be able to demonstrate, by reference to the charity's current position and future prospects, why holding a particular level of reserves is right for the charity at the present time. Responsibility for establishing an appropriate reserves policy lies with the trustees of the charity.
The charity's reserves are allocated to two different types of fund in its financial statements:
Restricted funds
These funds relate to unspent money from grants and other incoming sources where the funder has specified what the money must be spent on and the trustees do not have the power to use the funds for other purposes.
Unrestricted funds
These funds relate to unspent money from grants and other incoming sources where the funder has not specified what the money should be spent on thereby granting the trustees full control to spend on general activities which further the objectives of the charity.
The following relates to the level of unrestricted funds needed by the charity.
Reasons for reserves
Unrestricted reserves may be needed to provide cover and security in the following events:
-
any salary, administration, accommodation and support costs, without which the charity could not function, in the event of a loss of or reduction in funding;
-
any notice and redundancy costs should it be necessary to reduce core staffing levels, or if project staff cannot be redeployed when funding comes to an end;
-
any working capital when funding is delayed or paid in arrears;
-
any deficits arising on restricted funds;
-
any unbudgeted events such as sickness, maternity leave, recruitment to fill existing posts, unexpected replacement of capital items; and
-
any other risks and unforeseen expenditure which may arise that are beyond the charity's control and cannot be met from existing income.
Policy and procedures
The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves needed by the charity and agreed that:
-
the charity should aim to hold unrestricted reserves which are sufficient and will normally exceed three month's estimated operating costs for the organisation as a whole during the following 12 months;
-
should reserves fall below the stated level, the trustees and the chief executive will endeavour to raise additional unrestricted funds as a matter of urgency, or take steps to reduce operating costs; and
-
a summary of this reserves policy and a statement regarding the current level of reserves will be included in the charity's annual report, as required by the Charity Commission's SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice).
Reserves review
The level of reserves will be reviewed annually by the trustees, and charity's financial position will be monitored by the trustees on a regular basis (unless financial circumstances require a more urgent change).
Future plans
Key plans for the development of the charity in 2022-23 include:
-
Appointment of a Training and Progression Manager to lead on the establishment of our training and employability offer.
-
Enhanced fundraising and engagement with the corporate sector to build to extend the range and breadth of our services to young people and build a mixed economy approach to reduce reliance of grant funding bodies.
-
Launch of two pieces of independent research to inform our work in Ireland and in the employability space.
-
Review of staffing structure and project implementation in light of new funding.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102 as amended by Update Bulletin 1) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice' applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)), Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', the Companies Act 2006 and the requirements of the charity's governing documents. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis
The financial statements are drawn up on the going concern basis which assumes the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Board of Trustees have given due consideration to the working capital and cash flow requirements of the charity. The Board of Trustees consider the charity's current and forecast cash resources to be sufficient to cover the working capital requirements of the charity for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, the Board of Trustees have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the charity's accounting policies and the reported assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key areas that are deemed to be material for these financial statements is as follows:
Income recognition
An appropriate proportion of income, sufficient to cover future costs, is deferred to future periods when the charity has obligations extending to future periods. As a result, judgement is required in assessing the extent and associated costs of fulfilling those future obligations. The charity uses historical experience and forecast activity levels in determining the appropriate amount of income to recognise in the current period and how much to defer to future periods.
Allocation of support costs
Allocation of support costs involves an appropriate proportion of staff time and estimated costs. As a result, judgement is required in assessing the extent of staff time and associated costs. The charity uses historical experience and forecast activity levels in determining the appropriate amounts to be allocated.
Volunteers
The value of the contribution of the hours donated by its unpaid volunteers has not been reflected in these financial statements. The SORP does not permit the accounting for such contributions due to the inherent uncertainty in applying an accurate and reliable financial measurement in accordance with the SORP.
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 received in advance of a service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. Income arises in the United Kingdom.
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.
Gifts in kind are valued at estimated value to the charity. They are included in the charity's financial statements if the estimated value is in excess of £500.
Interest receivable 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.
Unrestricted charitable donations are recognised in the financial statements when the charitable donation has been received, or if, before receipt, there is sufficient evidence to provide the necessary certainty that the donation will be received and the value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. A further analysis of this expenditure is given in the notes to the financial statements. - Cost of raising funds comprises the costs of commercial trading and their associated support costs.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of the charity's services undertaken to further the purpose of the charity and their associated support costs.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Support costs, which include general management, payroll administration, budgeting and accounting, information technology, and human resources, are apportioned based on the estimated amount of time spent by the support area on each activity category.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The charity only capitalises items costing more than £200.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Computer equipment - 3 years Fixtures and fittings - 3 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in Statement of Financial Activities.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Taxation
The charity is an institution within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011 and as such is a charity within the meaning of Section 506(1) of the Taxes Act 1988. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by Section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. The charity receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
The charity is an institution which is established for charitable purposes within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011 and as such is a charity within the meaning of Para 1 of Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Sections 478-488 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (formerly enacted in Section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes. The charity receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax. For this reason, the charity is generally unable to recover input VAT it suffers on goods and services purchased. The charity is not registered for VAT, as the trustees consider the charity's sources of income are exempt from VAT. VAT is included within the attributable cost under resources expended.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Leasing commitments
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities evenly over the period of the lease.
Pension costs
From 1 April 2015, under the Pensions Act 2008, the charity must put certain staff into a pension scheme and contribute towards it. This is called automatic enrolment. To comply with automatic enrolment laws, the charity signed a participation agreement with a pension provider by which staff become members of an independently administered pension plan. The charity and staff make contributions as specified in the plan.
In the aforementioned schemes, staff contract directly with the pension company, and assets of those schemes are held separately from those of the charity. The charity acts as agent in collecting and paying over staff pension contributions. Once the contributions have been paid, the charity as employer has no further obligations.
The charity's contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. At the reporting date, outstanding contributions amounted to £463 (2021: £645).
