The Bike Project went from strength to strength in 2020 despite what was an immensely challenging year due to the disruptive impact of Covid-19. 

The pandemic has made our work more important than ever. Refugees were unable to take public transport not just because it was expensive but because there was an increased risk of contracting Covid-19. In addition to that, the lockdown restrictions increased the sense of loneliness and isolation that refugees already felt. 

he increased need during such a challenging period. By innovating and adapting quickly, we managed to reach thousands of refugees across all of our programmes while simultaneously significantly growing all of our income streams. In difficult circumstances, this is no mean feat. 

challenges and opportunities thrown up by the pandemic. They have approached the problems with cool heads and have moved quickly to capitalise on the new opportunities to deliver impact and increase revenue. 

Looking forward to 2021, we are by no means out of the woods yet as the twin challenges of Covid19 and Brexit continue to create uncertainty and disruption across all sectors, particularly in charities. We will need to be vigilant about Covid-19 and alert to a quickly changing environment 

Finally, we are eternally grateful to our supporters who moved incredibly quickly and at scale to help us meet the new challenges. None of this could have happened without their generosity in a time of crisis.

## AR/FS 











The Trustees, who are the directors for company law purposes, present their report and financial statements of The Bike Project for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 28 to 33 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

This report has been prepared in accordance with Part VIII of the Charities Act 2011. 


## _**STRUCTURE**_ 

The Bike Project is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended by special resolution passed on 7 December 2014). The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to a maximum of £1. 

## _**GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**_ 

In accordance with the governing document, there shall be not less than three Directors at any 

Directors are appointed on the basis of specific skills and knowledge to enable them to make a contribution to the management of the charity. In order for Directors to undertake such 

process. 

The Board delegates the day-to-day management of the charity to the Chief Executive and/or other managers who implement the policies and strategy adopted by and within a budget approved by the Trustees. Decision making is made by decision of majority of trustees present and voting at trustees' meetings (held up to five times per calendar year). Participation in decision making takes into account potential conflicts of interest, and in the case of equal numbers for and against, the Chair holds the casting vote. 

update in relation to activities and present items for discussion. In between meetings, the Board are in regular contact, including oversight of timely (monthly) management accounts and any other relevant updates on activity. 

The key management personnel of The Bike Project are the Directors (who are also the trustees) and the Chief Executive. The trustees receive no remuneration for their role on the Board. The Chief Executive's pay is reviewed annually following his performance appraisal and is agreed by the trustees.

## _**STATEMENT ON PUBLIC BENEFIT**_ 

The objectives and activities, and achievement and performance sections of this report clearly set out the activities, which the charity undertakes for the public benefit. The Directors confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. 

## _**RISK MANAGEMENT**_ 

The Directors have reviewed the major and financial risks that impact on the work of the charity. The systems that have been established enable the Directors to review and take necessary steps to lessen these risks. The Directors use a risk register which ranks risks by likelihood and impact. These are summarised on a dashboard that is monitored and updated by both the senior leadership team and the Directors. 

In March 2020, in response to the risk from Covid-19, The Bike Project immediately ceased bike collections from workshops and paused all face-to-face activities such as Pedal Power, Bike Buddies and volunteering until further guidance was issued. We redesigned our systems to facilitate either no or minimum contact for customers, beneficiaries and staff, in order to continue our core services. Switching to a no-contact, home-delivery model for refugees and shop customers with wrap-around support in the form of a new, online programme: Cyber Cyclists ensured that staff could work safely to provide essential services and refugees and customers would not have to use public transport to access our services. 

We are not aware of any significant impact from Brexit; while there may be some adverse impact arising from increased costs to stock supplies, this is difficult to establish, and as none of our sales are EU exports and we are not dependent on EU funding, we do not envisage any significant adverse impact from Brexit. 

