BPF’s founding objectives – to unite, empower and inspire – underpin the charity’s operational and strategic intent and, alongside our activities to-date, these principles have helped define our impact goal: to equip young people with skills, knowledge and experience to rise above social, economic and health challenges, to fulfil their life potential and uplift themselves and their communities.

Bhubesi Pride Foundation Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2023
As amended on 14 December 2022, Bhubesi Pride Foundation’s charitable objectives are as follows:
-
To advance the physical education of children and young people in Africa by the provision of coaching and equipment for playing sport and with a view to:
-
unite children through sport, addressing health education and life skills
-
empower local staff, and
-
inspire long-term development through establishing links with key stakeholders, such as schools and local communities.
Achievements and performance
BPF Malawi strategy
During the first quarter (October – December 2023), BPF UK and BPF Malawi collaborated on creating and developing the NGO’s strategy: ‘Ndizotheka 2025’. Drawing on extensive field- and sector-based research, its 9-point objectives are summarised as follows: to progress sport for development (S4D) programming; to safeguard children and stakeholders in its programming; optimise the centre; develop and deliver supplementary education; enable access to appropriate program resources; initiate continuous professional development (CPD) for staff and program participants; engage key stakeholders; implement policies effectively; and ensure good governance.

Fundraising
Following a challenging recovery period post-pandemic, we have been able to secure continuing support from long term partners and donors. In addition, we have used our new online fundraising platform (Enthuse) to support several campaigns launched through the year. These were aimed at raising funds for Malawi-based programs, general operations and capital projects. These campaigns coincided with a group of BPF volunteers visiting Malawi in June, who raised over £10,000. During the latter stages of BPF’s financial year (July to September), 26 participants taking part in a 9-11 October London to Paris cycle set up a direct BPF campaign, raising over £25,000.

Volunteering
In June and July, following a 3-year pause in any volunteer engagement with the charity, two visiting UK school groups and a team of adult coaches (who fundraised over £10,000 for the charity) stayed at BPF Malawi’s Lilongwe community centre and assisted with some of the NGO’s key activities, including youth sports club coaching and site maintenance.

Operational and programming support with BPF Malawi
The UK charity continues to raise funds and foster relationships with key strategic partners to enable the development and onward delivery of sport for development (S4D) and supplementary education programs in Malawi. These include:
-
A youth rugby, netball and life skills program, involving 990 players (aged 11-16) and 44 coaches (aged 18-25) – equal numbers of males and females
-
BPF Malawi’s youth clubs for development (C4D) sports and life skills initiative, involving 200 players and 8 coaches
-
A SRHR and HIV/Aids education and awareness program, led in collaboration with a local NGO, involving 900 young people

Community centre site improvements
From February to September - and with the help of restricted grants from two of BPF UK's supporting partners - BPF Malawi's team led on the process of hiring building contractors to complete the renovation and fit-out of two key site projects: 1. improving the functionality of the guard house to optimise the site's security and safeguarding; and 2. the community centre kitchen and canteen to cater to the needs of youth sports events, provide staff access, and to host local and international guests.

YSTI – summary of future plans
In March, Youth Sport Trust International conducted a scoping visit in Lilongwe with BPF Malawi. YST International’s Board of Trustees subsequently approved a 3-4 year Beckwith International Leadership Development (‘BILD Malawi’) project proposal, incorporating youth leadership and sport for development programming, which will be led in-country by BPF Malawi. YST International and BPF (UK and Malawi) have set out terms, roles and responsibilities in a partnership agreement which was executed on 22 November 2023. It is anticipated that local hiring and training will commence in early 2024.
==> picture [512 x 157] intentionally omitted <==
UK structure
BPF UK now employs one employee (down from 3 FTE and 2 PTE employees in 2021-22): CEO, Richard Bennett (who is also the Founder). This has enabled significantly more of the charity’s income to be allocated to supporting BPF Malawi’s work in Lilongwe. All UK charity business – administration, fundraising, initiating and developing new partnerships and providing strategic and operational support to Malawi – is managed by the CEO. An accounting firm assists with financial administration.
BPF Tanzania
By mutual consent, in early 2023 BPF UK completed the official closure and deregistration of the NGO it setup in Tanzania in 2022. The entity was not operationally active through the course of 2023.

