Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 October 2022.

Trustees and Their Responsibilities

Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members. The principles and main duties are the same in all cases.

Trustees have, and must accept, ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of a charity, and ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and meeting the needs for which it has been set up.

LiveKind Trustees are pleased to present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30th October 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005) (Accounting Standards Charities Act 2011).

Principle Objects

To advance the education of the public in the subject of gender equality and the prevention of gender inequality and gender-based violence.

D. Grant Making

To advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time in particular, but not limited to, advancing the objectives above by making grants and awards to UK and international charities, NGO’s and community organisations.

Mission Statement

LiveKind’s core values are those of Ahimsa. All LiveKind activities must be carried out in accordance of Ahimsa principles. For the purposes of clarity Ahimsa is a term meaning ‘compassion’ and ‘not to injure’. Ahimsa is also referred to as non-violence. Ahimsa means to cause no harm and it applies to all living beings including all animals as well as people. For this reason, LiveKind will only support the provision of vegetarian food and product in people, projects and activities that we support.

Activities and Achievements

During the year, the trustees continued to research and evaluate opportunities to make final grants and disbursements prior to closing the charity. However, they were unable to identify a project or projects to which they felt it was appropriate to make final grants and disbursement. No new projects were therefore funded during the year. The trustees have resolved that they will to seek projects to make final grants and disbursements before closing the charity in the next financial year.

Structure, Governance and Management

LiveKind is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission and governed by its constitution, dated 3[rd] November 2015.

Membership of the CIO is currently held by the Trustees. If the CIO is wound up, the members of the CIO have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities.

The trustees who served during the year are shown on page 2 of this report.

Risk Management

The Trustees review risks relevant to the charity as part of their governance processes. Any material risks identified are discussed and decisions made on potential mitigation.

Reserves Policy and Going Concern

The Board has assessed the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. As a result, the Board has approved a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, should be held in reserve and maintained at a level, which ensures that LiveKind’s core activity could continue during a year of unforeseen difficulty. The target reserve amount represents at least 6 months’ (26 weeks) expenditure and will be reviewed annually.

Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Related Parties and Co-operation with Other Organisations

None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with its members must be disclosed

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30th OCTOBER 2022

1. Accounting Basis

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2. Cash Flow Statement

The trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 (revised) from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charity is small.

3. Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the Receipts and Payments when the organisation is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

4. Resource Expendable

All expenditure is accounted for on a cash basis and has been included under expenses categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.

Support costs include back office costs, finance, and governance costs which support the Charity activities. Many support and governance costs e.g. website costs are paid for directly by a Limited Company donor. This donor also makes additional donations which cover all remaining support costs e.g. bank/finance charges etc.

8. Fund Accounting

Fund accounting unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work.

9. Taxation

LiveKind is a registered charity and is not liable for corporation tax on its income under section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 to the extent that it is applied to its charitable activities.

10. Pension Costs and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

None
