THE RENEGADES TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the Period ended 31 August 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and "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).

Objectives and activities

The ambition is to set fire to children’s creative minds and their imaginations. We want to take them to places and do activities with them that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

The purpose of the club is to help develop children up to the age of 18 through providing information and education in a fun way, through leisure opportunities and by actively involving the members in the running of the club, their community and wider society. Now with our own minibus, we are also working hard to counter rural isolation for children who can't easily access transport.

The Values of Renegades

As Renegades we are guided by these values:

Young people first: They are at the heart of everything we do.

Everyone counts: We are inclusive and mutually respectful, honest and loyal. We listen: The club operates from the bottom up, not the top down so that the children have a voice in everything we do.

Inspirational leadership: We have the courage to constantly innovate.

The children members:

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

During the financial period The Renegades has gone from 110 to over 160 registered members, and created a younger club called the Rascals as an experiment in September 2023. It was successful and continues.

The club operates up to four nights a week – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday – and while it has been based at Loxwood, it also roves around the local villages so that rurally isolated children can be included. The club also uses the newly acquired minibus to collect children who have no other means of attending activities. The club also offers canoeing every Sunday morning and swimming at a private pool. From January 2023, The Renegades became free to all members and has remained so (though voluntary subscriptions are accepted).

Thanks to a forthcoming grant from the National Lottery Reaching Communities, the Renegades is now looking to consolidate with the recruitment of employed staff.

THE RENEGADES TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

During the financial period the club has achieved the following activities:

  1. Four sleepover food and film nights

  2. One camping weekend

  3. Three beach days

  4. Begun training 10 members to become archery instructors

  5. Continued film and photography club and increased sessions to two days a week

  6. Continued training all our kids to properly manage and safely canoe, with at least one weekly session in winter and two weekly sessions in summer

  7. Has very active defibrillator program

  8. Has visitied six museums and galleries

  9. Has increased The Renegades membership by around 50%

  10. Now has a program of promoting young youth workers from within our organisation

  11. Introduced a new activity of drone flying which is an option on every club night

Financial review

During the financial year to 31 August 2024 the charity made a surplus of £27,683 (financial period to 31 August 2023: £12,027).

The charity's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the club should income and fundraising activities fall short.

Structure, governance and management

The Renegades is a CIO established under it's rules as published on the website https://www.renegadesyc.org/.

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

M Butler J Steyne (appoined 7 September 2023) A Cash G Miller M Braithwaite V Miller

The Renegades is managed overall by the Executive Committee, the mebers of which are four of the trustees. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.

Three of the trustees also fulfil the roles of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. The fourth is the Youth Club Leader. In addition, the committee is always joined by up to three independent representatives (parent volunteers) who take on the day-to-day reponsibility for specific areas, such as safe guarding. The committee meets every two months.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

THE RENEGADES INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Renegades (the charity) for the Period ended 31 August 2024.

Responsibilites and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic or Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued of 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view

in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I can 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 financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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 ciew 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 financial statements to be reached.

THE RENEGADES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. 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.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity 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.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

1.5 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 are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

THE RENEGADES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUTED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, 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 recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are de recognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

THE RENEGADES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUTED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
