Message from our Chair, March Hancock
This year the Alexandra Rose Charity team have continued to deliver a critical service to those who need help affording fruit and veg to provide their children with a healthy diet.
Since 2014, we have provided Rose Vouchers to over 9,500 families. Whilst we’re proud we can support thousands of families around the country, the enormous difficulties millions face in being able to afford essentials, like fruit and veg, is ever increasing and felt directly by the communities we work within. The cost-of-living crisis and rampant inflation are hitting families with young children hard.
In response, we increased the Rose Voucher entitlement from £3 to £4 per child, helping to boost household food budgets.
We work with 66 local delivery partners, mainly children and family centres in eight local authority areas, who tell us that our Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project is a literal and metaphorical carrot. Rose Vouchers allow families to buy more fruit and veg than they otherwise would be able to, and they enable our partners to regularly engage with families who most need their support, offering help on a wide range of issues.
We take great pride in successfully launching our Fruit & Veg on Prescription Project in October 2022. This initiative has garnered national and international recognition for its innovative approach. Currently being piloted in Tower Hamlets and Lambeth, this project explores the viability of prescribing fruit & veg as a long-term solution to combat diet-related health issues and food insecurity. We’re excited about the possibilities this project holds for transforming lives and impacting public health.
None of these achievements would have been possible without the unwavering commitment and contributions of our local partners, funders, and dedicated supporters. Through their steadfast efforts, we can reach out to individuals and families across the UK, providing assistance during these challenging times.

Trustees’ Report 2022/23
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 2006 (as amended) , present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity, Registration No 211535, is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England No. 00279157, not having a share capital and governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Charity undertook registration with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator on 13 April 2023.

The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees which takes all medium and longer term strategic decisions. Day to day running of the Charity is overseen by the Chief Executive. Together the Trustees are responsible for delivery of the long-term strategy approved by them. The names of the Members of the Board of Trustees are shown on the first page of this report.
The charity carries out regular skills assessments of Trustees and identifies any gaps that may exist. Steps are taken to recruit new Trustees to fill skill gaps when appropriate.
Rasleen Kahai – is a Respiratory Dietician at the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospital Trust and brings a wealth of experience regarding dietary challenges the populations we work with face.
We undertook our latest skills audit in summer 2021. We also undertook a diversity audit of staff and trustees to identify gaps in representation. This process has helped us understand the make-up of our board and the skills and perspectives needed to support the charity and its development over the coming years.
The skill gaps identified include:
Charles Clarke – is Head of Security Architecture at the London Stock Exchange and helps improve the Board's understanding of data management, cyber security and tech development.
Cath Elliston – is Head of Campaigns at Jamie Oliver and brings a wealth of experience in campaigns and advocacy that will support the Charity’s developing advocacy strategy.
- Direct experience of the communities we work with and the challenges they face in accessing a healthy diet A history of successful fundraising and/or knowledge of new fundraising techniques – especially the use of digital tools Understanding of the risks and opportunities around data management, including data protection and cyber security Knowledge of communications, brand/marketing and advocacy and how these can be used to advance the cause of a small charity
Recruitment for new Trustees to meet these skills gaps took place in June & July 2022. Three new Trustees were recruited through this process:
Two trustees of the Charity resigned in September 2022. Adrian Pascu-Tulbure and Ambrita Shahani-Tuckwell. Both joined the Board at a pivotal moment in the Charity’s evolution and helped drive forward the new mission that developed after 2014. The Board would like to express their appreciation for all the hard work and energy that they brought to Charity.
All new Trustees receive a full induction programme following appointment, and they are asked to sign a Trustee Covenant, which the Board have approved. The Honorary Treasurer takes the lead on financial matters, principally accounting, budgeting and management of cash and investments.

