This report of the Trustees sets out a summary of the main activities undertaken by the
Charity to carry out its charitable purposes for the public benefit.
Charitable Objectives of Little Green Pig:
l) To advance education for the public benefit in writing and reading in all its forms.
2) To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 18 by providing advice and
assistance, organising programmes of education and other activities as a means of:

(b) advancing education,
(c) relieving unemployment, and
3) To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from being

WHO WE ARE
Little Green Pig (LGP) is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity working to
inspire children and young people aged seven to eighteen in Brighton & Hove and East and
West Sussex to become creative with writing. Established in 2008, LGP became a charity in
2012. The Charity offers fun and innovative writing workshops, as well as large scale
projects and one-off residencies in schools. We encourage young people to have fun with
words, use their imaginations, improve their literacy skills and see themselve5 as writers,
because we know that giving children the ability to express themselves is fundamental to a
successful life. We focus on creating fun, safe, imaginative spaces in which children can
produce high-quality, tangible outcomes.
We work in partnership with local primary and secondary schools, galleries, and other
organisations, to offer free writing workshops outside of the classroom in inspiring and
imaginative spaces that will motivate children to be creative with words. We work with
schools which have a high proportion of pupils who experience socio or economic
disadvantage.
To date the Charity has worked with over 6,500 young people and attratted over 350
volunteers giving participants one to one support and attention. Our volunteers come from
all walks of life including professional writers and illustrators. All volunteers are DBS checked
and trained to contribute to the work of the Charity.
After-school and weekend sessions are usually open to all, prioritising those who live or
attend schools in areas of high deprivation.
My powerful words.
Here are my records,
My words of truth,
My honest opirsion,
About my disadvantaged youth.
My poetry is my power,
With words written every hour,
Sharing my work is an opportunity I won't miss
Because I'm sharing my version of poetic justice.
Extratt of a poem by Lunar, written in Monday Club at Longhi// High School
* In a report by the Sussex Community Foundation, 'Sussex Uncovered 2.. Bridging the Gap,
(November 2016), it is identified that Brighton & Hove has wards with levels of overal/
deprivation above the nationa13verage which are in the top IOQ/o in the UK,. the E35t
Bnghton Ward in particular is ranked as extremely high on this list, 227th out of 7679 wards
nationa//y, with high levels of chi/dpovety across the area. The target audience for our
creative M/riting programme is children who live or go to schoo/ in these wards many of
whom are failing to reach expected levels of literacy and are experiencing social exclusion
because of their lack of reading and writing attainment [Brighton & Hove City Council report
'Our Future City, 20157. A report by the Social Mobility and Ch//d Poverty Commission shows
that children who receive free school mea/s in Brighton & Hove 3re in the bottom 20% for
achievement.

OUR VISION, MISSION AND VALUES
Our vision
We believe that writing can positively change lives. Our vision is that all children and young
people in Sussex have space and time to write for pleasure and purpose, and the
opportunity to share their stories.
Our mission
We enable children and young people in Sussex to experiment with writing in all its forms,
and to share their work with a wide audience. We prioritise working with children and young
people who live or go to school in areas of highest deprivation, or who face challenging
circumstances. From anthologies to soap operas, radio shows to films, our projects challenge
perceptions of what writing can be and deliver serious outcomes.. improved self-confidence,
literacyi and communication skills.
In collaboration with volunteers, writers, artists, schools, families, and partner organisations,
we respond to children's needs and ideas to provide fun, innovative, and excellent learning
experiences.
Our values
Be open
Be brave
Be imaginative
Take pride
Have fun

