## **THE DRIVER YOUTH TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **31ST AUGUST 2024** 

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2024. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the company comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Structure, Governance and management** 

The Driver Youth Trust is a company limited by guarantee (company number: 09848958) and is registered as a charity (charity number: 1167893). The company was incorporated on 29th October 2015 and obtained charitable status on 28th June 2016. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 29th October 2015. The original charity was constituted under a trust deed dated 17 July 2007. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 29th October 2015. Having received the Charity Commission’s consent dated 24 February 2022 and 24 March 2022 as required under section 198 Charities Act 2011, a special resolution was duly passed by way of written resolution pursuant to Chapter 2 of Part 13 of the Companies Act 2006 adopting new articles of association as attached thereto, of the Company in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the existing articles of association. 

## **Our mission** 

DYT’s mission is to help young people who struggle to read and write. 

We do this by: 

- Working in partnership with teachers and other educational professionals to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to identify and support learners with literacy difficulties. 

- Campaigning on behalf of young people, teachers and schools so that they have the resources and support they need to succeed. 

## **Our vision** 

We want to be recognised for our distinctive impact in education as the leading organisation that enables teachers to better meet the needs of young people with literacy difficulties. To achieve this, DYT must be financially sustainable in order to secure our longevity and grow our reputation and influence to become the leading organisation for literacy difficulties. 

## **Achievements and activities for the furtherance of the Trust’s aims** 

DYT’s vision is based on our experience of working with schools and knowledge that there is a group of learners in our schools who are consistently underperforming in literacy because of underlying difficulties that are not responsive to standard educational approaches. Overwhelmingly, these children are in mainstream schools. 

There is consensus that teachers, equipped with the right knowledge and skills, are our greatest asset in overcoming literacy difficulties. Substantial evidence points to the quality of teaching as a critical determinant of outcomes for 'at risk' learners.

## **Kingston University Partnership** 

Building on this, the Trustees agreed in May 2023 to enter into an exciting partnership with Kingston University’s Education Department. DYT agreed to provide the funding for the employment costs of a dedicated expert dyslexia tutor, Dyslexia Specialist Tutor (DST) employed by Kingston University on a twoyear fixed term contract. 

The aims of the project are: 

- To embed knowledge and understanding of dyslexia and literacy difficulties in professional practice courses, not as standalone modules or separate units of work, so that trainee teachers know what dyslexia is and how to respond appropriately in their professional practice to ensure pupils receive the most appropriate interventions. 

- To ensure a sustainable culture of knowledge and understanding, in order to have positive long-term impact. 

It has been a busy year focusing on designing the undergraduate module to be rolled out to BA, PGCE and Post Graduate students, across all subjects. Alongside this a CPD webinar series – STOP dyslexic learners underperforming at school, and a KUDYT YouTube channel sharing how to make studying at university more inclusive, have been developed. As this project works closely with partner schools, where trainee teachers are placed, Introduction to KUDYT material has also been designed and developed for them. 

A critical part of our joint work is the development of a research study, led by KU and reported on to DYT The aim of this is to gather data to capture how the specific taught sessions affects knowledge and understanding of dyslexia for all trainee teachers. This data will then inform the specific taught sessions for all ITT programmes and to evidence impact on personal and professional development in relation to knowledge, understanding and application of effective interventions addressing dyslexia in professional practice. 

Throughout the year a significant amount of external presentations and networking events have been attended, with the aim of informing the sector of our work and networking. There has been significant interest shown by other ITT providers and the intention is to build on this in the coming year. These include sessions on Dyslexia inclusive teaching 

- The Festival of Learning – CPD event open to all KU academic staff. 

- Academics in the Education Department staff were offered one to ones to help them modify teaching materials to model inclusive practise. 

- Aim Higher conference to SENCos and Learning support staff from around the London area. 

- `o` Librarian CPD Event in order to support librarians who teach students how to use the library for research, in making their teaching more inclusive. 

- Attended the BDA International Research Conference – Dimensions of Dyslexia: Evidence and Practise.  A great networking opportunity. 

- Published an article for SEN magazine. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissioners general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in setting the grant making policy. 

The charity’s aims are intended to benefit the public generally and people in poverty are not excluded from the opportunity to benefit.

## **31ST AUGUST 2024** 

## **Investment Policy** 

As in the previous year the trustees have delegated authority to James Hambro to manage investments for the Charity in accordance with the investment policy laid down by the trustees. The performance of the portfolio is monitored on a regular basis, including quarterly reports to the trustees. The trustees have continued their policy of holding funds in a mix of fixed interest security and equities. 

## **Financial Review** 

Income for the year amounted to £32,565 (2023: £33,865) and comprised income arising from the charity's investments. Charitable expenditure in the year totalled £105,831 (2022: £73,735). Gains on investments were £259,480 (2023: losses £9,523). Total funds carried forward were £2,283,262 (2023: £2,097,048) 

Given the availability of the expendable endowment fund, the Trustees do not consider that the charity needs to maintain any significant free reserves although they recognise that such reserves will arise from time to time . 

## **Trustees responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year.  Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf.

As the charity’s trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the ‘2011 Act’).

## **Independent examiner’s report** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

- (2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or 

- (3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- (4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024** 

## **1. STATUTORY INFORMATION** 

The Driver Youth Trust Limited is a private Charitable Company, limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales.  The company’s registered number and registered office address can be found on the charity information page. 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## a) **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102, effective 1 January 2015), hereafter referred to as the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Driver Youth Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.  However, there are no judgements or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment. 

## b) **Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## c) **Income** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resource can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Income arising from assets held within the expendable endowment fund is recognised as unrestricted income when it becomes receivable.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024** 

## d) **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.  All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the activity. 

Grants paid included in charitable activities are recognised when they become unconditional or when the satisfaction of any condition moves outside the charity’s control.   In practice grants are normally paid at the same time as a constructive obligation arises and are accounted for accordingly. 

Charitable activities also includes expenditure relating to the governance of the charity and include audit fees and the fees relating to the administration of the charity and the maintenance of its financial records. 

Costs of raising funds comprise the Investment Managers fees. 

## e) **Investments** 

The charity’s investments consist of fixed interest securities, equity investments and deposits held by James Hambro on behalf of the charity. 

Investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date.  Any gain or loss on revaluation is disclosed in the SOFA. 

Gains/(losses) on investment assets include those arising on disposal of investments during the accounting period in addition to unrealised gains/(losses) arising on period end valuation. 

- f) **Creditors** 

Short term creditors with no stated interest rate are recorded at transaction price.  Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the SOFA. 

- g) **Cash at bank** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash held by the bank and also with the investment manager. 

- h) **Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.  Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at either market value or their settlement value. 

- i) **Unrestricted general funds** 

Unrestricted general funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for use in furtherance of the general objects of the charity without restriction. 

## j) **Endowment funds** 

Expendable endowment funds are those which are required to be invested to produce income but which may be transferred to unrestricted funds at the discretion of the trustees in order that they may be expended in furtherance of the charity’s objectives.
