## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
Startermotor Limited, is a unique charity in providing access for young people to the classic car world. We work in partnership with colleges, academies and likeminded companies. The mission is to 'put the next generation in the driving seat'.
The collective historic vehicle sector is significant, worth over £15bn annually to the UK's economy, and it employs more than 20,000. However, the workforce is ageing, resulting in a younger generation missing out on learning valuable skills needed as well as historic vehicle enjoyment.
The charity has set out to redress this. In the period of this report, StarterMotor has provided 267 unique driving experiences in its 9 car fleet of classics; attended 24 national events represented by its 26 Ambassadors - enthusiasts aged under 25 - already involved in the sector; presented to 1,410 pupils at its careers days; directly interacted with more than 2,050 students demonstrating access to the sector; and hosted more than 6,000 under sixteens at Bicester Heritage Scrambles. For all this, StarterMotor was awarded the Oxfordshire High Sheriff Award for services to young people in 2023.
In the next year these initiatives will increase overall. In particular there will be 50% more school careers days.
This is having a measurable effect on the interest of young people in historic cars throughout the UK with applications for jobs, participation in events and the appreciation of historic cars growing.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Startermotor Limited**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Startermotor Limited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
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'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those 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)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 10% on reducing balance Motor vehicles - No depreciation
In the opinion of the directors, the vehicle assets (and certain other assets of an historical nature) are of an appreciating nature and the residual value is expected to be greater than the cost or donated value. As a result, no depreciation is provided for on these assets in the financial statements.
Donated assets are capitalised at the estimated market value.
## Loan vehicles
Where supporters of the charity loan vehicles to it for a period of time, these vehicles are not capitalised as a fixed asset as the vehicles have to be returned to their owners at the end of the loan term.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