Each Trustee appointed (or whose appointment is approved or ratified) by the charity in a General Meeting will have an initial three-year term of office with the option of renewal for a further three years by agreement between the Trustee seeking reappointment and the other Trustees.
Each Trustee must stand down at the first Annual General Meeting held on, or after, the date that the Trustee has served for three or six consecutive years. They may reapply to join the board but must have been absent from the board for a minimum of one year before doing so.
The pay and remuneration of all charity staff, including the charity’s key management personnel, is reviewed on an annual basis by the Finance Sub Committee of the Board of Trustees and then approved formally by the full Board of Trustees. At present, annual pay changes are index linked to the Consumer Prices Index, including Housing (CPIH).

Strategy and Activities
This year we have supported 4,320 families, in eight locations around the UK, giving 8,666 children better access to fruit and veg. This is an increase of over 1,000 families compared to the previous year.
For families in our communities, we have been a constant source of support against increasing food prices. One mum shared, "For people on a low income, Rose Vouchers mean you can still feed your kids. It’s a lifeline."
In the last year we have launched two new projects, bringing the Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project to Tower Hamlets and launching the Fruit & Veg on Prescription Project, also in Tower Hamlets, and in Lambeth.
Our fantastic partners at children and family centres, food pantries, food banks, and other community organisations identify those that will benefit most from our Rose Vouchers and ensure they receive their Rose Vouchers every week.

This year's growth is a result of our successful fundraising campaigns, funding bids and amplified charity profile.
We're immensely proud of the national and international recognition our projects have received this year. Our Fruit & Veg on Prescription Project has been featured in the news in France, USA and Poland as well as BBC News, The Guardian, The Independent, The Big Issue, GP Online, The Evening Standard, and The Mirror, among others.
Our Chief Executive, Jonathan Pauling, was interviewed by Dr Rupy Aujla for The Doctor's Kitchen podcast, shedding light on the impact of Fruit & Veg on Prescription. Dr Rupy Aujla also featured our Lambeth Fruit & Veg on Prescription Project in a separate episode.

We have recruited new market traders and greengrocers across all our locations to enhance the variety and choice available to families using Rose Vouchers. This expansion has provided families with a broader range of options and allowed us to collaborate with food banks and pantries.
We have been focused on our mission to give families access to fresh fruit and veg in their communities for nine years and have never witnessed the demand for our support like we have this last year. We are proud that our small team of twelve staff has made a significant impact by helping thousands of people access healthy and affordable food.
2022/23 represented year 3 of the charity’s Five Year Strategy up to March 2025. The main objectives of the strategy are to:
- Increase and demonstrate our impact in our existing projects and new areas across the UK Grow our funding and develop a balanced, sustainable funding mix
Strengthen our organisation, team and assets to deliver our work efficiently and effectively Build strong partnerships that put local stakeholders in the lead
Boost ARC’s profile to drive awareness of our work, support fundraising and increase our advocacy power
We have made good progress towards achieving these objectives, and they will continue to be a focus for activity in 2023/24 as they remain relevant.

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Barnsley
We launched Rose Vouchers in Barnsley in 2016, making it our first project location outside London. In the last seven years, nearly 2,000 families from 10 family centres based across Barnsley have received and spent Rose Vouchers on fresh fruit and veg.
Working with staff from an outreach scheme who visit Barnsley Hospital, we can support families with access to fresh fruit and veg in these hugely important early moments and in the years to come.
We work with Barnsley Market at the heart of the town centre and with other traders around the town.
Carly Speechley, Executive Director of Children's Services at Barnsley Council:
This year, we launched a new initiative at Barnsley Hospital to give the families of babies in the neonatal unit Rose Vouchers when they are discharged. A fruit and veg stand is situated outside the hospital, with families able to spend their Rose Vouchers straight away.
“Rose Vouchers provide real support for Barnsley families to adopt healthier lifestyles in the crucial years before school begins. We want Barnsley to be a place of possibilities, and giving children the healthiest possible start is part of helping them lead productive and happy lives in the future."

