To confirm an<br>understanding of this information, all<br>trustees have met and discussed the<br>issued guidance.|





## **Achievements and Performance**

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





## **Financial Review** 

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