The CEO has given talks on ADHD in Aberdeen and Nice in France for ADHD Europe. The CEO and trustees have visited homeless charities, addiction charities, schools, Prisons and Probations, in an attempt to raise awareness of ADHD. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider Para 1.20 benefits to society as a whole. Many members of the charity attended the Caroline Flack annual festival in aid of mental health charities. The CEO has appeared on numerous podcasts and webinars, written articles for newspapers and magazines and released her third book on helping parents understand their ADHD teenagers. The vast majority of the work the CEO does is unpaid, and she has not taken one penny from the charity. All the work she does to raise awareness is unpaid and she pays for all her own costs. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against objectives set More than expected. The charity’s passion has contributed to the new NHS ADHD task force looking into the amount of ADHD in the criminal justice system. This is something that Charity has pushed for and is seeing great results. The charity has also joined forces with MP Matt Hancock’s Charity, THE ASSISTED LEARNING FOUNDATION Para 1.41 **ADHD LIBERTY** **TRUSTEES' REPORT** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 04 April 2023 who were pushing for dyslexia screening in schools. Due to ADHD Liberty’s campaigning, he has agreed to change his bill in parliament to a bill that covers all neuro divergency rather than just dyslexia. Fundraising - has started with a just giving page. Corporation Tax has already been donated to the charity. There are plans in the year ahead for several fundraising activities. A lot of time has been invested into setting up the charity, getting the right trustees on board, finding the right ambassadors for the charity, and setting everything up, ready to take on much more campaigning work in future. ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s|| |---|---| |financial position at the end of|Para 1.21| |the period|| |Statement explaining the|| |policy for holding reserves|Para 1.22| |stating why they are held|| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22| |Reasons for holding zero|Para 1.22| |reserves|| |Details of fund materially in

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. Independent examiner's statement I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did 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.

**1,378**| The financial statements were approved by the Board on 10-Apr-2024 and signed on its behalf by: Sarah Templeton Chairman **ADHD LIBERTY** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 04 April 2023 ## **1 Accounting Policies** ## **1.1 Accounting Policies** The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows: ## **1.2 Basis of preparation** These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation. These accounts 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)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound. ## **1.3 Going concern** The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting preparing the accounts. ## **1.4 Income from donations or grants** Income from donations and grants is recognised when the charity is entitled to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations, this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal offer is made in writing. If a donation or grant contains terms and conditions outside of the charity’s control which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds, or if the donor specifies that the funds must be used in future time periods, then the income is deferred. ## **1.5 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be estimated reliably. It is inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the charity on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are charged directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. **ADHD LIBERTY** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 04 April 2023 ## **2 Income from Donations and Legacies** |**Analysis**
