Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2024

Welcome Chair of Trustees, Richard Peberdy

This academic year, 72% of our Blue Skies students were eligible for Free School Meals, as economic deprivation continues to be our key enrolment driver. Why? Because we know that entrenched inequalities exist for young people on Free School Meals which stack the odds of success unfairly against them.

From academic attainment (only 42% of FSM students pass English and maths GCSE, compared to 72% of other students), to higher education progression (only 29% of FSM students went to university last year, compared to almost 50% of other students), these barriers continue into employment. Only 23% of Free School Meals students earn above Living Wage by the age of 25, compared to 43.5% of all other young people.

When we then consider that one in three young people in the UK now lives in poverty, not only is there a moral imperative to support this cohort of youngsters towards the futures they deserve, but there is an economic imperative too. A third of our future workforce is being let down by the current system.

This is where JET steps in. By intentionally identifying students early who are disengaging at school and facing

economic disadvantage, JET offers a novel approach to intervention. Our long-term programmes develop social and emotional skills and provide access to exceptional workplaces and professional role models. These mechanisms work together to inspire students to develop educational and career goals, whilst simultaneously developing the skills, mindsets and selfbelief to strive for them.

In a year in which our charity has increased frontline delivery and refined our programme offer to place impact at the heart of our decision making, we have also welcomed a new CEO, Dr Alex Brown, while our founder, Dr Emma Egging, is transitioning to become a trustee. We are eminently well-placed to do more in service of our students, working alongside our network of STEM, military and aerospace partners.

Introduction JET CEO, Dr Alex Brown

This has been a year of transition for the Jon Egging Trust. Whilst we’ve made incredibly positive changes to our programmes and our impact methodology, and have grown our team, the challenge unfortunately remains the same.

The need for our work continues to grow as the attainment gap between the most and least advantaged pupils continues to increase. The attainment gap is the highest it has been in a decade, driving unequal and unfair employability outcomes for young people.

The imperative to turn the tide on this growing inequality underpins the changes that we’ve made to our programmes this year. Supported by expertise from Impetus and the Driving Impact work we carried out in 2023, this year has seen us embed the key revisions we have made to our programmes including phasing out our shorter Blue Skies Inspire Programme to ensure that every young person on our Blue Skies programme will now receive 108 hours of contact over three years, with alternate sessions taking place in inspirational workplaces.

These changes will not only make our programmes even more impactful for the young people we support, but will enable us to target the students who need them the most, and monitor our beneficiary impact as never before. We have been working with ImpactEd Group to develop a methodology to track our impact on young people’s academic attainment and school attendance, in addition to the existing metrics we gather around improvements in SEL skills, such as teamwork and confidence. This enhanced impact methodology will be rolled out in the 2024-25 academic year.

Whilst embracing this period of refinement and growth we contine to broaden our reach, supporting 4,154 young people this year with inspirational engagement. We delivered over 15,000 hours of support through our Blue Skies programme, working alongside a network of 617 inspiring professional volunteers and event supporters from our 75 exceptional military and corporate partners.

We have also had an extremely strong fundraising year, with a 46% growth in income on top of a 23% growth in 2022/23, underpinned by a robust fundraising strategy

Finally, this year saw our founder, Emma Egging OBE, transition from her role as CEO to becoming a Trustee. I am honoured to have been offered the opportunity to become JET’s new CEO, and look forward to working with the team to continue to drive this remarkable charity forward in service of the young people we support. It is fitting that Emma’s final full year in post marked one of our best years to date, in part due to our wonderful network and colleagues, without whose support and guidance none of this would be possible, but also due to Emma herself, whose dedication, hard work and resilience have been an inspiration for all who have worked alongside her. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Emma and her fellow trustees into the new academic year and beyond, to offer opportunity and hope to those young people who need us the most.

Impact first

Key decisions made during our ‘Driving Impact‘ workshop in 2023 led us to phase out our shorter Blue Skies Inspire Packages to enable all future Blue Skies students to access our refined three-year support programme. This has resulted in a 98% increase in Blue Skies threeyear students this academic year, and a 52% decrease in students receiving our shorter Blue Skies Inspire Packages.

