Chair’s report

During the period the charity has delivered across four different operational activities which are covered in more detail below. First however it is worth noting that there have been several events that have impacted the year and the charity:

Education

The Education department proved its versatility during the Covid lockdowns. Due to the nature of the young people accessing the provision and safeguarding factors to consider, it was vital that services remained available.

The education staff adapted to operate across three platforms with onsite, virtual and home visits all being part of a daily package. Over the course of 2020 the charity worked with 8 secondary schools and 5 primary schools and looked after a total of 29 Key Stage 3 and 4 learners and 7 Key Stage 2 learners. 4 learners completed Yr11 all gaining at least 1 GCSE grade, and all achieved a post 16 option with 3 going to college and 1 starting an apprenticeship. In addition, 9 young people were reintegrated back into mainstream settings and 2 moved to different alternative settings.

Since achieving Ofsted registration, pupil numbers have steadily increased and at the time of writing (October 2021) the school is now full and there is a waiting list.

Skatepark

The Skatepark department started the year with a significant rebuild and enhancement of the skatepark. Also, during the year work was started on the construction of an outdoor skatepark and a new outdoor play area for younger children.

Initially the department worked with over 40 schools to provide a mixture of onsite, offsite, and virtual delivery. There was an average of two onsite school sessions each academic day and this was further enhanced by an average of a further 3 offsite school sessions a week. With an average of 20 learners in each school session this equates to an average of 260 children each academic week. Public use of the

Page 2

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020 Report of the Trustees

skatepark was also high in the early part of the year with an average of 380 people a week accessing public sessions during the academic period rising to more than 600 a week during school breaks.

Unfortunately, school sports delivery and public attendance at the skatepark were materially impacted due to Covid-19 although the position has recovered since the end of lockdown.

The skatepark has also proved to be a focal point for a number of skater lead community groups including: Rolling with the Girl; Wernside DIY; Leeds University Skate Society; Be Good Skates.

Community

This is a new department which was established at the end of 2019 with a focus on building on the success of the offsite school holiday provision called Get Active Camps and the equivalent onsite Get Active Extreme Camps. In addition, the community team increased general offsite delivery in parks and community facilities.

February 2020 half term saw a good uptake of numbers on Get Active Extreme Camps with an average of 16 children a day, up from the previous school break. The Get Active Camps in Seacroft were again successful with 30 children a day (at capacity) and funding completed. During the same school break there were external wheeled sports coaching sessions delivered in 8 parks across Leeds.

Again, the impact of Covid-19 led to a significant reduction in the work that could be carried out by the community team. However, an element was moved to digitally delivery with the coaching content on YouTube being accessed by hundreds of people.

The position had been recovering since the end of lockdown

Café

The charity operates a café which provides food and drink to the pupils and to visitors to the skatepark.

This is a relatively small part of the charity’s operations but started the year positively with an improved model, having gained a license to run events and serve alcohol.

Covid-19 had the biggest impact on the café, and it was closed in March 2020 and remained so throughout the rest of 2020.

Summary and the future

In summary the charity started 2020 with a strong outlook and was trading well across all areas having strengthened its offer from the previous year. Unfortunately, Covid-19 caused significant disruption to the charity’s activities. That said, the charity weathered this difficult period in no small part due to the support measures introduced by the government including the furlough scheme, business rates reduction and government grants. This support enabled those staff that remained operational to continue to support

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020 Report of the Trustees

some of Leeds’s most vulnerable children and keep LS-TEN in the public mind. Despite the disruption, the charity earned net income of over £50,000 in the period and the trustees consider this to be a good result that reflects the hard work and dedication of the LS-TEN team.

The charity started 2021 with improved reserves and a plan to further expand the operations for the benefit of the Leeds community. The effect of the Ofsted registration is reflected in the number of pupils that are now at the school and at the time of writing the school is full and there is a waiting list. The numbers attending the skatepark are also increasing to pre Covid levels and further growth should be achievable once the outdoor skatepark becomes operational. The trustees are pleased with the recovery and the progress that is being made.