Other open risks logged are: 


- Other, larger, more established bike retailers latch on to the second-hand bike market and we begin competing for bikes and sales where we currently have a niche. We consider this risk to be high and regularly review our competitors in the industry to keep abreast of any changes in their sale offerings. Were this risk realised, we would increase our marketing campaigns to advocate the advantages of donating a bike and highlighting the benefits this would make for refugees. We would also target other locations with pop-up bike drops with the aim of allowing donors to donate their bikes with minimal effort

- Should companies who provide benefits of gifts in kind such as Salesforce licenses, Twilio support, Canva and other discounts that we get on software e.g. Microsoft change their criteria and withdraw these gifts. e monitor it by maintaining a log of current systems, their full and discounted costs and undertake a full cost analysis when choosing new software and develop solutions which are not overly reliant on the highest subscription costs. e.g. salesforce licenses. We also regularly review alternative options as they appear on market. Should this risk be realised we would seek discretionary discounts, or alternative software which may be offering charitable discounts.  Where there are none, or swapping is not a viable option, we would need to accept this risk and build these costs into future funding budgets. 


- There is a risk of staff injury in the workplace, enhanced by the fact that many staff travel between sites, as well as operate tools and equipment. Based on the fact there were two recent significant incidents, this is more likely than we originally thought. Despite this, the are currently in the middle of a huge overhaul of our health and 

- safety processes and culture. This involves setting up several new committees, engaging external consultants, and delivering regular training. We also reviewed our investigative procedures to ensure that the first priority is to support the injured person and the second priority is to make areas safe. 

## _**OBJECTIVES**_ 

Our key mission is to take second-hand bikes, fix them up and donate them to refugees and asylum seekers in London and Birmingham. 

Our aim is to get refugees cycling. The charity provides an innovative solution to one of the most pressing problems facing refugees in the UK: the cost of public transport and the impact that lack of mobility has on the daily lives of refugees. The Bike Project has demonstrated a bike makes a difference beneficiaries are better equipped to access vital services, more connected to their community, happier, healthier, and financially better off (saving on average £20 per week, or £1, 040 a year). 

We have full operational facilities in both London and Birmingham with workshops and a full staffing compliment at both sites. Although we also run roadshows and are expanding our target locations. 

Our main areas of delivery are in: 







- Bike Donations: where we collect, refurbish and donate bikes to refugees Pedal Power: which aims to get refugee women cycling and socialising 

- Bike Buddies: Where we match and experienced cycle volunteers to refugees enabling them to cycle together. The programme focuses on building confidence and knowledge of road cycling 

- Cyber cyclists: Aimed at reducing isolation for refugees particularly during Covid19 and encouraging refugees to stay physically active 

- Virtual Dr Bike Sessions: Where we provide training on simple bike repairs (e.g. repairing a puncture) 

- Volunteering and Training opportunities: Providing training opportunities in Build a Bike workshops, Talent Development and Apprenticeships for those refugees eligible to work

Our charitable objects are (as defined by our Articles of Association): 


- To provide relief for those seeking asylum and those granted refugee status and their dependants who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress; 


- To develop the capacity and skills of socially disadvantaged communities in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society; 


- To advance the education of all ages of the public in the safe use, re-use and maintenance of bicycles; and 


- The protection and preservation of the environment in particular by saving bicycles from landfill and promoting bicycle re-use and recycling 

To achieve these goals, we collect, repair, and distribute second hand bikes to refugees and asylum seekers. 


## _**OUR WORK**_ 

We collect bicycles, refurbish them, donate them to refugees and asylum seekers in London and Birmingham and support them to cycle safely. 

1. The bikes are donated: we collect bikes from individuals and institutions - these include the police, local councils, and property firms. In 2020, as many of our drop-off points closed, we launched pop-up bike collections where volunteers would host collection points at or near their homes. 

