The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year 13 May 2022 to 12 May 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

LGBT CHARITY UK is a non-profit charity organisation charged with the responsibility of providing support to LGBT projects.
We understand that a lot of people's human rights are trampled upon on a daily basis and therefore make it a point of duty to launch campaigns to raise funds to assist these people.

Significant activities

The trustees will identify areas which require help. Once this has been identified, the trustees will visit the areas to identify what help is required. The trustees will then report back to the other trustees, and discuss and put together an action plan for providing here where required.

Public benefit

The charity aims to help out the general public who have been affected by mental health, rehousing and domestic violence.

Grantmaking

Help will be provided to the needy, no cash will be provided directly. All supplies will be invoiced and paid directly for by the charity. The trustees will visit families to ensure that they have received the help and to ensure that by receiving such help , a difference is made to their lives.

Volunteers

The charity intends to carry all help with activity by the trustees. The charity will avoid distributing cash directly. Food will be purchased by the trustees and distributed by the trustees. Counselling and education fees will be paid directly to the school as well to help if needed. We have volunteers in the shops.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

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

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LGBT CHARITY UK

I report on the accounts for the year 13 May 2022 to 12 May 2023 set out on pages four to eight.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an adult is not required for this period (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosers in the accounts, and seeking explanation from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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 2015)’, 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.

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.

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 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 not been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

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 of particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
