Vvhilst the trustees seek to distribute all income arising in the year, there is no requirement for them to do so, either under charity law or the governing document. Instead, they have the power to accumulate all or any part of the income as an accretion to the underlying Trust Fund. to provide greater benefit in the future. Grant Making Policies The current mission statement for the Foundation is: "To help young people with potential but poor prospects transform their lives by fostering their desire and confidence to learn, achieve and earn, in order to help transform our world for the better." To achieve this, the Foundation is looking to partner with a small number of charities and for the partnerships to be long term and ambitious. Historically, the trustees, grant making policies were guided by the intentions of the original Founders of the Foundation. Following Ihe deaths of the Founders, the trustees have transilioned the objectives of the Foundation to focus on education, but remain conscious of the intentions of the Founders as the Foundation moves forward. Note 4 provides a breakdown of the individual grants. The trustees undertake full due diligence on all possible grant recipients prior to a grant being paid. Statement of Public Benefit As a grant-funder, the Foundation's activities will provide public benefit to the individuals and communities who are beneficiaries of the Foundation's funded projects. The Foundation's public benefit is not limited with reference to geography, by the charging of fees or otherwise. The trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit and confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to rt.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charltable Actlvltles Direct charitable expenditure for 2024 totalled £4,825,576 (2023 £5,657,607), represented by donations to 27 organisations (2022 - 23) and the charity's governance costs. During the year the largest individual commitment was £1.375 million awarded to support National Numeracy over 4 years. A full list of the direct charitable grants made during the year is set out in note 4 (page 17). When agreeing to support a charity for a period of more than one year, a grant agreement is prepared. stating that future tranches of funding will only be paid on receipt of satisfactory financial statements and impact reporting. However, where multi-year commitments are with established partners and full due diligence has been undertaken, the trustees have accounted for the full commitment in the year in which it was agreed.

Page 7 THE JORDAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR TO 31 DECEMBER 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued) Rlsk Management A risk assessment has been performed during the preparation of this report and the Financial Statements. The risk assessment undertaken comprises ot. A review of the risks the Foundation faced during the period, since the period end and which it may face in the future., The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigale those risks., and The implementation of procedures designed lo minimise any potential impact on the Foundation should those risks materialise. This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the Foundation. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due and active management of trade debtors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital by the Foundation. The trustees have signed fit and proper declarations in line with HMRC guidance. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The Trustees continue to identify potential strategic partners to further their objectives, as well as continuing discussions with existing partners with respect to providing additional support.

Page 8 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JORDAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Opinion We have audited the financial statements of the Jordan Charitable Foundation (the 'Foundation') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, cashflow statement and the notes to the financial statements. including a summary of significant accounling policies. The financial reporting framework thal 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 ACpted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the Foundation's affairs as at 31 Dember 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of reSoUrs, foi 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 (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Audrtorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Foundation in accordanGe 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 relatlng to golng concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, 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 Foundation's ability to continue as a going conrn for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. other information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomiation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, 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.
Page 9 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JORDAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (continued) Matters on whlch we are requlred to report by exceptlon 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 financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees, report., or sufficient accounting records have not been kept" or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the Trustees are 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 Trustees determine 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 Trustees are responsible for assessing the Foundation's ability to continue as a going COnrn, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend lo cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responslbllltles for the audlt of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordan with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan with ISAS (UK) 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. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at= https'.IfvMw.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. We obtain and update our understanding of the entrty, its activities. its control environment, and likely future developments. including in relation lo the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
Page 10 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JORDAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (continued) In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud. we designed procedures which included.. Enquiry of management and those charged with governance afound actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud; Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection" Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations,. and Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of signrficant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instsnces of non-complian. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Use of our report This report is made solely to the Foundation's trustees, 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 Foundation's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors, 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 Foundation and the Foundation's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report. or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial ststements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity- Fixed Asset Investments Investments are included at closing mid-market value (excluding any accrued interest). Realised gains and losses on investments are recognised as they arise and any gain or loss on revaluation is tsken to the ststement of Financial Activities. The determination of any gains and losses are calculated by reference to the value of such assets at the beginning of the accounting period. Incomlng resources All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income from interest bearing deposit accounts is recorded as and when received only. Resources expended Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation lo pay for expenditure. Direct charitable expenditure comprises grants and donations made during the year together with the recognition of certain comtnitments made by the trustees. Governance costs are included within charitable expenditure. These costs relate to the general running of the Foundation as opposed to the management functions inherent to generating funds. Such costs can include external audit, legal advice and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Page 15 THE JORDAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 DECEMBER 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contlnued) Debtors and creditors receivable I payable within one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised as expenditure. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts. when applicable, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. Cash held by investment managers for investing is treated as part of the investment portfolio. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the charty has an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outhow of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. Grants payable (note 10) are recognised at present value, where settlement is due over more than one year at the Balance Sheet date, there are no unfulfilled conditions under the control of the trust performance that would permit the trust to avoid making the future payment(s). settlement is probable and the effect of discounting is material. The discount rate used is a rate of 4.75 % and is regarded by the trustees as providing the most current available estimate of the cost of money reflecting the time value of money to the trust. Status of funds The entire resources of the Charity are unrestricted and the trustees have complete discretion for their use in furtherance of the objectives. Taxation The Foundation is not subject to any taxes on its charitable activities. Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going conrn basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements. The forecast income and resepies are sufficient to cover all of the budgeted expenditure to be able to continue as a going concern. The current ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the Tesulting high energy costs and other cost inflating factors have affected the global economy. The continuing rise in the Bank of England base interest rates is likely to have a negative impact on the investments held by the Foundation. Having considered the contingency plans in place and having reviewed updated cashflow forecasts, the trustees consider the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements continues to be appropriate.
Page 16 THE JORDAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 DECEMBER 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Judgements and key sources of estimated uncertainty In preparing these financial statements. the trustees have to make judgements on how to apply the Charity's accounting policies and make estimates aboutthe future. The critical judgements that have been made at arriving at the amounts recognised in the financial statements and the key areas of estimation uncertainty that has a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the next financial year, are discussed below: Liabilities falling due after more than 1 year i) The trustees have assumed an applicable discount rate (interest rate) of 4.75% per annum at 31 December 2024 to discount the future cash flows relating to grants payable to the present value. A higher discount rate would result in a lower discounted liability value being presented as a liabilty. A lower discount rate would result in a higher discounted liability value being presented as a liability in these financial staternents; and ii) have estimated the grant payment dates based on their expectation of when the recipient will call on the cash. A longer period would result in a higher discount and a lower liability value being presented as a liability in these financial statements. A shorter period would result in a lower discount and a higher liability value being presented as a liability in these financial statements.
