## Structure, Governance and Management 

The Board of Trustees meets approximately every two months to oversee the organisation, with more regular oversight of the finances being undertaken by the Treasurer, Mr J Daykin and the Safeguarding Trustee role undertaken by Ms G Stevens, with Ms H Goodall taking over following Ms G Stevens’ resignation. Ms H Goodall has also undertaken the role of staff liaison Trustee. We are grateful to the contribution of Mr T O’Leary for his contribution as a Trustee, as he stepped down to undertake ordination training in the Church of England. 

Day to day running of the trust is delegated to the Operations Director and Head of Education, Mr A Macauly. 

## Overview 

This has been a positive year with strong growth in both our schools work and community youth work.  We saw significant demand for our youth work support, both through schools referrals and our open access youth work. We have worked with over 620 young people this year. In order to meet this increase in need,  we have taken on 2 new sessional staff. We have also, jointly   with Parish of West Cheltenham recruited a new  worker to develop our Elevate project, supporting the primarysecondary transition with a Christian values inspired approach.  We developed an additional partnership with Fresh Hope, who run a Community  Pantry from the Rock.  The Rock was nominated for a number of awards at The No Child Left Behind Awards in 2023, winning the #FunandFulfilment Award for our ‘Inspire’ confidence building groups. The Rock has continued its commitment to longterm support for young people through its 13[th] year (formally as @The Rock, a Charitable Trust), choosing to use some of its reserves in challenging financial times to ensure the continuity of support for young people.

## **Accounting policies** 

## _For the year to 31 August 2023_ 

The financial statements have been prepared 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

The Rock 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 note. 

The principal accounting policies adopted are as follows: 

## Basis of accounting 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments. There has been no change in the accounting policies (valuation rules and methods of accounting) since last year. 

## Incoming resources 

Donations are recognised when received.  Legacies are recognised when there is reasonable certainty as to both entitlement and amount.  Grants are generally included in the financial statements when received, to ensure that there is reasonable certainty as to both entitlement and amount.  However, in cases where the grant relates to a specific project, it is recognised when the project expenditure takes place.  Interest and dividends are included in the financial statements when received.  Contractual income is recognised once the contracted services have been delivered. 

## Resources expended 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.  Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

## Depreciation 

Depreciation on equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis at annual rates estimated to write off the assets over their respective expected useful lives, as follows: 

|Office, IT & AV equipment|3 years|Telephone equipment|3 years|
|---|---|---|---|
|Vehicles|3 years|Office furniture|3 years|
|Skate park equipment|5 years|Property improvements|5 years|



Small items are expensed rather than held as an asset and depreciated on the grounds of materiality.
