The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Trustees’ report**
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Trust.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the Trust’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.
## **Reference and Administrative Information**
The Causeway Trust was created by a Declaration of Trust dated 24 September 1992 and was registered as a charity on 16 December 1992. By a deed dated 1 October 1994 the Trust’s name was changed to The Kepplewray Trust. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 1015762. The Trustees, executive officers and principal addresses of the Charity, together with its professional advisers, are given on page 3.
## **Objects, Aims, Objectives and Activities**
## **Charitable Objective**
The main objective of the Trust is the advancement of the education and awareness of individuals and groups of disabled and non-disabled people through residential and day programmes of adventure, learning, challenge and relaxation in a fully accessible and inclusive Christian environment.
Through its trading company, Kepplewray Limited, a large mansion (‘Kepplewray’) in the Lake District was acquired which, after substantial renovation, enables the Trust to meet its charitable objective. Programmes at Kepplewray stretch mental and physical capabilities and deliberately promote the inclusion of disabled and disadvantaged people so that their conditions of life might be improved.
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
## **Achievement and Performance**
Despite best efforts and an increase in our sales and marketing efforts our residential booking revenue has fallen for a third year. The decrease in residential group bookings and the volatility (seasonality) of demand is very challenging and seems to reflect the ongoing impact of the cost-of-living crisis in the UK.
However, we have sought to mitigate the reduction in school residentials by developing a self-catering offer as a way of diversifying the business and this has been reasonably successful in filling up weekends and holiday periods which would otherwise be empty.
In addition, we have been able through careful planning to significantly reduce staffing costs across the charities activities and in hiring freelance instructors. These savings have reduced our losses in the current financial year compared to the previous year. However, these savings could not be replicated year on year, and we therefore recognise the vital need to see an increase in our earned income in future years whilst at the same time maintaining the costs savings already made.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
Steps taken to diversify our vision and business, as well as improve out-of-season income, include offering an instructor training course leading to professional qualifications, and we already have bookings for Autumn 2026 on this course. Another area being explored is an increased appreciation of neurodiversity and we are assessing our accommodation and activities in order to offer significant and relevant support to those in this group. We are also at the point of finalising an agreement with a supportive trust which will significantly reduce our monthly loan and lease repayments.
## **Refurb Projects**
Despite the challenging economic conditions there has been progress in the successful delivery of projects to improve the Centre building and introduce new assets into our offer.
**CGP Support** : We have been greatly encouraged by the generous practical and financial support provided by local business CGP, which has enabled significant repairs and improvements to both the premises and surrounding grounds. Works completed or underway include extensive drainage improvements and resurfacing of the car park, landscaping and enhancements to the gardens, redecoration of the building internally and externally, replacement lighting, new blinds and curtains, attractive artwork throughout the public areas, and improvements to the roof and external fabric of the property. These developments have transformed the appearance, accessibility and functionality of the premises, creating a more welcoming and appealing environment for both staff and clients. The support received has been substantial and, had it not been so generously provided, would have represented a considerable cost to the charity.
**Broughton School:** We continued close links with Broughton-in-Furness Primary School, welcoming their pupils for activities throughout the year and providing freshly cooked school dinners for them daily. The Kepp Adventure programme continues to inspire and equip these young children for living life to the full in the great outdoors, whatever the weather.
**PIF:** We continue to make good use of our Participation Inclusion Fund, which provides greatly subsidised access to activities for hundreds of guests who would not normally be able to join us at the Centre. Thanks to the generosity of a number of funders, we estimate that approximately a third of our visitors are able to come to the centre as a direct result of the support they receive from the PI.
Our thanks are also due to all of those who have made this continued momentum possible. To the staff team, but also to my fellow trustees, to our donors, to our returning user groups, to our essential prayerful supporters and to the Broughton-in-Furness community. The combined efforts of all these groups have enabled our inclusive journey to continue and to evolve even through a period of great uncertainty and vulnerability.
## **The Bethesda Project in Burundi**
The Kepplewray Trust has continued its support of the work of Bethesda in the Muyinga diocese in northern Burundi through restricted donations from supporters around the UK. The work is carried out by three national staff one of whom is team leader reporting to the Bishop of Muyinga. They visit people with disabilities, prioritizing the young in the villages around Muyinga providing holistic care. This includes physiotherapy, provision of mobility and other aids, nutrition advice, promoting long term self-sufficiency, and education to try to remove the barriers to inclusion.