Purpose and activities

LS-TEN Limited was established on 7 January 2019 to operate a skatepark and to provide an alternate education provision. Both these activities were undertaken at the company’s premises in Kitson Road Leeds.

The company registered as a charity on the 29 September 2020 and is preparing financial statements for an 11-month period ended 31 December 2020

The objects of the charity are:

  1. To act as a resource for children and young people up to the age of 19 years old living in Leeds, West Yorkshire and surrounding areas by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical activity, educational and other activities by means of:

  2. a. advancing life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals,

  3. b. advancing the education of the pupils of the charity by operating an alternative education provision to support school in Leeds and the surrounding area.

  4. To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity of disability, financial hardship, or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Page 4

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020 Report of the Trustees

  1. To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people who are ex-service personal or ex-offenders from becoming socially excluded because they are unable to reintegrate into mainstream society, in particular by:

  2. a. providing a local network group that encourages and enables ex-service personnel to gain access to other networks and participate more effectively with the wider community;

  3. b. providing a local network group that encourages and enables ex-offenders to gain access to other networks and participate more effectively with the wider community;

  4. c. providing work experience, training and job opportunities to ex-service and ex-offenders.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in its planning activities

Financial Review

The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (published in October 2019).

During the period the charity generated £458,370 of unrestricted income and £16,837 of restricted income to provide a total income of £475,207. Expenditure totalled £424,976, (£408,139 unrestricted and £16,837 restricted), so there was net income of £50,230 which was transferred to reserves. At 31 December 2020 the charity had total funds of £52,448, (31 January 2020: £2,216), all of which were unrestricted.

Reserves policy

At the 31 December 2020 the Trustees undertook a detailed review of the charity’s position and looked forward using the budgets and forecasts for the year to 31 December 2021. The Trustees were satisfied that the charity was sufficiently resourced to be able to continue operating throughout 2021 and beyond.

Since the 31 December 2021, the Trustees continue to review the charity’s financial position at each Board meeting and to look forward using the budgets and forecasts. The Trustees remain satisfied that the charity has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities and to continue to operate.

The Trustees are in the process of developing a formal reserves policy.

Page 5

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020 Report of the Trustees

Going concern

The Trustees have considered the current position and the future prospects of the charity, and it is satisfied that the charity had sufficient resources to continue to operate and to meet its ongoing liabilities.

Since 31 December 2020 there have been further developments that reinforce this position:

The Trustees are satisfied that it is appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Structure, Governance and Management

Appointment of Trustees

The Trustees are appointed by an ordinary resolution of the members of the charity at a general meeting. The minimum number of trustees is one and there is no maximum. At each annual general meeting one third, (or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to one third), must retire. Those with longest service retire first and retiring trustees may be reappointed. There is no maximum period of service for trustees.

Meetings

The Trustees meet regularly to discuss the charity’s strategy and to receive reports on the various operations and also reports on specific areas such as safeguarding and health and safety. The Trustees also agree the budget each year and receive financial reports to enable them to monitor performance against the budget.

In between Board meetings the Chair and other Trustees with specific responsibilities meet with the charity’s senior management team to assess progress. Minutes of these meetings form part of the Board pack at the next Trustees’ meeting.

Policies and Procedures adopted for Induction and Training of Trustees

The Trustees discuss the skills requirements for the trustee group at each Board meeting and undertake a skills audit at least once a year. The recruitment of a new Trustee is informed by the results of the skills audit and is undertaken using a mix of open advertisement, discussions with interested parties and

Page 6

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020

Report of the Trustees

discussions with contacts in other local charities. Individuals who express an interest are required to meet with the Chair and are given the opportunity to visit the charity and to speak with the Chief Executive Officer. A proposal to appoint a trustee is taken to the Board of Trustees for discussion and either approved, (subject to suitable references), or rejected. If the Trustees approve the appointment, then references are sought and circulated to the Trustees for comment before the appointment is made.

Once appointed the newly elected trustee undergoes an induction programme.

