Focussing on ability not disability As a charity, we pride ourselves on placing the children, young people, and adults we care for at the heart of everything we do. Hollybank's ethos is about focussing on ability, not disability and we know that providing exceptional care is about more than just meeting people's daily needs. We continue to give people the opportunity to explore their interests and enjoy life. We would like to extend our gratitude to friends and family for their unwavering support.

Living We have ten residential homes across Yorkshire, providing 24/7 care for people with a range of profound and multiple disabilities and sensory impairment5. Seven of these home5 are on our site in Mirfield, one is in Holmfirth, one in Barnsley and one near Wakefield. We have a total of 95 beds acr055 our 8 adult residential homes, and a total of 15 beds across our 2 children's residential and short break homes. We work with over 40 Local Authorities / Integrated Care Boards (ICBS). The people we care for have complex physical disabilities and associated communication, sensory and learning difficulties and our dedicated staff team is specially trained to support a range of complex medical conditions. Our in-house Therapy team work across the Trust with children, young people, and adults. Tasks are completed collaboratively with the wider multidisciplinary team and families to achieve person centred goals, meet health and wellbeing needs, and to enable everyone to participate fully in their daily life. The Speech and Language Therapy team (including Assistive Technology) train support staff and work therapeutically across areas such as communication, autonomy, environmental control, safe eating and drinking, and behaviour support. The Physiotherapy team facilitate Hydrotherapy and rebound Therapy sessions at our purpose-built Bradbury Centre on our Mirfield site. They work closely with the residential services to assess and provide equipment for 24-hour postural management as well as encouraging ability and mobility with children, young people, and adults. The Occupational Therapy team support individuals to improve their independence skills, access essential tasks and engage in meaningful activities throughout their day. This is completed through assessment, provision of equipment, teaching/practising skills with individuals, training support staff and other therapeutic input. We use a digital care planning system provided by Person-centred Software (PCS) in our residential serrfices. The PCS system has completely replaced paper care notes and care plans. It enables in-the-moment care recording by our sUPPOrt staff and access to care plans through a handheld device. The system ensures there are prompts for any tasks required and provides a dashboard so that managers can review the care provided in real time. It has significantly improved record keeping and the management of care services. Positive behaviour support {PBS) is a person-centred framework for providing long-term support to people who have, or may be at risk of developing, behavioural needs. It is a blend of person-centred values and behavioural science and uses evidence to inform decision-making. Behaviours that challenge happen for a reason and may be the person's only way of communicating. PBS helps u5 understand the reason (function) for the behaviour so we can better meet people's needs, enhance their quality of life and reduce the likelihood that the behaviour will happen. At Hollybank, we promote proactive strategies to reduce likelihood of behavioural escalation, taking into account individual needs and wishes, including trauma informed care approaches and active support to promote independence and choice for those we support. We also train our teams in reactive strategies to ensure the safety of all and that the support is offered in the least restrictive way and in the persons, best interests. Most of the people who we support use wheelchairs to move around and use a variety of different ways to communicate. Our services are wheelchair accessible, although vary in layout and have outdoor Spaces to explore and enjoy the seasons to promote positive wellbeing. We provide person centred support that is individual to each person and promotes quality of life, encouraging full participation in every aspect of life. For example, in our residential environments this is about fully involving children, young people, and adults in making important choices about the decoration and furnishing of their home, encouragement to participate in completing laundry and getting stuck into cooking and baking.

