||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|The promotion of community participation<br>in healthy recreation, in particular by the<br>provision of facilities for the partaking of<br>predominantly but not exclusively<br>Skateboarding/ BMX/ Inline Skating/<br>Scooter/ Surfing.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|The promotion of Skateboarding and other<br>Skate Park sports in Jamaica, in response<br>to high levels of criminality involving young<br>people and gang affiliation. The current<br>project aims to provide a safe Skate Park<br>facility for young people and act as a<br>diversion from involvement in street crime<br>through sport and positive social mixing.|

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





## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|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|Following the successful ‘official’<br>celebration event for the creation of<br>Freedom Skatepark & Youth Centre, which<br>took place in October 2022, Flipping Youth<br>had a quieter year in its operations<br>throughout 2023/24.<br>We continued to support several<br>participants of the business launch<br>programme ‘Just Dweet’. This included one<br>participant receiving a $128k JMD grant to<br>support the scale-up of his clothing brand,<br>facilitating his ability to acquire stock at<br>reduced rates and increase profit margins.<br>This young person was someone who was<br>involved in getting hands on and actually<br>building the skatepark, having previously<br>completed the ‘Planting Seeds’ programme<br>with Flipping Youth and Concrete Jungle<br>Foundation, whereby he was paid for an<br>internship throughout the whole skatepark<br>construction period, learning new skills<br>about working with wood and concrete,<br>whilst earning a competitive wage.<br>The ability to establish financial backing is<br>a prevalent barrier to young people in<br>Jamaica being able to explore their<br>entrepreneurial ideas and start new<br>businesses. Finding employment can be<br>very difficult for those lacking formal<br>educational qualifications, there is also a<br>strong stigma around class, which regions<br>people are from and those with criminal<br>records. These factors all add to the<br>importance of young people who face any<br>of these barriers to have the opportunity to<br>explore self-employment. Flipping Youth is<br>happy to be able to provide this sustained<br>support for a young person who has<br>demonstrated his dedication and<br>commitment to the Freedom Skatepark<br>community initiative, and may not have<br>been able to fulfil his ambition to develop<br>his clothing brand without some financial<br>support.|



## **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.|

|||Our remaining funds are restricted towards<br>funding the ongoing development of<br>Freedom Skatepark and the associated<br>‘Just Dweet’ business launch programme.|
|---|---|---|
|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 are covered by<br>trustees personally. Trustees provide their<br>own IT technology to work on Flipping<br>Youth related activities, so there is no<br>requirement to purchase laptop computers<br>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.
