REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees (who are also directors of Hi Kent for purpose of company law) present herewith their Annual Report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

Legal and Administrative Details

The charity is a company limited by guarantee (company number 03132542, registered charity number 1052036). The charity is governed by the Memorandum & Articles of the company dated 21 November 1995. The Trustees, who comprise the Management Committee of the charity, are responsible for governance of the charity in accordance with the governing document, with dayto-day management delegated to the Chief Operating Officer.

Principal Activities and Policy Statement

Hi Kent’s aims and objectives are to provide people who are deaf, have hearing loss and/or tinnitus with information, assistive equipment and support required to maximise communication and enable them to live fulfilled lives socially and in employment. In line with these core values the principal activities of the company continue to be the assessment of the needs of people with a hearing loss on behalf of Kent County Council, and the provision of relevant advice, equipment services and support. Our support activities also include free lipreading classes, social groups, tinnitus support groups, community clinics for NHS hearing aid maintenance, deaf awareness classes, British Sign Language courses and suitable premises where equipment can be demonstrated to clients. Additionally we provide a Technology Support service to help people access the gadgets and technology available to help them with hearing loss. We also provide Ear Care services to help people to access low cost ear checks and wax removal via microsuction. Hi Kent’s objectives and activities are solely for the benefit of the public. The Trustees of Hi Kent have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.

According to the RNID one in three adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. Over half of the population aged 55 or more will have hearing loss and this rises to 80% of people over the age of 70. With a growing population in Kent, particularly in older people, the need for Hi Kent’s services increases year on year. Hearing loss can add to or worsen depression and dementia so its effects can have far reaching consequences. Looking after your hearing is therefore very important and will help to mitigate these risks.

Review of the Year

It was our fourth year of the Kent County Council Wellbeing Contract in which we are subcontracted to Kent Association for the Blind. We help around 8,000 people from the Kent County Council area per year through this work by providing information, advice, assessment of needs and provision of equipment. Our community clinics which provide NHS hearing aid maintenance are now back to pre-Covid pandemic levels, in 2024-2025 we saw nearly 30,000 people. Our Social Groups project has been given a lifeline by the National Lottery Community Fund awarding us a 5 year grant, year 2 starting 1[st] March 2025. The first half year funding for the year 2025-2026 is included in the accounts to 31[st] March 2025. This funding has enabled us to have stability for our social groups and to provide activities and information sessions. Our Lipreading courses and Tinnitus support groups continued to be offered free of charge helping people to cope with the issues they face and learn strategies to make their lives better.

The Ear Care Service is now well established with appointments being offered from both our centres and home visits available. Income for Ear Care in 2024-2025 is three times the previous year which is amazing. Our British Sign Language courses, Deaf Awareness Training and sale

HI KENT (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

of assistive equipment along with Ear Care have all brought in funds to help us to provide the other services free of charge to those that need them.

We have once again managed to get through the year with a manageable deficit. This is due to the many grant applications that we make throughout the year resulting in some of them being awarded and the generous donations we have received. Our Fundraising activities also continue to bring in much needed funds.

Financial Status

The steps taken in planning the budget for 2025 have helped to continue the financial health of the organization.

The actual revenue for 2025 was £574,282 (2024 was £563,052), an increase of £11,230.

On the cost control side, expenditures were £581,222 (2024 was £580,052) which is an increase of £1,170 in costs.

The net movement in funds was therefore a £6,940 deficit (2024 was a £17,000 deficit). We had budgeted for a £13,000 deficit so this is an improved result.

Reserves Policy

Total funds of the Charity at 31 March 2025 were £173,515 (2024: £180,455). Free reserves, calculated as being reserves after the removal of restricted funds, designated funds and tangible fixed assets, held at 31 March 2025 were £133,334 (2024: £137,892). It is held in a mixture of fixed term deposits, bonds and open access interest bearing accounts intended to maximise investment returns whilst not impairing liquidity. This position may fluctuate temporarily during the year as it smooths operational costs. It is our longer term aim to maintain reserves at the equivalent of between four to six months’ operational costs, as a contingency to enable us to honour all contractual obligations.

Associations with Organisations

We continue to work closely with The Kent Association for the Blind under the Kent County Council Community Wellbeing Services contract. We collect detailed statistics which are reported quarterly. We also receive financial support from NHS Kent and Medway CCG which go towards providing hearing aid maintenance services throughout the county. We were very pleased to have been granted five year funding by the National Lottery Community Fund which gives stability to our Social Group project. We receive funding from many local organizations and businesses which are all gratefully received. We have also continued to provide British Sign Language courses under contract for Kent Adult Education. Our relationships with all these organisations underpin our work and are of enormous benefit to our clients. We have established working relationships with several private hearing aid providers supporting them to provide NHS services or services such as wax removal which is not readily available via the NHS. We are grateful for the ongoing support of Tinnitus UK who provide information, training and publicity for our support groups. Hi Kent continues to chair the Kent Charities Group which involves joint fundraising with several other local charities in the County.

Corporate Risk Assessment

The Management Committee have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Hi Kent operates budget control procedures and formal reports are provided to the

PAGE 3

HI KENT

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Management Committee at its bi-monthly meetings. Progress of actual vs. budget funding/spending and cash flow analysis are kept under close review. Internal control risks are minimised by the stringent application of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Hi Kent operates its own quality system based on the principles of the ISO 9001:2015 standard.