A ML55Afj& f..- L As I prepare to hand over to the next Chair of Hollybank Trust it is a moment to reflect on my eight years in the role. l am extremely proud to be handing over a well-run organisation, with strong, capable management and a highly committed, loyal team of colleagues who provide excellent care and education day in day out for the many children, young people and adults with profound disabilities who depend on our services, amongst them my own daughter who has been part of the Trust for more than twenty years. Like all charities and organisations in the care sector we continue to face financial challenges amidst a broken social care system, but in the post Covid years we have made some good progress in strengthening our own resilience. We have significantly improved staff retention, reducing our reliance on agency staff, and worked hard alongside our commissioners to ensure that our placements are properly funded. We have successfully transitioned to a digital care system in all of our services, which means our care staff spend less time on paper¥vork and more time on the person-centred care we pride ourselves in providing. This year we welcomed new colleagues into the Hollybank family, investing in an organisation providing high quality supported living, outreach and day care in the Halifax area. This brings new areas of expertise to our organisation, as well as helping us to grow to a more optimal size to manage our overheads. I would like to thank all my fellow Trustees for the time and wide range of expertise they give voluntarily to help the Trust thrive and the support they have given to me and continue to give to our Executive team. l am delighted that my successor, Jane Raca, is also a parent of a young adult who lives at Hollybank and I wish her all the best for the next phase of the organisation's development. Clare Morrow Exiting Chair of Trustee Directors Hollybank Trust Report and Accounts 2024 12025
As we reflect on the last year, l am immensely proud of what Hollybank Trust has achieved in the first year of our #TeamHollybonk strategic plan. Despite the ongoing challenges facing social care and education, our teams have continued to deliver exceptional, person-centred support that truly embodies our ethos: Quality of life, for life. This year, we have taken bold steps to advance our sustainability plans, most notably through the acquisition of D.D.H. Services Ltd, trading as Community Support SeNices {CSS) in Calderdale. This Strategic move strengthens our regional presence and ensures we can offer a more diverse range of services to people with learning disabilities in the Yorkshire area. CSS joined the Hollybank Group in February 2025. The financial pressures affecting our sector continue to be a huge challenge. Rising employer costs, particularly the increase in National Insurance Contributions, have placed additional strain on already tight budgets, Yet, through careful stewardship and the commitment of our staff, we have continued to invest in quality, innovation, and growth. want to extend my sincere thanks to every member of the Hollybank team. The dedication, compassion, and resilience shown by all our staff is the foundation of everything we do. Whether working directly with the people we support or behind the scenes, all contributions are deeply valued and make a difference, every day. As we look ahead, we are preparing for a change within our governance when our Chair of Trustees, Clare Morrow, will retire later this year. Clare's leadership over the last 8 years has been instrumental in assisting us through very difficult times for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, and shaping our direction as we recovered from the pandemic to be faced with the cost of living cri515 and energy price hikes. We are so grateful to Clare for her many years of seNice to Hollybank as a Chair, a Trustee and as a School Governor before that, Transition plans are well underway with our Chair Elect, ensuring continuity and strong oversight into the future. Together, we remain committed as #TeamHollybank to delivering outstanding care and education, guided by our values and inspired by the children, young people and adults we support.

ptspQ Recruitment- and retention Our staff team is over 600 people strong, and they provide care, education and therapy for more than 150 vulnerable children, young people, and adult5. There are easier places to work than Hollybank, but few are as rewarding. Most of the team are front-line support workers, responsible for the day-to-day care of the children, young people, and adults who live with us. Staff turnover rates within the social care sector usually sit at around 25% in England but due to the work we do to retain staff and make Hollybank a great place to work, our turnover is at 15% which is significantly below the sector norms. In our annual staff survey, staff engagement increased again to 61.7% this year from 57.5% last year. Headline results showed that 88% of those staff said they would recommend us to friends and family, up from 82% last year.

We continue to evolve our recruitment process to better engage with people who are looking for a role at Hollybank.

Scarecrow Festival In September 2024, the Roe Head gardens at our Mirfield site blossomed into a garden of magical scarecrows, opening the door to a field day of fun, team rapport and mind- blowing creations. Scarecrows were created using old clothing, upcycled clothing, natural materials such as hay and dried leaves, donated materials from the local community, paints, old food tins and cans, wrappers and old cardboard boxes. Using these sustainable materials to build scarecrows not only has the best interests of the planet at heart, but it also adds to their rustic charm. Hollybank Trust Report and Accounts 2024 12025
11 Sensory circus at Hollybank school Hollybank school retained its 'Outstanding' Statu5 in their latest inspection in March 2024. We decided to invite our pupils, families of pupils and members of local community groups to a small party to celebrate this outstanding outcome together.

