## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2023** 

Liberty Jamboree follows a structured process for the election and appointment of trustees, in line with our governing documents. Trustees are elected by the membership during the Annual General Meeting (AGM), with elections held every three years. The process is open and transparent, allowing all eligible members to nominate and vote for candidates who will serve on the board. The election is conducted by a majority vote, ensuring that trustees are chosen democratically. The charity's constitution outlines the eligibility criteria for trustees, the nomination process, and the terms of office. If any vacancies arise between AGMs, they may be filled by co-option, subject to approval by the board. In addition to the membership-based election process, no external bodies or individuals are entitled to appoint trustees. This ensures that the governance of Liberty Jamboree remains fully accountable to its members. 

## **Future plans** 

Liberty Jamboree's strategy for 2024 focuses on: 

- Expanding successful programs like Football/Sports and Liberteens to reach more participants. 

- Strengthening financial sustainability by diversifying income streams. 

- Enhancing infrastructure and digital resources for improved service delivery. 

- Employment Initiatives : Expand job coaching and develop partnerships with organisations like NatWest and Barchester Home. 

- New Programs: Launch the COMETS football team and additional targeted youth clubs. 

- Health Campaigns : Tackle health challenges through innovative fitness programs 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Trust's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. 

In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation. 

## **Acknowledgements** 

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend sincere thanks to: 

- Funders and donors for their generosity. 

- Staff and volunteers for their dedication and passion. 

- Community partners for their collaboration and support. 

Together, we have made a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Liberty Jamboree** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Liberty Jamboree** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Liberty Jamboree (the Trust) for the year ended 31 October 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.

**Liberty Jamboree** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 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. 

These accounts along with the comparative figures have been revised owing to an adoption of accrual accounting and previously incorrect classification of restricted funds. These revised accounts replace the original annual accounts for the financial year 31 October 2023 and have been prepared as at the date of the original annual accounts and not as at the date of revision and therefore do not deal with events between those dates. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Grants** 

Grants are recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable unless future performance-related conditions are specified that have not been met. Grants received before the income recognition criteria are satisfied are recognised as a liability. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 inclusive of VAT is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

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

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Motor vehicles - 20% on cost 

No depreciation is charged until an asset is brought into use. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
