## **BUSINESS2SCHOOLS**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.
## **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 to expand its project portfolio throughout the financial year. With net zero, ESG, sustainability, and climate change becoming increasingly significant topics globally. In the UK, businesses have sought more traceable and accountable solutions for clearances.
The Charity began evaluating the carbon savings of its projects, their value to education, and their biodiversity impact. By creating sustainability reports for businesses donating to schools, Business2Schools highlighted the carbon savings achieved through its initiatives. The focus must shift from offsetting carbon to rehoming items, demonstrating the tangible impact on climate change through reuse rather than recycling.
Over the past financial year, Business2Schools supported more than 500 projects. These ranged from single printer donations to large-scale contributions involving over ten lorry-loads of furniture. The closure or relocation of banks and retail outlets created new opportunities to help schools across the UK. The Charity ensured that donations were rehomed within local community schools, reducing transport-related carbon emissions. While some warehousing and storage solutions were utilised, the majority of donations were transferred directly from businesses to schools, maximising environmental benefits.
Collaborations with commercial removers played a pivotal role in securing significant projects. By preventing furniture from being recycled or sent to landfill, businesses saved an estimated £200 per tonne in commercial waste costs.
The biodiversity impact of these efforts also important to children in school, providing a tangible way to understand the benefits of reuse over recycling. For example, rehoming a single laptop saves 266 kg of CO2, while a Luton van of furniture rehomed prevents 2.5 tonnes of carbon from entering the recycling process. Offsetting this carbon would involve planting 10 trees per laptop, or 96 per medium sized lorry filled with office items. Business2Schools actively promotes the circular economy, ensuring that office infrastructure is reused rather than recycled. This approach not only aids climate change but also delivers social benefits. Schools supported with donated technology and furniture can redirect more funding toward teaching and learning.
In 2023, Business2Schools was a finalist for the BBC Radio Sussex and Surrey Make A Difference Green Award.
During the Ukrainian crisis, the Charity saw an increased demand for laptops. Generous donations from businesses enabled support for schools with refugee children, aiding their English language learning. These contributions proved invaluable, highlighting the ongoing need for technology to assist refugee families in adapting and learning more effectively. Business2Schools continues to support these schools wherever possible.

## **BUSINESS2SCHOOLS**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **Objectives and activities (continued)**
As the world confronts a climate crisis and rising carbon emissions, Business2Schools remains dedicated to transforming classrooms through the circular economy. By demonstrating the value of reusing and rehoming items, the Charity inspires children with simple, impactful ways to address climate change and build a sustainable future.
The letters sent to Business2Schools constantly inspire the work done by everyone involved in the Charity.
## **c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
The economy continues to impact schools where 80% of funding goes into teaching and learning. Schools have no spare budget to upgrade their infrastructure and it is very much done on an as needed or is broken basis. Business2Schools is a refreshing change to schools who enjoy regularly receiving inventories of items businesses are looking to donate.
Schools register with the Charity for free and everything offered to them is free. It is a very traceable solution for businesses looking to measure their ESG and net zero goals.
Volunteers remain integral to the rehoming process, generously contributing their time and support. Our dedicated Trustees actively work to strengthen the charity’s initiatives. To further enhance efficiency, the Charity is exploring ways to automate parts of the rehoming process through reporting software. Schools also play a crucial role, ensuring donated furniture is distributed from their building to other community schools. Primary schools particularly benefit when secondary schools assist in managing larger deliveries and redistributing items.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Main achievements of the Charity**
Throughout 2023/2024, Business2Schools continued to rehome banks where branches continued to donate their furniture to their local communities.
We were again able to assist the Government Property Agency with two of their projects.
The Charity received generous contributions of furniture and tech from high profile businesses such as Allen & Overy, JLL, CBRE, Inside Source, Broadbase. With our removal partners Renovo, Ede’s, Exact Moves, Business Moves Group, Merit Group passing on large projects for the charity to rehome the flow of furniture and tech was consistent and word-of-mouth, becoming a driving force for the Charity where businesses are becoming more mindful of how and what they do with redundant furniture.
Our posts on platforms social media has continued to bring in projects from businesses engaging with the Charity, demonstrating the growing interest and support from the corporate community.
## **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 for rehoming and some fundraising. The Charity has a consistent revenue stream and regular calendar of ongoing projects going forward for 3 – 12 months.
## **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 businesses looking to measure their social impact.
Expenditure is kept low by making the cost of rehoming far less than commercial recycle costs.
The Charity's policies will be reviewed by the Trustees and updated annually.
## **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**

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **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 2024**
## **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 2024.
## **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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.

My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose.

## **BUSINESS2SCHOOLS**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **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.

## **BUSINESS2SCHOOLS**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **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 Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
## **1.6 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.
## **1.7 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 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **1.10 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 and which have not been designated for other purposes.