Christmas celebrations At Hollybank, Christmas is an excuse for us to get-together and celebrate, with many of the homes hosting their own events and activities for the people who we support and their families, and friends from other Hollybank homes too. When Christmas rolls around each year, there are plenty of opportunities to have so much fun with new activities. In addition to each of the homes hosting their own Christmas parties, the cherry on top of the Christmas cake is that each team also specially sets up their own rise and shine Christmas mornings, relaxed seasonal craft afternoons, and moonlit festive winter evenings, making each of these events their own. One new event that was added to our Christmas calendar this year was the Santa Tractor Rally which was extremely well received by our children, young people and adults.

School governance Our School Governing Body has delegated responsibility for the running of the school. The Governors consists of at least one Trustee Director, as well as five school governors. They work within detailed articles and instruments of governance. For the period l April 2024- 31 March 2025, governor meetings were conducted face to face and via Teams. Our school is formally registered and recognised as a non-maintained special school. The school was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2024 and previously in 2018. Our two separate children's homes, Orchard Court and Brambles, provide accommodation for some of the school children, the remaining children who attend our school are day students, although some children may access our short break respite provision in the children's homes. Orchard Court was inspected in August 2024 by Ofsted and was rated as Good. Brambles wa5 inspected in May 2025 and was a150 rated Good. The skills represented on the Governing Body are education, health, business, social care, Local Authority representatives and the voluntary sector. We have two parent governors and a teacher governor to represent the school staff. Six link governors are appointed to monitor the quality of each area of the Ofsted framework.. Leadership and Management, Quality of Teaching and Learning, Pupil Outcomes, Personal Development and Wellbeing, Behaviour & Safety and Early Years. The link governors report to the Governing Body quarterly and a summary of their findings is taken to the Quality Committee as appropriate by the Chair of Governors, who is also a Trustee Director. Risk management The trustees and executive management of the Trust believe that sound risk management is integral to both good management and good governance practice. Risk management forms an integral part of the Trust's decision making and is incorporated within strategic and operational planning. Risk assessment is conducted on all new activities and projects to ensure they are in line with the Trust's objectives and mission. Any risks or opportunities arising are identified, analysed, and reported at an appropriate level. A risk register covering economic, governance, strategic and reputational, operational, compliance and financial risks is maintained by the executive and senior management team and updated at least four times a year and more frequently where risks are known to be volatile. A risk report is made to the trustee board each quarter detailing the high concern risks, rising risk5, reducing risks, new risks and emerging risks, The Trust operates comprehensive risk management processes through its various committees. It is a regular agenda item on the executive team meetings,. monthly meetings of the joint executive and senior management teams. quarterly meetings of the resources committee; and quarterly meetings of the trustee board. The main elements of the Trusvs systems of internal financial control include the following: Clearly defined management responsibilities and levels of authority, with formal policies for the approval and control of expenditure. Detailed financial control policies and procedure5 approved by the resource5 committee. Regular review of performance and monthly financial reports, comparing actual results with forecasts and changes in expected outcomes including key performance indicators IKPlsl. An external annual review of financial controls and processes is carried out, which include5 a more in- depth look at the financial procedures relating to a specific area of the Trust. A report from this annual review, including recommendations about improvements, is made to the resources committee, which considers the outcomes as part of the process of satisfying the adequacy of the systems of internal financial controls. Hollybank Trust Report and Accounts 2024 12025
Comprehensive short- and medium-term planning process supported by detailed income, expenditure and cash flow projections. The trustees regularly review the risk management system to oversee the key risks to which the Trust is exposed and consequently mitigate any major risks. Key risks facing the Trust are: the management of serious incidents, safeguarding matters, regulatory compliance, health and safety, public sector funding and its impact on the number of people referred to Hollybank, reduction in occupancy levels of the residential homes, impact of the national living wage {NLW) and pension increases, inflationary pressures and significant rise in cost of living, the replacement of legacy IT systems, maintaining the ageing estate, recruitment and retention of staff, workforce planning and capacity. The Trust's policies for regulatory compliance, health and safety, incident reporting and safeguarding mitigate against the risks faced in this area. Strong budgetary control helps mitigate the financial risks the Trust faces, but it is widely known the challenges our sector is facing with regards to attracting and retaining staff, high agency costs, NLW increases and the impact on other rates of pay, increases in employer pension contributions, high utility and insurance costs as well as high inflation; whilst having to fight for appropriate funding to cover these costs. We have a Placement Panel which reviews referrals for our services to reduce the length of time we may have a vacant placement. We also promote staff wellbeing and have a wellbeing programme to support staff to have a great day at work and to assist where we can with lifestyle pressure5 andlor health conditions. The Trust also expect5 to meet minimum standards required by legislation and best practice in operational areas covering the following: IT and data protection; HR. Health and safety; Infection control. Governance; Quality. Financial accounting and reporting, etc. Regulatory bodies the Trust has to report to and comply with are the Charity Commission, Care Quality Commission ICQCI, Ofsted, Health & Safety Executive (HSE), HMRC and Information Commissioners Office IICO). Hollybank also has statutory reporting duties including reporting to the local safeguarding teams. Anything reported to these regulatory and/or statutory bodies are notified to trustees through the committee and board meetings. The risk of falling short of these standards is mitigated as far as possible by ensuring that appropriate policies and working practices are adopted in each of these key area5 and that staff are adequately experienced and trained to manage this. Where necessary, external advice is sought to supplement internal expertise.