Throughout 2025 there has been considerable development of the work enabling expansion of both their provision and scope. This has been made possible by a number of factors:
- the team now have use of two motorbikes, enabling more flexible travel in the region
- a stable relationship with a local carpenter able to make “made to measure” adaptive equipment such as seating, scooters and standing frames.
- expansion of local contacts into some “new” villages where new work has begun.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
In addition, there have been several significant developments made possible by close liaison with other supporting parties who have provided funding for specific projects:
- Starlink has been installed in the Muyinga diocese offices thanks to shared funding between Bethesda supporters and Friends of Burundi. This has improved internet access although power supply continues to be problematic (sporadic) throughout the region.
- The Burundi Wadhurst Link provided funding for seven children with sensory impairments to attend special school in Gitega.
- Anglican Aid: As part of their work focused on the 100 poorest dioceses in the world, Anglican Aid (based in Australia) have partnered with Bethesda to provide 2 years of funding for nutrition support. This funding is direct to the Muyinga Diocese and will also cover a staff member to oversee the nutrition support work.
- Foundations for Farming: A grant from the Wadhurst - Burundi Link made it possible for two Bethesda staff to receive a week of training in “Farming God’s Way” which is a food security project. This has enabled the team to develop a demonstration plot which has now yielded its first successful harvest. The team are now preparing to bring this knowledge and practice into the local communities.
- Wheelchair Appeal: A specific appeal was launched in the Autumn to raise funds to purchase seven wheelchairs. This was successful and the funds which exceeded the target are being used to purchase further wheelchairs.
- 25 in 25 Campaign. This was a campaign to increase our base of regular supporters by 25 over the course of the year. We successfully gained 22 new regular supporters across the year.
Plans to visit Burundi in October 2025 had to be postponed due to health issues but it is hoped to reschedule that visit later this year, the purpose of which was to introduce some potential new funders to the work. Bridget Hathaway, a healthcare outreach worker with much experience of working in Africa, is visiting Muyinga for four days in March 2026 to provide training and support to the team.
We are very grateful to our faithful supporters of this vital work in one of the world **’** s poorest countries.
## **Management Development**
In line with good practice, and very much as part of the work of the Development Team, we continue to develop our internal systems, support our staff, implement, review and amend our policies in order to deliver the best possible service to our guests.
## **Thanks**
Donations and grants are vital to the development of the Centre. We are very grateful to all of our supporters and donors.
## **Financial review and results for the year**
The Trust’s year end is 30 September, and the accounts are independently examined annually. The consolidated results are shown in the unaudited accounts attached to this report.
## **Investment Policy**
The Trustees do not envisage the Trust holding investments in the foreseeable future apart from shares in its trading subsidiary. Any shares donated to the group will be sold as soon as they are fully listed.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Reserves Policy**
The group’s free reserves at 30 September 2025 are in deficit by £768,767 (2024: deficit of £756,591). Of this amount, £661,047 (2024: £663,721) are long term liabilities not due to crystallise for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Allowing for this, the adjusted free reserves for the group at 30 September 2025 are a deficit of £107,720 (2024: deficit of £92,870).
The charity’s free reserves at 30 September 2025 are in deficit by £135,083 (2024: deficit of £135,949). Of this amount, £239,140 (2024: £239,140) are long term liabilities not due to crystallise for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Allowing for this and the long-term debtor of £146,745 (2024: £133,998), the adjusted free reserves for the charity at 30 September 2025 is a deficit of £42,688 (2024: deficit of £30,807).
Despite its financial struggles and a failure to build any reserves Kepplewray Trust continues to effectively deliver its mission driven focus thanks to the support of donors and the generous intervention of its Trustees. We believe the following points help support the argument that despite the lack of reserves we are still a going concern.
1. **Earned income reduced but there are signs of recovery through new markets and diversification of our offer.** Our earned income has been reduced post covid and we are working hard to recover this income by
- widening our sales and marketing reach to new areas of the Northwest region as well as;
- seeking to diversify our offer in particular with the introduction of self-catering options to help fill weekends.
Both these initiatives are beginning to show signs of working albeit slowly.
2. **Strong Donor Base** : Regular contributions from committed donors continue to help sustain the charity's activities. We hope to grow this in the future.
3. **Effective Cost Management** : The charity has demonstrated effective cost management and the ability to operate on a shoestring budget. We continue to work on efficient use of resources and cost-cutting measures to ensure sustainability.
