This report includes the directors' report as required by company law.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Strategic objectives
The Foundation focuses on breaking the cycle of violence, through its non-formal learning programmes designed to create networks of agents for change. The Foundation's aim is to help people and communities to Prevent, Resolve and Respond to their conflicts, by breaking the cycle of violence.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the year - key activities and achievements
Response programmes - supporting victims of terrorism
This programme is funded by the Home Office Victims Terrorism Unit, and covers the costs of two full time employees, and referrals to specialist providers where needed. During the year the VTU team staged events and provided specialist training to external organisations involved in providing support to victims.
Prevention programmes
All programmes delivered this year have featured elements of work to prevent future conflicts, resolve current issues, and respond to the needs of those affected.
Prevent focused programmes delivered in 2024-25, include:
1) Small Steps for Peace - for Key Stage 2 primary school children, to deliver a workshop to parents and teachers around conflict resolution, followed by classroom sessions for the children.
2) Tiny Steps for Peace - for Key Stage 1 primary school children, based on a board game to encourage positive relationships for lower primary aged children and encourage ideas of conflict resolution at an early age.
3) We Come in Peace - a programme for Key Stage 2 primary children in smaller groups identified during Small Steps, as needing more support during transition to secondary education.
4) One to one support - working in Primary education with some of the most vulnerable young people in order to signpost to other agencies for the most appropriate support.
5) Holding Difficult Conversations - teacher training to help fulfil obligations to prevent young people from being drawn into extremism. The programme develops confidence and competence in engaging successfully in dialogue, and tools and tips to de-escalate and manage tension.
6) Tim Parry Leadership Development Programme - to equip young people with the skills and opportunity to become ambassadors for peace and agents for change by enhancing their Leadership skills and understanding of how we, as neighbours (Great Britain and the Island of Ireland), can develop positive future relationships. Provides the opportunity to interact with other young people from Warrington, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Funding
The Foundation has continued to deliver its "Steps" programmes in schools, predominantly in Liverpool and Warrington, funded by The Post Code Lottery, Liverpool City Council, Merseyside Police and L'Oreal. The programme builds resilience in school children and delivers trauma therapy where needed. This year we also included training for Teachers and Parents.
Resolution programmes
The Foundation is commissioned as a neutral third party, to help resolve conflict situations within communities, by facilitating dialogue within and between communities. An action plan is developed and tailored to meet the needs of each community, based upon an understanding of the context and relationships within the area. This plan identifies interconnected issues, challenges and opportunities, related to broad social trends, local provision and perceptions and realities.
Measuring performance
The Foundation receives funding from a variety of sources, each requiring differing levels of reporting in relation to outputs and Key Performance Indicators, usually on a quarterly basis. All the core programmes have met targets set by funders during the year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The Foundation's funding, both restricted and unrestricted, comes from a variety of sources. Major funding for this year came from the Home Office 'Victims of Terrorism Unit', various other commissioning authorities and major donors.
Reserves policy
We continuously monitor budgets and cashflow forecasting, with the aim of maintaining a minimum rolling six months funding. In the past 12 months, meeting this policy has been difficult (see Future Developments below).

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results for the year
The Foundation generated a deficit for the year of £252,627.
The balance sheet value has decreased due to the decrease in cash. Net assets at 31 March 2025 were £635,401. Total funds were made up of £1,866 of restricted funds and £633,535 of unrestricted funds. Unrestricted funds included £602,347 of designated funds in relation to the Peace Centre asset.
The charity's wholly owned subsidiary 'The Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace Centre Limited' traded profitably during the year and was able to gift £24,674 to the Foundation.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Throughout 2024 and 2025, the Foundation experienced very challenging trading circumstances and a diminished order book, with no indication that circumstances were going to improve. Based on these adverse circumstances, the Board agreed the CEO's recommendation to cease trading at March 31, 2025. As a result, all employed staff have been informed of their redundancy, with leaving dates based upon a phased wind down.
In the meantime, we continued with private hires from external businesses and public sector bodies, as well as the Home Office's 'VTU' programme until 31 March 2025 and the sale of the Peace Centre is concluded.
Pre-existing contracts such as the 3 years 'Tim Parry Scholarship' programme in conjunction with the Irish Government's Department of Foreign Affairs to work with young people from ROI, NI and GB, face to face and online, has been terminated at the end of the second year of the 3-year programme.
The Home Office contract for £62,500 to cover the costs of the Victims of Terrorism Unit programme from September 2024 to March 2025 ended with no renewal.
The Board had extensive discussions during 2024/25 about the status of the Foundation and solutions going forward. Lengthy discussions with Warrington Borough Council and the NSPCC, have led to an agreement to sell the Peace Centre for £1.34m, less legal / admin fees. The agreement to sell the Peace Centre was concluded on 28 April 2025.