Project Highlights
Our Theory of Change sets out the change we want to make. It describes the different
essences of the work we do that enable us to make that change.
We deliver inspiring writing programmes.
We showcase children's words and voices.
We know that children and young people need laboratories for their imaginations, and
spaces for their voices to be amplified and their thoughts and dreams to be heard.
Inklings Residency: a teacher-led adventure
This year we worked with the Laurels Primary School in Worthing to create a whole new
model of our successful school residencies. This one (funded by the Fonthill Foundation)
was teacher rather than workshop leader led and involved the whole school in a journey of
magical discovery across 10 weeks. The story of the Inklings and their world was originated
and written by Nikki Shaill, with input and development from LGP mentors, workshop
leaders and staff during R&D workshops. Props were created by designer Inigo Hartas,
local students at Northbrook College and Nikki Shaill. These were used to introduce first
teachers, then pupils to the Inklings tiny mythical beings who live inside a tree in the
school grounds which was threatened with being cut down by a menacing agency called
MOUTH. AII 184 pupils took part in focused lessons, assemblies and creative activities led by
the teachers to inspire different forms of writing from persuasive letter writing to protest
banners to poetry. Guest characters "the Tree Warriors (Arlo Apter and Naomi Wood)
and Strange Sussex investigators visited to lead creative visual art, activism and writing
workshops for all children. An online portal was created full of instrLlCtions and inspiration for
the teachers to enable them to lead the adventure, and the project concluded with a
celebration assembly and a newspaper/zine publication showcasing the children's work. The
10

project was externally evaluated by Pip Sayers and is full of very positive feedback from
children, families and teachers. It's a model which we can now replicate elsewhere.
ij
The Intergeneration Game: an intergenerational project
The Intergeneration Game was a new intergenerational project involving all our Brighton
primary clubs (Whitehawk, Moulsecoomb and Central Brighton). Funded by East Brighton
Trust, Serco Foundation and Brighton Soup, this project was created to be part of
Ageing Well Festival - a programme for people aged 50+. Club members had workshops
with Hove Museum of Creativity and visited Brighton Toy Museum on a research trip
to learn about vintage toys and games. The children developed questions to ask older
people, practised role-playing interview skills, and had their questions designed into three
different sets of 100 playing cards and game boards which were then professionally printed.
The games were played in Ageing Well Festival workshops at libraries and community
centres with local older people and children from across the 3 clubs. The laughter-filled
sessions were audio recorded to create a new podcast episode, and there was a display of
the work created at Whitehawk Library. Two of the older participants have now signed up to
be Story Mentors. It's a model of intergenerational working that can be replicated again.
"I've never been in a room with so many articulate and chatty children! I enjoyed just taking
part as an equal. I learnt that relaxing around children is doable! And l am happy children
don't just play screen-based games. It was lively, energetic, chaos (in a good way!) and fun.
More of this please!" Older participant

Unearthing Stories: a creative heritage project
Unearthing Stories was a heritage and nature project run in partnership with the National
Trust and Changing Chalk at Saddlescombe Farm. Over 6 workshops, 21 children from
across all 3 Brighton and Hove primary after school clubs worked with photographer/visual
artist Eva Jonas, writer Georgina Aboud, and sound artist Sarah Sayeed, plus
documentary photographer Tunde Alabi-Hundeyin and workshop leader Natalie
Englandi project managed by Laura Halliwell. Through visits to Saddlescombe Farm on
the South Downs and workshops, the children used historic photos and accounts to explore
lesser told historical perspectives, imagining what life was like in Victorian times. They wrote
their own day-in-the-life accounts of imagined characters from maids to donkeys and took
analogue self-portrait photos as their characters. These stories were recorded and set to
audio music and effects, and a zine was created and printed as an outcome. A Celebration
Event was held at the farm with 36 parents/carers, family members and children attending..
for many, their first visit to the farm and the Downs. The wonderful project website
containing all the audio recordings, stories and images can be explored here:

