## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Charity for the year ended 30 September 2023.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
_Charity Commision guidance on public benefi_ t
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
The Truants as a fundraising group was formed by Chairman Rod Smallwood in 2010. The charity became a Foundation and was registered with The Charities Commission on 23 September 2020.
## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives**
The objectives of the Charity are to provide relief to children who are in need as a result of ill health, poverty or financial hardship and for the preservation of life and promotion of good health and welfare of people in any part of the world by the provision of financial assistance.
The objectives include but are not limited to supporting four major charities through various fundraising events including international and UK Cycle Rides, Dinner Events, Online Auctions and an Annual Golf Day.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **Objectives and activities (continued)**
## **c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
In the last 12 months (from October 2022 - September 2023), several activities were undertaken by the Charity.
Money raised from the Golf Day on 30 September 2022 totalling £44,000 was donated to Childline/NSPCC and Teenage Cancer Trust.
The Truants ride to Argentina, which took place in January 2023, saw a gang of 32 riders making their way from Buenos Aires, into Uruguay for the first international (yes- Scotland is part of the UK still) ride since the pandemic. £352,305 was raised for Nordoff & Robbins, Teenage Cancer Trust and Childline/NSPCC. Separately, the inclusion of two riders from Germany meant that an additional £18,000 was donated by them directly to Save The Children Germany.
Communication with the four charities is growing stronger year on year : Nordoff & Robbins sent a music therapist along on our HMT 11 ride, NSPCC’s Special Adviser – Child Safety Online Taskforce- Michael McGrath joined the HMT ride for the final day, and Save The Children had a number of volunteers along the route for HMT 11 to cheer on the riders.
Heavy Metal Truants 11th ride- "Go Up To 11" - saw a slight change of route which included a visit to the Marshall Amps studio. The link between music and our charity remains at the forefront of our minds.
As part of the Heavy Metal Truants fundraising, in collaboration with Andy Copping at Live Nation, the Download 20 Auction took place online and brought in, and raised £46,589, and increased our visibility via multiple high-profile donors from various metal and rock bands who have all headlined Download at some point in the last 20 years. The ride itself raised £102,974 which rounded our yearly HMT fundraising to £149,563.
The EMMA-Live platform provided the tools for the Download 20 auction and not only made visibility easier online, but saved a huge amount of time in chasing payments and administration. We will continue with the yearly subscription to this platform.
Alexander Milas – Trustee, generated a new relationship with gaming media company Liquid Crimson. Their skill in content creation and social media management helped not only the Heavy Metal Truants 11 ride, but also the Download 20 Auction. It was decided that a stipend of £5,000 plus VAT would be paid to them annually from December 2023 for their time and dedication to growing The Heavy Metal Truants brand. This was agreed on 29 August 2023 by the Trustees.
As part of this relationship, Heavy Metal Truants were invited to be part of the Guildford Games Festival where games companies donated raffle prizes and funds raised at this event formed part of the HMT fundraising campaign. This blossoming partnership has the opportunity to widen the audience of Heavy Metal Truants to include the gaming community.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Truants Foundation ('the Charity')**
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I 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.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **THE TRUANTS FOUNDATION**
## **1. General information**
The principal objectives of the Charity are to provide relief to children who are in need as a result of ill health, poverty or financial hardship and for the preservation of life and promotion of the good health and welfare of people in any part of the world by the provision of financial assistance.
The Truants Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), with charity registration number 1191441. The address of the principal office of the Charity is Matrix Studios, 91 Peterborough Road, London, SW6 3BU.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Truants Foundation 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.
The Charity's functional and presentational currency is pound sterling.
## **2.2 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
## **2.3 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved 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 activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis 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 asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

**THE TRUANTS FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.4 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.5 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-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.
## **2.6 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
## **2.7 Financial instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **2.8 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
