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	In 2023, the No Falls Foundation continued its efforts to promote safe working at height by targeting a broad range of sectors. The foundation took part in online events, in- person conferences and health and safety events. 2023 saw the planning of two major projects for the Foundation. In 2024, the No Falls Foundation will launch its first major height safety campaign, No Falls Week. The project planning, resources and dedicated website were all completed by the end of 2023 ready to launch the campaign in early 2024. The campaign is aimed at all sectors where work at height takes place, to promote safe work at height and create opportunities to discuss the risks of work at height and how to prevent falls. The Foundation also worked on its first research project, the UK Falls from Height Study to be launched in 2024. The study is in the form of a survey aimed at those who have experienced, witnessed or investigated a fall from height. The study will provide evidence to support changes in practices, standards and regulations that could lead to the prevention of future falls as well as allow deeper understanding of the underlying causes of falls from height. Additionally, the No Falls Foundation continued to offer much-needed support to individuals affected by falls. This was done through financial assistance, guidance, and its peer mentoring programme supported by the Foundation’s ambassadors.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of No Falls Foundation

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of No Falls Foundation ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
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
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.

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.