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Glasgow
Since the project launch in 2020, 300 families in Glasgow have received Rose Vouchers, spending them on fruit and veg for their children at Bridgeton Market, an independent greengrocer in Drumchapel and Ruchazie Pantry.
We are working with several great organisations in Glasgow who oversee the smooth running of the project locally and manage the service in their areas, distributing Rose Vouchers to families on low incomes in the Calton area and Drumchapel.
This year, we have also seen an expansion of our work into the Scottish Pantry Network with our partnership with our first food pantry in Ruchazie.
This has attracted £25,000 in pilot funding from Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership, with the hope of the partnership being able to fund further work to support more locations across the Scottish Pantry Network.
Siobhan Boyle, Health Improvement Lead, Glasgow Health & Social Care Partnership Thrive Under 5:
“Glasgow’s child healthy weight project, Thrive Under 5, is delighted to partner with Alexandra Rose Charity. This partnership has enabled families to access free fruit and veg in their local community, increasing the varieties eaten and overall consumption. This is hugely important for families, omitting the barrier of cost and making a difference to healthier lifestyles.”

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Hackney
Hackney was the site for our original pilot for Rose Vouchers in 2014, helping us showcase how the project could support both families to afford fresh fruit and veg and contribute to the local food economy through utilising local markets.
Today, Rose Vouchers are spent by families at Ridley Road Market, Hoxton Street Market, a greengrocer in Stamford Hill and a fantastic independent market trader in Well Street.
Eight children's centres manage the distribution of Rose Vouchers in Hackney. They have supported 1,107 families with Rose Vouchers over the last nine years.
.
An Early Years Practitioner at Sebright Children's Centre:
"Rose vouchers are making a big difference to our families. Many parents have said that if they didn't have Rose Vouchers, they would not be eating a variety of veg and even less fruit as the cost of everything has gone up.
Our 'Kitchen Club' session on Tuesdays has become very popular with parents receiving Rose Vouchers - they make food with their children, learn how to cook with different veg, get advice and take recipes home to try with their families. Parents have said that this has given them the confidence to try a wider variety of fruit and veg."

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Hammersmith & Fulham
Our Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project has been helping families in Hammersmith & Fulham for over five years, launching in January 2017.
North End Road Action Group helped us bring the project to the area to help drive improvements to the North End Road Market. Families receiving Rose Vouchers can spend them at North End Road Market and Shepherds Bush Market on a great selection of fruit and veg.
In 2022, we launched Rose Vouchers at our first foodbank, The Hub, based in White City.
Phil Storey, Chief Executive of Hammersmith and Fulham Foodbank
"Through Rose Vouchers, we can have an ongoing relationship with local families, which means we can find other ways to offer wraparound support and signpost to other local help. This helps people avoid getting into crisis and embeds them with other support in the community.
Alexandra Rose Charity is our favourite project because it enables families to have a choice, to eat fresh, to shop locally, and it keeps the money in the local economy, supporting our local market traders."

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Lambeth
Rose Vouchers have been available in Lambeth since 2015, with over 1,800 families receiving Rose Vouchers over the last eight years.
Shirley Williams - Administrator for the North Lambeth Better Start Area and Rose Voucher distributor:
Families spend their Rose Vouchers at Brixton Market and two other fruit and veg traders on Streatham High Road and West Norwood.
Our Lambeth Rose Vouchers for Fruit and Veg Project in Lambeth operates from an incredible 14 children's centres and a Homestart service.
The centres are spread across the Better Start Areas of North Lambeth, Clapham Brixton Hill, Stockwell Brixton, Brixton Tulse Hill, Streatham and Norwood.
"It has been an amazing partnership with the Alexandra Rose Charity...the feedback from families has been, at times, so humbling. The gratitude from the families, so thankful for the extra financial support, especially at Christmas when many families struggle even to heat their homes, is so good to hear.
On behalf of the North Lambeth Better Start Area team, we thank you all for your support. It is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of this project that is making an incredible difference for the families who are part of it."