- _NB We hope soon to significantly reduce our rent outgoings due to the intervention of one of the Kepplewray management group who is planning to pay off the remaining mortgage and take over as landlord of the centre but offering a 5 year holiday from rent._
4. **Positive Impact and Community Support** : The charity's positive impact on its clients and strong support from beneficiaries and stakeholders is a sign of its longer term viability. In particular the support from local business CGP in the refurbishment of the building is a significant added value to the operation saving tens of thousands of pounds and adding huge value to the building and grounds.
5. **Access to Credit** : The charity has access to short-term financing options via the Kepplewray Ltd overdraft which we have judicially used to manage cash flow issues and continue operations.
_**6.**_ **Future Funding Opportunities** : The charity has started using the services of an external fundraiser and it is hoped that this will lead to greater success in potential future funding opportunities, such as upcoming grants or fundraising campaigns.
7. **Dedicated Trustees, Leadership and Staff** : A committed leadership team and dedicated staff all contribute to the charity's mission during challenging financial times. Their dedication helps navigate financial difficulties and help to find innovative solutions.
8. **Mission-Driven Focus** : The charity's unwavering commitment to its mission can inspire confidence in donors, volunteers, and stakeholders. We do have a clear and compelling mission to provide inclusive adventure experiences for all abilities and to use these to develop confidence and self-esteem in our young participants.
9. **Financial Planning and Forecasting** : we are committed to using and improving financial planning and forecasting to help the charity anticipate and manage financial challenges.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Governing Document**
The charity is governed by its Trust deed dating from 1992. The Trustees are granted wide powers of investment and of application of Trust funds towards the charitable objects of the Trust except that they may not undertake permanent trading activities in raising funds to achieve its objects.
## **Governing body**
The charity is governed by its trustees, of whom there are currently four. They are responsible for the administration of the objects of the Trust, having overall control and holding the legal, financial and management responsibility of the charity. They meet at least quarterly, but also receive regular reports from the Management Group.
## **Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of new Trustees**
Potential new trustees are approached by the Chairman on the basis of eligibility, availability, expertise and personal competence. They are normally invited to join the Kepplewray Management Group before being invited to become a trustee. On the group, they are introduced to all of the workings of the Charity. As trustees, they receive copies of Charity Commission newsletters and are informed of training courses that may be suitable for them.
## **Group structure and relationships**
On 1 January 1995 the Trust signed a 99 year lease agreement with Kepplewray Limited, which is wholly owned by the Trust, to secure the exclusive use of the property at Kepplewray and enable the Trust to further its charitable objectives. The results of Kepplewray Limited are shown in note 15 to the financial statements.
## **Risk Management**
The Trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Those risks have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate them. In keeping under review the Trust’s activities, Trustees are mindful of the potential for any changes to the present range of risks.
## **Future developments**
Subsequent to the year end, the Charity secured additional funding which enabled the outstanding bank loan to be repaid in full. The Trustees have also progressed arrangements for the Charity's freehold property to be transferred to a member of the Kepplewray management group in settlement of the funding advanced and certain existing loan balances.
Under the proposed arrangements, the Charity will continue to operate from the property under a lease agreement, including an initial five-year rent-free period. The Trustees consider that these arrangements will significantly improve the Charity's cash flow, reduce its ongoing occupancy costs and support the restoration of unrestricted reserves.
These matters have been taken into account by the Trustees in their assessment of the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales/Northern Ireland requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the Kepplewray Trust**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the consolidated accounts of the group comprising the Kepplewray Trust (the ‘trust’) and its subsidiary for the year ended 30 September 2025 which are set out on pages 11 to 30.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts (both parent and group) carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I draw attention to the disclosures contained within the Trustees' Report and Note 1 concerning the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. At 30 September 2025 the Group had net liabilities of £1,018 and unrestricted funds were in deficit. The Trustees also identify recurring operating losses, constrained cash resources, the requirement to restore restricted fund balances and the successful completion of planned postyear-end restructuring arrangements as matters giving rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
I confirm that there are 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.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Notes (forming part of the financial statements)**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## _**Basis of preparation**_
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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) issued in October 2019, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The Kepplewray Trust meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
## _**Going concern**_
At 30 September 2025, the Group had net liabilities of £1,018 (2024: net assets of £25,301) and unrestricted funds were in deficit by £23,079 (2024: deficit of £7,077). The Charity had unrestricted funds in deficit of £20,560 (2024: deficit of £19,888).
