HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM YOUTH ZONE Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Trustees, who are also Directors of the company, present their Directors' report for the purposes of section 417 of the Companies Act 2006 and Trustees' Annual Report for the purposes of section 162 of the Charities Act 2011 together with the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ending 31 March 2023.

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone was incorporated on 17 September 2016 (Company registration number: 10381611) as a company limited by guarantee and registered as a Charity on 19 September 2018 (Charity registration number: 1179981).

Who we are

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone, named by young people as ‘West', will be a purpose-built facility for the borough’s young people aged 8 – 19, and up to 25 for those with disabilities.

The Youth Zone will be located in White City, on the corner of South Africa Road and Dorando Close, and is expected to be completed by December 2023, with a formal opening planned for Spring 2024. It is a core component of a wider development known as EdCity, which will create an education and charity hub in White City – bringing social and educational benefits to the local community. As well as the Youth Zone, once finished EdCity will include new premises for the primary school, nursery, and adult education centre, as well as a new office space, and new affordable homes.

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone will join a network of similar independent youth organisations that all share the same principles, developed by the Charity OnSide Youth Zones, which is building 21st century youth facilities across the UK. Youth Zones are based upon a proven model, which has been established in several other towns and cities across the country, and young people from Hammersmith and Fulham will have access to a variety of fantastic activities for a cost of only £5 for an annual membership and 50p per visit. The Youth Zone will provide a safe environment, where young people can spend their leisure time, helping each young person to raise their aspirations, as well as improve their physical and mental health. Up to 20 different activities will take place each night, such as football, boxing, dancing, climbing, creative arts, music, drama and employability training – all for just 50p per visit.

The OnSide Youth Zone model uses a unique partnership approach; drawing together the Local Authority, private sector businesses, young people and the wider local community. This partnership approach aims to establish the Youth Zone right in the heart of the community for the long term, whilst meeting the needs of young people today. Preparation for Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone has been taking place for a number of years, with all the capital funding in place to develop this amazing new facility, plus a considerable proportion of the revenue funding required to operate the Youth Zone for the first three years. The last year has seen continued progress with the project as we prepare to open the Youth Zone in spring 2024. Construction has continued throughout this year, at the same time as the Board, with OnSide’s support has continued to raise funding to ensure the Youth Zone has all the equipment needed and first three years of running costs, so it can start from strong foundations. Next year will be a momentous year for this new charity, as the Youth Zone will open to thousands of young people, after many years of development to get to this point.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone is a company limited by guarantee without share capital and registered under the Companies Act 2006, registration number 10381611. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 17 September 2016. Management of the company’s affairs is vested in the coDirectors. It is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission on 19 September 2018.

In the event of a winding-up, the present members and those who have ceased to be a member within one year of such an event have guaranteed the liabilities of the company to the sum not exceeding ten pounds each.

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees

The first Directors were the subscribers to the memorandum as notified to Companies House as the first Directors of the Charity. A person appointed as a Director thereupon becomes a Member of the Charity and a Directors who ceases to hold office for any reason thereupon ceases to be a Member of the Charity. Directors have the power to appoint, by ordinary resolution, any person to be a Director who is willing to act as such. New Directors will be recruited according to the needs of the Charity and the suitability of possible candidates. A unanimous approval of existing Directors would lead to their appointment.

Page 2

HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM YOUTH ZONE Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

Trustees are trained through a Board Development Day before the Youth Zone opens, providing a complete overview on Governance, Safeguarding, Fundraising and overseeing the Youth Zone’s offer; and also offered a series of monthly masterclasses covering all aspects of a Youth Zone’s operations from a Trustee’s perspective.

The Memorandum and Articles of Association states that the number of members (Directors) shall have no maximum and shall not be less than three. At the first Annual General Meeting all Directors must retire and seek re-election. At each subsequent Annual General Meeting one third of the Directors are required to retire by rotation and seek re-appointment if they wish to continue.

The Members of the Charity are its Directors for the time being and the only persons eligible to be Members of the Charity are its Directors.

Full details of the rules are contained in the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated on incorporation on 17 September 2016, which may be inspected at the Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone registered office.

Organisational Structure

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone is governed by its Trustee Board which is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organisation and the policy of the Charity. The Trustees carry the ultimate responsibility for the conduct of Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone and for ensuring that the Charity satisfies its legal and contractual obligations. Trustees meet approximately every two months. Prior to opening the Trustees delegate day-to-day running of the project to the OnSide team – a group of specialists who deliver all aspects required to open a Youth Zone successfully. After opening the Trustees will delegate day-to-day management to the Youth Zone’s Chief Executive and their senior management team.

Decisions are determined by a simple majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes the Chairman of the meeting has the casting vote.

Risk management

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have established suitable risk management and control procedures.