2. The bikes are repaired: we employ professional mechanics who repair and recondition the bikes at our workshop. 

3. The bikes are gifted: scheme where refugees come to our workshop to help refurbish their own bike in a friendly and supportive environment, most of the bikes in 2020 were van-delivered to beneficiaries. Although this increased our costs significantly, it allowed us to donate bikes to refugees safely as they no longer had to take public transport to reach us. 

4. Some bikes are sold: we sell some of the bikes we receive, particularly vintage and collectable and invest the proceeds into the wider work of the charity.

5. We run three ancillary programmes: we provide cycle training for refugee women, Pedal Power, to support the donation of bicycles; a befriending project, Bike Buddies, which matches local cyclists and beneficiaries to improve the cycle confidence of refugees new to cycling; and we launched Cyber Cyclists at the start of lockdown to support refugees and keep them cycling through this period. While Pedal Power, and Bike buddies were suspended for part of the year, they had both resumed to some extent by the end of 2020. 

Despite the lockdown, The Bike Project has maintained or grown its operations in 2020: 


- 1,409 bikes were donated to refugees - down only 8% from 2019 and making a total of 7,289 since we launched 


- We sold 1,115 bikes and generated £366,561 in revenue from bike sales almost 100% increase on 2019 (£186,693) 


- 53 refugee women attended Pedal Power cycling lessons. A further 121 sessions to support refugees cycling were delivered through our new online programme, Cyber Cyclists 


- £1,367,232 was received in grants and donations of which £202,653 was donated goods and services 


- 4,024 hours donated by 138 awesome volunteers, 33% of whom were beneficiaries (up from 29% in 2018) 


Established 15 new Bike Buddy matches between cyclists and refugees 


The staff team increased to 23.8 FTE 


- 53 different countries were represented among our beneficiaries and we estimate £1,409,000 has been saved on transport fares thanks to our bike donations 


- Responding to the cycling boom with new retail products introducing Bike Servicing and the sale of new bikes 


- Introduced new fundraising streams though a new virtual challenge, Refugee Routes, and hosting online events. 

## _**BIKES DONATED**_ 

In 2020, we donated 1,409 bikes, an 8% decrease on 2019. _This reduction is largely due to the increased time requirements of delivering bikes by van instead of hosting workshop sessions._

## AR/FS 





Three months after beneficiaries have received their bikes, we contact them to monitor the impact on their lives. Responses have consistently shown that approximately 93% of refugees and asylum seekers were still using their bikes every week after this three-month period. Those who were not cycling gave reasons such as the weather, being dispersed to another part of the UK or their bike being broken or stolen. 

A bike saves each refugee at least £20 a week in transport costs (the price of a weekly bus ticket), a saving worth 53% of their £37.75 weekly allowance. That makes a minimum annual saving of £1,000 for every bike donated totalling £1,409,000 across our 1,409 beneficiaries in 2020. 


- A bicycle also provides practical benefits, enabling users to access essential legal, educational and health services, as well as local amenities and social activities. After receiving a bike, 85% of beneficiaries say they have done new things or visited new places and beneficiaries are twice as likely to be in education, working or volunteering after collecting a bike. 

In addition, a bike has an emotional impact on refugees, helping them to feel fitter, happier and a part of their local community. In-depth interviews conducted with our volunteers of refugee origin and published in The Lancet also found that The Bike Project: 




- Provides opportunities to bring people together from different backgrounds to reduce prejudice and negative stereotyping 

Increases trust between people and communities 

Reduces social isolation, loneliness and increases social confidence. 

## _**VOLUNTEERING**_ 

Our regular Thursday workshop sessions bringing refugees and local volunteers together were suspended in March due to Covid 19. In lieu of our workshop sessions, we engaged and retained volunteers through a series of community Pop-Up bike collections. Over 2020, we managed 88 volunteers who supported us both in our workshop sessions and in hosting 28 pop up bike collections in London and the West Midlands. 

