Objectives and activities
a. Objectives and activities
The charity’s objects are:
-
For the public benefit to advance the education of (a) ex-armed forces personnel and members of their immediate families and (b) socially and/or economically disadvantaged persons aged 18 and over and (c) other persons who may wish to attend educational courses provided by the Charity for the persons set out in (a) and (b) above in Construction and Horticultural Skills in such ways as the Charity Trustees think fit, including by providing their education and preparing them for entry to any occupation, trade or profession.
-
To advance in life and help young people through providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
-
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit amongst people aged 18 and over who are socially excluded and by preventing ex-armed forces personnel from becoming socially excluded and relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. The Board of Trustees has paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
The charity aims to provide a pathway into Construction for Armed Forces Service Leavers and Veterans. This pathway is designed to create multiple opportunities for advancement into the Construction Industry through Employment, Self-Employment of further training. Successful progression meets our aims since these outcomes will lead to less social exclusion and better integration into civilian life.
College based training coupled with on-site academies provide the settings in which the learners can acquire the skills necessary to progress into the industry.
All learners are mentored on opportunities with our Academy Partners and their Supply Chain partners as well as towards the industry at large. They are coached in job search before they attend and during their time with us. All learners are contacted 1, 3 and 6 months post-graduation to ensure their progression is going well.
c. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit
The main activity of the charity is providing specially tailored fast track training programmes in Construction Skills, Construction engineering, Groundworks and Plant Operations at 14 centres around the country in partnership with Training Providers and Industry Partners, this meets our public benefit obligation outlined in our Aims.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the Charities Act to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
Building Heroes continued to deliver its sector leading training programmes in 14 centres around the country. Courses were delivered in four main skills areas, Basic Construction Skills, Construction Engineering, Groundworks and Plant Machinery. In total 79 cohorts totalling 633 learners attended courses during this reporting year. This number was below the target of 800 but this was partly due to the cancellation of the Engineering programme, the temporary closure of the Cardiff Centre and the closure of the Civils course in the Northeast. All of these have been or are being remedied in the new financial year.
Financial review
a. Going concern
The Trustees are confident that the Charity can continue as a going concern. See note 2.2 in the financial statements for futher details.
b. Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure. The Board of Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The Charity has a very substantial deficiency of funds, but has unsecured, interest free and long-term finance which it considers will be sufficient to enable it to continue its operations. This level has been reduced through the course of the financial year.
Building Heroes Property Services (BHPS) is a wholly owned Trading Subsidiary which has been provided startup funds by the charity. It is expected to become self-sufficient during the next financial year but offer no threat to the on-going business of the Charity.
c. Principal risks and uncertainties
Risks
- (i) Lack of learners
The Charity would be at risk if it could not recruit sufficient learners but is currently receiving over 2,000 application per year for only 750 places available
-
(ii) Lack of funding
-
The Charity has undertaken a series of efforts to diversify its sources of funds and now has no single source which represents more than 25% of its revenues
-
(iii) Reduction in AEB funding for our partners to support the courses
-
There has been no negative indication regarding the availability of funding to support our Level 1 and 2 programmes
-
(iv) Failure to attract Customers to BHPS BHPS has recently expanded its customer base significantly, increased its workforce and improved profitability, this risk is receding.

As at 31 July 2023 the charity had a deficit on unrestricted funds and total funds of £100,851 (2022: £112,542).
With the elimination of the two deficit making activities of the previous financial year and a hard focus on Corporate Sponsored Centres the charity has returned to surplus with a £61,142 turnaround in net movement of funds which were 2023: surplus of £11,691 (2022: deficit of £49,451).

Plans for future periods
Building Heroes is active in multiple business development streams.
We continue to work towards completing the move to the industry backed academy model, there continue to be several partners in the pipeline awaiting the best opportunity to present itself. We expect to open three new Academies in the next financial year, two focused on Plant and Streetworks and one on Green Skills, with two the year after focused on Green Skills.
A new stream in Green Skills has been developed in partnership with the Haig Housing Trust and E.ON Energy and is now operational. Further similar partnerships are being sought.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2023
1. General information
Building Heroes Education Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation established under its constitution dated 1 October 2014 and registered with the Charity Commission on 16 October 2014.
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 Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Building Heroes Education Foundation 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.
2.2 Going concern
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. It is reliant on unsecured, interest free long term loan funding and has been assured that no repayment will be sought until funds permit.
2.3 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. 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.
2.4 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.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Page 11
Building Heroes Education Foundation
Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2023
2. Accounting policies (continued)
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 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
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.
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 basis:
- Office equipment 33% per annum
2.7 Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
2.8 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.
2.9 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.
2.10 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.

Building Heroes Education Foundation
Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2023
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.11 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.
2.12 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.
2.13 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.
