TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Achievements and performance Hull University
The funds have been used to support local students, EU students, and students from international developing countries who have unforeseen financial difficulties and hardships during their studies at the University of Hull.
The students had reached out due to their unexpected or unforeseen personal circumstances directly to the Financial Support Team or were referred to our service by other support teams within the University.
Other student recipients were identified as eligible for the funds upon receipt of their applications for Hardship Funds, where it became apparent that they were suffering from extreme hardship and met the criteria for this Fund.
Our service continues to identify, and respond to, a significant number of student cases where students do not have immediate funds available to them for food and essentials and are without alternative means of support. The purchase of supermarket e-vouchers from these funds has contributed significantly to the delivery of in-the-moment support for students in extremely vulnerable circumstances, to ensure immediate needs can be met until ongoing support and assessment of wider needs are considered. The vouchers purchased are Select essentials grocery e- vouchers, giving students in immediate need a choice of supermarkets to allocate the voucher to, therefore enabling students without funds to travel, and those with dependents, a broader choice to meet their needs.
Grocery e-vouchers purchased from these funds in February 2025 were distributed effectively and are recorded below. An additional sum of vouchers was also purchased from this fund at the beginning of the 25/26 academic year, which continues to support students who meet the criteria for this Fund when they evidence that they cannot meet their immediate needs for food and essentials. The demand for support of this nature is particularly high later into Trimester (November/December) for all students, and ongoing for international students experiencing unforeseen circumstances after enrolment resulting in emergency support needs, and the contributions to our support packages for 25/26 will make a positive difference to our offering.
The Financial Support Team form part of the Student Wellbeing & Success remit, which also includes specialists in mental health, disability and inclusion, and neurodivergence support. The model in which we operate - as a one team, collaborative approach to supporting our students - has this year enabled us to consider specific support in one case this year, with contributions to the purchase of specialist equipment for a blind student with limited funds available to them. The donor’s permission to take this approach ensured efficiency of approach to supporting the student in need in this case.
Benefit to students
Each student recipient’s case was means-tested and consideration was paid to the students’ circumstances and evidence submitted (including bank statements and other evidence). This meant that the award amount approved to the student was meaningful and agreed based on the individual student’s needs. The emphasis continues to be on extreme hardship, with majority of students facing significant hardships and/or unforeseen exceptional personal circumstances that impact on their finances, wellbeing, and engagement with their studies. Students were paid following receipt of feedback as outlined at the end of this report.
Having the e-vouchers allowed us to respond immediately to cases in which extreme hardship was identified, where the students were unable to afford to look after themselves and any dependents, and in some cases were hungry and had gone without food/were skipping meals. In other cases, vouchers were administered alongside funds, or as interim support to ensure the students’ immediate needs were met.

Benefit to University of Hull
Facing extreme and unforeseen financial hardship impacts our students’ ability to focus on their studies, to thrive and progress, and hinders their overall wellbeing and success.
Our various support teams and services work collaboratively across the university to ensure that students facing crises, including financial difficulties, are supported in the best and most efficient way. These funds have assisted us in addressing exceptional financial difficulties where otherwise progression with their studies would be hindered.
Additionally, the ability to take a flexible and efficient approach with the ways in which we can offer support from this Fund has been extremely valuable. The vouchers offer in-the-moment help in times of crisis, allowing us to address immediate needs alongside supporting the students holistically. For this year, your (the Donor) approval to us purchasing equipment for a blind student, who otherwise would not have been able to engage with their studies having arrived in the UK from a developing country to study, has again made valuable contributions to the personcentred approach to our service delivery that we strive for.

Financial review
The financial statements are set out elsewhere in this report.
During the year under review the Company has a surplus of income over expenditure of £1,510 leaving the company with net assets of £1,157,929.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Structure, governance and management
The charity was established by a charitable trust deed on 25th January 1958 and registered with the Charity Commissioners as a charity on 13th July 1994.

N D EDUCATIONAL TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
N D Educational Trust is a charity.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
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 £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.7 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, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
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 discounted 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 or cancelled.
1.8 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

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 underlying 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 and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
