## Trustees’ Report 

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company lav, present the annual report together with the financial statements ofthe charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## Objectives and activities 

## Objects and aims 

The charity's objectives are to enable giving to be an inclusive behaviour choice for everyone who buys online to generate free donations for the UK based charitable causes oftheir choice. 

## Public benefit 

To promote the efficiency and effectiveness of charities, not for profit organisations and voluntary organisations in particular, but not exclusively, by promoting charitable giving through giving services which apply technology and behavioural science, providing training, advice and support to charities in the use of communication media and promoting volunteering by donors and prospective donors to charities for the public benefit. 

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. 

## Going concern 

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. The charity has a net liabilities position at the year end but the trustees remain confident that sufficient resources will be available as debt finance to fund any shortfalls.

A key element in the management offinancial riskis the setting of a reservespolicy andits regular review by trustees 

## Financial instruments 

## Objectives andpolicies 

The charity's activities expose it to a number offinancial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. 

## Cashflow risk 

Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rates to ensure certainty ofcash flows. 

## Credit risk 

## The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash. 

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. 

The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of TheGivingMachine (‘the Company')<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## 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 ofthe accounts in accordance with the requirements ofthe 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’). In carrying out my -examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5){b) of the 2011 Act. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

Since the Company'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 ofChartered Accountants Ireland, which is one ofthe 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of TheGivingMachine as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Going concern<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval ofthe financial statements. 

## Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement 

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements. 

## Income and endowments 

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

## TheGivingMachine 

## Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 

## Donations and legacies 

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. 

## Expenditure 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## Charitable activities 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## 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. 

## Taxation 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and charitytherefore it meets the definition ofa charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the coveredisbypotentiallyChapter 3 exemptPart 11 fromof thetaxation Corporationin respect Tax Act 2010of income oror Sectioncapital256gainsofthereceived Taxationwithinof Chargeablecategories Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## Goodwill 

Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate ofthe useful life cannot be made. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

## 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:

## Trade debtors 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms ofthe receivables. 

## Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## Trade creditors 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers, Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting pericd, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## Borrowings 

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period ofthe relevant borrowing. 

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has en unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

## Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 

## Fund structure 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives ofthe charity. 

Pensions and other post retirement obligations 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions sre paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legai or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement ofFinancial Activities when they are due. Ifcontribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