We create communities of young writers
We know that the deepest change comes when we can work consistently with young people
over a longer period of time, and they can form communities to support each other. Our
After School Clubs give us that opportunity; some children stay for a term, some come back
year after year, giving us a chance to see them grow in so many ways.
Brighton After School Clubs
Every week we run three primary-age After School Clubs across Brighton and Hove: a
Monday Club at Whitehawk led by Natalie England, a Tuesday Club in Moulsecoomb
led by Bex Large, and a Thursday Club at BMECP - the Black & Minority Ethnic
Community Partnership - led by Laura Wilkinson. As well as the projects above that
they worked on together, they've explored historical fiction and comedy writing, created pop
up books, comics and Festive Fairytales, made masks and junk-modelled costumes, explored
Map making and world building with Helen Cann, dived into nature and emotions with a
12

visit to Moulsecoomb Forest Garden, creating nature poems and stories, and developed
puppetry and script writing skills to produce mini plays (which you can view here.)
Eastbourne After School Club
Our Tuesday Club at Langney Primary Academyi Eastbourne led by Roseanna Lowe
and Georgina Aboud did a spooky writing project, leading to monstrous newspaper articles
and Agony Uncle advice writing, made zines linked to a trip to the Turner Prize exhibition at
the Towner gallery, and created their own story books, published as 'The Dark Dangerous
Immortal Door illustrated by Giulia Casarotto,. Sadly, Langney Academy can no longer host
the club, so we will be relaunching in a new home in January 2025.
Worthing After School Club
Our Wednesday Club at The Laurels Primaryi Worthing led by Rayna Haralambieva
enjoyed creating Quirky Characters that they turned into prints with local artist Hello Dodo
and worked with collage and images. Children enjoyed a visit to the Bug Cycle Garden led by
visual artist Vanessa Breen from Creative Waves, inspiring Nature Haikus and poetry
which was published into a printed zine, 'Imagination Explosion,.

Longhill High School Club
Our lunchtime secondary club at Longhill High School led by poet Roy McFarlane,
funded by the Vakil Foundation and the Homity Trust, used writing and performing as a
tool for exploring mental health and wellbeing, looking at what mattered to them from
friendship to the environment, culminating in 'Word Power!,
a spoken word sell-out
performance at Kemptown Books. They wrote poems as part of a Pari5 Olympics project,
with some of them published on a special website (a project shared by our French
counterparts Labo des Histoires). The club also created our fourth podcast The Longhill
Crazy Writing Youth Podcast,, hosted by club regulars - click here to listen. Our podcast is
produced by Chris Callard and Sally Woodcock.

We offer safe community spaces
We know that when young people are going through periods of change in their lives, they
need spaces to feel safe in, to let them take the risks needed to navigate that change.
Transitions
Our fifth Transitions project worked with Moulsecoomb Primary and BACA to support all
17 members of the Year 6 class as they moved up into secondary education. As the group
included many children with emotional and learning needs, we chose a hands-on, practical
art form. Puppet maker Darren East and writer Akila Richards helped the group create a
large puppet creature out of willow, paper and fabric with writing woven into it, to represent
the children's hopes, fears and questions around moving school, with their creation finally
being proudly installed in the foyer of BACA. Project managed by Laura Halliwell.
Our 2023 Transitions project in Eastbourne was completed in November, helping support
children as they started at St Catherine's College, culminating in a wonderful animation
film.
We support future leaders
We know that children and young people need progression pathways and opportunities to
be leader5 in our communities, We know that our organisation is stronger when it has young
people's voices at its heart.
14

