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	This year saw the eagerly awaited delivery of the delayed opening celebration for the Freedom Skatepark & Youth Centre in Bull Bay, Kingston, Jamaica – Flipping Youth’s flagship initiative. The event was postponed several times due to Covid-19 related restrictions, but we were thankfully able to come together in October 2022 to celebrate the achievement of all project partners in bringing Jamaica’s first skatepark to fruition. In the run-up to the event, Flipping Youth funded some renovations to the skatepark, including an upgrade to one of the toilets to make it accessible for wheelchair users, the commissioning of a local youth artist to create a ‘Freedom’ mural and paying some of the existing skatepark staff additional funds to paint sections of the skatepark, bringing pops of colour and vibrancy ahead of the celebration event. The event was attended by founding partners, project donors, children and young people who use the facility, key community representatives, along with the Minister of State for Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport. The event consisted of skateboard demonstrations from the local riders, live music, dance, refreshments and some inspirational words from representatives of the Freedom Skatepark Foundation. The event allowed all of the founding partners, including Flipping Youth, to take stock of what we had achieved by working together over a 4 year campaign period to make the Freedom Skatepark a reality. Whilst in Jamaica, Flipping Youth launched a new youth entrepreneurship programme ‘Just Dweet’, aimed at helping young people get their business ideas off the ground. The programme was aimed at young people aged 15-30 who live in the Kingston and St Andrew region and are users of the Freedom Skatepark. 6 young people successfully gained a place on the programme and attended a workshop in Kingston to learn about the basics of starting a business, including guidance on creating a business plan, elevator pitch, ‘SWOT’ analysis and understanding your ‘USP’. The workshop finished by supporting the participants to register their

businesses online with the Companies Office of Jamaica. The young people’s business ideas ranged from clothing brands, to a social media operated skate shop and an ethical ceramics company.

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 and the associated ‘Just Dweet’ business launch programme.
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 are 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. We plan on maintaining our current strategy and continuing to support our primary objective, with no plans to expand or take on further responsibility.