The main risks and controls are as follows:

• The Youth Zone facility not being built according to the required specification or within the available budget – the Agreement for Lease protects H&F Youth Zone’s interests in these areas which are the responsibility for the Developer and Landlord.

• The Youth Zone opens with insufficient funding to deliver the target core offer for all Youth Zones – OnSide have recruited a dedicated major donor fundraiser and H&F Youth Zone are in the process of recruiting a Head of Fundraising & Comms to raise the ongoing running costs required for the first three years with the support of the Youth Zone’s Board. We are making significant progress to this target.

Related party transactions

There were no transactions with related parties required to be disclosed in the financial statements.

OBJECTIVE AND ACTIVITIES

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone's objects are to help and educate children and young people resident in Hammersmith & Fulham and surrounding areas through their leisure time activities by promoting their full physical and spiritual potential in order that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and their conditions of life may improve.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

We are indebted to the capital funders and founder patrons who have committed to support the Youth Zone. London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LBHF) have committed their support to the capital project and have provided a significant portion of the finances needed for the construction of the Youth Zone, as well as providing leadership in their role as a major strategic partner. Ark has also contributed considerable capital funding as part of their agreement with the Council for the wider development. The Seroussi Foundation, UBS Optimus Foundation, St James's Place Charitable Foundation, Goldman Sachs Gives and Partners at Goldman Sachs, the JMCMRJ Sorrell Foundation, Charles Dunstone Charitable Trust, the Kusuma Trust, Blenheim Chalcot, the Nedungadi family, Mark Sorrell, Omar Abbosh, Lisa Bridgett and Paolo Guglielmini have together pledged to provide the funding required for the construction; for the furniture, fittings and equipment; plus the remaining professional fees to ensure the building meets our requirements. We are grateful to all supporters who have been instrumental in driving the project forward.

In 2022/23, the Charity welcomed Ian Wason, Nicole Trehy and Louise Hewitson onto the Board of Trustees, with Sue Fennimore stepping down after serving for 6 years as a Trustee and playing a crucial role to bring the Youth Zone to fruition. Over this period all trustees and partners have continued to work tirelessly to ensure the Youth Zone is afforded the best possible start to life. The Charity has also appointed its first paid member of staff with Elanor Gunn recruited as Chief Executive in this period, and also a Young People’s Development Group has been formed consisting of young people from the area who will shape many aspects of the project and act as the Youth Zone’s ambassadors before and after opening.

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone enjoys the support of OnSide Youth Zones (charity number 1125893) in its development and will become a member of the growing OnSide network of Youth Zones.

Public benefit

All the activities of the Charity (as summarised above) were undertaken to further its charitable purposes for public benefit. The provision of a high-quality borough-centre facility for young people responds to a clear, ongoing demand from young people, parents and wider communities for more and better places for young people to go. Although providing a service to all young people, Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone will focus on attendance and participation by young members across the entire community who will be able to enjoy affordable access to all the opportunities that the facilities will provide. This will lead to improved achievements and enhanced aspirations amongst young members of the local community. They will be happier, healthier and make more constructive use of their leisure time which consequently will help reduce nuisance and anti-social behaviour. Longer term public benefits will include improved health, reduced crime, enhanced learning and employability and greater community cohesion.

The Trustees of Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone believe they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Volunteers’ contribution

Throughout the year all members of the Board of Trustees made invaluable voluntary contributions to the Charity’s work in terms of governance, professional and business experience, financial planning, fundraising and leading initiatives across the project. Such contributions were, on average, equivalent to one full day each calendar month.

Investment Activities

Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charitable company has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit. Investments are made where required to further the aims and objects of the Charity. Currently, the Charity does not currently hold any investments other than cash on deposit with Svenska Handelsbanken.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

A summary of the results for the year is shown below:

	£
Incoming resources	4,209,036
Outgoing resources	(8,873)
Net incoming resources	4,200,163

The charity is still in its embryonic phase with donations being received to fund the design and construction of the Youth Zone. The charity continues to cultivate further donations from a variety of sources as outlined below.

Reserves Policy

The Charity has secured the funding to complete the construction of the Youth Zone and the Founder Patron (revenue) campaign is well underway. The Trustees have prepared projections of the operating costs once completed. The Board of Trustees of Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone has established a reserves policy which appropriately reflects the risks to which the Charity is exposed. Once the Youth Zone is operating and in compliance with such policy, it will review regularly both the sum it wishes to hold in reserves in the unrestricted budget and the basis for that figure. The reserves policy does not consider expenditure which is linked to restricted projects and therefore covered by restricted funds.

In reviewing the potential costs that could arise should a significant reduction in income be incurred, the Trustees have determined that unrestricted, ‘free’, reserves should be maintained at approximately 3 months’ running costs. The Trustees manage Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zones' finances so that an adequate level of reserves can be maintained in compliance with the reserves policy. At 31 March 2023, the charity had total funds of £5,816,628 (2022: £1,616,465), of which £1,991,012 were unrestricted (2022: £641,264) and £3,825,616 were restricted (2022: £975,201).