The charity keeps up to date with key developments relevant to the charity and its operations. Some of the training is mandatory given the charity’s work with young people and as a school. Training is provided to trustees and a log is kept of what training has been undertaken by each trustee.

Pay policy for senior staff

The senior management team is responsible for the setting the remuneration of employees when they start employment but the Trustees monitor recruitment and remuneration at Board meetings. Thereafter all pay or other remuneration changes are agreed by the Trustees.

The remuneration of the senior management team is the responsibility of the Trustees and is reviewed annually. In setting the pay of the senior management team the Trustees take note of an individual’s performance, the financial position of the charity and the amounts paid to individuals in similar roles outside of the charity.

Risk management

The trustees, in consultation with the senior executive team, have considered the key risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been prepared which enables the trustees to monitor the risks and the mitigating actions that have been put in place to manage these risks. The risk register is reported on and reviewed at each Board meeting.

The charity also has a comprehensive suite of policies and procedures that address specific areas of risk. These policies are regularly reviewed by the senior management and the trustees. Appropriate staff training is provided and recorded, and compliance is monitored.

As with all other organisations the charity had to deal with the impact of Covid-19 during the period and throughout 2021. For periods the charity had to cease or severely limit its operations. During the pandemic the charity took various steps including: reducing costs; furloughing staff; introducing appropriate social distancing and other similar measures.

Fundraising Policy

The charity does not employ a fundraiser and does not engage third parties to fundraise on its behalf. There have been, however, a small number of unsolicited donations from the general public. During the period there have been no complaints regarding the charity’s fundraising activities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of LS-TEN Limited (‘the Company’)

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period ended 31 December 2020.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for 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 report

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

Since the Company’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 England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

Page 9

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of LS-TEN Limited (‘the Company’)

  1. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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.

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020 Notes to the financial statements

1 Accounting policies

Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ (issued in December 2019), FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

LS-TEN Limited obtained charitable status on 29 September 2020 and from this date was required to prepare financial statements under the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’. In accordance with accounting standards the prior year financial statements have been restated to present the results under the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

LS-TEN Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going Concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Reporting period

During the year the directors shortened the period to 31 December 2020, therefore these accounts have been prepared for the 11 month period from 1 February 2020 to 31 December 2020. The comparatives show the 13 month period from to 1 January 2019 to 31 January 2020 and are therefore not entirely comparable.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations and Legacies - These amounts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable unless they include terms and conditions that must be met before the entity is entitled.

Charitable activities - Grants receivable where the income is related to performance and specific deliverables are accounted for as the entity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the entity are recognised when the entity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Where grants are received during the year in respect of future periods, the amount of the grant which relates to future periods is deferred and is included within creditors. Income from education sales and skatepark entry is included within incoming resources in the year the service or visit occurs.

Page 14

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020 Notes to the financial statements

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Other trading activities – Café income, rental income, hire income and other income is recognised in full for activities undertaken during the year. Income relating to activities taking place in the following year received in advance is deferred.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Raising funds - are those costs incurred in seeking voluntary contributions or consultancy income. They do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the charitable activity of awarding grants and project development.

Charitable activities - costs of education activities, the provision of the indoor skatepark and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. The staff and support costs of the charity have been apportioned to the income streams in line with the income levels from each activity.

Other costs - represent those incurred in connection with governance and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and equipment

20% Straight Line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Page 15

LS-TEN Limited For the period ended 31 December 2020 Notes to the financial statements

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Taxation

From 29 September 2020 the charitable company was exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities by virtue of Part 11 of the Corporation Taxes Act 2010. The charitable company is not VAT registered and therefore does not recover any attributable value added tax. Prior to 29 September 2020 the charitable company was subject to corporation tax on its activities and as such recognises a provision for taxation for the period to this date.

Pension costs

Ls-TEN contributes to defined contribution pension schemes including to individual personal pensions. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charged in the statement of financial activities in respect of pension costs are the contributions payable in the year.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the Charity.