Youth Board
To ensure young people's voices are heard at every level of the organisation, and to make
sure that our ideas and plans are developed with and not just for young people, we
recruited five new members to our Youth Board this year. We buddied our existing Youth
Board members with members of our Board of Trustees, helping each group gain a deeper
understanding of what each other do, what we're thinking about, to help our Youth Board
members get a broader insight into how charitie5 run. For the first time we invited Youth
Board members to our board and staff strategy Away Day and went on to recruit two Youth
Board members to join the main Board of Trustees in September 2024.
Mini Mentors
Our Mini Mentors programme was developed to enable After School Club graduates to
further their journeys with us, to support younger children, and to develop new skills and
take on new responsibilities, One of our Mini Mentors documented our puppet-making
workshops with a photo-essay and hosted the sharing event for families and friends.
However, the ambitious Mini Mentor programme as a whole has proven more challenging
than we had originally hoped, and we are currently reviewing how better to provide
progression pathways for our primary school leavers through our Young Writers Collettive
programme.
We provide access to diverse professional writers, mentors and public platforms.
Whilst longer projects may have deeper impact, we love giving as many young people as
possible the chance to engage with diverse professional writers and artists, and access to
spaces which they may not believe are for them.
Children in Care Storymaking Workshop: Goring-by-sea Library Book Fair
Rayna Haralambieva led a story making workshop at Goring Library that was hosted by
West Sussex Virtual School for children in care and their families, collaborating in a
'Book Fair" event that focussed on the power of stories for children.
Brighton Book Festival.. Open Mic with Roy McFarlane and AFLO the poet
We sponsored and produced a children's open mic event as part of the 3rd Brighton Book
Festival, The event, hosted by poets Roy McFarlane and AFLO the poet, was a tribute
to writer Benjamin Zephaniah, with after school club writers performing their stories, jokes
and poetry alongside children who had won a local poetry competition.
CalllResponse collaboration: University of Sussex with Longhill High School
We were invited by the University of Sussex to partner on Call/Response, an oracy
project exploring discrimination and prejudice against LGBTQIA+ young people in schools
and connecting with the idea of football chants. 47 young people at Longhill High School
aged I I to 16 took part in lunchtime workshops led by poets Erin James and Roy
McFarlane. Part of the school's existing LGBTQIA+ Club, the young people created a joint
poetry piece which was audio recorded. The audio outcomes will be shared at Lewes
Football Ground and other places via the University project.
'Play in a Day, Workshop: Dorothy Stringer Secondary School, Brighton
As part of Dorothy Stringer School's Enrichment Week, we were commissioned to deliver
a l-day workshop. Writer Tanaka Mhishi worked with 16 students aged 11-16 to create a
short play for audio format,
We share learning and best practice with partners
What's the point of knowing stuff if you can't share it, and learn from others in the process?
15

We believe it's the best way of making sure as many young people as possible benefit.
University of Sussex: Creating Voice Workshops and Exhibition
For the second year running we were invited to run a series of workshops for first year
students at the University of Sussex. Anita Kate Garai, Roy McFarlane and Adam Webb
helped the students explore poetry and letter writing, and the audio recordings and text
created were displayed in an exhibition at Wagner Hall as part of Brighton Festival.
Social Society: a team-building Zines Workshop
We were invited by the Social Society to help deliver a team building day for Trusted
Housesitters, and Bex Large led a zine making workshop for 40 staff.
Inklings Residency: skills development for teachers
As outlined above, this year we pioneered a new model of school residency, working with
the Laurels Primary in Worthing to train and support the school's own teachers to lead
and deliver workshops and creative activities to the whole school, helping to leave a longer-
lasting legacy and ensure that children will continue to benefit for generations to come.
Our Impact- the difference we make
Our Theory of Change declares we want our long-term impact to be that "Children and
young people are empowered to create change in their lives through having their voices
amplified and their confidence improved, writing a better future for themselves.
All of our work is evaluated. We listen to feedback from children and young people. We
record observations from teachers, workshop leaders, project staff, parents/carers and
volunteers. We collect data from schools and partner organisations. At least one project a
year is assessed by external evaluators such as Always Possible.
We want to know if the children and young people who we work with grow in confidence
and self-belief, Do they feel more positive about themselves and their future? Do they feel
part of a safe and supportive community? Have they become better writers and
communicators? Have they been inspired to write outside of school? Are they supported to
become leaders and given opportunities to provide leadership to their peers?
What do our young people say.
"Little Green Pig7 helps me to speak out, get better at writing and be more creative. .
'I come to Little G￿en Pig because I find it relaxes me, and Iget to write stories together
ith friends.
'Litt/e Green Pig helps me to actually feel like Im writing son7ething andget it published.
'Litt/e Green Pig helps with my bravery and wanting to share - I feel more supported.
Feedback from children, July 2024