We are proud of the fact that The Bike Project now employs five former refugees on the team one of which was a former volunteer. The roles undertaken by these new employees range from workshop, administration and management staff. Our focused Talent Development programme offers individually supported volunteering opportunities to encourage a higher proportion of beneficiaries to return to volunteer with us, Volunteering is particularly helpful for those prohibited from working so that they can feel part of a supportive community, develop skills and confidence to increase preparedness for the UK workplace. 

Post year end, we increased our board size to include two refugees both of whom were former volunteers so that those with lived experience are represented at the highest level in the organisation.

## AR/FS 



Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily suspend the Talent Development Programme in March 2020, but aim to reinstate it in 2021. 

## _**PEDAL POWER (WOMEN S PROJECT) AND BIKE BUDDIES**_ 

Pedal Power and Bike Buddies, which both normally involve group meetups, were unable to be run during 2020. We were able to redesign the Pedal Power as a 1-1 training programme with weekly online socials to enable refugee women to safely access cycle training during the pandemic. We trained 53 Pedal Power participants to cycle in 2020. We were also able to continue matching trained bike buddies with our beneficiaries and established 15 new bike buddy matches between cyclists and refugees. 

## _**CYBER CYCLISTS**_ 

and support refugees online: daily online sessions for our beneficiaries and volunteers including yoga, fitness classes, external speakers, and other cycling topics. We delivered 121 sessions of Cyber Cyclists in 2020. 

## _**BENEFICIARIES**_ 

In the last 12 months, we have given bikes to refugees who live all over London and Birmingham which reflects how dispersed the refugee population is. In response to the pandemic, we shifted from scheme towards delivering the bikes to beneficiaries. 

In the last year, 30% of bike recipients were female (an increase from 28% in 2018 and 4% in 2014) and 50% of beneficiaries were 25 years old or younger. In 2020, most beneficiaries were from Syria, Turkey, Iran, Eritrea and Sudan. Beneficiaries came from 53 different countries in total, speaking a variety of languages including Amharic, Kurdish, French, Arabic, Tigrinya and Farsi. 

## _**STAFFING**_ 

As a result of the expansion of our social enterprise work, we recruited further staff members to achieve our strategic goals. This has brought new, much-needed skills to the organisations which will underpin our growth in years to come. As such our staff team increased from 14.7 to 23.8 FTE in 2020. 

Bike mechanics and cycle instructors are key to our work; they refurbish the bicycles that are donated to us and train refugee women and beneficiaries who receive a bicycle from us with cycle safety skills. To help us meet our targets, we contract several freelance mechanics and instructors when we need the extra capacity or to cover leave and absence of staff members. 

## _**MEDIA**_ 

Any media engagement The Bike Project does aims to raise the profile of our charity and offer positive representations of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. In 2020, we featured across 25

media platforms, including newspapers such as The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Evening 

## _**FUNDRAISING**_ 

In 2020, we raised £1,376,232 through grants and donations in comparison to £987,254 in 2019 which is an increase of 38.45% year on year. Of these grants and donations, £202,653 were donated services (2019: £145,046). In lieu of planned 2020 events which were cancelled by the pandemic, we launched new online and peer-to-peer fundraising with online quizzes and Refugee Routes. We were also able to secure grants from Covid-19 support funds and secured a loan from a social investor on favourable terms. 

## _**FUNDRAISING POLICY**_ 

At The Bike Project, we are committed to treating everyone fairly and with respect. We are committed to the highest standards in data protection and fundraising practice. 

Despite not being signed up to a fundraising regulation scheme (we have during 2021 registered with the Fundraising Regulators) we have closely followed the advice and guidance set out but the Fundraising Regulators. 

decision regarding their donation to us. 

In addition to this we take relevant precautions not exploit the trust, lack of knowledge, apparent need for care and support or vulnerable circumstance of any donor. If at any time we had reason to believe that a donor lacks the capacity to make a fully informed decision to donate we would not proceed or accept the donation offered.  If however a specific vulnerability became apparent after a donations was processed any monies received donation would be returned to the donor. 

