## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015). 

Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **a. POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES** 

To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public. The relief of the physical and mental sickness of persons in needs, primarily by reason of addiction to substances. To assist in advancing education of persons by developing their mental, physical and moral capabilities. 

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. For the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' primarily means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of unemployment, financial hardship, youth, substance abuse or dependency, poor educational or skills attainment, or as a result of being a member of a socially or economically deprived community.

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES** 

As Trustees of Project Freedom, we are pleased to present our annual report reflecting on the past year - one that has brought its fair share of challenges, but also important growth, renewed vision, and meaningful impact. 

## **A Year of Change and Progress** 

This has been a tough year for many, including the individuals and communities we serve. Amid economic uncertainty and increasing demand for support, we have had to navigate significant financial and operational pressures. Yet, despite the challenges, we are proud of the positive steps we have taken. 

A key milestone was the appointment of our new CEO, Omid Ghanbari,  whose focus on strengthening our operational systems, strategic vision, and future planning has already begun to bring fresh energy and clarity to our mission. This leadership has helped us lay solid foundations for the future, ensuring that our work remains both effective and sustainable. 

## **Strategic Investment for a Stronger Future** 

This year also saw us make the important decision to release equity on our property. This was not taken lightly, but it was a necessary step to enable essential maintenance and repairs. More than that, it allowed us to invest in our future plans - ensuring that our spaces remain safe, welcoming, and fit for purpose, both now and in the years to come.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **Strengthening Our Team and Community** 

We continue to build a strong and committed team of Trustees, staff, and volunteers. The growth in unity and shared purpose has been encouraging, and we are deeply grateful to every individual who has contributed their time, expertise, and heart to our cause. 

Our charity shop remains a powerful part of our mission - not only by offering realistic, affordable pricing on quality goods, but also by providing a welcoming space for connection, dignity, and hope. It is a privilege to see lives impacted daily through both practical support and human kindness. 

## **Our Mission in Action** 

At the heart of our work is a commitment to supporting individuals from all walks of life. We believe in early intervention and the prevention of life-controlling issues, including mental health struggles, addiction, and poverty. Through our charity shop, mentoring programs, volunteering opportunities, and support groups, we aim to equip people to live in lasting freedom. 

It has been an honour to walk alongside families and individuals this year - to offer not just goods, but genuine support, empowerment, and the opportunity to begin again. 

## **Looking Ahead** 

We know the road ahead will bring more work and more challenges. But with strong leadership, wise stewardship, and a clear vision, we are confident that Project Freedom will continue to grow in impact and reach. Together, we remain committed to transforming lives and building stronger communities. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. GOING CONCERN** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

## **b. RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustees continue reviewing the adequacy of the charity's reserves. Currently there is sufficient funds coming in through our income streams to enable the charity to continue meeting its stated aims and objectives. However, our reserves policy as a charity is to hold the minimum equivalent of three months running costs, which at this time we do not. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. CONSTITUTION** 

The Charity is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 21/02/2013 . 

The Charity is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 21/02/2013 and is a registered charity number 1151778. 

## **b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES** 

Page 3 



**PROJECT FREEDOM LTD (A company limited by guarantee)** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. 

## **c. RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. 

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Project Freedom Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PROJECT FREEDOM LTD (the 'Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report. 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** 

As the Trustees of the Charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **PROJECT FREEDOM LTD** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Project Freedom Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **1.2 Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice** 

In preparing these accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. 

No restatements were required. 

## **1.3 Company status** 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £- per member of the Charity.

## **PROJECT FREEDOM LTD** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.4 Income** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

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 Trust 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 treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Donated services or facilities are recognised 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 of the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' 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. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.

## **PROJECT FREEDOM LTD** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised. 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account. 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at costor valuation , net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the costor valuation  of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

- Freehold property 25 years straight line basis Motor vehicles - 20% straight line basis - Computer equipment 20% straight line basis 

## **1.7 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. 

## **1.8 Cash at Bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and 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. 

## **1.9 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## **1.10 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.
