TRUSTEES' REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
Sharedlmpact is a charitable company limited by guarantee and incorporated on 4 March 2011 as Company number 07551618, registered in England and Wales,and registered as a Charity Commission charity on 16 January 2012 as Charity number 1145471. |
The charity was established under, and is governed by, its Articles of Association. The directors of the charity are its trustees for the purposes of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as 'the trustees'. |
As set out in the Articles of Association, the trustees may be appointed for such terms as thought fit by the trustees. |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
The Objects of the Charity are the promotion of the efficiency and effectiveness of charities and the effective use of resources by charitable and non charitable bodies for such purposes in any part of the world as are exclusively charitable in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, by intervening to help restructure debt accrued to further charitable purposes, and by helping charities and non charitable bodies pursuing a charitable purpose to access funding solutions to help them to thrive for the benefit of the public. |
Significant activities |
The activities in this operational period have continued to focus on building donor and charity relationships. Impact investment in the supported living sector is allowing a nascent sector to be nurtured which can benefit people with learning conditions and potentially transform their lives. |
Public benefit |
As required by the Charities Act 2011, the trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when setting up the Trust. In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ’public benefit: running a charity (PB2).’ |
Grantmaking |
The trustees assess prospective funding recipients by reference to the definitions of charitable activity provided by the Charity's regulators. |

TRUSTEES' REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Financial position |
Income for the year from donations and investments was £122,990 (2022: £102,696) Total expenditure for the year was £160,065 (2022: £661,448) and donations and grants totalling £106,020 (2022: £81,242) were made. It is anticipated that donations will increase significantly in future as the Charity's donor-advised fund platform is now fully operational, which has been demonstrated in the current year. |
All funds at the year end are unrestricted and the charity holds no restricted funds. At the year end reserves were £881,972 (2022: £917,247) . |
Investment policy and objectives |
Under the Charity's Articles of Association, the trustees have wide powers of investment in respect of the Charity's assets. In recognition of their general duty of prudence and the need to have proper regard to the suitability of investments and the need to consider diversification, the trustees are, for the time being, holding any income in interest-earning bank accounts in order to keep the funds highly liquid. The trustees are in discussions with various fund managers with regards to developing the Charity's investment policy with a view to building a diversified portfolio. |
Reserves policy |
The trustees are currently considering the future plans and priorities of the Charity and will develop a more structured reserves policy in line with these development plans in the future. In the short term, the charity has minimal core costs and no staff or premises to support and has targeted a minimal level of reserves to cover these costs, which for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 was £20,000. |
Going concern |
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In particular the trustee has considered the charity's income from donations, which are ad-hoc in nature. The trustee takes assurance that the charity has no long term significant liabilities or commitments and the making of grants is at the discretion of trustees where funds are available for distribution. Having reviewed forecasts prepared by management the Trustees are confident that the charity will continue to meet its obligations as they fall due and that therefore the going concern basis continues to be appropriate. |
STRATEGIC REPORT |
Financial review |
Key Management |
The Trustees are not remunerated and the Trust has no employees. |
Appointment of new trustees |
New trustees may be appointed by the trustees, to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee. The Charity shall select appropriate trustees and provide them with an induction to acquaint them with the governance and policies of the Charity as well as what is expected of them in their new role. Additional training and/or information will be provided to the trustees on an ongoing basis. |
The charity acknowledges that the.financial statements have been filed significantly later than anticipated and their actions have fallen below the required level of governance required from the Trustees. This was due to a number of exceptional circumstances and the Trustees are confident that they will be able to get the statutory reporting of the charity and its subsidiary up to date in the near future with the assistance of their professional advisors. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
Financial and risk management objectives and policies |
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and the trustees are satisfied that the systems in place mitigate those risks. |
* There is a risk we will not attract sufficient philanthropic capital. |
Mitigation: we are pursing a range of approaches to reach out to philanthropists to explain the benefits of impact investing and the services we can provide. |
* There is a risk that the impact investments we make will not yield the impact we would like to see. |
Mitigation: we are pursing a range of approaches to reach out to philanthropists to explain the benefits of impact investing and the services we can provide. |
Future plans |
As the charity continues to build relationships with charities, donors and their wealth advisors it is looking to further its social investment activities, focussing primarily in the UK, to provide early-stage strategic support where alternative funding sources are unavailable. The current focus on supported living will be continued in partnership with trade and government agencies to maximise the impact that can be achieved. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Social investments |
Programme related investments are included at the value of loans advanced to beneficiaries less any provision against those deemed irrecoverable. Social investments are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the loan, the estimated future cash flows have been affected, The impairment loss is recognised in the statements of financial activities. |
These loans are considered to meet the conditions for exemption from the requirement to account for these under FRS 102 at amortised cost, as they meet the definition of public benefit entity concessionary loans; as such they are accounted for and their transaction value less impairment. |
Taxation |
The charity has suffered no tax charge, as it is not subject to UK corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
Foreign currencies |
SOFA transactions have been converted at the spot rate on the date of transaction. All closing balances have been converted at the year end exchange rates. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Going Concern |
SHAREDIMPACT |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
The Trustee has assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cause significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. In particular the trustee has considered the charity's income from donations, which are ad- hoc in nature. The trustee takes assurance that the charity has no long term significant liabilities or commitments and the making of grants is at the discretion of trustees where funds are available for distribution. There is an unsecured liability that is owed to a former Trustee as disclosed in note 10 which has been requested to be repaid after the year end. The charity has minimal overheads and can liquidate its short term investments to settle the amount owed, and if required will come to a short term payment plan arrangement to settle this. The trustee is therefore satisfied the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for at least twelve months from the approval of the financial statements. The charity continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
Financial instruments |
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ’Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ’Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
With the exceptions of prepayments and deferred income all other debtor and creditor balances are considered to be basic financial instruments under FRS 102. See notes 9 and 10 for the debtor and creditor notes. |
Key estimates and judgements |
In preparing financial statements the Trustees are required to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other known factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions to accounting estimates being recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both periods. |
The Trustees consider the key area of judgement deemed to have the most significant effect on values recognised in the financial statements relates to the valuation of social investments and the valuation of financial investments. The charitable company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of social investments as part of an annual impairment review. The charity also makes an estimate of the fair value of unlisted investments based on the information it has available to it at the balance sheet date. |
A provision is considered against any potential unrecoverable or impaired investments at the financial year end at fair value. |