To protect the needs of the refugees and staff we have a safeguarding policy in place available on our website and have appointed safeguarding officers internally. 

Since the General Data Protection Regulation became law in May 2018, we have ensured that our consent and privacy policies are fully compliant with the new legislation. 

Our fundraising strategy and approaches are periodically reviewed and evaluated to ensure that the money we invest is maximising income whilst remaining true to the values of the organisation. This allows us to raise funds in an ethical way and help as many refugees as possible. All of our fundraising activities are driven by the needs of the refugees we help and are conducted with our generous supporters in mind.

Regulation (GDPR) compliant and follow Th regularly review all partnerships, monitor their work and provide guidance to their staff. 

We take any complaints very seriously and, if received, investigate and respond to them as per our complaints policy, which is available on our website. This year we did not receive any formal complaints regarding our fundraising activity. Any complaints we do receive are carefully reviewed 

to determine any changes we need to make, and we update our database whenever this is requested. 

## _**SOCIAL ENTERPRISE**_ 

Sales from our retail arm were significantly up in the last year which we hope will help to ensure our future sustainability in what are increasingly uncertain times in the charity and refugee sectors. To meet the significant increase in consumer demand for bikes, we started selling new bikes. 2020 also saw the expansion of our retail sites to Colliers Wood to expand our bike refurbishment capacity, and 

from which we have started offering bike servicing. As a consequence of these activities, we sold a record 1,115 bikes during the year. Including all traded revenue streams, we have raised a total of £403,874 in traded income, an increase of 196% on the previous year (2019: £206,032). 

We believe that we are still the largest online retailer of second-hand bikes in the UK and look forward to expanding in 2021 by opening new physical retail spaces focused exclusively on bike sales and services. 




## _**INCOME**_ 

Total income during the year was £1,771,106 (2019: £1,193,556) of which restricted income was £617,824 (2019: £387,430) and unrestricted was £1,153,283 (2019: £806,126). £202,653 of unrestricted income were in kind donations. 

During 2020, there has been a significant demand for bike sales which resulted in higher than anticipated retail income. Additionally, we have capitalised on the grant opportunities which arose as a result of the pandemic. 

## _**EXPENDITURE**_ 

Total expenditure increased from £1,154,143 in 2019 to £1,763,360 which is the equivalent of an 52.79% increase year on year. The increase in costs was due to an increase in Gifts in Kind offered by donors and supporters of The Bike Project, from adjusting our bike refurbishment and delivery operations in light of the pandemic, and from starting to sell new bikes which meant we purchased more stock.

## AR/FS 







## _**RESERVES POLICY**_ 

We aim to hold at least two months of operating expenditure in unrestricted reserves. Since income from grants and donations has the potential to be volatile, the general reserve should represent to operate if income should temporarily fall or if unexpected expenditure should occur. The Bike Project is continuing to focus on growing its bike sales to reduce its dependency on philanthropic income and provide a stable income stream. The Directors review the reserve policy on an annual basis. 

The total reserves at 31 December 2020 were £199,433 (2019: £191,686) of which £0 (2019: £120,430) were restricted and £199,433 (2019: £71,256) were unrestricted. This is equivalent to approximately restricted expenditure is £0 due to the fact that £108K of restricted income from funding agreements has been deferred until 2021 when the relevant activity will be delivered. There is also £23K of unrestricted income that has been deferred in line with our income recognition policy. 

Based on current expenditure, targeted free reserves levels are between £230,000 and £360,000. Although free reserves are not within this range at present, the intention is to reach these levels by generating future trading surpluses. 

## _**GOING CONCERN**_ 

The charity continues to exceed many of its revenue targets for 2021 despite the economic downturn. The first lockdown significantly increased the demand for bike sales and servicing so the trustees are confident that any further restrictions will continue to boost our earned revenue streams. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 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 amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

Consequently, the trustees believe the going concern basis for preparing the accounts to be appropriate. 

