## **Achievements and performance**
2021/22 was a significant year for codebar. The major achievements/ milestones were:
1. 200 free workshops and events for our community
2. 2535 - total number of attendances from our free events
3. 4 - New locations running workshop
4. codebar Impact Report
1. 200 free workshops and events for our community
2021/22 saw codebar run 200 workshops and events for our community. We ran a mix of virtual and in-person events. The virtual ones meant that we did not need to find space, we ran them on Zoom and Discord and we able to open them up to all our community members, regardless of their location.
## 2. 2535 - total number of attendances from our free events
Due to all events and workshops ran this year, we were able to open them up to all community members, rather than a specific location, which resulted in bigger attendance numbers, and more people getting access to free resources. Some feedback includes:
I found the codebar workshop looking for initiatives that help women code. I think it was an amazing experience! Thank you very much for the organization and I really thank my coach Max for the help and the tips.
## 3. Several new locations running workshops
During this time period we started 4 new codebar chapters - chapters are typically locations where codebar workshops operate. These were Geneva, Brussels, Delhi as well a new virtual only chapter called Virtual UK.
## 4. codebar Impact Report
We launched our very first Impact Report. This report is a celebration of the impact codebar has had since we started. Can be seen here https://impact-report-22.codebar.io/.
## _Traction to date and where we are going:_
Our charity has proven a great success with minority group members looking for a safe and inclusive environment to learn to code. As of 15 February 2023, 16,893 minority group members have had access to our free workshops and events.
By December 2024 we are aiming to have helped 20,000 minority group members learn to code.

On behalf of the board of trustees Trustee's name : Kimberley Cook Trustee Dated: 01/03/2023
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also directors of Codebar for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Small company provisions**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Codebar.**
I report on the accounts of Codebar for the year ended 30 April 2022 set out on pages 2 to 12.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner**
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance witht the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act").
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Codebar are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for the Independent Examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act"). In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes 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 disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations 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 statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2022**
## **1. Accounting policies**
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.
## **1.1. Basis of accounting**
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **1.2. Cashflow**
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS1 from the requirement to produce a cashflow statement because it is a small charity.
## **1.3. Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
## **1.4. Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management.