Organisational development
We used our new Theory of Change to develop a whole new evaluation framework,
helping us measure and communicate the impact of our work and ensure that we are
delivering the change we want to make in children and young people's lives. We were
delighted to receive funding from Criseren to enable us to appoint consultant Kerryn
Wotton to work with us to develop a new three-year strategy, helping us to prioritise and
focus our work on the areas where we have the greatest impact. The consultation process
was kicked off with an Away Day for Trustees and Staff in April 2024, and for the first time
included three members of our Youth Board.
We were very sad to say goodbye to our Treasurer James Sweeney, after five years on
our Board, but were delighted to appoint Sam O'mahoney in his place. Sam is part of the
Senior Leadership Team at My University Hospitals Sussex, the charity that support5 patients
and NHS staff in seven hospitals across the county, and she has previously worked with a
number of NHS charities in assurance and governance roles.
We were sad tolose our Volunteer Manager Samreen Faria for personal reasons after just
a few months in post but were delighted to appoint Sally Woodcock in her place. Sally has
a long history with us as a volunteer Story Mentor herself, and as well as supporting our
Youth Board, has done a fantastic job in growing a consistent base of volunteers for the first
17

time since Covid, helped by the adoption of the Volunteero App. We hosted our fifth paid
internship, and were delighted to have Mahima Yasmin working with us to help develop
our evaluation framework.
We continued to diversify and grow our pool of freelance workshop leaders and were thrilled
to work with 34 different professional writers and artists over the course of the year-
our most ever.
We were delighted to welcome brilliant children's and young adults, authors Tanya Byrne
and Patrice Lawrence to our team of Ambassadors and look forward to working with them
both to inspire our young writers and champion their work.
Volunteers
We are proud of our excellent volunteer base, and our workshops this year have been
SUPPOrted by 48 brilliant volunteers, delivering 478 volunteering experiences - our
highest ever level of volunteer support. New volunteers have brought more diversity to the
team, and new Illustrator Mentors have had a really positive impact on the children's
experiences.
We have introduced Volunteero software for volunteers which has really improved our
ability to match volunteers to opportunities, with the increased interaction also increasing
the reporting needed to support our evaluation framework.

Funding
We are profoundly grateful to everyone who has supported us this year, and with particular
thanks to funders who have committed grants year on year.
This year we were supported by grants from Arts Council England, the Gemini
Foundation, the Fonthill Foundation, the Paypal Giving Fund, the Christopher Laing
Foundation, Comic Relief, the Garfield Weston Foundation, the Chalk Cliff Trust,
the JJ Charitable Trust, Brighton and Hove Council Shared Prosperity Fund,
Changing Chalk- the National Heritage Lottery Fund and National Trust, the
Ironmongers Company, the Criseren Foundation, David Higham Associates, the
Blagrave Trust, East Sussex County Council, the Vakil Foundation, the Homity
18

