**POWER THE FIGHT** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

Power The Fight was launched in early 2019 in response to the rapid increase in serious youth violence in the UK, and specifically based on the conviction that communities in the UK must be at the forefront of such a response. Power The Fight exists to empower communities to end youth violence through working and learning together. We work with parents, churches, faith groups, community organisations and statutory agencies, equipping and training them through workshops to engage with issues of youth violence and its causative factors in their context. We produce resources, engage with high level decision makers within organisations and government bodies to influence policy (such as the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit and the cross-party Youth Violence Commission), and support families directly affected by youth violence. 

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation and is governed by its Constitution. 

The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are: 

in accordance with Christian principles and for the public benefit, the prevention of crime and the protection of people of all ages and their property from knife crime and other serious youth violence by working for: 

(a) the rehabilitation of persons engaged in knife crime and other serious youth violence or at risk of becoming so engaged; and 

(b) the support of victims of knife crime or other serious youth violence and their families. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Power The Fight recognises the UK's increase in serious youth violence as a public health crisis with multiple causative factors including undiagnosed and untreated trauma, lack of focus on early intervention, education in youth services and social inequality. Consequently, we advocate for a holistic approach to tackle these inter-related systemic root issues and protect the lives of our children and young people. Our work is trauma informed and is co-designed with the community. Power The Fight has unique access to leading thinkers and practitioners from a range of disciplines working in the field of violence affecting young people, who partner with us to deliver a range of tailored training opportunities. 

Since our launch in January 2019 Power The Fight has trained over 14,000 people across the UK. Partners have included London Borough Councils, the Premier League, NHS England, a number of Church of England Dioceses and marketing agencies. Individuals attending our open access training events have come from a variety of faith, ethnic and professional backgrounds, including Social Services, the NHS, arts and sports organisations, education (including alternative provision) and youth work. 

Power The Fight has developed resources to help faith and community groups to better understand the issues surrounding violence affecting young people. These include specialist Power Talks accessed via our website, as well as links to other toolkits. The four seasons of Power Talks combined have now had over 100,000 online views, and continue to be developed as need arises. 

In 2022 Ben Lindsay, CEO and Trustee of Power the Fight, was awarded an OBE for services to the community in South East London.  His investiture was celebrated in November 2023.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **Therapeutic Intervention for Peace (TIP)** 

In 2023, Power The Fight successfully completed the delivery of the 'TIP' programme in two schools and one alternative provision centre in South London. Additionally, a new two-year programme was launched in three new schools. The programme's delivery included engagement with young people, parents, and school staff, supporting 72 young people, 24 parents, and 45 school staff members. 

Power The Fight has also expanded the wider learning from the TIP programme to support other organisations in developing their own strategies to reduce violence affecting young people. In 2022/23, we piloted this 'TIP Macro' approach in partnership with Newham Council, engaging 139 professionals from seven organisations. Furthermore, in 2023, Power The Fight launched the TIP Alumni programme, working with six young people who had previously engaged with TIP in their schools. This initiative aims to facilitate youth-led efforts to support mental health and reduce risks related to violence and exploitation. 

In March 2023 the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit, commenting on the most recent evaluation report on the TIP programme, said "Interventions carried out by skilled coaches shows the value of a trusted adult relationship in a young person's life and how that support can often be life-changing. The support they can also provide teachers and staff in helping young people deal with trauma and mental health is unparallelled..... The fantastic work carried out by Power the Fight demonstrates the impact of this approach and builds on our shared commitment in tackling violence affecting young people and making education inclusive and accessible to all Londoners". 

## **TIP Campaign** 

Power The Fight and The Marketing Store Worldwide (TMSW) have developed a long-standing relationship, this has included pro-bono support in marketing and PR services to the charity. In 2023, discussions began regarding a social media campaign for Mental Health Awareness Week using the media TMSW created for the highly successful fundraising dinner at the House of Lords in December 2022. This digital fundraising plan was created to assist the team at Power The Fight - to package the heartbeat of our cause and to widen the conversation with potential corporate partners, high net worth individuals and our everyday givers. It was intended to encourage parents, caregivers and those responsible for safeguarding to consider what our young people encounter daily and the risks and scenarios that can be associated with their poor mental health. 