During the year, the Charity continued to experience trading losses and cash flow pressures. As a consequence, cash resources attributable to restricted funds have been temporarily utilised to support the Charity's working capital requirements. The Trustees recognise that these funds remain subject to donor-imposed restrictions and are committed to restoring the restricted fund balances from future unrestricted surpluses.
In assessing the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis, the Trustees have considered cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This incorporates assumptions regarding future trading performance, expected fundraising income, operating expenditure, continued support from donors and creditors, and the continued availability of existing financing arrangements.
The Trustees have identified a number of mitigating factors supporting these forecasts. During the year, operating costs were reduced, certain trading activities showed signs of recovery, donor support has continued, and confirmation has been received that certain loan balances will not be repayable within the next twelve months.
Subsequent to the year end, the Trustees secured additional funding which enabled the Charity to repay its bank loan in full. The Trustees are also progressing arrangements to transfer ownership of the Charity's freehold property to a member of the management group in settlement of the bank loan funding and certain existing loans. In return, the Charity will enter into a lease of the property, including an initial rent-free period, which is expected to improve liquidity and support the restoration of positive unrestricted reserves.
Notwithstanding these mitigating actions, at the time of approval of the accounts, the Group and the Charity continue to have net liabilities, recurring operating losses, constrained cash resources and an obligation to restore restricted fund balances. In addition, the proposed property transaction has not yet been completed. These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's and Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Nevertheless, having considered the cash flow forecasts, the funding available to the Charity and the expected outcome of the actions described above, the Trustees have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group or the Charity were unable to continue as a going concern.
## _**Funds**_
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. There are no designated funds in the period.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Notes** _(continued)_
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**Funds (continued)**_
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## _**Income recognition policies**_
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when it is probable the charity will be legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
- Accommodation and activity income are recognised when the party has stayed at the premises, and the service has been provided. If a stay spans the year end, income will be accrued for the proportion of the stay falling into the earlier year.
- Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the SOFA when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received.
- The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Where services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity. Donated services and facilities are analysed in note 2.
- Investment income is included when receivable.
## _**Debtors**_
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
## _**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.
## _**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.
## _**Expenditure**_
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Other costs comprise the costs of running the charity, including strategic planning for its future development, also external audit, any legal advice for the trustees, and all the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirement, such as the costs of Trustees’ meetings and of preparing statutory accounts and satisfying public accountability.
Rent charged to the charity by its subsidiary company is treated as a cost of the charity, and the intra-group income and costs are excluded from the consolidated figures.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2025
## **Notes** _(continued)_
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**_
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental costs of acquisition. Assets which are used by the group for direct charitable purposes are allocated as such. There are no assets otherwise classified.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Freehold property Nil Semi-permanent property 10% Fixtures and fittings 10%/20% Equipment 10%/20% Motor vehicles 25%/12.5% for motorcars 10% with residual value of £1,000 for minibuses Equipment in Burundi 33%
The trustees perform annual impairment reviews to ensure that the recoverable amount is not lower than the carrying value.
## _**Operating leases**_
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income based on occupancy levels.
## _**Investments**_
Current asset investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the period. Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less any provision for permanent diminution in value
## _**Stock**_
Stock consists of finished goods for resale and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
## _**Related party transactions**_
The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in the FRS 102 and have not disclosed related party transactions with its subsidiary undertaking.
## _**Pensions: Defined Contribution**_
The Charity set up a pension scheme with The Peoples’ Pension in March 2016 to comply with automatic enrolment requirements. Contributions to the scheme are charged in the SOFA as they become payable.
## _**Government grants**_
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
## _**Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**_
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. In the opinion of the Trustees there have been no significant judgements made in the process of applying the above accounting policies. There have been no key assumptions concerning future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

## **Notes** _(continued)_
## **20. Events after the end of the reporting period**
Subsequent to the year end, the Charity received additional funding which enabled it to repay the outstanding bank loan in full.
The Trustees have also agreed, subject to completion of the necessary legal documentation, to transfer ownership of the Charity's freehold property to a member of the management group in settlement of the funding advanced to repay the bank loan together with certain existing loan balances. Under the proposed arrangements, the Charity will continue to occupy the property under a lease agreement, including an initial rent-free period.
The Trustees consider that these events provide additional support for the Charity's ongoing financial restructuring and are expected to improve its liquidity and financial position. As these events occurred after the reporting date, no adjustment has been made to the amounts recognised in these financial statements.
