From:
October 2021 Period start date, To January 31st 2023 Period end date.
Charity name: The Jump
Charity registration number: 1196196
Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To promote, for the public benefit, the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment, in particular, but not exclusively, by providing the public with information and guidance about individual lifestyle changes that can be made to prevent or reduce climate change and encouraging and supporting them to make their own lifestyle changes to help prevent or reduce climate change, including through the use of practical tools. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 | We have a powerful, two-pronged approach to inspiring citizens and communities to ‘take The JUMP’ and form a movement: 1) Local projects: Targeted outreach in specific locations to achieve high JUMP uptake by citizens, business, civil society, and local government, all in one place. These ‘community JUMPs’ will offer proof of principle and sources of practical & visual inspiration. They are co-developed with local community voices and leaders and start with local plan co-creation, then events, buddy groups, street fairs, grief sharing, JUMP citizen assemblies and other ways of engaging and connecting people on the ground. Current projects are underway in Surrey, with community JUMPs in Guildford and Godalming, Bristol with a focus on local business JUMPs, and Leeds with a focus on marginalised groups, including low income and BIPOC communities. 2) Digital movement building: General outreach and promotion to catalyse a digitally connected emerging movement across the target demographic in the UK, and eventually |
| Europe and North America. Building on our strong message, ethos and brand style to undertake targeted campaigns across social media, press, blogs, and events. Combined with online influencer & supporter outreach with organic social activation (people, not ad placement!), The JUMP is inspiring a visible and active cohort of citizens and communities to sign up to ‘taking The JUMP’, wherever they live. By connecting JUMPers online and unlocking and broadcasting their journeys and stories we will debunk consumerist narratives, replacing them with better ones. Together these two prongs create an international network of JUMP ambassadors, both on the ground and online, who are supported to inspire and recruit others, leading to a self-sustaining movement. The populations that are specifically being targeted by The JUMP are the 25% in typical high consuming countries, who are increasingly open to climate action and must now be activated if any cultural shift is to happen, as identified in research: https://climateoutreach.org/reports/britain-talks -climate/. This is Civic pragmatists, (13% in UK) who want to engage but feel helpless, progressive views but not political, and to a lesser extent established liberals, (12% of UK) high consumption and wealth, prioritise taking personal responsibility and are moderately concerned about climate change. The JUMP is designed to engage these groups by remaining positive, practical and avoiding party politics. |

THE JUMP TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
Objectives and activities (continued)
By connecting JUMPers online and unlocking and broadcasting their journeys and stories we will debunk consumerist narratives, replacing them with better ones.
Together these two prongs create an international network of JUMP ambassadors, both on the ground and online, who are supported to inspire and recruit others, leading to a self-sustaining movement. The populations that are specifically being targeted by The JUMP are the 25% in typical high consuming countries, who are increasingly open to climate action and must now be activated if any cultural shift is to happen, as identified in research: https://climateoutreach.org/reports/britain-talks-climate/. This is Civic pragmatists, (13% in UK) who want to engage but feel helpless, progressive views but not political, and to a lesser extent established liberals, (12% of UK) high consumption and wealth, prioritise taking personal responsibility and are moderately concerned about climate change. The JUMP is designed to engage these groups by remaining positive, practical and avoiding party politics.
Achievements and performance
Since the charity was incorporated on 19 October 2021, it has achieved the following:
-
15 local communities have pledged to 'Take the Jump’ across the UK, providing mutual support for citizens and local groups taking the JUMP in each area.
-
3,500 people have signed up and taken the JUMP.
-
A digital community platform, (hub.takethejump.org) and community toolkits have been created and made available for individuals and groups around the UK.
-
Several interactive one-day events, including workshops, music, games, crafts and more, promoting The JUMP lifestyle shifts have taken place in local communities across the country, such as in Guildford Cathedral, Battersea Arts Centre, Guildford Climate Emergency Centre, Leeds City Centre and Margate.
-
Several long-term community campaigns have taken place in local communities across the country. In Woking; events, talks, showcases and other activities related to taking The JUMP were put on for 6 weeks in the Summer of 2022.
Financial review
During the period the charity received donations totalling £104,540 and bank interest of £38. The charity expended funds totalling £48,746 resulting in an overall surplus for the year of £55,832. As a result, unrestricted funds carried forward for the charity total £55,832. This is considered to be sufficient to cover the charity's working capital.
Reserves policy
Reserves are held for operational purposes. We hold three months of operational reserves for core operations. The Jump’s reserves policy stipulates that the cash and reserves position is to be sufficient to cover a minimum of 3 months' operating costs and to enable the charity to develop new initiatives in support of its charitable objects.

THE JUMP
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The trustees have to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity 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 in the Charities SORP (FRS 102)
-
Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the CIO 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 TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JUMP
I report on the accounts of The Jump for the period ended 31 January 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity's trustees have prepared the charity's accounts in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice '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) issued in October 2019 in preference to the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005)' issued in April 2005 which is referred to in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 but has been withdrawn. I understand that the charity's trustees have done this in order for the charity's accounts to give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. 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, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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 comparison of the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charity. 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 REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JUMP
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011;
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records; and
-
to comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE JUMP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Charities Act 2011.
Please refer to the Company Information page for the registration numbers, address of the principal office and the names of the Trustees who served during the year.
The accounts have been prepared for the period from incorporation on 19 October 2021 to 31 January 2023.
1.2 Incoming resources
Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees believe it is probable that they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Investment income
Investment income comprises dividend and interest income from the company’s investments, accounted for on an accruals basis.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
1.3 Expenditure and liabilities
Raising funds
Expenditure incurred directly in the effort to generate funds which are then applied to the charity’s work.
Charitable activities
Expenditure incurred directly in the fulfilment of the charity’s objectives.
1.4 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
Accounting Policies (continued)
1.5 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.
1.6 Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
1.7 Going concern
The Charity is reliant on continued support in the form of fundraising income and donations received. On the basis of this support and the ongoing activities of the Charity, the Trustees are of the opinion that the Charity's activities are able to continue for the foreseeable future, being twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
1.8 Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes laid down by the donor. Expenditure for those purposes is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for expenditure on the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and trade and other creditors.