Throughout the year, we have continued to embed refinements to our delivery methodology and programme specification. This, combined with improvements in our quality assurance and evaluation methodology will ensure impact remains that the heart of our decision-making as we seek to increase our reach in coming years.

Our impact

We track students’ progress throughout their JET journey. This open feedback loop with students and teachers allows us to monitor the impact and effectiveness of our support, and proactively improve and strengthen our programme design year-on-year.

What we measure?

We also collect qualitative data through student and teacher questionnaires and feedback forms

We collect quantitative and qualitative impact data from our students and teachers based on JET’s six core competencies:

in order to monitor:

a Communication + Confidence > > Leadership > Resilience »- Setting and achieving goals > Working with others

As someone who teaches most of the students, I have noticed that they are much more happy verbally contributing in lessons; there seems to be less fear of getting answers wrong in front of others. School teacher, Hadley Learning Community, W Mids, 2024

Engagement across the board has been noticeable. Many students prior to being part of the JET team had little resilience and could often opt out in lessons. This is really apparent with BS1 students who have shown increased resilience and effort levels. Member of school staff, Lincolnshire, 2024

One student who started the programme sat on the side lines not talking and was very reluctant to participate. By the end of this programme, the student is able to stand up and talk in a large group and work well with others. This student was very isolated in terms of friendships at the start of the sessions and has now got a new group of friends. School staff, Cornwall, June 2024

In January 2024, around 2.1 million pupils were eligible for Free School Meals, representing 24.6% of state funded pupils. This eligibility rate has increased sharply since 2018, and is at its highest rate since current records began. Department for Education, 2024

Government statistics show that in 2023, 43% of pupils eligible for free school meals passed both English and maths GCSE compared to 72% of pupils not eligible.

Blue Skies has helped me raise my voice and tell people when I need help. It has helped me to realise it doesn’t matter what other people think and to be yourself and talk up. Blue Skies 3 student, Oxfordshire, 2024

Driving Impact

At JET we continuously strive for excellence, and always ask ourselves ‘can we do better?’ To this end, we need a robust approach to evaluation, the right systems and processes in place, and a dedicated impact function. Our Driving Impact Strategy has been key to defining and delivering this since early 2023.

Reaching the right young people

We have committed that a minimum of 70% of our students would be eligible for free school meals (FSM). During the academic year 23-24 81% of new students enrolled on our Blue Skies programmes were eligible for FSM.

We refined our target population criteria, making it clearer for schools to select those who would benefit the most from our programmes. In addition to students on free school meals, additional eligibility criteria for Blue Skies include those who have had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), looked after children and those who are disengaging at school and lacking in SEL skills.

Understanding ‘what works’

This academic year, we have conducted research to understand what good looks like when it comes to Social and Emotional Learning interventions. This resulted in the implementation of a new programme framework that combines in-school sessions led by our youth programmes team, with out-of-school visits to employers and higher education institutes, underpinned by our newly defined Theory of Change which will be published in the new academic year.

Programme refinement

We have committed to delivering a consistent, structured syllabus of high-quality, high-impact programmes across all JET regions. To achieve this, we assembled a working group of experienced youth workers with specific knowledge of SEL interventions and youth work evaluation to redefine our impact outcomes and create a new programme specification. Implementation will begin with our Blue Skies Level 1: Teamwork, in the new academic year.

capture the information we need. The next academic year will see the full roll out of the ImpactEd system across all of JET’s Blue Skies schools. The data and insights this provides will be transformational and will enable us to deliver continuous improvements for our young people.

Impact methodology

To accompany our new Blue Skies programme specification the working group created a bespoke evaluation methodology that helps students to understand the objectives of each session and places them at the centre of their own journey of change.

To add rigour to our evaluation methodology we piloted two externally validated scales with the view to rolling these out across all regions in the new academic year. The Short GRIT Scale and the General Self Efficacy Scale were trialled in schools in Cornwall and Dorset and it has been agreed that these pertain appropriately to our newly defined SEL outcomes.