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Liverpool
A unique difference of our Liverpool Rose Vouchers for Fruit and Veg Project is the lack of easy access to local markets. As a solution, we partnered with a local company who operate a mobile fruit and veg van selling fresh produce. The van visits local children’s centres every week, allowing families to shop with their Rose Vouchers for fruit and veg in a convenient and accessible location.
This year, Feedback Global launched a second mobile fruit and veg van, Queen of Greens, offering families additional choice and reaching new families across Liverpool. This alternative retail model has helped us prove that Rose Vouchers can work in areas where street markets do not currently exist.
Paul from the Queen of Greens van:
“When I heard that the Rose Vouchers were coming to Liverpool, I wanted to be involved. Selling fruit and veg from the bus is such a great idea because you go into people’s communities.
I fill the bus up with affordable produce. I’ll tell people how to cook things like cauliflower, as some families might not know what to do with it. They all talk to each other, and now my cauliflower sales have gone through the roof. It’s the same with avocados and asparagus; it’s just a little bit of knowledge.”

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Southwark
The Southwark Rose Vouchers for Fruit and Veg Project launched in 2018. We partner with 1st Place Children and Parents' Centre, which supports a network of children's centres and community organisations to deliver the Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project in Southwark.
Thanks to significant funding from Impact on Urban Health, Southwark has become our largest project. Over 1,900 families have received Rose Vouchers in Southwark, supporting over 4,400 children.
Families can spend their Rose Vouchers with a wide range of local traders.
Rose Vouchers are accepted at 10 fruit and veg stalls on East Street Market, three traders in Peckham, and St George the Martyr Food Cooperative in Borough.
Harem, from Adam’s Fresh Fruit Stall in East Street Market:
“Rose Vouchers are really helping families around here. The families I see are so happy spending their Rose Vouchers at the market. Their money goes much further. If they went to the supermarket for their fruit & veg, what they want could be £2, but here at my stall, it’s 50p.”

Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project
Tower Hamlets
The Tower Hamlets Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project is our newest project, launching in May 2022. Over 100 families in this area have now registered for Rose Vouchers, spending them at Chrisp Street Market.
This project is funded by our successful public fundraising campaign with the Big Give in December 2021 and funding from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Dr Somen Banerjee, Director of Public Health, Tower Hamlets:
"We are delighted to be collaborating with the Alexandra Rose Charity. This project not only increases access to fruit and veg but also supports local businesses and improves the health and wellbeing of residents."
The project currently works with three children's centres and a community organisation called The Limehouse Project.

Fruit & Veg on Prescription
The Fruit & Veg on Prescription project is running in Lambeth and Tower Hamlets, for people on low incomes with health conditions who could benefit from an improved diet.
Thought to be the UK’s first large-scale Fruit & Veg on Prescription project, we launched our new project in November 2022 to help tackle health inequality and food poverty. This £250,000 pilot is funded by the London Borough of Lambeth Public Health, Impact on Urban Health, and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Each person prescribed Rose Vouchers receives up to £8 per week in vouchers plus £2 per week for each household member.
With high rates of chronic disease in both Lambeth and Tower Hamlets, our project will explore the viability of fruit and veg on prescription as a long-term solution to tackling diet-related ill health and food insecurity.

Fruit & Veg on Prescription
In Lambeth, we have partnered with the AT Beacon Project, which uses a community health approach, with the delivery of the project focused on going to where the community is rather than asking them to visit a traditional health practice. In Tower Hamlets, we have partnered with the Bromley by Bow Centre, one of the earliest pioneers of social prescribing.
Dr Chi-Chi Ekhator, GP Lead at the Beacon Project and vice-chair of the Ascension Trust:
“Fruit and Veg on prescription is absolutely key to tackling health inequalities in many vulnerable communities. This project aims to help those who are most vulnerable achieve better control of their health through lifestyle choices that are evidenced based and will indeed make a huge difference not only to the individual but also to the NHS as a whole.”
Ruth Roberts, Head of Delivery and Impact at Bromley By Bow Centre:
"We’re delighted to partner with the Alexandra Rose Charity on the Fruit and Veg on Prescription project. The impact of the project has been greater than we expected. Not only has it increased residents’ access to fruit and veg, but it has also improved the health and wellbeing of their families."

