Values Educatlon for Life ao Report of the Trustees For the period ended 30 November 2023 The Trustees present their statement for the period. Keresley College: It was the Trustees intention to hand back the Keresley College buildin& which was leased. three months after informing Warwick5hire County Council of our intention to do so. The Authority was informed of our decision by the end ofjuly 2022, with a proposed hand over date of 315t Ortober. Once clearance of the contents of the building commenced, it was obvious that it would take longer than we had originalfy anticipated. Eventually. the hand over date was agreed as 9th December. A large amount of the educational resources were donated io a number of educational establlshments. We were also able to donate a substantial quantitiy of the furniture to local Schools. Even so. there was a considerable number of items that remained. It was eventually decided that the only reaSi5tic way to get rid of the rernainder of the items was to engage a licensed clearance firm to complete the task. The building was eventually cleared by the 6th December 2022 and it was fomially handed over to the owners on the 9th December. During September, the authority arranged for the premises to be surveyed prior to our leaving. We also en8a8ed the firm of suNeyors who had conducted a survey of the building on our behalf before we entered into a lease with Warwlckshire County Council. to conduct a survey on our behalf. We received a Dilapidation Report from WCC'S Surveyors during February 2023 which indicated thal WCC expected the charity to pay for the suggested dilapidations. The Trustees placed the matter in the hands of our surveyors. who responded to the report on the 2nd March. Other than a conflrmation of receipt nothing further was heard until August. when we received a further copy of the Dilapidation Report, this time from WCC'S Legal Services. This was again sent to our surveyors who agaln responded on our behalf. They again received an acknowledgement for this communication. No further contact has been received. The Trustees are puzzled over the lack of communication from WCC as they have not refused to pay for any necessary work that they may be responsib for. All they have requested. through our agent. is an accurate assessment of the dilapidations thot occurred during their occupancy, based on the 5tste of the building when they took it over. They also pointed out that a large amount of the dilapidations listed in the report were not. accordin8 to the lease that they signed, their responsibility. They are still waiting for Warwickshire County Council to respond to the letters that have been sent. Bulldln8 Better Opportiinltles: At the start of this financial year, there wa5 only four months remaining of this project, as it was due to complete at the end of March 2023. Young people between the ages of 16 to 181 or if disabled, to 251 who were Not in Education, Training or Employment were helped by providing training programs to improve their life skills, personal confidence and self-esteem. They were also encouraged to apply for either jobs or for training courses related to the type of job that they were interested in. Despite there only being four months of the project left, the staff continued to deal with the young people who had been referred. They also set up a number of new training courses which v offered to all other providers to advert15e to their cohort of students. By the time the end of March arrived. a5 the charity had not had any success With new fundin& the staff running the project did not have their contracts renewed. The Trustees would like to thank all the staff employed on the BBO project for all their hard work over the period that BBO has been running. They worked well as a team and despite the disruption caused by the pandemic, they continued to support all the young people who were referred to the best of their ability. Their hard work and professionalism was Page 3

Wa1(kshre Police and Crime Commissioner. CceSS for All Shortly after the ending of the BBO project. the Trustees were infomied that a bid for fuTrdin8 from the WP&CC, made by the Chair of Trustees, had been successful. The project narned 'Success for 1, was funded by a grant of just under £15,000 and would last for a year. It will operate in collaboration with local community groups, social 5eryices, other local government agencies and voluntary organisation5 to provide a local "voice" to encourage residents to identify specific needs which will help reduce anti-social behaviour, violence and crime in their neighbourhood and focus on support for those young people who are most at risk of entering a life of crirne and possible related violence. The project addsseS the needs of younE people who have been Identified as being at hlgh rlsk of education and social exclusion as a result of anti social behaviour and involvement in gangs. leading to criminal attivity, including acts of criminal or domestic violen. This targeted pro8am and activities are aimed at diverting children and young people away from crime and anti-social behaviour with an emphasis on reduting and preventin8 knife and other violent crime. It also works to reduce substance abuse of all kind5 and the detrimental effett that this has on their local communitv, together wrth intervention to reduce offending and reoffendin8. General C0Tr51deratlons for the fUre It is recognised by the Trustees that future developments may be inhibited by a lack of a central support team at the core of the activltle5 of the charity. As part of the effort to Improve the situation, the Trustees have engaged a fund- raiser to generate Income to address the problem that they face in terms of lack of a support team. They recognise that this will be a lon8 term project, but anticipate that if the fund-raiser is successful, then it will be posslble to employ secretarial and financial staff to SUPPOrt the work of the Trustees and develop the work of the charlty.

