A message from the Co<hairs of Tru$te•$
This past year has brought significant challenge to the young people and their families that Hackney
Quest serve5.' continued sleep increases in the cost of living brought about by the rising cost of food
and energy bills essential and basic needs of our young people, that can create financial insecurity
and anxiety for families and the young people within them.
Media coverage has highlighted the legacy Df the Covid pandemic and cuts lo government funding on
the educational achievemenl of young people and the impact on their mental health.. Ihese concefns
raised by young people and their carers lo peers, Hackney Quest's staff and volunteers who have
identified these COn￿mS are sometimes overlooked or misinlerpreled by the stretched stalulory
services that are often unable to provide prevenlalive services.
Hackney Quest conlinues to highlight and respond lo these service gaps and more through their
knowledge of the local community and Injsl held by its members when they need il most, in the
provision of effective youth and family-focussed programmes, partnership and signposting to relevant
local organisalions, as well as hosting and supporting the community itself through warm space.
community meals, foodbanks and more via our family support and hardship programmes.
Over the last year Hackney Quest's consistency and community familiarity has ensured it has
developed ils ServI￿S lo the needs of young people and their families by mobilizing their volunteer
ne￿￿ork to identify and deliver powerful, potentially life<hanging opportunities for young people. One
of the many excellent programmes and outcomes this year is Hackney Quest's NewFulures HQ

and physical wellbeing of its young adults with counselling, sexual health drop-ins and funded cultural
trips, understancjing the importance of a holistic approach to Iheir view of achievement and success.
Hackney Quest's impactfvjl and systemic approach lo young people meeting their potential within Ihelr
community context extends lo enabling young people to be active citizens. This is m¢xlelled through
our youth empowerment and participation,. having our young people involved at all levels of the
organisation., and their exercising their voice within the community and further- for example via

Our offices amd youth spaces have also benefited from a major refurbishment thanks lo volunteers
from Ikea and Shelter who created an amazing space for our young people, including a brand-new

popular with young people.
On behalf of our fellow trustees. we'd like to thank all of Hackney Quest's wonderful stsff. supporters.

Jacquie Driver Ltd was the charitable company's independent examiner during the year
Approved by the Trustees on

## **Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Hackney Quest** 

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, related notes and are set out on pages 12 to 21 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).  The charity is required by company law to prepare accrual based accounts and the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body.  My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report or for the statements that I have made. 

## **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 you as 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** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act ; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Regulation 8 of the Accounts Regulations and the 2011 Act 

   - have not been met; or 

- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Hackney Quest Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**For the year ending 31 August 2023** 

## **1.  Accounting Policies** 

a) The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006. They follow the recommendations in the Statement of Recommended Practice, applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Repulic of Ireland (FRS102) (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. 

Hackney Quest was incorporated by Memorandum and Articles of Association in 1988 and is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital (company number 2266475). It is also a registered charity (number 299734). It's registered office is at 1 Poole Road, Hackney, E9 7AE. 

The trustees consider that Hackney Quest is a going concern as it has prepared what it considers a viable budget and cashflow for the next twelve months that shows that the current level of unrestricted reserves it is appropriate to support the activities planned for 2023-24 and for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the accounts are prepared based on Hackney Quest being a going concern. 

b) Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Donated services and facilities are recognised as an incoming resource where the provider of the service has incurred a financial cost. Volunteer time is not included in the financial statements. 

c) Revenue grants are credited to the statement of financial activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless they relate to a specific future period, in which case they are deferred. 

d) Grants for the purchase of fixed assets are credited to restricted incoming resources when receivable. Depreciation of fixed assets purchased with such grants is charged against the restricted fund. Where a fixed asset is donated to the charity for its own use, it is treated in a similar way to a restricted grant. 

e) Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. 

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function are allocated to support costs. 

These costs are re-allocated on the basis of staff time as: 

|Fundraising and publicity|15%|
|---|---|
|Young people's and volunteers' activities|85%|



Governance costs include the management of the charitable company's assets, organisational management and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

The costs of generating funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in raisirig funds for the charitable work. 

f) Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life. The depreciation methods in use are as follows: Equipment, fixtures and fittings 20% of the cost each year 

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. 

Assets will be reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their recoverable value to be materially lower than their value disclosed in the accounts. 

g) Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.  Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund together with a fair allocation of governance costs. 

h) Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charitable company. 

i) Rentals payable under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis, based on the length of the lease.