The principal source of income comes from fees and charges, mainly from public bodies, for the educational, medical/therapeutic and residential services provided by the Trust. The Trust also receives certain direct grant funding from the Education Funding Agency, the Department of Education and Skills, legacies, donations from events and fundraising activities as well as major fundraising appeals for specific projects. We have continued to work hard with all our commissioners to ensure fees for our services are correctly aligned and to address the significant funding deficit. This hard work resulted in Hollybank being awarded an increase in fees of approximately £lm compared to the previous year, equating to a 6% increase, however, this was not enough to cover the impact to staff costs of the increase in the National Living Wage {NLWI. The total incoming resources of the Trust for the year were £20,215k (2024.. £19,003kJ, demonstrating a 6.4% increase of £1,212k. Included within this are incoming resources from charitable activities which have increased by 7.5Yo to £19,924k (2024.. £18,541kJ, the main reasons being: Residential seNices income has increased by £1,086k to £17,652k12024.. £16,566k), approximately £1,653k due to annual fee uplifts, fee recovery work and the annualised impact of residents who joined the Trust in 2023/24; offset by lower occupancy levels at an estimated cost to the Trust of £567k. School income has increased by £121k to £1,737k (2024.. £1,616k) due to an increase in school pupils and grants received. Enrichment and Bradbury Centre income has increased by £175k to £535k12024., £359k) due to higher occupancy levels and an uplift in fees. Income from legacies and donations has decreased by £184k to £33k (2024.. £217kJ due mainly to a one-off unrestricted donation received last year from the Bradbury Foundation Hong Kong of £150k. Investment income has decreased by £37k to £26k (2024.. £63k) due to lower interest earned on deposits, savings account and interest receivable from a swap arrangement coming to an end in March 2024. Other income has increased by £51k to £232k (2024.. £181k) mainly due to digital care grants received for the full year and increased café income. The cost of raising donation5 and legacy income was £19k {2024.' £15k). There have been no fundraising events in the year. The cost of charitable activities for the year was £19,862k (2024.. £18,482k), a 7.5% increase of £1,380k. The movement in costs is mostly made up of: Increase in staff costs {including support services) of £1,543k d14e to the 9.8% increase in the National Living Wage in April 2024 and associated oncosts, and costs to maintain relevant differentials across the different pay grades; £lm spend on agency (2024.. £1.Im) to cover staff absences and vacant frontline posts which continues to be a challenge for the sector; offset by staffing vacancies. Reduction in other direct costs of £114k largely due to savings in energy costs of £81k as a result of lower contracted unit costs. Reduction in other support costs of £26k mainly due to a reduction in licence costs for the HR system which we replaced during the year. Reduction in depreciation and other sundry costs of £24k due to a reduction in legal and professional costs. Net income for the financial year is £334k (2024.. £476k), demonstrating a decrease of £142k. The balance sheet shows that at 31 March 2025, the total funds of the Trust were £31,323k (2024.. £30,991kJ. The increase of £332k is predominantly due to the acquisition of D.D.H. Services Ltd. (see note 10), which was mainly financed with a 10 year bank loan. Cash at bank and in hand was £1,475k (2024.. £2,170k). Hollybank Trust Report and Accounts 2024 12025
Investments The Trustee Directors have responsibility for Trust investments, to act in accordance with the Trustees Act 2000, and the Trust's own investment policy. They regularly consider the appropriateness of Trust investments and it is the current policy of the Trustee Directors to hold endowed funds in a suitable investment fund to produce an appropriate mix of income and capital growth. The endowed funds are invested in COIF Charities Investment Fund- Income Units, managed by CCLA Investment Managers Ltd. The value of investments at 31 March 2025 was £46k (2024.. £48kJ and the Trust received dividends of £lk (2024.. £lkJ in the year. The Trustee Directors consider that the investments met the set performance objectives. Hollybank