The crowdfunding campaign using the film created by TMSW raised £31,855. The film can be viewed on our YouTube channel. 

## **Protecting Young Black Lives, Celebrating Black Professionals** 

In October 2023, Power The Fight and Professor Carlene Firmin hosted the first 3-day residential retreat "Protecting Young Black Lives, Celebrating Black Professionals" at Cumberland Lodge for 64 attendees. The event gathered some of the most experienced UK Black professionals across education, politics, social services, media and the youth sector to come together to be celebrated for the excellent work they deliver which often goes unnoticed. It is hard to put into words the impact and legacy from this event. It was a powerful, hope-filled, challenging, emotional and vulnerable space for all, many of whom noted they had never been in a totally Black space from a professional perspective, providing a safety they had never experienced. Those who attended noted they returned to their work more passionate and empowered. 

## **Developing services for families** 

In 2023 Power the Fight and the Helping Families Team at South London and Maudsley (SLAM) continued their partnership designed to extend the reach of therapeutic services to families from global majority backgrounds who are exposed to high risks of gang affiliation, community threat and violence. This partnership has been supported by a three-year grant from the Bernard Lewis Foundation. 13 family members have been engaged in the project through co-production, and Power The Fight have also delivered a range of training to SLAM teams. 

## **Training** 

Power The Fight trained a range of organisations in 2023, with notable partnerships including the London Borough of Newham, Cardiff Council, London Youth, the Youth Justice Centre Improvement Partnership, Barnados, the Premier League, McDonalds and Wandsworth & Richmond Council. In total Power The Fight trained 600 professionals across 20 organisations and projects in 2023. 

## **Family and Community Support** 

In 2023 Power the Fight continued to support those directly impacted by knife crime, primarily through family support grants. We supported 7 families in this way in 2023. Power The Fight also supported Braves grassroots sports club for young people at heightened risk of violence and exploitation with a donation of £3000 towards their activities in 2023.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **Advocating For Change** 

In 2023 Power The Fight continued to advocate for wider societal and cultural change through our wealth of relationships across local and central Government, church denominations and youth service providers, including Church of England Dioceses, MPs and the Metropolitan Police. Power The Fight continues to sit on the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit offering strategic advice on how best to reduce violence in London. 

Following the successful round table for church leaders at the House of Lords in January 2023, Power The Fight launched a church leaders network that now meets quarterly online. This is attended by up to 10 leaders at a time and provides space for learning about violence that affects young people, sharing of best practice in a church context and awareness raising. 

Volunteers, in the form of its Advisory Group and its Trustees, provide considerable support for Power The Fight's activities. The charity could not operate so effectively without their time and input. 

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. Structure, Governance and Management Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the trustees, who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the charity has been delegated to an operational management team led  by the CEO. 

New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees, and since January 2023 one new Trustee has been appointed. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

During the year income was £856,184 (2022 £978,486), and expenditure £853,866 (2022 £682,375). As a result, the charity's funds held increased by around £3,000; some restricted and some designated for specific future needs (see Note 17 to the accounts for details). 

We are grateful to all the organisations that donated time and resources to help develop Power the Fight during 2023. These have included the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit, Durham University, Comic Relief, the Esmee Fairburn Foundation, the Lewisham National Community Infrastructure Levy Fund, Johnson and Johnson, the Bernard Lewis Family Charitable Trust, the 54:2 Foundation, Mission 44, the Benefact Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundation, HSBC, Natwest, the Thirty Percy Foundation, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, the BA Better World Community Fund, the Tim Lewis Trust, CAF America, Charter Schools Educational Trust, the Lightbulb Trust, the Forbes Family Group, Cumberland Lodge and BBC Children in Need. 