## _**PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**_ 

The UK government's hostile environment policies are continuing to restrict refugees' and asylum seekers' access to financial support and adequate housing. As a direct consequence this puts refugees in an increasingly vulnerable position where they are dependent on charitable aid to meet their basic living needs. At the same time, demand for our services has never been higher whilst Brexit and the ongoing effects of Covid-19 create economic uncertainty across the UK charity sector. As such, the financial savings and access to vital support and opportunities that a bike can provide have never been more significant. Looking forward, we will continue to address the growing need from refugees in the UK by increasing our output from our current bases in London and the West

Midlands. At the same time, we will also exploit further opportunities for mobile national mobile bike donations to reach additional cities across the UK where there are refugee living. 

To ensure our financial security we will continue to diversify our income streams, including a renewed emphasis on community fundraising and will proceed with our delayed plans to open a new, standalone retail space and expand our bike servicing. 

## _**INVESTMENT POLICY**_ 

icy is to invest in short 


The trustees (who are also directors of The Bike Project for the purposes of company law) are he 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, which 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 2015 (FRS 102); 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- 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 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. 

Each of the Trustees confirms that:

## _**QUALIFIED OPINION**_ 

We have audited the financial statements of The Bike Project ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.  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, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements: 


- 2020, and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 QUALIFIED OPINION**_ 

Our predecessors Messrs. Buzzacotts were not appointed as auditor of the company until after 31 December 2019 and thus did not observe the counting of physical inventories at the end of that year. Our opening balance review was accordingly unable to confirm the figure for opening stock and we were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the stock valuation of £155,159 held at 31 December 2019 by using other audit procedures. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount at 31 December 2019 was necessary or whether there was any consequential effect on the expenditure for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and 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 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 qualified opinion. 

## _**CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN**_ 

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

TBP Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 20/44 



DocuSign Envelope ID: 98663665-E783-4BA1-AA36-B66BE6FB2672 

## AR/FS 


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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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. 

As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the stock valuation of £155,159 held at 1 January 2020. We have concluded that where the other information refers to the inventory balance or related balances such as cost of sales, it may be materially misstated for the same reason. 

## _**OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006**_ 

Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 


- statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work relating to the stock opening balance as at 1 January 2020, referred to above: 


- we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and 


we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept

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: 


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 



- the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the 

## _**RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS**_ 

18 19, the trustees 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 cha 

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors 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 

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. 

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: 


The charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant including the Charities Act 2011, taxation and employment law and the UK Code of Fundraising Practice. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. 

TBP Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 22/44 



DocuSign Envelope ID: 98663665-E783-4BA1-AA36-B66BE6FB2672 

## AR/FS 



We understood how the charitable company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by, making inquiries to management, those responsible for legal and compliance procedures and the company secretary. We corroborated our inquiries through our review of board minutes. 


- The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. The assessment did not identify any issues in this area. 


- We assessed the susceptibility of the Charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas; misappropriation of stock, posting of fraudulent journal entries, authorisation, processing and payment of fraudulent expenses and timing of revenue recognition. 


- Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

   - Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; 

   - Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; 

   - Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and 

   - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations 

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.

## AR/FS 


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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a private charitable entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound. 

## _**B. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT**_ 

Preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees and management to make significant judgements and estimates. 

The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include: 







- Estimating the fair value of stock held at year end, for bikes held for donation to beneficiaries, and bikes held for resale; 

Assessing the appropriateness of any provision for slow moving or obsolete stock; 

Assessing the adequacy of any provision against doubtful and bad debts; 

- Estimating the useful economic life of tangible and intangible fixed assets for the purposes of determining the annual depreciation and amortisation charge; 

Estimating the valuation of donated goods and services (gifts-in-kind); and 

Determining the basis for allocating support costs across expenditure categories. 

