**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **a. Key performance indicators** 

The charity made payments to projects the trustees elected to support totalling £21,622 (2022: £32,945). The charity worked with various South African academies with the aim to uplift disadvantaged communities through access to sport and education and these make up the majority of the charity’s support for this year. 

**Kwano Cycling Academy** were the recipients of £nil (2022: £10,000), used to cover operational costs of managing the Academy which focuses on the coaching of young cycling talent. This is the continuation of a longer term partnership. 

**Songezo Academy** were the recipients of £16,855 (2022: £18,201) used to support the living wage of the cycling coach and to provide amenities to the Academy. This is the start of a longer term partnership and the trustees expect to continue providing these funds throughout 2022-2023.

Additionally, some of the operational expenditure of the charity is covered by a monthly donation from Rainmaker Solutions, meaning that all funds raised from members of the public, our corporate supporters and other fundraising events can be used to support good causes. The total contributions from Rainmaker Solutions Limited during the period of report amounted to £37,882 (2022: £25,979).

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by the trustees at least annually. The trustees believe that the charity should target to hold unrestricted financial reserves equivalent to a minimum of four month’s operating costs. 

As at 31 March 2023 the charity’s unrestricted reserves was £16,994. This is in line with the target set out in the reserves policy above. 

## **c. Plans for future years** 

The charity intends on continuing to support the projects it currently has funding agreements with. This includes Kwano Academy, under a continuation of the previous agreement (which runs until July 2021, and with the intention to continue the funding of their work), and Bonga.org Cycling Academy. 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).. 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for the year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in “Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of recommended practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102; 

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

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

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

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. 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. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of accounts may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Buffalo Foundation** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Buffalo Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2023.. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2001 (‘the Act’) 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied: 

## **2.3 Assessment of going concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these accounts. 

The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.

## **2.6 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is included in the accounts on an accruals basis and included attributable VAT, which cannot be recovered. 

Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity on a direct basis or by allocation based on the level of direct expenditure relating to that activity.. 

Expenditure comprises the following:

Support costs are allocated on the basis of time spent of these activities. 

## **2.7 Debtors** 

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provisions for non-recoverability. Prepayment are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.