The Trustees also recognise the amazing value of general gift support amounting to over £132,000 in 2023 from individuals (53% by value), churches (15% by value) and local businesses and others (32% by value). We would like to thank all who give to support the work of Power the Fight; whether with large amounts or small. We recognise that even relatively small amounts of support is often at significant cost to those giving and these general gifts enable the charity to build well on a base that enables us to achieve more and more quickly than we would otherwise. This support from local communities in London and beyond means a great deal to us. 

Management and HR consultants and professional fundraisers have also donated time without charge as part of their commitment to see the charity succeed in its vital work. Details are outlined in Note 3 to the accounts. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Power The Fight continues to designate part of its reserves for general purpose grants for the strategic support of community groups, who we see playing a critical role in the sustainable reduction of violence affecting young people. £50,000 has been retained for this purpose. 

The second designated part of Power The Fight's reserves is focused on research, with £20,000 designated over two years initially. 

With the continued growth of the charity and its projects, the trustees continue to see that reserves are adequate to ensure sustainability of each project undertaken. The charity has a policy whereby general reserves should be held of at least 2 months of general fund expenditure (approximately £100,000 now based on 2023 expenditure) plus sufficient to ensure grant funded projects could be completed should there be any hiatus in funding and the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. Part of that commitment to adequacy of finance is maintaining a designated "Sustainability fund" of £50,000; a total of £150,000. 

At the year end, the charity had general fund net current assets of around £240,000 (equivalent to around 10 months of general fund expenditure) and in addition the 'Sustainability fund' held £50,000 of cash balances. The charity is complying with its reserves policy.

**POWER THE FIGHT** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Power The Fight seeks to end violence affecting young people. We are doing this through three clear goals: 

1. No family or young person impacted by violence affecting young people feels alone. 

2. Services for young people, families and the wider community are culturally sensitive and inclusive. 

3. The voices of communities impacted by violence affecting young people are at the centre of policy and programme change. 

In the coming three years Power the Fight is working to roll out the "TIP" model in a number of boroughs across London. Power The Fight expects to be part of significant development of thinking in this area, with the aim of providing culturally sensitive therapeutic services to students, parents / guardians and teachers, and developing an evidence-based model which addresses ongoing poor mental health amongst vulnerable young people, in order to reduce rates of violence affecting young people. 

It is our intention that this model can be scaled up and adapted for implementation across London and potentially across the UK. 

Power the Fight also intends to increase the number of people who access our specialist training through our provision of webinars, online conferences and in-person events. 

We intend to increase our community engagement, which will include but is not limited to reviewing and developing our social media strategy and continuing to deliver high-quality digital resources, and increase our engagement with Government bodies and networks of youth service providers through relationship building and advocacy. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

## **Risk management** 

The charity is exposed to a range of risks. The Trustees refer to Power The Fight's Risk Management Policy to review risks relating to Governance (including strategic and leadership), Operations, Finance, Legal and Regulatory Compliance and External events. When risks are identified, these are assessed and appropriate mitigating actions are taken to minimise or remove risk as far as possible. 

The primary risk faced by Power The Fight is the uncertainty of long-term funding, particularly unrestricted funding. It is acknowledged that institutional funding priorities shift and change, often in line with government policies, and Power  The Fight works hard to secure a diverse range of income to mitigate against these shifts.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

- 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 keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to 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. 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 EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF POWER THE FIGHT** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Power the Fight** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Power the Fight (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 Trust 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

**POWER THE FIGHT** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 'but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'. 

## **GOING CONCERN** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

## **INCOME** 

Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

Income from donations and legacies includes: 

- Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

- Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items). [Goods donated for resale are recognised as income at the point of sale (as the sale proceeds cannot be estimated reliably before the goods are sold)]. Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity. 

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. 

When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised. 

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from advice and training and other events and courses given to educate and empower communities, statutory bodies and others. 

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets and government grants, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable unless they are subject to specified future performance-related conditions in which case they are recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions are met. 

## **EXPENDITURE** 

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure on raising funds comprises the costs incurred on commercial trading activities and fundraising.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **EXPENDITURE** 

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. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are apportioned directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on the basis of percentage of income. 

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. 

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

## **STOCKS** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **TAXATION** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **FUND ACCOUNTING** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. 

## **HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS** 

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