Trust, the Sussex Community Foundation through the Price Family Trus¢ the Ernest
Kleinwort Charitable Trust, the lan Askew Charitable Trust, the East Brighton
Trust, the Serco Foundation, Brighton and Hove Rotary Soiree Club, the Sussex
University Career Lab - Sussex Internships, and Brighton Soup, all of whom
generously supported either our project work or our core costs.
Despite all of our successes, we are finding the fundraising climate increasingly challenging,
with the cost of living placing greater demands on funders and some funders closing. As part
of our strategy to continue to diversify our funding streams, this year for the first time we
took part in The Big Give. Generous Pledgers and our Big Give Champion, The Reed
Educational Trust, enabled us to provide match funding for a Christmas giving campaign,
doubling the £2,000 raised by donors to give us £4,000 of unrestricted funding. Further
fundraising led by the Board was in the form of The Whole Hog, our eighth annual Quiz
night, which raised almost £2,000.
It's important to recognise how essential unrestricted funds are to Little Green Pig in
meeting our charitable mission. They allow us the freedom of discretionary spending, such
as expanding the staff team, investing in new equipment, paying for training and
professional development, and meeting emergency expenses. Supporting us in this way
allows the charity breathing room to focus on long-term planning goals and organisational
improvements; similarly, it allows us to pay competitive salaries to hire and retain
employees, which is needed now more than ever with the charity sector reporting retention
and recruitment challenges. Please do get in touch if - as an individual, an
organisation or a business - you think you are able to support us in this way.
Plans for 2024-25
We are very excited about where 2024-25 will take us. In the year ahead, we will,.
Partner with AudioActive to run a music and words version of our 13-19 speak-out
projett Amplified in Worthing.
Continue running five After School Clubs in Brighton and Hove and Worthing and
relaunch our Eastbourne club in a new venue.
Recruit a new Regional Producer role for Worthing and Eastbourne.
Repeat our successful Transitions project for the sixth year, supporting vulnerable
Year 6 pupils to navigate the life change from primary to secondary.
Welcome two Youth Board members onto the board as Young Trustees.
Become East Brighton Cafe's Charity of the Year, launching an exciting new
fundraising partnership.
Launch our new 3-year business strategy.
Replicate successful projects in different areas, including Intergeneration Game
and Map Making.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial results
The results for the year ended 31st August 2024 are given in the Statement of Financial
Attivities (SOFA) on page 25. The Charity's assets and liabilities as of 31st August 2024 are
given in the Balance Sheets on pages 26-27.
The charity has had another strong year with significant success in fundraising for both
restricted and unrestricted funds, despite the fundraising climate proving increasingly
challenging. Total expenditure of £175,344 shows an increase of £33,641 (23.70/0) on the
previous year- for which we have delivered almost double the number of creative
opportunities for children and young people. Total income of £173,184 shows an increase of
£13,044 an 8.10/0 growth, reflecting an impressive level of fundraising in such a challenging
climate. The figures show a small net operating deficit of (£2,160). The liquidity position
remains strong, with the charity carrying forward £57,452; £27,077 of unrestricted funds
and £30,375 of restricted funds. The restritted reserve is a reflection of funds that have
come in for projects yet to be completed.
Fixed assets
The Charity carries seven laptops for staff, purchased between 2019 and 2024.
Investment policy
The Charity's policy is to maintain all of its liquid resources in interest bearing, instant access
accounts at competitive rates available in the market.
Going concern & reserves policy
The Board of Trustees is satisfied the Charity can continue as a going concern. Over the
course of 2023124, the Charity continued its work on income stream diversification and
maintained unrestricted reserves at the end of the year of £27,077. These unrestricted
reserves have been built up in accordance with the Charity's ReseNes Policy which states
that Little Green Pig should work towards holding reserves to cover three months,
contractual obligations but as a minimum, maintain reserves equivalent to one month's
contractual obligations. For the year 2023124 our reserves were lower than the previous
year. they exceeded the minimal target under the Resetves Policy and were over 50 % of our
aspirational target.
Risk management and internal control
'Risk,' as our risk strategy says, 'is an inevitable part of what we do - indeed, taking risks is
something we encourage our young participants to do." We have continued to look hard at
risk this year, supported by a special risk group of tmo Trustees and the Director. They have
taken our risk strategy - covering Governance risks, Operational risks, Financial risks,
External risks, and Compliance with law and regulation and continued to develop it,
looking at which risks need to be on our radar that we may have not previously considered.
They have looked at all the risks identified and Scored them all in terms of likelihood and
potential severity to help us focus on our greatest challenges and consider what necessary
steps need to be taken to lessen and mitigate these risks. The group continues to do this
twice a year. This approach enables the Board as a whole to have a clear understanding of
the risks we face, and the ability to know what to prioritise. The principal risks identified are
around Safeguarding, Finances (inadequate fundraising and income generation, inadequate
reserves, cash flow sensitivities) and appropriate mitigation is in place for all.
During 2023124 the Trustees have reviewed the Charity's Safeguarding Policy to ensure it is
still relevant to the delivery of online work as well as work in different geographical areas,
20

