NAZ&MATT FOUNDATION NAZ&MATT FOUNDATION hello A message from our Chair The work of Naz and Matt Foundation continues to reach many More who need care and support. This is evldent from the increase in requests to our support service. I stlll describe the work of our Team as a hug for the people we support. Individuals who identify as LGB TQl+ sadly continue to face disownment and rejection from family and friends. The discrimination our service users face continues because of religious and culturally conservative values. However, we also work with parents who hold religious and cultural beliefs and are supportive to LGB TQl+ individuals. This said, 64% of the LGB TQl+ individuals we surveyed in 2020 struggled with mental health issues after coming out to their religious parents. Many individuals out there continue to need our support. Malt our Exec Director, is a very passionate and driven individual who works tirelessly to lead our Team of staff and volunteers. This is evident because our team continues to grow. I have observed the nurturing environment that Naz and Matt Foundation provides to its staff and volunteers. Thank you to Matt and the Team for your continued work on introducing policies andprocesses to ensure we provide safe care to our service users. The continued support from our donors and the wider community enables us to carry on with the mission of the foundation. The mission is to "never let any religion come in the way of unconditional love between parents and their LGB TQl+ children..

Chandni Patel, Tutor at Iwdlsall College testimonials NAZ&MATT FOUNDATION from clients using our support service Our servlces are shaped by the needs of, and feedback from, our communliy and the hundreds of vulnerable individuals who come to our Foundation for support each year. We've compiled a small number of testimonials from individuals who have used, or been impacted by our services. uthman I was recommended to talk to Naz and Matt Foundation through one of my best friends, I was vaguely aware of them beforeh3nd in the years past of me repressing my sexuality, and was very much in the closet at the time, and not at all confident or keen on discussing my sexualiiy or any personal matters to an outsider organisation. Little did I know, I would have been a different person, with a different life, and a different outlook on life as a whole if I had done it sooner. Much, much sooner. Alas, I regret the time that I had wasted in prolonging my own mental anguish, for [Naz andl Matt would have alleviated At entirely. Speaking to him has changed me, and I shall be eternally grateful. If I could thank [Naz andj Matt with all the gold in the world, I would, if I had it. For now he will have to settle with the fullness of my mind and heart in which he has helped rebuild, and restore. We are still on our way, but without him. I'd never would have found the support to do it alone. He saved my life, he s prolonged it, and hopefully together. I'll finally find some reason to love it again, as l used to. Uthman (his naffle has been changed to protect his identity) Gay Muslim male who received twenty one, hour long telephone support sessions from us over a twelve month period. testimonials NAZ&MATT FOUNDATION from clients using our support service Nur I realised I could kiss another girl when I was 16. Thinking back from that moment, I remembered the times I had developed crushes on girls throughout my life, never realising that I had romantic feelings towards them. I never thought of this as anything else than just a beautiful part of me, until I found out that being a lesbian and a Muslim just isn't possible" see, these two identities of mine was always so natural to me until the external homophobia started to become internalised. Then began the years long struggle to accept both of my identities. I had questions, so many questions, and I desperately needed answers. I went online, watched all the available videos, and read specific verses of the Quran over and over again. These sources repeatedly spoke about even if I have these 'sinful" feelings. I should not act on them. Not act on them how? Isn't Love one of the humanities truest sources ofjoy and peace? Why did God make me this way if this is wrong. The indescribable fear of passing through this precious life with a fake identity made me desperate forhelp I needed to speak to someone that wouldn't make me choose between my religion or who I loved. Then I lound the Naz and Matt Foundation. I was nervous when I left my request to talk to someone. Then I got an emall Irom Matt suggestlng we speak on the phone. He has been there for me ever since then, whenever I need someone to speak to, witnessinq every step of my growth. [Naz and] Matt's Incredible patience, kindness and encouragement for the past 2 years has helped me become so much more confldent In myself. l am no longer afrald to say these words.. l am lesbian, I love women. Not being vislble yet does not mean we do not exist. I feel truly ¢onnected to God, and I sense God's love in anything I do and everywhere I look. And most importantly, I don't have to give up on one ol my Identlties to be myself. - Nur (her name has been changed to protect her identity) Gay Muslim female who, over a two year period, received monthly telephone support sessions. consisting of reconciliation of religion and sexuality. confidence building and coming out support. testimonials NAZ&MATT FOUNDATION from clients using our support service Samira wo week$ prior to getting into contact with the Naz & Matt Foundation, I was hospltallsed and was not able to see past anything apart from not w•nting to Ilve anymore.

Asma Ashraf (Oct 29, 2024 16:32 GMT).............................. Asma Ashraf **Trustee** - 5 - ## **NAZ AND MATT FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **Charity information** Naz and Matt Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity's principal address is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. ## **1.1 Accounting convention** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, 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 the financial statements. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Designated funds are funds which have been set aside out of unrestricted funds by the trustees for specific purposes. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. Grants receivable are recognised when there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured sufficiently and reliably. - 6 - ## **NAZ AND MATT FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** Grants which cover more than one financial reporting period are deferred accordingly. ## **1.5 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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. ## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## **1.7 Financial instruments** The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. - 7 - ## **NAZ AND MATT FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## **1.8 Employee benefits** The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. ## **1.9 Retirement benefits** Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. - 8 - 000 000 000 (o 000 000 000 J Z5 W ty ¢D (i Cl)￿)￿l)z ## **NAZ AND MATT FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **4 Charitable activities** ||**2023**|**2022**| |---|---|---| ||**£**|**£**| |Events|1,057|2,797| |Other income|-|1,620| |||| ||1,057|4,417| ## **5 Raising funds** ||||**Unrestricted**|**Restricted**|**Total **|**Unrestricted**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||**funds**|**funds**||**funds**| ||||**general**|||**general**| ||||**2023**|**2023**|**2023**|**2022**| ||||**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**| |Fundraising|and|publicity||||| |Advertising|||410|703|1,113|1,823| |||||||| ||||410|703|1,113|1,823| - 10 - ## **NAZ AND MATT FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **6 Charitable activities** ||**2023**||**2022**| |---|---|---|---| ||**£**||**£**| |Staff costs|15,465||2,949| |Charitable donations|-||100| |Special projects|4,445||3,235| |Events|383||124| |Cost of providing support|9,843||3,095| |Cost of goods sold|126||-| ||||| ||30,262||9,503| |Share of support costs (see note 7)|52,692||19,572| |Share of governance costs (see note 7)|2,904||2,266| ||||| ||85,858||31,341| |**Analysis by fund**|||| |Unrestricted funds - general|76,500||25,010| |Unrestricted funds - designated|-||966| |Restricted funds|9,358||5,365| ||||| ||85,858||31,341| - 11 - ## **NAZ AND MATT FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **7 Support costs** |**Support costs**||||||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**Support**||