Playing to team strengths

To help us deliver our ambitious Driving Impact Strategy we recruited three new JET Youth Liaison Officers to deliver our programmes, and defined three new project work strands:

By playing to the wide range of experience and skills within our existing team we were able to mobilise quickly on our plans and support our people to grow. It has also enabled time to work out what longer-term growth looks like, what to prioritise, and how best to resource this function.

Monitoring impact

We recognise the need for quality and timely data. To help us understand our target population and the impact of our programmes on school attendance and academic attainment, we began working with ImpactEd Group to implement a new way of working with our schools to

Space to Learn

JET continues to be a central delivery partner for the UK Space Agency’s Space to Learn programme. The funding and advocacy this has unlocked, and the strong space network we have established as a result, has enabled us to forge ahead with our ambition to weave space throughout our programmes.

We are proud to report that as of Sept 2024, every JET student who takes part in our long-term Blue Skies programmes will now have access to one or a number of inspiring space opportunities as part of their journey, from in-school space sessions and interactions with professional space role models, to inspiring workplace visits and SEL challenges linked to space.

Case study

Over 80 students from secondary schools in the West Midlands took part in JET’s space-themed careers day at RAF Museum Midlands.

Aimed at broadening awareness of careers in space and building aspiration, curiosity and confidence, the event was attended by Y7 and 8 students from four local schools including Moreton School, Charlton School and Highfields School. Students took part in a round-robin of

activities and challenges led by JET and supported by the RAF Museum, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the National Space Academy (NSA). Highlights of the day included interactive rocket challenges, an engaging careers-in-space talk, an educational space workshop, and immersive space-themed activities. As well as broadening career perspectives, the event focussed on building teamwork and communication skills; crucial workplace competencies championed by JET’s long-term support programmes.

Adelle Roberts, Head of Space Licensing and Monitoring at the UK Civil Aviation Authority said: It’s not just astronauts and space cadets. The message we cc want to send is there’s a huge range of exciting space jobs out there – from engineers to analysts, space lawyers to space communicators. We need inspired young people who can help make reaching for the stars a possibility not just a figure of speech.

February 8, 2024.

95% of the students who attended the event said they were more aware of the different careers in the space industry.

Partners & Volunteers

The lifeblood of JET is its partnership model. We worked with 75 military and civilian partners to deliver our programmes during the reporting period; Blue Skies would not be possible without this network of inspiring STEM workplaces and professionals who broaden horizons, ignite curiosity and ambition, and allow out students to think different about their futures. This year, professional role models volunteered 3,236 hours of their time to support and inspire our students.

66 I have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering for JET, most of all due to the contagious excitement and engagement of the young people in the activities and tasks! It has felt very meaningful.

Fundraising

In an increasingly turbulent fundraising landscape, it is incredibly pleasing to report another exceptionally strong year of growth for JET’s fundraising output, with income growing 46% year-on-year, building on the 23% growth of FY23 and the 57% growth of FY22.

JET’s fundraising strength can be attributed to a number of key areas, including its analytical, data-driven approach to income generation, its strong and trusted reputation within the aerospace sector, and its increasing reach into government and institutional funding streams. In addition, strong messaging and brand identity, and the development of clear accountability and KPIs within a small but ambitious Comms & Fundraising Team, has enabled energy and output to be focussed on attainable goals.

Growth targets

As ever at JET, our recent fundraising successes have not made us complacent. We remain acutely aware that our income growth has been matched by an increase in spend to enable our frontline team to reach more students. As our costs climb to service the rising programme demand - and as we adapt to the continued high inflation environment - so too our income generation targets must grow.

Going into FY25, and with the fundraising landscape tightening further, we will take a diligent, analytical approach. We remain ambitious and will continue to scan the horizon for new opportunity, but we will also ensure that our fundraising priorities are underpinned by clear rationale, rigorous planning, and a strong focus on the risk that the charity sector is facing in this bumpy economic and geo-political environment.