and have found it to be comprehensive and robust. The Charity followed its Safeguarding
Policy which all new staff, freelance workers and volunteers are given training on.
The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity has a system of internal
control. Such a system of control can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance
against errors or fraud. The controls include a delegation of the authority of the Board of
Trustees through to the Direttor to manage the day-to-day business. Controls safeguard
Little Green Pig's assets and maintain the integrity of accounting controls.
Little Green Pig operates an annual planning and budgeting system with an annual budget
approved by the Board. Any significant changes to those plans or budgets need specific
approval from the Board. The fundraising strategy has continued to be adapted during the
year to cover the changing situation, and cash flow has been closely monitored, with the
Board seeing regular cash flow forecasts.
Organisational Structure, Governance and Management
Charitable status
The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, number
1155661.
Board of Trustees and organisational structure
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by the Board of Trustees,
who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Att. The names of Trustees who
served during the year and further board changes since the year-end are set out on page 4.
The Board is responsible for the oversight of the management of all the affairs of Little
Green Pig, and work in accordance with procedures set out in the Charity's Articles of
Association, which is its governing document. The Board undertook a process of peer
appraisal this year. One Trustee retired, our Treasurer James Sweeney, and Sam O'mahoney
was appointed in his place. Current Board Members bring specialist knowledge and
experience from a range of sectors: legal, financial, business development, education,
safeguarding, marketing, communications, digital, volunteering, inclusive arts practice and
the creative industries. Trustee roles are advertised via arts, charity and volunteer
recruitment websites and our local networks. The two new board members (appointed after
year end) were recruited from our youth board.
Before appointment, new Trustees are given an induction, so they are familiar with both the
responsibilities of being a Trustee and the detailed nature of the organisation. All new
Trustees are given a 'Board Buddy, to help them settle in, and the organisation runs training
sessions covering Trustees, legal and financial responsibilities and reading financial papers.
The Board ensures that all activities are within the agreed charitable objectives. The Board's
work includes setting the strategic direction, reviewing risk, and agreeing the financial plan.
It meets quarterly, the principal purpose of which is to review the development of the
Charity and ensure it meets its financial targets. Board Members this year enjoyed an Away
Day with the staff team and Youth Board members, working with a consultant to start to
develop a new three-year strategy.
Our Youth Board is in its fifth year, and currently runs in parallel. This year we have
recruited new Youth Board members, buddied Youth Board members with Trustees, and
held a joint Away Day. We have recruited two Youth Board members on to the main Board
as Young Trustees, and they will take up their posts in September 2024.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIThLE GREEN PIG
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Little Green Pig (the
charity) for the year ended 31 August 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements 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 financial statements carried out under section

all the applicable 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 confirm that no matters have come to my attention in
connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the
2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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).

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) '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 l January 2015),, Financial Reporting
Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland,
and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have
considered relevant information, including the annual budget and the impact of subsequent
events in making their assessment.
Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the
trustees have concluded that there is no material uncertainty in relation to the
appropriateness of continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report
and accounts.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has
entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can
be measured reliably.
Gifts and services in kind are measured at the amount the charity would have to pay in the
open market for items that would provide the equivalent benefit. In line with the Charities
SORP the accounts do not attribute a value to volunteer hours due to the difficulties in
measuring this contribution.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recogn ised 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.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable attivities.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its
estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 330/0 on cost