Impact and Evaluation
Over the last nine years, £2.1m worth of fresh fruit and veg have been bought with Rose Vouchers, supporting over 9,580 families, including 17,850 children, to eat a healthy diet and avoid food poverty.
Over the last year, to explore the impact of Rose Vouchers on parents and children, we have conducted research with participants in our Southwark Rose Vouchers for Fruit and Veg Project. Key findings are shared below, focusing on family nutrition, diet changes, wellbeing, and physical health.
64% of children are now eating at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day (up from just 7%)
Due to the financial relief, parents tell us they are feeling happier and more creative around food and including their children in shopping and cooking.
86% of families report better mental wellbeing, particularly around financial stress.
82% of parents report that the Rose Vouchers help their child maintain a healthy weight.
Parents say they can ‘make a meal’ out of Rose Vouchers, in comparison to similar initiatives.
Alexandra Rose Charity Trustees' Annual Report and Accounts 2022/23
Page 22
Impact and Evaluation
Families tell us that with Rose Vouchers, they are experiencing consistent, high-quality health across their whole family, including low GP visits and low sickness. Many parents viewed food as a 'gateway' to good health, using fruit and veg to bolster their family's immune systems.
They also report that consistent fruit and veg intake has been crucial for acclimatising their children to vegetables and more bitter flavours at a critical point of development (6 months to 2 years). Helping to create good eating habits from an early age and cultivate a lasting preference for fruit and veg and healthy food.
Basing Rose Voucher collection sessions at children's centres and other community organisations is key, as families report receiving help with at least one additional service, such as finding out about courses and programmes, while collecting their Rose Vouchers.
Partnering with market traders is also crucial to providing families with culturally familiar fruit and veg. With Rose Vouchers, parents tell us they can now afford culturally familiar food, helping them to retain important cultural and emotional links to food and joy in home cooking.

How Rose Vouchers help Fatima's family
"I feel happy to get Rose Vouchers. I used to go to friends and family and see different fruit they had that we couldn’t get, but now we can buy it."
“Now I have my Rose Vouchers; I tell my child we can go to the market on Tuesday and have new fruit and veg to try. She’s three and very excited to choose what she wants. She said, “I got strawberries, I got strawberries!” last time we went shopping.
I give my daughter a Rose Voucher at the market and the chance to pick what she likes. We can’t do that at the supermarket as everything is so expensive. I have to decide what we can get.
My daughter likes to take the Rose Vouchers to the lady to pay. She’s learning what to eat and what to buy.
My daughter is so happy to have new fruit and veg to try. She’s calming down as she can get what she needs. She’s tried mango now and says, “Mummy, this is so nice”.
We use Rose Vouchers for the whole family and mostly make different soups and pasta. Chicken is expensive, so I buy more veg instead. Everything at the market is so fresh. I was excited. My mum was excited too.
With the Rose Vouchers, we can get everything we want.”
Fatima, mum of two from Glasgow

How Rose Vouchers help Zoe's family
“I’d be lost without Rose Vouchers. I have four children, and with my friend Rachel, we put our Rose Vouchers together and buy what we need for our children."
"We batch-cook our meals together. I’ll make a Sunday dinner at the weekend; then, if we have leftovers, we freeze them. My youngest is ten months old and often has soft food from our main meals, like mashed potato and veg.
Last week, we went and got our Rose Vouchers, and the market trader said
they’ve got podded peas, so we got some, and the kids love them. It reminded me of when I’d get podded peas and take them in my lunchbox at school.
When the kids come in from school, they’re straight into the fruit bowl. They go mad for strawberries.
Since having Rose Vouchers, it’s helped a lot. With the cost-of-living crisis, you don’t know where your next meal is going to come from. £4 in Rose Vouchers can buy you potatoes, so you have a meal and can add a salad if the kids want it.
Barnsley Market has so much variety. They have raspberries and blueberries; you can easily spend all your Rose Vouchers on one stall so you can get what you need for a Sunday dinner all the way up to fruit for snacks. Having Rose Vouchers and sharing meals with Rachel and her family is how we all get by.”
Zoe, mum of four from Barnsley