The Board agreed to change the charity’s purposes from being a grant seeking organisation to become a grant making organisation, by using its share of the proceeds of the sale of the Peace Centre to help other charitable organisations with compatible aims & purposes.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, the Chair of Trustees is nominated by the Trustee Board. Up to 15 Trustees can sit on the Board at any one time. Trustees are appointed on an initial two-year basis, after which they can stand for re-election. Board membership is currently 10 trustees. When there are vacancies for Trustee positions or when the Board consider that there is a particular skill set that would be of benefit, the Foundation seeks new Trustees. Interested parties are asked to forward their CV to the Chairman. The Chairman and Chief Executive then review the CVs and those who have skills which would add to the makeup of the Board are invited for discussion. Following discussion, the Chairman circulates details of the proposed trustee to the Board and a vote is taken at the next board meeting as to whether to accept the applicant.
Induction and training of new trustees
New Trustees undergo an induction process to provide them with details of the aims and objectives of the Foundation. They are also provided with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the business strategy, details of our programmes and most recent reports and accounts. Trustees are also provided with a copy of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) Good Trustee Guide. An annual review process in relation to Board of Trustees effectiveness has now been established to support training and identify skills gaps.
Sub-committees of the Board of Trustees
The Finance Sub-committee reviews key financial documents, such as monthly accounts and annual budgets, and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Organisational structure
The Trustee Board administers the charity and meets every 8 weeks. A Chief Executive is appointed by the Trustees to oversee and promote the activities of the Foundation. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive has delegated authority from the Trustee Board to propose strategy and deal with governance matters. The Chief Executive guides the execution of the business plan as well as undertaking risk management, with oversight of the operations of the charity and company.
Programme governance
Each major programme is governed by a Programme Management Team member to oversee all projects and their relationships with funders. The status and financial performance of each programme is reported to every Board meeting, and formal programme reviews are held every three months involving all programme team members.
The Foundation receives grants from European, Central and Local UK Government; however, its independence is paramount, and it ensures that any 'grant funding' relationship does not compromise its independence.
Communications
Although the Foundation increased its media and new media presence, with the appointment of a Marketing Manager, a new website, Twitter feed(s), LinkedIn and Facebook pages and numerous other social media activity, there was no significant upturn in business activity or income. This post was terminated in September 2024.
Strategic partnerships
The Foundation, whilst being independent, holds regular dialogue with Government to understand direction and influence policy. The Foundation is a recognised 'Prevent' service provider under framework and grant agreements.
The Foundation maintains relationships with the UK's Home Office and the Northern Ireland Office, the Irish Government's Department of Foreign Affairs as well as Police and Crime Commissioners. Politically, the Foundation is nonaligned and has worked with successive UK Governments since its formation in 1995. We remain independent and engage with members and representatives of all political parties.
Data Capture, Retention and Use
A data management system is in use 'Monday' (CRM) as well as other online tools. Files are stored securely, either in the cloud using Office 365 software, or on a shared drive with folders structured to give user specific password-protected access. The Foundation is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and is compliant with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations.
Related parties
The objective of the charity's wholly owned subsidiary, the Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace Centre Ltd. is to generate income from room hires in the building.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
The Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation Ltd is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number, registered charity number and registered office can be found in the Reference and Administrative Details section of the Report of the Trustees.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling (£) and transactions are rounded to the nearest £.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.
The financial statements contain information about Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation Ltd as an individual charity and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006, and appendix 3 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102) from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements.
Going concern
The charity meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash resources. The charity reached an agreement to sell the Peace Centre building to Warrington Borough Council. The sale was legally completed on 28 April 2025. The current economic conditions in the Country and across the charity sector continue to create uncertainty over the level of funding available for the charity's programmes, particularly from central government.
The Trustees have prepared forecast and projections to September 2026, which show that the charity should be able to operate within the level of its cash resources following the proceeds of sale from the Peace Centre. The projections show that the charitable company should have adequate resources to meet its financial obligations for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
a. Key accounting estimates and assumptions
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below
i. Recoverable amount of freehold property
Annually, the charity considers whether fixed assets are impaired, specifically the freehold property. Where an indication of impairment is identified the estimation of the recoverable value requires estimation of the recoverable value of the property. This requires estimation of the future cash flows from the sales of the building.The trustees can foresee no reasonably possible scenario which would see the recoverable amount to be lower than the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
In the year to 31 March 2023 the carrying value of the freehold property was impaired to its recoverable amount, calculated by reference to the fair value less costs to sell.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. All income is derived from ordinary activities and stated after trade discounts, any sales taxes.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Income
Goods and services donated to the charity are recognised as both income and expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities at their estimated market value.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.When there are specific performance conditions which have not been satisfied, the income is deferred.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Development costs are being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 33% on cost Land is not depreciated.
At the year-end, the charity assesses whether there is an indication that the tangible fixed assets may be impaired. If there is an indication that an asset is impaired, then it’s recoverable amount is estimated, with an impairment loss recognised if the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell the asset and its value in use.
In view of the ongoing negotiations to sell the land and buildings, an impairment review was performed in the prior year and the carrying value reduced to its recoverable amount, calculated by reference to the fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses are recognised as expenditure in the statement of financial activities and charged to the heading under which the asset is deployed.
Fixed asset investments
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost, together with subsequent capital contributions, less any provisions for impairment.
Investments are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. impairments are calculated such that the carrying value of the fixed asset investment is the lower of its cost or recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its net realisable value and its value in use.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds (including both general and designated funds) can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