Principal Funding Sources

The Directors wish to record their thanks to all those individuals and companies who have made donations or pledged their support to the work of the Charity; this includes all those listed above plus other anonymous donors.

Future plans

In the next year we will raise the remaining £100k needed for the fixtures, fittings & equipment, and also grow the Youth Zone’s family of revenue funders with a target of ensuring that the Youth Zone’s pre-opening and first three years of running costs are fully funded. With the completion of the building works expected by December 2023, and a full opening planned for Spring 2024, we are now ramping up our preparation activities, including the recruitment of the staff and volunteer team, starting with the Chief Executive, Elanor Gunn, who commenced in post in April 2023, and also our activities to engage local partners so the Youth Zone is a platform for other youth organisations and plays a positive role in the local community beyond the Youth Zone’s gates. The Youth Zone’s Young People’s Development Group will continue its work, inputting into other key activities including the internal fit out of the Youth Zone, the recruitment of key staff, and raising the profile of the Youth Zone across local schools.

WEST already benefits from a Board of experienced and committed Trustees. To build on this, and in preparation for full operation, the organisation will continue to expand the Board of Directors / Trustees including portfolios for legal and safeguarding who will provide effective governance, oversight and support across Youth Zone operations and activities.

Fundraising statement

OnSide generates revenue pledges for WEST Youth Zone which fund the first three to four years of operation. Revenue donations are typically received from philanthropic individuals and corporates. The fundraiser seek gifts of £25,000 PA (or higher) for four years. These donors are known as Founder Patrons and their gifts are unrestricted towards the revenue costs of WEST Youth Zone, some of which may also be directed towards the Youth Zone's reserves. These are largely raised through one to one meetings between the OnSide Senior Philanthropy Manager for WEST, and prospective donors. On occasion we will hold events to bring together groups of donors/prospective donors. WEST does not directly contact the public to take part in fundraising, but some key stakeholders (e.g. trustees) may undertake their own challenges to raise money for the Youth Zone.

The Charity works in a compliant way with the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Practice. We do not employ third parties to undertake our fundraising and WEST does not operate mass fundraising campaigns, cold calling or street-based collections. We have received zero complaints about our fundraising work.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also directors of Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report (incorporating the directors’ 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).

Company law 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 charitable company and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that 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 the Charities SORP;

• 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 charitable company 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 charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

• there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and

• the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Charities SORP.

The Trustees report was approved and was signed on behalf of the Trustees by:

M. Davies Chair: Company Director and Trustee Date: 29th September, 2023

HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM YOUTH ZONE Independent auditor’s report to the members of Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is 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).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 the annual report, including the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

• the information given in the trustees' report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes 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' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Page 7

HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM YOUTH ZONE Independent auditor’s report to the members of Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone (continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included with the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

• the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees' (who are also the 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 charity’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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charity, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to company and financial reporting legislation and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management, considering the internal controls in place and discussion amongst the engagement team.

We determined that the principal risks were related to the recognition of income and expenditure on fixed assets.

In response to the risks identified we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to reviewing Trustees meeting minutes, examining the donation records, and examining the lease agreement and expenditure invoices for the development.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM YOUTH ZONE Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Zone is a private charitable company limited by guarantee. The charitable company is incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is: Atria, Spa Road, Bolton, BL1 4AG.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011, and in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, rounded to the nearest pound. The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2

Going concern

The Charity has maintained a financially stable state over the last financial year. The Trustees have taken a number of steps to assess the Youth Zone’s ability to continue as a going concern; all key donors have been contacted in order to identify any challenges for them in maintaining their support and Trustees were delighted that all the parties remain fully committed to the project. We are well on track to securing 40 Founder Patrons prior to opening, as well as raising the full capital requirement needed to complete the build.

Whilst it is never possible to be certain of the future, the Trustees consider that the steps taken are sufficient to classify the charity as a going concern and are confident in the Youth Zone’s ability to meet its short and medium term obligations.

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations is recognised at the time the donation is receivable.

1.4 Expenditure

Raising funds

This expenditure comprises costs incurred in encouraging people and organisations to contribute financially to the charity’s work. It includes the costs of hosting fundraising events.

Charitable activities

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Assets in the course of construction are included at costs incurred to date. Depreciation on these assets is not charged until they are brought into use.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.6 Debtors

Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8 Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising 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 are recognised at their settlement amount.

1.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.10 Funds

Unrestricted funds are those which are not subject to any special restrictions and they can be used as the Trustees decide in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income is allocated to the appropriate fund.

1.11 Accounting estimates and judgements

There were no significant estimates and judgements made by the charity.