Comms and events

JET continues to work hard to raise our national profile and highlight our expertise in delivering SEL programmes and employability skills for our students. Our comms and events strategy also focuses on celebrating our exceptional partner network within the military and aerospace sectors without whom we would be unable to offer the range of extraordinary workplace experiences our students benefit from, or grow our funding and advocacy base as effectively as we do.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries and evaluating external risks, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Fundraising

The charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and has committed to following the Code of Fundraising Practice and Fundraising Promise. The charity does not use third-party fundraisers and has not received any complaints in the year regarding its fundraising. The charity makes use of its existing safeguarding policies when fundraising.

The proportion of spend allocated to charitable activities has increased to 76%; the driver behind this is the ongoing expansion of our programmes team to meet the growing number of students being targeted through our intensive Blue Skies programme.

Fundraising spend has fallen as a proportion of total costs to 24% due to higher increased spend within Charitable Activities within the year. Spend on JET hosted events included the annual fundraising dinner; a networking shooting event, and the JETRide sportive. Participation in external challenge events continued to strengthen.

Significant Investment in Equipment including Computer Equipment to be used in Youth programme delivery was enabled by UK Space Agency funding.

Reserves policy

The Statement of Financial Activities shows total funds of £664,544 (2023: £455,632 restated).

£158,354 (2023: £73,866 restated) are restricted funds to be expended on specific purposes. The balance of £506,190 (2023: £381,766) is unrestricted, to be used to support the trust’s charitable activities.

Total reserves have grown over the period because of the healthy surplus achieved and the unrestricted reserves remain safely within the policy of 3-6 months operating costs, on a rolling 12-month basis. The trustees have reviewed the reserves policy and agreed to maintain this level as an appropriate threshold for free reserves. The year end position was 5 months forward expenditure.

The charity was formed in September 2011 and incorporated on 24th February 2014. The charity is a company limited by guarantee whose members are the trustees. The liability of each member is limited to £1 in the event of the charity winding up.

The Board has authority to appoint by majority decision any new trustees. All new appointments are subject to our safer recruitment policy and a comprehensive induction encompassing training and meeting key members of the JET team to understand the various work areas. Trustees are also encouraged to attend sessions or graduations to get first-hand

experience of delivery and impact. The names of the trustees who served during the year and up to the date of approval of the financial statements are:

Staff appointments

Staff headcount increased to 29 by 31 August 2024 (2023: headcount was 24) as further investment was made in the frontline delivery team, reigniting appointments paused during the pandemic. Remuneration is set by the trustees and based on job role as well as market rates. There were no changes in senior personnel.

Structure and management reporting

The trustees are ultimately responsible for the policies, activities and assets of the charity. They meet to review the development of the charity and make any important decisions. When necessary, the trustees seek advice and support from the charity’s professional advisers including solicitors and accountants. The day-to-day management of the charity’s activities, and the implementation of policies, is delegated to the senior leadership team.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Key risks and uncertainties

The current troubled economic climate is consistently monitored and factored into strategic decisions. This is evident in our approach to cost control and careful forecasting: budgets are created conservatively to ensure financial commitments are met, even if revenue slows; recruitment is only initiated when long-term, sustainable

funding is secure; and inflation at its current elevated levels is incorporated into material bids, project plans, and budgeting to account for potential price increases.

We actively plan for the effects of a significant economic downturn on the education sector. The lessons learned from the Covid crisis have equipped us to better support schools and reach young people despite challenges such as lockdowns. We are well-prepared to adapt and adjust our delivery methods as needed.

Additionally, we recognize that some schools or partners may face challenges in continuing to accommodate JET programs as their budgets tighten and priorities shift. To address this, JET is strengthening its impact methodology and messaging while enhancing its presence in the Social and Emotional Learning space to underscore the critical role our work plays in transforming young lives. We also remain committed to fostering strong communication across the JET community—staff, volunteers, partners, and young people—by offering support for their wellbeing and demonstrating their importance in shaping our future path.

Given the growing sophistication of cyber threats, safeguarding data protection is a heightened priority. We are vigilant in reviewing our measures to counter the increasing incidence of hacking and phishing scams. To maintain robust security, we work with an external contractor who audits our procedures, advises on strategies, and supports our virtual office infrastructure. Our staff receive regular training and alerts on emerging threats, and we continually improve systems and practices to address any weaknesses.

