Governance and management
The charity is operated under the rules of its CIO Association adopted 28-022022.
Trustees are voted in at a committee meeting and agree to serve and adopt all the charity policies and procedures.
Objectives and activities
The object of the CIO is to advance the education of the public (and in particular but not exclusively children and young people) in topics related to digital competency including coding and computational thinking and by providing and enabling active educational and technological activities to enable them to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities.
Summaries of the activities undertaken and public benefit
Digit
community workshops, teacher and community leader training, provision of contextual digital resources, grants and awards. Children benefit either directly through the work of the staff, ambassadors, volunteers or indirectly through the upskilling of their youth, community leader or teacher.
Summary of the main achievements during this period
The charity has developed a strong network with schools and community groups, has provided summer camps and a significant amount of teacher training. This has ensured that young people from areas of high deprivation have had access to future digital skills training. The reach and impact of this work has grown significantly during this period, and the charity was recently shortlisted as national small charity of the year as a result.
The charity’s policy on reserves
The charity has kept a reserve of 4 months of wages for staff in case required. With a significant amount of bids submitted during this period, the charity is expecting significant growth moving forward.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: Offsetting Grants and donations Legacies Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. |

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Digit (Charity no 1198086).
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and 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 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 the 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
As the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants which is one of the listed bodies.
(1) In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which give 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 the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Report) Regulation 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of independent examination.
(2) 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.