Fundraising Success
We've had another very successful year and increased our income to £1,414,448, meaning we could rise to the challenge of supporting more families than ever.
In December 2022, we ran our most successful Big Give matched funding campaign so far, raising over £72,000 in just one week.
We've continued to diversify our income to ensure sustainability. In June 2022, we participated in the Childhood Trusts’ Champions for Children match funding campaign with the Big Give and raised over £40,000 in two weeks. Thanks to our pledge funder, Artemis Charitable Foundation.
Pleasingly, we have been approached by multiple funders this year who heard about our work from other funders who heard us
We’re grateful to The Patrick and Helena Frost Foundation for being our pledge funder, helping us get the campaign off the ground and to The Childhood Trust for choosing to be our champion funder again.
We have some exciting plans in place for 2023-24 that will help us continue to diversify our funding even further to ensure our income is sustainable.

Advocacy
This year, we have continued to support campaigns around the UK, which are working to help people experiencing food poverty and alleviate the impact of the ongoing cost of living crisis.
In December 2022, in response to the enormous pressures families were facing, we increased our standard weekly Rose Voucher allocation from £3 to £4 per child to help families afford vital fruit and veg for their children.
Following this direct action, we signed a letter from Martin Lewis to the Chancellor in February 2023, calling the government to postpone the planned April energy price hike or see millions more people fall into fuel poverty. This campaign succeeded, and the price increase was postponed.
Alexandra Rose Charity Trustees' Annual Report and Accounts 2022/23
As awareness of our charity and work grows, we are adding our voice to more calls to action, including in February 2023 and later in May 2023, providing quotes for two pieces in The Guardian regarding the ongoing problems with the Healthy Start scheme and the urgent need for this to be fixed.
With more dedicated funding, we are exploring how best to use our voice to support future campaigns. We have appointed an Advocacy Consultant, with funding from Impact on Urban Health, to develop a new advocacy framework for us to expand and develop our advocacy work, which remains a crucial part of our Five-Year Strategy.

Total expenditure during the year was £1,358,277 (2022: £971,561).

Increased costs are also associated with our growing staff team as well as consultancy support for fundraising. Expenditure on tech and processes is key to the long-term future of the Charity and has seen increased investment during the year. This investment will continue into 2023/24.
The value of our investment portfolio fell by £19,676 from £228,806 to £209,130, in line with market trends over the last 12 months.

Auditor (formerly Independent Examiner) - The Trustees approved the appointment of Mark Partridge of Chariot House Ltd at the Board Meeting held on 22nd September 2022.
Reserves Policy
Alexandra Rose Charity reserves policy allows for 3 months full running costs and 3 months wind down cost.
Board monitoring of the current levels of reserve is done through its quarterly Finance Subgroup meetings. A review of the charity's reserve policy will be taking place in 2023.
Risk Management
The Trustees regularly review all major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have taken appropriate action to mitigate the effects of such risks. A risk register is kept and reviewed/updated on a quarterly basis at both the Operation Subgroup Committee meeting and at the Finance Subgroup Committee meetings.
A key strategic risk and uncertainty for the charity has been and continues to be Rose Vouchers losing their value due to the high levels of food price inflation. In December 2022, the charity implemented an increase in voucher value across all project areas from £3 to £4. Our aim is to maintain this level into the future but will be funding dependent.
As an organisation, the charity receives a wide range of funding but with significant elements from Trusts and Foundations and local authority sectors. These funds are often secured from year to year, which reduces the certainty that longerterm funding provides. In addition, the competition for Trusts and Foundation funding is increasing, and local authority funding is likely to be constrained by the financial pressures in the sector. The charity is therefore actively diversifying its funding streams and fundraising efforts, for example, in the statutory health sector and with corporate funders to help mitigate these risks.
Our reserve requirement calculation at 31st March 2023 was £461,087.
Our free reserve @ 31st March 2023 was £292,307.