Values Educatlon for Llfe CIO Report of the Trustees For the perlod ended 30 November 2023 Flnanclal Revlew a. Going concern After making appropriate enquiries. the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the Boing concern basis in preparin8 financial statements. b. Reserve pollcv All non restricted funds which are received by the CIO are spent on the projects that the CIO is undertaking: any left at the end of the financial year are carried forward for use in the new financial year. All restricted funds are used on the projects that the funds were obtained for. A8ain where a project is running over more than one financial year, these funds are carried over into the new financial year. The Trustees have declared the balance of the money te1Ved from the sale of College House as a restricted asset, the income from which will be used to support the projects that we are runnin8 and also to extend the work that we are currently doin8. The Trustees have examlned the CIO'S requirementsfor SerVeS In the lighi of the main risks to the organisation. It Is the Trustee's policy to maintaln sufflcient reserves to finance the day to day running of the CIO for a period of approximately 12 rnonths. The unTestricted reserrfes of the CIO at 30 November 2023 amounted to £89.313 and will be sufficient to support the CIO in the immediate futu. The Trustees have reviewed the major intemal and external risks to which the CIO15 exposed and systems have been establlshed to mitigate those risks. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the CIO. c. Materlal Investments polky The investment portfolio is monaged on a discretionary basis in line with the Trustee Ethical Policy statements. The value ofthe investment portfolio at 30 Novernber2023 was £75.027.The perfomiance of the funds is monitored on re8ular basis. d. Flnanclal rlsk management obJe¢tlves •nd polldes Cashflow rlsk The CIO'S actlvltles expose It primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. Credlt rlsk The CIO'S principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and Investments. The CIIYS credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade re1vableS. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowan for impaimient is made where there is an Identif loss event which, based on previous experience. is evidence of a redurtion in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The CIO ha5 no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of Page 6

Llquldlty rfsk In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available foT ongoing operations and future developments, the CIO uses a mixture of lon8-temi bank accounts and investments. Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the statement of accounting lIcIeS in the financial statements. e. Flnanclal oveThlew The Closure ot Keresley College has resulted in a large reduction in the income of the Charity, but also in a large drop in the expenditure. At the start of the financial year the CIO had £101,805 avallable for use on its work. Thls conslsted of £73,628 in fixed assets linvestmentsl and £28,177 in current assets (cash in the bank). This takes into account the amount set aside for creditors, the bulk of which is the amount1£59,2401 that Warwickshire County Council are suggestlng that the Charity pay for dilapidations to the building used for Keresley College. During the financial year the CIO received income of £22.751. This con5i5ted of £21.816 received in 8rants- £7,740 for the BBO project and £14,076 from the Warwickshire Police and Crime Commi5sionerfor the Success for All project. The Investment account over the year increased in value by £1,398. A further £685 was received in bank interest. Finally £250 was received in donatlons whlch represented gifts from organisations and individuals who had benefltted by receiving items from Keresley College. The expenditure during the financlal year amounted to £36.641. This comprised £13,126 on the'BBO project,, £7,004 on the 'Success for All, project funded by the WP&CC. The balance of £16,511 was spent on the Chaflty's runnin8 Costs. This years excess of expenditure over income1£12,492} was taken from the reserves, which at the end of the year stood at £89,313,. This takes into account the amount set aside for creditors. The Trustees have appointed a part-time fundraiser with the aim that funds can be raised to cover the fixed outgoings of the charity a5 well as bringing in sufficient funds to meet the costs of employing staff to cover the secretarial and financial work of the charity.

The address of the registered office is given on the CIO inforn)ation page of the financial statements. The primary objectives of the CIO are set out in the Trustee'5 report. 2 Accountlng pollcles 2.1 Basls of preparatlon of financlal statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021- Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practlce appllcable io charitie5 preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 1021 (effective I January 20191 the Financial Reportin8 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared to 8ive a 'true and fairf view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fairf view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP IFRS 102) published in Ortober 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charltles.. Statement of Recommended Practi effective from l Aprll 2ts)S which ha$ Since been withdrawn. Values Education for Ufe meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabillties are initially recognlsed at hlstorlcal cost or transaction value unless otheThilse stated In the relevant accounting policy. 2.2 Goln8 concern After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to contlnue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this aSOn, they continue io adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 2.3 Income All Income is recognised once the CIO has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be recebved and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The recognstion of income from legacies is dependant on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entrtlement to a legacy exists when the CIO has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them Ithrou8h knowled8e of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Recelpt of a legacy must be recognlsed when It is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount reivable. which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distrlbuted to the CIO. can be reliably measured. Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable bas15. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant fund5 on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its reco8nition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. Page 13

Expenditure is classified by activity- The costs of each artivity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs invofved 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 artivity are aPFK)rtioned between those activities on a ba515 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 assets use. Expendlture on charltable artlvttles Is Incurred on dlrectly undertaking the actrrfities which further the CIO'S objertives, as well as any support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Interest recelvable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receNable and the amount can be measured reliably by the CIO,. this Is normally upon notlflcatlon of the Interest pald or payable by the Instltutlon wlth whom the funds are deposited. 2.6 Talon The CIO is consldered to pass the tests set out In Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the CIO is Potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital Bains receNed within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Att 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxatron of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such Income or gains are applied exclusiveW to charitable purposes. 2.7 Investments Flxed asset Investments are a form of financial instmment and are initialty recogni5ed at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date. unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment Bains a1 losses, whether reallsed or unrealised are combined and presented as Gain51lLossesl on Investmen in the Statement of financial activities. 2.8 Debtors Trade and other debtor5 are recognised at the settlement arnount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 2.9 Cash at bank and In hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and 5hort-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.
