The accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective January 2019).

Structure, governance and management

Governance

The foundation was incorporated on 16 April 2018. The foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation and is registered with the Charity Commission, charity number 1177958.

Trustees

The trustees who served during the year were: Cemal Ezel Robert Gillion Alison Egan Justin Irwin Glen Earlam Nimesh Shah (appointed 14 May 2024)

There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee. There is no maximum number of charity trustees that may be appointed to the CIO. Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

Risk factors

The trustees have reviewed the risks to the foundation's assets and income and are satisfied that adequate controls are in place.

Objects and activities

The foundation's objects are to support people experiencing homelessness back into employment.

Achievements, performance and financial review

Financial review

Income

Total income for the year was £2.8m, which included the significant donation of £1m from Nespresso. This is being held as designated funding for joint projects, including launching in Dublin in July 2024. The donation from Change Please CIC was £422,090 (2022/23 - £233,447), an increase of 81%. The CIC donates 100% of its profits to the Foundation and the growth in donation mirrors the growth in wholesale sales of coffee in Change Please CIC and increase in the percentage of sales donated, 7% of wholesale sales in 2023/24 compared to 5% in 2022/23.

Grants and other donations also increased this year with grants received from London Housing Foundation, CABWI, Savoy Education Trust, Barratt and also the Greater London Authority Jobs and Skills for Londoners Grant (via Change Please CIC).

Sponsorship includes monies from Colgate and HSBC into our Driving for Change programme.

Expenditure

Total expenditure for the year was £1.5m. £1.39m of our expenditure (89%) was directly relating to the charitable activities of the charity (2022/23 – 84%). This represents 89p in the pound going to impact. We invested £97,165 (2022/23 - £122,110) in fundraising and £79,117 (2022/23 - £60,622) in central support costs and governance costs.

Net income transferred to reserves is £1,239,242.

Restricted funds of £389,757 were received during the year, £50,000 of restricted funds remain at 30 June 2024. Designated Funds of £1m (Nespresso donation) are also in place at 30 June 2024.

Reserves policy

Unrestricted reserves at 30 June 2024 were £797,161 (2023 - £539,030).

In the Trustees’ view, reserves should be maintained at a level of at least three months cover of expenditure and in practice we work to maintain between three and six months cover at all times.

The reserves at 30 June 2024 are sufficient to cover 6 months of expenditure.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding of Trainees, volunteers, staff and other people (including members of the public) who come in to contact with the Foundation is a priority. Safeguarding is considered at Trustee meetings, and our policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and discussed, to ensure they are effective and being implemented appropriately.

Change Please Foundation has a Designated Safeguarding Officer and a nominated deputy. The Manager, for whom the Administrator will act as deputy in his or her absence, must also be informed of issues which arise under our Vulnerable Adults Policy. The Designated Safeguarding Officer and Deputy Safeguarding Officer are responsible for adult protection and the implementation of this policy. It is the responsibility of the Designated Safeguarding Officer to take appropriate action following any expression of concern and make referrals to the appropriate agency.

Trustees' report for the year ended 30 June 2024

Trustees' responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting standards and applicable regulations). Under that law the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the trustees for that year.

In preparing the accounts, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the trustees' transcations and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the relevant Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity's governing document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor's report to the trustees of the Change Please Foundation

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Change Please Foundation] (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Cash flow statement and the notes to the accounts, including significant accounting policies.. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in Trustees’ report and audited accounts, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees’ annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Change Please Foundation

Independent auditor's report to the trustees of the Change Please Foundation

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

• the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report, which incorporates the Directors’ Report prepared for the purpose of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the Directors’ Report included within the Trustees’ Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report contained within the Trustees’ Annual Report.

• the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies’ exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 3, the trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of accounts

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

We obtained a general understanding of the charity’s legal and regulatory framework through enquiry of management concerning their understanding of relevant laws and regulations and the entity’s policies and procedures regarding compliance.

We understand that the charity complies with the framework through:

Change Please Foundation

Independent auditor's report to the trustees of the Change Please Foundation

• Subscribing to relevant updates from external experts, and making changes to internal procedures and controls as necessary

In the context of the audit, we considered those laws and regulations which determine the form and content of the financial statements, which are central to the charity’s ability to conduct its business, and where there is a risk that failure to comply could result in material penalties. We identified the following laws and regulations as being of significance in the context of the charity’s activities:

• the Charities Act 2011

Based on our understanding we performed the following specific procedures to gain evidence about compliance with the significant laws and regulations identified above:

• making enquiries of management and those charged with governance to understand their awareness of any non-compliance of laws and regulations

• inquiring about the policies that have been established to prevent non-compliance with laws and regulations by officers of the charity

The senior statutory auditor led a discussion with senior members of the engagement team regarding the susceptibility of the entity’s accounts to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. The areas identified in this discussion were:

• Manipulation of the accounts via fraudulent journal entries

These areas were communicated to the other members of the engagement team not present at the discussion. The procedures we carried out to gain evidence in the above areas included:

• Testing journal entries in the accounts

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Restricted funds

The driving for change fund is money given for the running of the buses in key London Boroughs to provide life changing and essential services to the most vulnerable. The transfers from this fund have arisen when income is given to purchase or upgrade vehicles or equipment and the fund has been utilised for that purpose.

The training fund is money given for the running of our training programme which aims to equip each trainee with the skills and experience they need to start a new career as a barista. We provide wrap around support (life admin, therapy, housing support and more) throughout the programme and beyond.

The retail fund is money given to help expand the retail operation to enable us to offer more training places.

Designated funds

This fund represents the money given to the charity by Nespresso. The trustees have designated the fund to help set up a similar charity in Ireland and support the UK Foundation's development.