owns 100% of the ordinary share capital in D.D.H. Services Ltd which is incorporated in England and Wales, and exists to raise funds for the company which is accounted for at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The value of the investment at 31 March 2025 was £3,621,192 (2024.. £Nil) a5 shown in note 10. Reserves policy At 31 March 2025, the Trust had free reserves of £5,165k (2024.. £1,530k). Free reserves are the unrestricted funds of the Trust, less the value of tangible fixed assets bought out of unrestricted funds, adjusted for any attributable long term financing. The Trust utilises reserves to finance significant investment in land, buildings, fixtures, fittings, vehicles and equipment in order to maintain and further develop the service level it provides. This development has continued with investment in the year of £509k (2024., £696k} in tangible fixed assets, spent mainly on residential home improvements, IT equipment replacement and a new HRn&wpayroll system," which was met from free reserves, voluntary income and loans. Reserves also provide for unexpected losses or unforeseen costs. Levels of income and expenditure are not usually subject to material fluctuations in the short term and can be forecast with a reasonable degree of certainty. The Trust ha5 in place Business Interruption insurance to cover certain risks. The Trustee Directors regularly review the level of resenies and currently believe £3.2m is the minimum required. At 31 March 2025, free reseNes totalled £5.2m which is above the minimum level on a risk-assessment basis. Hollybank Trust Report (Ind Accounts 202412025
Plans For Future periods The financial sustainability of our organisation remains a key priority as we continue to navigate significant challenges within the sector. Local Authorities ILAS) and Integrated Care Boards IICBS) are still under pressure with limited funding, which impacts their ability to meet the rising demand for services. While we continue to work closely with commissioners to secure appropriate funding, the financial pressures remain a concern, particularly as inflation and cost-of-living increases Outpace funding adjustments. The increase in the National Living Wage INLWI continues to have a significant impact on our cost base, particularly with regards to pay differentials between our teams. A5 we strive to attract and retain high- quality Staff, it is becoming increasingly challenging to balance pay acros5 different grades and roles. We are committed to ensuring that our pay structure remains fair, while continuing to focus on our effort5 to maintain a workforce that is both highly skilled and motivated. The announcement of an increase in Employerfs National Insurance Contributions in October 2024 has put an additional pressure on our financial situation. Additionally, the rising employer pension contribution costs present another challenge that we must address, as these increases add further pressure to our operating costs. These cost burdens, alongside the continued complexities of filling beds in both our children's and adult services, make our financial planning for the coming periods increasingly challenging. As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure lon8-term sustainability and efficiency, we will be undergoing a restructuring process in the coming year. While this decision has not been taken lightly, it is necessary to respond to the current financial pressures and to better align our resources with the future needs of the organisation. Unfortunately, this restructurin8 may result in some redundancies. We are committed to handling these changes with sensitivity and support for those affected, providing appropriate guidance, and ensuring that all steps are taken in a respectful and considerate manner. Despite these challenges, we are focused on growth opportunities. The recent acquisition of D.D.H. Services Ltd. marks an exciting step forward in ourjourney. This new business, with its potential for generating surpluses, will provide crucial support to the financial health of the Group and help balance the pressures we face in the core seNices. Looking ahead, we will continue to manage our resources with efficiency, while driving forward our strategy of quality and continuous improvement. We are dedicated to growing and expanding our services where possible, whilst remaining responsive to the changing needs of the sector and our stakeholders.

