## **ASSET ANNUAL REPORT SEPTEMBER 2023 – AUGUST 2024**
## **BACKGROUND INFORMATION**
ASSET is the ‘Adrian Sudbury Schools’ Education Trust’
Adrian Sudbury was a 27-year-old journalist who died of Leukaemia. He lived in Nottinghamshire.
Adrian’s dying wish was that every 16- 18-year-old could be taught the facts about blood, stem cell and organ donation. Students are then able to make informed choices about donation.
Adrian had a successful campaign that went all the way to 10 Downing Street. He had time with the then Prime Minister who was so supportive of Adrian’s wish, that when Adrian died, provided some initial funding to start our Education Programme called Register and Be a Lifesaver (R&Be).
ASSET now runs the R&Be Education Programme in Schools, Academies and Colleges throughout the country.
ASSET works in partnership with NHS Blood and Transplant. In addition, ASSET will run a recruitment event in some schools after an R&Be presentation to allow students who decide, after a suitable period of reflection, to register as potential stem cell/bone marrow donors with the Anthony Nolan stem cell Register. We are now recruitment partners with Anthony Nolan.
## **HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE REACH?**
ASSET has 25 trained Volunteers. Our trained Presenter Volunteers give inspirational awareness raising R&Be Presentations in Schools, Academies and Colleges. Our trained Recruitment Volunteers recruit Students to join the UK Stem Cell register at well organised recruitment events in School establishments. Some of our Volunteers do both.
Our annual Training Day was held in September at the Hilton Hotel Leicester.
## **WHAT SORT OF IMPACT DO WE HAVE?**
As a result of our R&Be Presentations to 16–18-year-olds during the academic School Year 2023-2024;
102 Schools were visited
147 Presentations were given
10533 Students were spoken to.
1715 Students joined the Stem Cell register.
38 Recruitment events were held
87 Students joined the NHS Blood and Transplant Organ Register.
106 Students enrolled to become first time Blood donors.
In addition, 13 Students who previously registered as potential stem cell donors after an R&Be presentation, were found to be a match for patients and donated their stem cells, giving 13 people a second chance of life.
ASSET is represented on the NHS Blood and Transplant Blood Forum and the NHS Blood and Transplant Organ Forum.
ASSET was presented with a Special Award in appreciation of 15 years of outstanding dedication to educating young people about stem cell donation and saving and improving the lives of hundreds of people in need of a lifesaving transplant.
The Register & Be a Lifesaver Education Programme has existed since 2009. In total during the time 2009 – 31 August 2024
33273 Students have joined the UK Stem Cell register
9117 Students have joined the NHS Blood and Transplant Organ Register
16265 Students have enrolled to become Blood Donors
286 Students have donated stem cells, giving 286 people a second chance of life
## **HOW MUCH DO WE SPEND DOING THAT?**
ASSET costs around £6000 annually
No one is paid a salary and there are no premises costs. Every activity is run by trained Volunteers.
ASSET depends on donations and grants to continue our life saving work

**The Adrian Sudbury Schools Education Trust ("ASSET") Independent Examiners Report**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Adrian Sudbury Schools Education Trust ("ASSET")**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Adrian Sudbury Schools Education Trust ("ASSET") for the year ended 31 August 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 financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity 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 financial statements 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 can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

**The Adrian Sudbury Schools Education Trust ("ASSET") Notes to the Accounts**

- Recognition of Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which expenditure cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
- Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.
- Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.
- Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
- Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Freehold investment property**
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
## **Stocks**
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
## **Trade and other debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
## **Trade and other creditors**
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

**The Adrian Sudbury Schools Education Trust ("ASSET") Notes to the Accounts**
## **Research and development**
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
## **Foreign currencies**
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
## **Leased assets**
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
## **Pension costs**
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services**
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
## 2 **Company status**
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
