TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
To advance the education of pupils across England and Wales by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities (not required to be provided by the local education authority) in particular but not exclusively through former office furniture and IT equipment no longer required by businesses and companies for the benefit of schools.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
Business2Schools continued its exponential growth throughout the last financial year. As more companies sought sustainable alternatives to discarding unwanted furniture and technology, state schools across the UK are a fantastic option for repurposing office infrastructure.
The Charity expanded its partnerships, welcoming more removal and clearance firms eager to refer their clients office moves through the Charity.
Engagement with Business2Schools continues to grow due to the focus on the circular economy and ESG principles. Repurposing office infrastructure significantly aids schools, whose funding is prioritised for teaching and learning.
Over the previous financial year, Business2Schools completed more than 160 projects. The commitment was directed to ensure where possible donations of furniture and tech reached schools in close proximity to each donation minimising additional carbon emissions from transportation, also working to ensure that deliveries were made in full lorry loads. Furthermore, over 75+ branches of high street banks donated their furniture and tech to local schools, bolstering community support.
In a significant milestone, the Charity undertook its first Government project, partnering with the Government Property Agency. Remarkably, GPA repurposed 70% of their surplus furniture, slashing over 20 tonnes of carbon emissions. This reduction in recycling costs also conserved around £25,000 in public funds.
To understand the impact of the digital divide, Business2Schools undertook case studies in six selected schools, focusing on providing as many if not every pupil with a laptop and access to technology. This data aims to encourage more firms to donate their redundant tech, knowing that each donated laptop saves 220 kg/CO2. Notably, these laptops from businesses are 3-5 years old, contrasting with schools upgrading their technology every 10 years.
Efforts to streamline the furniture re-homing system paid off, with the Charity supporting over 500 projects in the year 2022-2023.
The enhanced sustainability reporting vividly demonstrates the carbon emission savings of each donation. Bypassing the recycling process and directly delivering items to schools magnifies the impact.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Objectives and activities (continued)
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
The Charity's growth and popularity among firms seeking sustainable solutions for office moves, refurbishments, and closures prevented thousands of items from heading to recycling or landfill. This benefits both businesses, economising on landfill and recycle costs while aligning with ESG and climate change objectives, and schools, preserving their infrastructure budgets for teaching and learning.
In moments of crisis, Business2Schools stepped up. A flooded school in March 2023 found support in replacing all lost furniture and tech. Schools trying to fundraise or address situations with stolen laptops received devices from businesses, free of charge.
While the volume of laptop donations reduced post-lockdown, the Charity remains steadfast in encouraging firms to continue donating to bridge the digital divide and combat digital poverty among almost 5000 registered schools in England and Wales.
During the Ukrainian crisis, the Charity received an influx of laptop requests. Generous donations from businesses enabled support for schools with refugee children, facilitating their English language learning. These contributions proved invaluable.
Our vision is to ensure every child in schools, both in the UK has uninterrupted access to online learning at home and at school throughout their education. Digital technology is essential for everyday life, and every pupil deserves this access.
As the world faces a climate crisis and unnecessary carbon emissions, Business2Schools is committed to shaping classrooms supported by the circular economy, revolutionising the learning landscape and showing children in the most tangible way the simple ways passing on the things we no longer need, so they can be rehomed and reused is a great way to impact climate change for the future.
The economic crisis continues to cast a shadow on small charities, with minimal public funding available. Business2Schools depends on contributions from businesses to facilitate the re-homing of their surplus items.
Although Business2Schools operates nationally, its impact resonates deeply within each community. The Mayor of Chichester selected Business2Schools as one of the supported charities during his term of office.
Volunteers play a pivotal role in our re-homing process, generously offering their time and support. Our proactive Trustees are actively engaged in bolstering the Charity's initiatives.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
Throughout 2022-2023, Business2Schools efforts resulted in successfully rehoming over 75+ high street banks, marking a significant achievement for the charity.
We were able to assist the Government Property Agency with their clearances, with an outlook on a long-term partnership.
The Charity received generous contributions of furniture and tech from high profile businesses such as Legal & General, Allen & Overy, JLL, Sony Music, SMBC, Selfridges, Birmingham City Council, Magnox, Knight Frank, CBRE, and donations from leading universities including LSE, Reading, Leeds Beckett, and Wolverhampton. The diverse array of companies, regardless of their scale or location, reaching out to the Charity speaks volumes about the organic growth fostered by word-of-mouth, becoming a driving force for the charity.
Our presence on platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter sparked an influx of businesses engaging with the Charity, demonstrating the growing interest and support from the corporate community.
Repeated engagement from companies such as Freshfields, JLL, BBC, HSBC, Lloyds, Chaucer, Capita, and others, returning months later with additional donations collected from their offices, reaffirms that re-homing has become an ingrained choice with some businesses.
The Charity engaged two additional Trustees, both with backgrounds in education, to assist with how the Charity has grown making sure Business2Schools has a broader representation among the Trustees.
Sustainability data became really important to measuring the benefits of the Charity. 2.5 tonnes of donated furniture equate to enough carbon savings to heat a house for a year, while a single donated laptop offsets carbon emissions equivalent to planting 10 trees annually. These profound carbon savings through Business2Schools significantly impact biodiversity, contributing positively to climate change and the environment.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The Charity is funded by business donations and fundraising. The policy of reserves is to be in credit at all times and keep overheads to an absolute minimum. The Charity did not take advantage of any Covid-19 relief or bounce back packages but put greater emphasis on bringing in corporate donations from businesses whose furniture was being moved.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
c. Principal funding
Businesses are the principal supporters of the Charity. The charity is one of the best measures of ESG so we are well supported by the financial services industry.
Expenditure is kept to the minimum and we rely heavily on volunteers or freelance support.
The Charity policies will be reviewed by the Trustees in 2023/24.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
Business2Schools is a registered charity, number 1185674, and is constituted under a Trust deed.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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. 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 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Business2Schools ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity 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 2011 ('the 2011 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

BUSINESS2SCHOOLS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Business2Schools meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 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.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
1.3 Expenditure
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. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated 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 a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible 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.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Website costs - 5 years
1.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.6 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.
1.7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1.8 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
