In the financial period ending 31 March 2023 our main activities were: **1** . The Riddell Initiative: a programme of mental health awareness and suicide prevention training for professionals working in the financial services sector. **2** . Giving grants to other charities that work to reduce deaths by suicide and/or improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people. The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what charitable activities the charity should undertake. **Small Grants:** The trustees make discretionary grants of between £5,000 and £25,000 where they believe that their contribution will make a real difference to suicide awareness or mental health and well-being. Applications are only accepted from charities registered in the United Kingdom, with applications from smaller charities particularly encouraged. Applications must be for charitable purposes that fall into one of the categories below: - Programmes and activities that aim to support, maintain and improve the mental health and well-being of young people (from 10 to 23 years old). - Suicide awareness and support programmes. Priority is given to innovative projects. **Large Grants:** Are made at the instigation of the trustees to fund charities which the trustees believe will directly impact our mission to lower the number of deaths by suicide **.** ## **Contribution made by Volunteers** A number of professionals in the financial services sector advocate and fundraise for us. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## **Summary of the Main Achievements** In the financial period ending 31 March 2023 our main achievements were: **1** . The Riddell Initiative - We partnered with Brent, Wandsworth and Westminster MIND and PJT Partners (UK) Ltd for phase 1 of The Riddell Initiative, which consisted of a 1-hour seminar on Suicide Awareness and Prevention. Over 50 of these workshops were run in total, mainly at firms in the debt restructuring industry. **2** . Small Grants - £62,316 of grants were made to nine charities that work to reduce deaths by suicide and/or improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people. **3** . Large Grants – a £500,000 grant was made to James’ Place, a charity that works with men in suicidal crisis, towards their Newcastle Centre. ## **Financial Review** Income for the year was £729,593. Expenditure was £593,104, of which £562,316 related to grant awards and £28,731 was for the Riddell Initiative. £500,500 was received in the year for expenditure in subsequent years and therefore not recognised as income in the period. 4 DAVID RIDDELL MEMORIAL CIO (ChaIrtab￿ IrKortKXa￿1 OrganisatMI TRUSTEES.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern** ## **Basis of Preparation** The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **Assessment of Going Concern** Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ## **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 are virtually certain 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 resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA. ## _**Grants and Donations**_ Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. ## _**Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts**_ Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. ## _**Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants**_ This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered. ## _**Gifts in Kind**_ Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable. ## _**Donated Services and Facilities**_ These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. ## _**Volunteer Help**_ The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts. ## _**Investment Income**_ This is included in the accounts when receivable. ## _**Investment Gains and Losses**_ This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 9 ## **DAVID RIDDELL MEMORIAL CIO** (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE FIRST PERIOD ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** ## **Expenditure and Liabilities** ## _**Liability Recognition**_ Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. ## _**Governance Costs**_ Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. ## _**Grants with Performance Conditions**_ Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. ## _**Grants Payable without Performance Conditions**_ These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity. ## _**Investments**_ Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. ## _**Unrestricted funds**_ These funds can be used for the general objectives of the charity as set out in the trustees report. The movements of the unrestricted funds are given in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## _**Restricted funds**_ These funds are where the donor has specified a purpose for the donation made. These restrictions often arise as a result of appeals for special offerings for specific purposes. ## _**Designated funds**_ These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for particular purposes or projects. ## _**Fixed Assets**_ Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. ## _**Depreciation Expense**_ Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows: Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 25% - Reducing Balance Basis ## **2. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS** The CIO held no fixed assets during this initial financial period. The annual commitments under non-cancelling operating leases and capital commitments are as follows: 31st March 2023 : None 10 ## **DAVID RIDDELL MEMORIAL CIO** (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE FIRST PERIOD ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023** ## **3.

STAFF COSTS AND NUMBERS** The Charity employed no members of staff during this initial financial period. ## **15. PAYMENTS TO TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES** During the financial period the David Riddell Memorial CIO made charitable grants of £15,000 to Didcot TRAIN - Inspiring Young People (Registered Charity Number 1176258) to assist with the rental costs in furthering the Charity's objects. Trustee Nicole Guest is also a Trustee of Didcot TRAIN - Inspiring Young People (Registered Charity Number 1176258) and all conflicts of interest have been identified, documented and managed in accordance with the Charity's Governing Document. No other payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No other material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them. ## **16. RISK ASSESSMENT** The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. ## **17. RESERVES POLICY** The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. ## **18. PUBLIC BENEFIT** The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake. ## **19.
