**SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LTD** TRUSTEES’ REPORT 

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

As a prime safety education charity, the Safety Centre is leading the way in early intervention and preventative safety education programmes. 

Our mission is to positively change behaviours and save lives through the delivery of practical, progressive, and unforgettable safety education. 

Our vision is to empower and equip people to live in a safer world by embedding essential, life- saving and relevant safety knowledge into everyday behaviours. Through our interactive, immersive, and memorable safety education and training, the Safety Centre serves to save lives by showing children, young people, and adults how to stay safe, understand risks, and avoid accidents or dangerous situations. Education that will stay with them forever. 

We deliver vital safety education at our immersive education centre ‘Hazard Alley’, directly into community spaces and schools, as well as virtually. Our education programmes create a much-needed safe space for children, young people, and adults to discuss essential safety topics. 

The Safety Centre created (and forms part of) the National Safety Centre Alliance, enabling safety centres from across the UK to share learning and insights. 

We deliver our vital safety education work in the following ways for the benefit of the communities we serve: 

1. Hazard Alley is our interactive and immersive safety education centre located in Milton Keynes and visited by thousands of young people across the South East and Midlands every year. Our centre is thought to have been the world’s first interactive and immersive safety education centre and remains a vital safety provision 32 years later. Visitors to our centre include primary school children, Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) groups, uniformed and community groups, youth groups, families, and participants of bespoke tours delivered in line with community needs. The centre is a unique way of children, young people and adults to experience safety education and our group of trained volunteer guides help ensure visitors have a positive and beneficial learning experience. 

2. Our Education Team deliver vital safety education workshops in schools, colleges and community spaces across the region on a range of safety themes. These sessions are interactive and immersive and empower recipients with key knowledge and skills to keep themselves and their wider community safe. 

3. We offer a range of training courses for adults and workplaces to extend our safety training provision. We also hire-out the centre for the likes of universities to conduct applied learning with medical students in our simulated environment, or for safety sector professionals to meet in a relatable and unique event space.

**SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LTD** TRUSTEES’ REPORT 

Ultimately, we are here to help save lives and ensure everyone has the opportunity to benefit from vital safety education. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During our 2024-25 financial year, focus continued on ensuring maximum engagement at Hazard Alley, with more than 9,000 student visits from schools across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, the Midlands and North London. 

We continued to offer dedicated visits for children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND), home-schooled children, college students and evening sessions for uniformed groups such as Cubs, Beavers and Brownies. 

We secured funding from Milton Keynes Council to deliver dates over the summer holiday period for low-income households to visit and learn as a family, and funding from National Lottery Million Hours Project enabled us to continue work with youth groups in the community, offering safe spaces to gather with peers after school across Milton Keynes. 

The continued increase to operational costs of the centre means our overheads continued to exceed income. Despite applying a marginal increase per child to visit Hazard Alley, the cost per child covered only 50% of the cost to the charity. 

We endeavoured to secure the balance with a focused attention on core cost grant applications, and although we have been successful in securing some income, the competitive nature of unrestricted trust fundraising has been evident. 

Our delivery of accredited first aid training courses continues as a reliable unrestricted income stream, as does exclusive hire bookings. Oxford Brookes University returned to us with several exclusive hire bookings throughout the year to take over the centre and simulate real-life emergency situations for students to put their theoretical learning into practice. 

With funding from Milton Keynes Community Foundation, we continued to build on the success of our Violence Against Women and Girls Education Workshops to primary and secondary schools in Milton Keynes. Funding from Buckinghamshire Council and Milton Keynes Council, Thames Valley Police, Hert of Bucks Foundation, Rookery South and Wixamtree Trust enables our team to also deliver in-school workshops across Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire on the themes of Knife Crime Intervention and AntiSocial Behaviour. 

Motor Insurers’ Bureau renewed their partnership for us to deliver Safe Driver, Safe Passenger and Safe Pedestrian workshops to 1000 students across Milton Keynes. 

We also continued our partnership with Bonanza, funded by Cadent to deliver engaging workshops in schools on the subject of gas safety.

## **SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LTD** TRUSTEES’ REPORT 

Our current three year partnership with Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue concludes in October 2025, however, they have confirmed an extension and we continue to cultivate this long term collaborative approach to reducing preventable accidents and casualties in the community. 

A steady pipeline of grant applications continued to aligned Trusts and Foundations, and there is ambition to grow corporate sponsors and partners under the new leadership. 

We recognise the external funding environment is highly competitive and the Board remain committed to identifying new ways of generating income for the charity. 

We have continued to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, media and dignitaries to raise the profile of the charity throughout the year. 

Our volunteers remain an integral part of the charity’s ability to impact so many people each year, with the value of their time calculated as £100,000 over the year. 

A total of 9,798 children visited Hazard Alley. 

The education team delivered 782 funded workshops to 21,705 children in schools across Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and Bedfordshire, focusing on the prevention of knife crime, violence against women and girls, and anti-social behaviour. 

In addition, the team delivered a further 123 workshops as part of full-day visits to Hazard Alley, reaching an additional 3,665 children. These sessions provided enhanced learning on online safety and the dangers associated with drugs and alcohol. 