In addition to the above, the full impact following the emergence of the global coronavirus pandemic although clearer is still uncertain. It is therefore not currently possible to evaluate all the the wider economy. 

## _**B. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT (CONTINUED)**_ 

At the date of approval of these financial statements, it is not anticipated that the overall financial position of the charity will be adversely affected or its financial solvency threatened. However, the Trustees are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the charity. 

## _**C. GOING CONCERN**_ 

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

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 amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

## _**D. INCOME**_ 

Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income and the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor or funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a future accounting period. 

Donations are included in full in the statement of financial activities in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income and the amount of income can be measured reliably and it is probable the income will be received. 

Donations of bikes which are held for resale or will be subsequently donated to beneficiaries, are recognised at fair value on receipt. For bikes which are subsequently sold, the value of the stock is debited against income and the proceeds are credited to income. 

Bike donations received under the UK Retail Gift Aid Scheme are recognised as income at their fair value on receipt, on the basis that the substance of the transaction is equivalent to all other bike donations received. 

Donations in kind are recognised in the period in which the donation was received and measured on the basis of the value to the charity. 

Income from selling donated bikes and other items is shown net of VAT and trade discounts at the point of sale. 

Grants are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable, and conditions for receipt have been met. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil certain conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor or funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a future accounting period. 

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. 

Other income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the charity and the revenue can be reliably measured. 

## _**E. EXPENDITURE**_ 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment 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. 

All expenditure is acco support costs. All expenses, including support costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. The classification between activities is as follows: 


- Expenditure on raising funds comprise the direct and indirect costs of generating voluntary income.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 98663665-E783-4BA1-AA36-B66BE6FB2672 

## AR/FS 




Charitable activities comprise the direct and indirect costs of the activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charitable company. 

Other trading activities - comprise the direct and indirect costs of other sales. 

Bikes donated to beneficiaries are recognised as expenditure in the period in which they are donated. 

## _**F. ALLOCATION OF SUPPORT COSTS**_ 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charitable company but do not directly undertake fundraising or charitable activities. Support costs include general overheads and governance costs (those costs incurred in the governance of the charitable company and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements) and are allocated on the basis of staff time devoted to each activity. 

Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity. 

Where information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is provided to potential beneficiaries, the costs associated with this publicity are allocated to charitable expenditure. 

## _**G. VALUE ADDED TAX**_ 

The charitable company is registered for VAT and accordingly, where applicable, all expenditure incurred is exclusive of VAT. 

## _**H. FIXED ASSETS**_ 

All assets costing over £500 are capitalised. Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and amortisation. 

Depreciation and amortisation are provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: 

## _**H. FIXED ASSETS (CONTINUED)**_ 

|**_. FIXED ASSETS(CONTINUED)_**|||
|---|---|---|
|Asset Class|Yearly|Amortisation|
||Proportion|Basis|
|Fixtures, fittings and equipment|25%|Straight Line|
|Intangible assets|25%|Straight Line|
|Software|25%|Straight Line|



## _**I. STOCKS**_ 

Purchased stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes transport and handling costs.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 98663665-E783-4BA1-AA36-B66BE6FB2672 

## AR/FS 


Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. 

Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks. 

Donated items of stock, held for distribution or resale, are recognised at fair value. For donated stock held for sale, fair value is the expected proceeds from sale less expected costs of sale. For donated stock held for distribution, fair value is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay on the open market for the items. 

## _**J. DEBTORS**_ 

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. 

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material. 

## _**K. CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND**_ 

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. 

Deposits for more than three months but less than one year have been disclosed as short-term deposits. Cash placed on deposit for more than one year is disclosed as a fixed asset investment. 

## _**L. CREDITORS AND PROVISIONS**_ 

Creditors and provisions 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. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material. 

## _**M. FUND ACCOUNTING**_ 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.  Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes. 

## _**N. PENSIONS**_ 

Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the statement of financial activities when they are payable to the plan or scheme.
