TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
The charity's main income came from a combination of corporate donations and trusts and foundations,
with the remaining from individual donations. Major contributions came from donors including Advent,
Aspect Capital, Broadgate Communty Fund, Gilead Sciences, Wiggin LLP, Fitch Group, Ecotone, Portal
Trust, Swire and The Potter Foundation. MyBigCareer is incredibly thankfijl for the financial support from
these named organisations. and all other supporters not listed. Overall, relationships and support from key
contributors remains strong as well as momentum with new contributors.
The charity does not own or rent any physical property and its programmes are primarily delivered by
volunteers and hence manages to keep its costs low whilst advising an increasing number of young people.
As a low-cost organisation with no property commitments. MyBigCareer considers our minimal three-month
reserve sufficient. To bring reserves in line with this policy, we made a deliberate decision to reduce them
during the year. Alongside this. we invested in an additional staff member to build capacity and support
future gr0￿h. These planned actions resulted in a one-off deficit in this year's accounts. The total income
for the year 2023-24 was £208,979 and lotal expenditure was £239.851. These results are summarised on
page .
Reserves pollcy
To provide some security to employees, and to ensure that in the event of the charity being dissolved, we
could fulfil our obligations to young people, the reserves policy remains at a minimum of 3 months of
running costs at a total of £59,962.75. As previously mentioned the reserves from 2022-23 were redU￿d to
be more in line with this policy, 2023-24 reserves total is £64,455.
Fundraising policy
The Trustees seek to acquire donations mainly from companies and trusts and foundations. A small
number of donations are also received from individuals who usually hear about the work of the charity from
the Trustees. The Charity does not work with professional fundraisers and does not put any undue
pressure on the public. Any complaints about fundraising would be directed to the Chair of Trustees.
FUTURE PLANS
1. Support the same students in 2024-25 to consolidate our long-tenn approach
2. Continue to work with over 5,000 young people in both London and North East of England
3. Develop further our fvnding partnerships to enable raising funds in excess of £250k
4. Recruit, retain and develop in excess of 330 MyBigCareer volunteers
5. Pilot a new programme aiding the development of future skills for MyBigCareer young
people

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Donations are recognised when the charity has confirmation of both the amount and settlement date.
In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued for where the receipt is
considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of
performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until

the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in th8 reporting period.
Income from charitable activities includes fees for services provided. The income is generally
recognised in the period to which the fees relate.
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

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 paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic

recovered.
Expenditure comprises the costs of charitable activities induding expenditure on careers guidance to
pupils and associated support and govemance costs.
