Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	At the start of the year we were finalising the construction of our long-term project to build Jamaica’s first skatepark with attached youth centre, the ‘Freedom Skatepark’. The project is situated in the outskirts of the capital city Kingston, in a placed called Bull Bay. We collaborated with the local football club ‘Bull Bay FC’ to secure permission from the National Land Agency to use part of their designated plot of government owned land to build the skatepark and youth centre. The skatepark was constructed by our partners at CJF (Concrete Jungle Foundation) and Flipping Youth managed the construction of the youth centre. We had to navigate a turbulent time as Covid- 19 hit Jamaica during our construction phase, but despite numerous setbacks, we concluded our build and opened up the facility for public recreational usage. For the first few months, as the country implemented a series of national lockdowns and tough measures aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19, we operated on a reduced scale as we tried to minimise the gathering of large groups. By September 2020 there were CJF educational skate classes being delivered during the week, which were free of charge for local children to attend. The development of a ‘Homework Club’ was then introduced, with the skatepark paying teachers to comes and deliver classes after school to boost their learning. At a time when most schools in the country remained closed, with a very limited amount of children able to access their schooling remotely online, the skatepark was one of the few places where children could still access education. During the second half of the year, we shifted our focus onto the post-construction landscape, thinking about how we can make the Freedom Skatepark programmes sustainable. This includes a lot of attention on fundraising in order to maintain what has now been established. Flipping Youth is one of the founding partners of the Freedom Skatepark Foundation, attending monthly board meetings and contributing to the ongoing governance of the facility.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The financial position of Flipping Youth as the year closes is sound and sufficient to carry out our intended activities. Our remaining funds are restricted towards funding the ongoing development of Freedom Skatepark & Youth Centre.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	Flipping Youth does not currently hold any reserves.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£0.00
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Flipping Youth is operated by a team of volunteers who work remotely and meet either online or in free of charge spaces, meaning that there are no operational overheads associated with staffing. All staff have undertaken safeguarding training and had DBS checks as part of their work with young people outside of Flipping Youth. Minor operational expenses such as domain rental and email subscription are all covered by trustees personally. Trustees provide their own IT technology to work on Flipping Youth related activities, so there is no requirement to purchase laptop computers for staff.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	None.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	There are no current uncertainties regarding Flipping Youth being able to continue. This year has been very successful and we have managed to conclude the construction phase of our primary project that we have been building towards over the past 5 years. We plan on maintaining our current strategy and continuing to support our primary objective, with no current plans to expand or take on further responsibility.