Overall, a total of 35,168 interventions were delivered to support and empower young people in making safer choices and navigating hazardous or potentially harmful situations. 

## **Acknowledgement** 

We take this opportunity to thank all our funders, partners and sponsors, our dedicated team of volunteers, board of trustees, and wonderful staff team for their commitment, support, and dedication in keeping children and young people safe. 

## **Governance** 

Chief Executive of five years, Maya Joseph-Hussain left the charity in June 2025 and the board appointed Laurena Robinson as successor. The board of Trustees continued to work closely with the CEO to ensure robust management of the charity and monitored the implementation of strategic priorities for the year. Detailed forecasts for the coming year have been prepared, and in a challenging environment, the Board continue to review operations to ensure operational longevity. 

The Finance Manager resigned from the charity in May 2025 and an independent bookkeeper was appointed to manage invoicing and cash flow budgets. The board took an active role in managing the monthly cash flow position and ensuring a healthy income budget.

## **SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LTD** TRUSTEES’ REPORT 

## **Plans for future period** 

Our focus remains on: 

- Providing informed and impactful education to thousands of children, young people and adults across Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire, and surrounding counties. 

- Evaluating and enhancing our programme of education workshops, ensuring it is relevant, informed and connected to the changing needs of our community. 

- Increasing our community engagement and profile by working closer with schools, partners, organisations and the wider community. 

- Identifying innovative safety solutions to diversify our safety offer. 

- Creating a sustainable financial model safeguarding the future of the charity. 

The Board of Trustees are committed to supporting the strategic development of the Safety Centre charity and ensuring its financial sustainability. 

## **Reserves policy** 

At 30th September 2025 the Trust had unrestricted funds of £36,960 and restricted funds of £44,745. The intention of the Trustees is to operate with a minimum of two months reserves at any time, with the view to increase this to three months in the next two years as we expect to build greater financial resilience. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have identified a material uncertainty in relation to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern arising from forecast cash flow pressures over the forthcoming period particularly from an impending rent increase. The trustees have undertaken a detailed review of the Company’s projected cash flows and financial position and have implemented a number of measures to strengthen liquidity and reduce operating costs, including staff restructuring, renegotiation of consultancy and IT contractual commitments, and ongoing discussions regarding rental costs and alternative premises options. Having considered these factors, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Safety Centre (Hazard Alley) Ltd is a company limited by guarantee. It is also a charity registered in England and Wales. It is governed by its Articles of Association, last revised in 2006. The Articles of Association set out the charitable purposes for our work. 

The Board of Trustees, elected by the charity’s Members at the Annual General Meeting, are the charity’s Trustees and the legal Directors of the company. Members of the Board of Trustees serve a three-year term, after which they are eligible for re-election. 

New Trustees are nominated by the Board to represent the range of skills needed by the organisation in business, finance, education, marketing, communication and by representatives of the emergency services – fire and rescue and police. New appointees are given an induction pack plus a personal induction programme. The balance of Trustees is kept under review to make sure there is a range of skills and diversity. The Board of Trustees met four times for scheduled meetings in 2024-25 and additional monthly meetings were commenced from September 2025 to ensure vigilant oversight of cash flow forecast under new leadership.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have identified a material uncertainty in relation to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern arising from forecast cash flow pressures over the forthcoming period particularly from an impending rent increase. The trustees have undertaken a detailed review of the Company’s projected cash flows and financial position and have implemented a number of measures to strengthen liquidity and reduce operating costs, including staff restructuring, renegotiation of consultancy and IT contractual commitments, and ongoing discussions regarding rental costs and alternative premises options. Having considered these factors, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements 

## **Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

**SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LTD** NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the conditions for receipt have been met, and there is probability of receipt. 

Voluntary donations are recognised on receipt when the donation relates to the current accounting period. Donated assets and services received in kind are recognised at their monetary value, as estimated by the trustees, when received and donated assets are capitalised at this value. 

All other income is recognised on an accruals basis. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure incurred on activities falling directly within one cost category have been recognised as such. Items of expenditure which involved more than one category have been allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Assets with a value of less than £300 are expensed on acquisition. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of valuation of assets on a straight line basis over their useful lives on the following bases: 

|Leasehold improvements|over length of lease|
|---|---|
|Office equipment|3 years|
|Fixtures & fittings|7 years|
|Scenario equipment|3 years|



## **Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

**Charity No. 1019093** 

**SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LTD** NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 

## **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. 

## **Basic financial assets** 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounts at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## **Basic financial liabilities** 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Derecognition of financial liabilities** 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged and cancelled. 

## **Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

## **2) Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

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 considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underling assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision where the revision affects both current and future period. 

The charity benefits greatly from the involvement and enthusiast support of many of its volunteers. In accordance with FRS102 and the Charities SORP (FRS102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognized in the accounts. 

The charity is reliant on a team of trained and skilled volunteers, who give their time, passion and enthusiasm to take children on tours of the education centre and support our charity operations. The Trustees are very grateful for the ongoing support and commitments of our volunteers.
