## Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022 in compliance with s414C of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Foreword from chair of Trustees** 

It is with great pleasure that I took on responsibility as Chair in 2021. Supporting the trustees, CEO and organisation during this time. 

With ever more information available to young people, an ability to discern fact from fiction and debate the merits of different points of view to reach a consensus has never been more important. I joined Smart Schools Councils in an effort to play my small part in enabling young people to develop the skills to do this; and importantly find excitement in having the mindset that this kind of engagement and activity is worthwhile. 

Throughout this period the organisation has developed materially. As one can see in the following report, growing both in scale and impact. 

After great consideration and consultation, the organisation has charted a new strategic course; which it now pursues with clarity and purpose. Aligning the organisation, it's actions and objectives to delivering this new outlook. 

The organisation has not only evolved strategically, focusing on further operational and financial improvements, strengthening its processes, controls and financial resilience; Developing a team to ensure success for future years. 

Trustees have contributed to these efforts with insight and dedication, providing advice, guidance and experience for the organisation as needed. 

Most importantly though, the charity is focused on a self-sustaining path, delivering increasing impact as it grows and develops to ensure that its operation and impact is enduring.

for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The principal objective of the organisation is to advance children in life and help children and young people who from time to time may participate in school councils and other forms of student representation and action through: 

(a) Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as responsible individuals; 

(b) Providing support and activities which develop the skills, capacities and capabilities of those who work with children and young people to listen to and engage with young people. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Principal Activity during the year continued to be that of providing Education about active involvement in democracy to school children and teachers. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

At a time of deep division in society, it's more important than ever for young people to be a big part of our democracy and debate. This can't only be open to those with the loudest voices, pushy parents, or that are the easiest to work with. 

We are proud that this year represented another strong year of growth for Smart School Councils. Our core membership grew to 400 schools, and Big Debate Club developed a new exciting way to involve students in delivering engaging, exciting debates. 

We're really proud to have delivered a three-year strategic plan, guided by Sam Hockman, our Chair to refine our strategic vision for the organisation. 

This helped us to define what type of organisation we want to be as we grow and set helpful impact and operational OKRs (Objective Key Results) to see whether we're achieving it. 

## **Core programme: 400+ member schools** 

Our core programme goes from strength to strength. This helps schools involve every young person's voice in their school by setting up a Smart School Council. In this year, we grew our membership by around 25%, and continue to add new upgrades to the platform to improve the member experience. 

Our core programme is creating around 90,000 democratic interactions per month for young people in our 400+ member schools across the world. Members continue to pay an annual fee for the platform and service, and they are renewing at our targeted rate of 70% over the course of this year. 

We are proud that revenue generated has increased by 137% from the previous year (from £37,675 to £89,218).

## **Impact** 

Our programme has three key aims: 

1. To significantly more young people in pupil voice and democracy 

2. To increase the number of young people who feel listened to in school 

3. To build better speaking and listening skills

## _Quotations_ 

_"I just wanted to say how much of a difference Smart School Council is making to our SEN pupils at school. Our new 6th form group wants to debate in break times as well as lessons. It has been such a success already this school year that our class meetings are taking place at least once a week but often they are asking to use the tool for simple things like who wants what squash at break time?_ 

_Yesterday we had a lesson observation with the head of governors and our new deputy head. The lesson was English speaking and listening. We set up a class meeting (Is social media a good thing or bad thing? ) and our pupils were absolutely amazing. All our pupils' voices, even through a Voca speech aid , were heard . No one sat back and just stayed quiet , it truly was a very emotional thing to witness.  Thank you Smart School Councils for giving me the chance to promote pupil voice in such an amazing way"_ 

_Maria, SEN teacher_

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 

## **Big Debate Club** 

Big Debate Club - our free, guided class debate tool - continues to involve more and more young people across the country. During this academic year, it created 62,000 debate interactions with young people, helping them to discuss the big issues of the day to improve oracy skills. 

It also supported 18 marginalised young people from Hackney to lead their own nationwide debates. Funded by UBS, this project worked closely with four schools to support these students. 

Key quote: 47% of these pupils made better than expected progress over the academic year as a result of the programme.

## **The Young Foundation Social Investment** 

During this year, we have successfully paid around 82% of the Young Foundation Social Investment that we raised in the academic year 2018/19. This was paid off in the year 22/23, one year earlier than we originally forecasted. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial review** 

## Review of financial position 

During the year the organisation received income of £195,148 (2021:  £229,797) of which £105,920 (2021: £167,410) was restricted grant Income. In the same period the Expenditure totalled £229,584 giving a net deficit of £34,436 (2021: £64,062 surplus). The net deficit of £34,436 comprises a surplus of £2,540 against unrestricted reserves and a deficit of £36,976 against restricted reserves. The latter due to grant income received in the prior year being expended in the current year. 

Smart School Councils Community operates a Reserves Policy which aims to retain unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months' worth of ordinary running costs. The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the trustees to ensure it meets the demands and requirements of current charity performance. 

Based on the planned expenditure for the year to July 2023 the Trustees would aim to hold minimum unrestricted reserves at the start of the year of £49,965 (2021: £47,448). The actual unrestricted reserves balance on 31 July 2022 was £52,505 (2021: £49,965). 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document Nature of governing document** 

The charity is constituted as a Charity Incorporated Organisation and is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales with the registration number 1156110. The Charity is governed by the standard constitution document which includes voting members other than its charitable trustees which is dated 14 August 2014. 

Trustees are appointed by the decision of the members at the annual general and rotate by resignation of one third of their number on an annual basis. 

The two founder members of the Charity, Asher Jacobsberg and Greg Sanderson are not Trustees. Greg Sanderson is an active Manager within the Organisation, and Asher Jacobsberg left the Organisation in July 2017.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Smart School Councils Community ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

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

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

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

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

Smart School Councils Community 

## Notes to the Financial Statements 

for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

Smart School Councils Community meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

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

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** 

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **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. 

## **Donations** 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity, and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## **Grants receivable** 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised 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. 

During the year, the charity incurred expenses of £229,584 (2021: 165,882). 

## **Raising funds** 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees's meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Intangible assets** 

Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. 

## **Amortisation** 

Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

25% on straight line basis 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

The charity received social investment in the form of a loan of £42,000 from The Young Foundation. This was used to develop the class meeting tool - an innovative online tool to help young people to lead inclusive democratic meetings. The loan became repayable from September 2019 when it converted into a Revenue Participation Agreement. The balance at the year-end was £10,897 and is included within other creditors.