Financial performance is closely monitored through monthly management accounts and a mid-year budget reforecast. We maintain strict cost control, with careful cash flow monitoring. JET also holds a comprehensive insurance policy, including cyber insurance, which is reviewed annually with the assistance of our insurance broker, Berkeley Insurance Group.

Risk management is carefully monitored within the charity. Trustees delegate daily risk management to the CEO and executive team through a risk register that includes both strategic and operational risks. These risks are rated by their potential impact and mitigated through proactive actions. Key risks covered in the register include the loss of an important partner (affecting program delivery or finances), insufficient funding to support the operational plan, safeguarding breaches involving a JET student or staff member, and limitations within schools (such as budget constraints). The risk register is reviewed quarterly by the external Finance Committee, which reports back to the board of trustees.

Additional oversight is provided by two more external committees: 1) Education, and 2) Fundraising & Communications. These committees meet quarterly to provide advice and assess activities within their respective areas of expertise, alerting the leadership team and trustees to potential risks.

Future Plans

During the 2024-2025 financial year, the consolidated Blue Skies programme will continue to focus on young people aged 12- 15 (yrs 8-10), and on developing JET’s core SEL competencies in addition to boosting aspiration, self-belief and key employability skills.

Students will continue to progress through the three years of structured Blue Skies support:

Year 1: Teamwork

Year 2: Leadership

Year 3: Employability

We will complete our planned phase-out of JET’s shorter Blue Skies Inspire Packages (BSIP) in order to ensure all students are now able to benefit from the quality and impact of our flagship three-year programme.

The in-school JET-led SEL sessions which were a feature of BSIPs, will be embedded into the refined three-year Blue Skies syllabus, and will alternate with the inspirational out-of-school workplace visits which have always been a defining element of Blue Skies.

The healthy surplus achieved in the 2023-2024 financial year will serve to continue the targeted growth of our frontline team and to invest in a robust and refined impact methodology, including the implementation of a dedicated data insights role and new impact tracking software and processes.

We will also continue to nurture our partnership model and deepen our presence in our existing networks with a new corporate tiering system and comprehensive engagements calendar.

Demand for JET programmes persistently outweighs our resource, and we are committed to growing our reach sustainably and incrementally through strengthening the team, our programmes and our impact, consolidating in our existing regions before expansion into new locations.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the 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. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF THE JON EGGING TRUST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Jon Egging Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 August 2024 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of 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 the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' 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 of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's 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 opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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

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 financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other 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.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Jon Egging Trust 23

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2024

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to industry sector regulations and unethical and prohibited business practices, and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Charity Commission and sector regulations, and UK Tax Legislation. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Appropriate audit procedures in response to these risks were carried. These procedures included:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members; and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Jon Egging Trust 24

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2024

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2024

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

1. General information

The Jon Egging Trust ("JET" or "the Charity") is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales, and whose registered office address is 1st Floor Arthur Stanley House, 40-50 Tottenham Street, London, W1T 4RN. The Charity's objects are set out in the Trustees' Report.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Jon Egging Trust 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.

The financial statements have been prepared in Sterling, the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £.

2.2 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees consider that there is no material uncertainity about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern based on their review of budgets, cashflow forecasts, reserves, cash balances, and future plans of the Charity.

2.3 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Jon Egging Trust 29

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2024

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis subject to meeting an performance conditions attached to the grants. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.5 Interest receivable

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 institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit 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. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Jon Egging Trust 30

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2024

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

2.8 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

2.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities 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.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.12 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.13 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgement:

Income recognition - the Charity receives income from contracts and performance grants. These agreements include various quantitative and qualitative milestones and performance conditions to be met in order for the Charity to have entitlement to the funds. The Charity makes various assumptions in determining the stage of completion of these contracts and performance grants.

23. Prior year adjustment

The Charity has restated its comparative figures to reflect grant income that was received in the current year but should have been recognised in the previous year. The impact of this adjustment is that restricted income and restricted reserves carried forward in the prior year have increased by £35,000.