Investment Policy
Investment Powers and Restrictions. There are no specific restrictions other than that the investments should be suitable for charities and should not include any direct investment in tobacco companies. The Trustees are very grateful to Quilter Cheviot Asset Management for their continued support, good management and guidance on our investment policy during 2022/23.
The investment objective is to grow the capital of the portfolio as well as generating some degree of income. The investment time horizon is more than three years, and the trustees’ lower to medium tolerance for risk means the charity is only comfortable with moderate variation or disruption to capital value or income.

Trustee statement
The Trustees (who are also the Directors of Alexandra Rose Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year, giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 2006 (as amended). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Report of the independent auditors to the members of Alexandra Rose Charity
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Alexandra Rose Charity (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 2006 (as amended).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Alexandra Rose Charity Trustees' Annual Report and Accounts 2022/23
Page 32
Report of the independent auditors to the members of Alexandra Rose Charity
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Alexandra Rose Charity Trustees' Annual Report and Accounts 2022/23
Page 33
Report of the independent auditors to the members of Alexandra Rose Charity
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charity and its activities, and through discussion with the trustees and management, we identified the principal risks of material misstatement both at the financial statement level and at the assertion level.
We considered these risks in the light of various factors including the level of complexity, subjectivity, uncertainty, potential management bias, fraud, materiality and any other relevant factors. We considered the extent to which these would have a material impact on the financial statements and designed our audit work accordingly.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.
• We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud, and reviewed significant or unusual transactions to identify their underlying supporting rationale.
• We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, and made direct enquiries of management and the board of trustees concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to:
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
Alexandra Rose Charity Trustees' Annual Report and Accounts 2022/23
Page 34
Report of the independent auditors to the members of Alexandra Rose Charity
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that were unusual or those outside the normal course of business. We also
• discussed and reviewed the charity’s business model and forward planning to assess going concern.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.
This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
Other matters
• communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
• reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
In line with the exemptions available to small charities, the accounts for the charitable company were unaudited for the period ended 31 March 2022. No misstatements have been identified which materially affect the current period’s financial statements.
• Carried out substantive testing on income and expenditure.
• Re-performed reconciliations of control accounts, and recalculated items such as depreciation.

2.2 Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the Charity has gained entitlement to the income and the amounts can be quantified with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the charity will receive the income.
Grants and donations are included in full in the SOFA when receivable. Donations are included in unrestricted funds if not destined for specific purposes.
Investment income is recognised in the financial statements when receivable.

Notes to the Accounts continued
2.9 Leasing and hire purchase commitments
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
2.4 Fixed assets
Fixed assets are recognised at historic cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation. Depreciation/amortisation rates are as follows:
Computer equipment: Previously calculated on 25% reducing balance - changed in 2019/20 to be 3 year straight line
App Software: 20% straight line
Website Development: 3 year straight line
Technology and equipment will be capitalised if the asset is intended for use on an ongoing basis and costs over £500.
2.10 Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

2.5 Investments
Investments are initially recognised at cost and restated to fair value at each year end. Gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. The Trustees seek to use short and medium term deposits where possible to maximise the return on monies held at the bank and to manage cash flow.
2.8 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.
Retirement benefits to employees of the entity are provided by a defined contribution scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the entity.
The contributions made in relation to the defined contribution scheme are charged in the accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity. Unrestricted funds include designated funds which are funds which trustees have allocated to be spent on a specific purpose.
