Financial Review

Our Living Archive Limited became a registered charity in August 2024 and we changed our financial year end with Companies House to 31[st ] March 2025. The financial statements are for the 18 months to 31[st ] March 2025 with the comparative period being the 12 months to 30[th ] September 2023.

The comparator figures for 1st October 2022 to 30th September 2023 refer to business that related to The Triple Cripples Limited. The assets and liabilities of The Triple Cripples at 30th September 2023 were transferred to Our Living Archives Limited at that date.

Income in the 18 months to 31[st ] March 2025 amounted to £45,825 (2023: £20,588) with £45,000 (2023: £nil) relating to restricted income funds and £825 (2023: £20,588) unrestricted income funds.

Expenditure in the period amounted to £13,669 (2023: £25,214) of which £12,844 (2023: £nil) related to restricted income funds and £825 (2023 £25,214) unrestricted income

funds.

At 31[st ] March 2025 the reserves of the charity amounted to £32,156 of restricted funds.

The charity currently has no staff and the costs of the charity for the next 12 months are supported by grant funding carried forward to and received in 2025/26. The trustees therefore do not require a general fund reserve from unrestricted income.

The trustees are confident that the charity is continuing as a going concern and there are no uncertainties about funding currently.

The charity’s principal sources of funds is currently from grant funding through Baobab Foundation and Trust For London.

To the Trustees of Our Living Archives Limited

I report on the accounts of Our Living Archives Limited for the 18 months to 31[st ] March 2025 which are set out on the following pages.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Our Living Archives Limited

Notes to the financial statements for the 18 months to 31st March 2025

1 Statutory information

The charitable company’s registered office address is 3rd Floor, 86-90 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NE. The registered office is the principal place of business. The functional currency is sterling.

Prior to Our Living Archives Limited, the company number was registered to The Triple Cripples Limited which traded from 15th September 2021 - 8th March 2024 when the name was changed to Our Living Archives Limited. The comparator figures for 1st October 2022 to 30th September 2023 refer to business that related to The Triple Cripples Limited. The assets and liabilities of The Triple Cripples at 30th September 2023 were transferred to Our Living Archives Limited at that date.

2 Accounting Policies

A 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), (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Our Living Archives meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). There are no material uncertainties about Our Living Archives' ability to continue as a going concern and no sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date.

B Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

C Gifts/intangible income

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

Our Living Archives Limited

Notes to the financial statements for the 18 months to 31st March 2025: continued

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

D Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor and expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. The project year may not match with the financial year of OLA and so there may be a mismatch in the recognition of income and expenditure for these projects. Restricted fund income is recognised in the financial year that the income is received however restricted fund expenditure is recognised in the financial year in which the expenditure is incurred. Any surplus on restricted funds represents monies to be spent in future financial years.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

E Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis with the irrecoverable element of VAT included with the item to which it relates and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.

F Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

G Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

The charity does not have a material holding in complex financial instruments.

H Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