Managing risk
Funds received
BPF complete ‘Know your client’ questionnaires for all key donors to establish their identity and identify any risk factors for fraud or other financial crime. We also clearly establish whether donated funds are restricted or unrestricted and update donors regularly.
Funds paid to Malawi
BPF Malawi’s executive team put forward funding requests to their Malawi board of Trustees, and these requests are then submitted to BPF UK for approval. All funding requests are reviewed to ensure they are in line with donor’s requests for use and spending of restricted funds is recorded diligently. BPF UK produce regular impact reports to record the use of funds and provide feedback to donors to ensure all funds are used for their desired purpose. The CEO of BPF UK liaises regularly with BPF Malawi’s executive team and board of Trustees.
Donated services and support from sponsors and partners
Throughout 2022/23, BPF has been able to continue building trusted partnerships with its supporters, helping the charity to develop its operations and goals (we have not included those who wish to remain anonymous):
-
Norton Rose Fulbright Charitable Foundation – unrestricted financial support, legal counsel and office space in London

Bhubesi Pride Foundation Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2023
Reserves policy
BPF intends to hold reserves to cover 6 months’ worth of costs, covering UK overheads and African project funding. This is estimated to be around £125,000, based on projected costs for the coming financial years.
The Trustees believe that this level of reserves would be sufficient to protect the wellbeing of our stakeholders whilst providing sufficient time in which to either, raise funds for future programming needs, or put in place contingency plans to secure future partnerships to enable sustainable and impactful programs to continue.
With free reserves of £106,389 (unrestricted funds less fixed assets) the charity is currently holding reserves less than the amount in line with the desired policy, but BPF is working to gain increased funding in the coming financial year. The free reserves at the end of the prior year were £71,088, and therefore free reserves have improved by £35,301 from 2022 to 2023.
Plans for the future
As BPF continues to transition beyond the pandemic and establish a strong and resilient framework for planning, supporting and developing its work in Africa, BPF UK has updated the following strategic objectives for the 2023-24 period:
-
Assist in fostering the development of BPF’s relationships with sport for development (S4D) partners in an effort to help BPF Malawi improve the development, delivery and sustainability of its youth sports and life skills programs, furthering BPF’s impact goal and purpose.
-
Develop existing and establish new long-term funding arrangements to meet BPF’s organisational and operational needs – BPF UK and BPF Malawi.
-
Support BPF Malawi in its quest to implement and develop a volunteer or group visit framework, helping to generate supplementary income for the NGO.
-
In line with BPF’s impact goal, prepare to implement new activities or programs from 2024.
-
To support and respond to BPF Malawi’s community centre site capex (or ‘Venture’) projects and related needs, including, but not limited to, vehicle procurement.

Bhubesi Pride Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2023
1 Accounting policies
1.1 General information and basis of accounting
Bhubesi Pride Foundation is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act. Each member of the charity undertakes to contribute a maximum of £10 to the charity’s assets if it should be wound up while they are a member or within one year after they cease to be a member. The address of the registered office is given on page 2. The nature of the charity’s operations and its principal activities are set out in the Trustees Report on pages 3-10.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the 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)(Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
The charity meets the definition of public benefit 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 Going concern
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Income
All income is shown gross and included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Grants and donations in the form of corporate and individual donations are recognised when there is evidence of entitlement, and when the receipt is certain and measurable.
Government grants are recognised under the accruals model resulting in income being recognised on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs are incurred for which the grant is compensating. The income from the scheme is recognised as donations and grant income in the statement of financial activity and timing differences presented as other debtors or deferred income within the balance sheet.
Fees from team members are recognised when they are receivable and spread over the period in which the tour takes place.
Income from gift aid is included when there is evidence of entitlement, and when the receipt is certain and measurable.

Bhubesi Pride Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2023
1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis. Liabilities are recognised in the accounting period to which they relate.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs are shown under the costs in furtherance of the charitable activities.
1.5 Fixed assets
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives at the following rate:
Computer equipment & website – 33% straight line
Fixed assets are valued at cost less depreciation. Items costing under £100 are not capitalised.
1.6 Debtors
Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due.
1.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprise cash on hand that is readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
1.8 Creditors
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 are recognised at their settlement amount.
1.9 Taxation
The charity applies all income and gains for charitable purposes and is therefore not liable to corporation tax.
1.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds receivable or generated for the objects of the company without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the directors for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets this criterion is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
1.11 Donated goods and services
The charity receives assistance in the form of donated goods and services, however it is considered that the benefit to the charity is not quantifiable or measurable. These donated items are therefore not included in the financial statements.
Prepared By Albert Goodman LLP

Bhubesi Pride Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2023
1.12 Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. There were no monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date.
1.12 Financial instruments
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and liabilities of the charity and their measurements are as follows:
Financial assets – trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