Opinion We have audited the financial statements of HollybankTrust forthe year ended 31 March 2025 which comprisethestatement of financial activities, balance sheet and cash flow statement and notes to the financial 5tatement5, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102. the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice- and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS {UKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK. including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Concluslons relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the Trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authori5ed for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The Trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditors. report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express anv form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doin8 so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially mi55tated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material rnisstatements. we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,. we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Hollybank Trust Report and Accounts 2024 12025
Matters on whlch we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: the information given in the Trustee's annual report 15 inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records: or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responslblllties of Trustee As explained more fully in the Trustee's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 26, the Trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the Trustee is responsible for assessing t.he charitws ability to continue as a going concern, disc105in& as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustee either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditors, responslbilltles for the audit of the flnanclal statements We have been appointed as auditors under the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors, report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The specific procedures for this en8a8ement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud are detailed below. Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities: We 355e55ed the susceptibility of the charivs financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the Trustee Directors, discussions within our audit team planning meetin& updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the charity by discussions with Trustee Directors and updatin8 our understandin8 of the sector in which the charity operates. Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the charity include the Charities Act 2011, the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, the Care Quality Commission, Ofsted and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Hollybonk Trust Report and Account5 2024 12025
Audit response to risks identlfled: We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the charity's records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the charity's policies and procedures for compliance with laws and re8ulations with members of management responsible for compliance. During the planning meeting with the audit team. the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual. suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partnerfs review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example. forgery or intentional misrepresentations. or through collusion. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or auditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charity's Trustee. as a body. in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trustee those matters we are required to state to it in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law. we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the Trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes (continued) Accounting policles (continued) Fixed assets and depreciation Depreciation is provided by the Trust to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives as follows: Freehold land Freehold buildings Equipment, fixtures and fittings Motor vehicles 2% per annum 20%- 33Yo per annum 12.5Yo- 25% per annum A policy of revaluation exists for freehold land and buildings. Valuations are performed by external valuation specialists on a rolling 5-year basis. A surplus on book value is transferred to unrestricted funds. A deficit is recognised when the book value exceeds Its valued amount. Such losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities unless it arises on a previously revalued asset. A deficit on a revalued asset is recognised from any aggregate surplus relating to that asset. Where there is no such surplus or if the carrying value may not be recovefable, and the deficit or impairment 15 deemed permanent, it is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities. Land and buildings in the course of construction or conversion are not depreciated until brought into use. Plant, equipment. furnishings, fixtures, fittings and other tangible fixed assets, with a value of less than £5.000. are written off as consumables in the year of purchase. Tangible fixed assets are subject to review on a regular basis to ensure that there has been no impairment and that the value included in assets is fair and reasonable. Leases Assets acquired under finance leases or hire purchase agreements are capitalised and the outstanding future obligations are shown in creditors. Operating lease rentals are chafged to the Statement of Financial Activities on 3 Straight line basis over the period of the lease. Hollybank Trust Report ond Accounts 2024 12025

The investments in subsidiary undertakings are initially measured at C05t and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. These investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses are reco8nised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Notes (continued) Accounting policles (continued) Baslc flnancial instruments: Trade and other debtors I credltors Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors.

Cash and cash equlvalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Other financial instrument5: Financial Instruments not considered to be baslc financial Instruments Other financial instruments not meeting the definition of Basic Financial Instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. Critical accounting estlmates 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 fartors considered to be relevant. 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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical estimates and depreciation of tanglble assets Depreciation policies have been set according to experience of the useful lives of the assets in each category and are reviewed annually. Expenditure is incurred on creating tangible fixed assets for use in the charity, with costs incurred over a number of months. The Trustees believe it is possible to segregate these costs into identifiable projects. and as such no depreciation is charged on that project until it is brought into use. Legacles Legacies are recognised as income when probate has been granted, the charity has established its entitlement to the funds and sufficient information is available to allow the measure of entitlement, and it is probable that funds are receivable.