Procedures are in place to:

These procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity, and all policies and procedures are examined rigorously as part of the annual quality procedure.

Methods Adopted for Recruitment and Appointment of new Trustees

Hi Kent appoints ‘fit and proper persons’ to serve as its Trustees and ensures its Board is balanced with a wide range of skills. As far as is possible Hi Kent aims to have diversity in its Trustees in terms of breadth of skills, age, gender, race and background, as well as personal experience or understanding of hearing loss and the needs of our client group.

Induction of Trustees

Potential new Trustees are provided with briefing material by the Chairman and the Chief Operating Officer then invited to attend one or more Trustees’ Meetings as observers before a decision is taken to appoint them as Trustee. They also receive copies of recent accounts, annual reviews, Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Employee Remuneration

The remuneration of key employees is set by the Trustees.

Acknowledgements

We are indebted to our many volunteers who provide NHS hearing aid maintenance service in their local communities and those who help to run our network of Social Groups. The monetary value of the contribution these volunteers make is more than £80,000 per year, we could not do the work without them. We again appreciate the support of staff in Local Authorities and NHS bodies which enables us to develop service provision for our mutual clients. We are also grateful for the help and support of Kent Association for the Blind over this fourth year of the contract and we look forward to working together on shaping future provision of this work. Hi Kent gratefully acknowledges the generous donations of those funding bodies which have awarded grants this year. The support of the many local organisations who help us provide our services and raise funds via fundraising events is very much appreciated. We also give grateful thanks to the numerous individuals who contribute regularly to our work on behalf of Kent’s 537,000 plus people with a hearing loss.

Future Plans

Our ongoing aim is to help more of Kent’s 537,000 d/Deaf and hard of hearing people year on year.

The Community Wellbeing Contract has continued into year 5 which is the final year. We will work with Kent Association for the Blind to support their future contract negotiations with Kent County Council.

We are very grateful for the National Lottery Community Fund grant for our Social Groups project. It means we have been able to make plans for the next few years and build on the success we have started. The groups get people together to make new friends and receive the support to help them to live well with hearing loss. The National Lottery Community Fund also provided a one year grant towards our Lipreading courses for the academic year 2024-2025 which again was gratefully received.

Our Ear Care service is now well established with appointments now available from our centres in Maidstone and Canterbury as well as home visits. The income from this service is growing which is thanks to the Hi Kent team for working so hard to make it a success.

For the Year Ending 31 March 2026

The Community Wellbeing Contract is going into the final year and we hope to hear what plans there are for the future very soon. We are participating with Kent County Council in their work to prepare an Adult Social Care Prevention Framework which encompasses our work. We continue to offer a good quality service helping around 8,000 people and providing assessment of needs, where appropriate, resulting in advice or equipment free of charge to help them to live safely and independently.

We have a fully costed budget for 2025-2026 which provides for a small, manageable deficit. We hope that we can reduce the amount of this deficit to a break-even result, if possible. We are scaling up efforts to boost activities that bring in funds as well as continuing to make savings on general costs. We track progress of grant funding and fundraising with internal funding meetings monthly.

Our British Sign Language courses continue to be offered in partnership with Kent Adult Education which enables us to offer concessions to people on benefits or low income. We have another new BSL tutor for the 2025-2026 academic year and are running courses in Dover, Canterbury and Maidstone as well as online. We will continue to offer 2 hour BSL Taster sessions which are proving very successful and feeding people into our courses.

Tinnitus Support Groups continue to be offered as face to face in various locations and online. These provide a place where people can meet others with the condition to share coping strategies and hear the latest advice. We will be attending Tinnitus UK’s first face to face conference since Covid in September 2025 and hope to pick up lots of information on the latest research.

Our Lipreading Courses are all online and fully subscribed for the next academic year 2025-2026 with a waiting list. We were very fortunate to receive a National Lottery Community Fund grant for the academic year 2024-2025 which enabled us to continue to offer this course free of charge.

We are keeping up the momentum with our social media posts and sending out email bulletins regularly too. We will continue to use free advertising available in local magazines and display posters and flyers where we can. We also will continue to take every opportunity available to us to speak to groups about what we do to spread the word.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

As always we will be doing our best to generate income from our fundraising activities to help fund our services.

Fundraising Activities

Our Fundraising activities were affected by the loss of our Fundraising Officer in October 2024 but we have done what we can with limited resources. New initiatives for 2025-2026 are an Afternoon Tea with John Sandon from The Antiques Roadshow in September 2025 and use of our new Ebay account to sell donated items. We are actively looking for a new Fundraising Officer to keep up the momentum of our fundraising activities. Income from donations and fundraising was £53,585 for 2025 (£61,348 for 2024) so down by £7,763 on 2024 levels. The Kent Charities Group Christmas Draw made £2,134 for 2024-2025 (£3,447:2023-2024) which was less than 2023-2024 but still a very helpful amount. The Hi Kent lottery raised £1,230 and we hope to increase this amount in 2025-2026. We maintain our policy of not using any professional fundraisers or commercial participators. The charity is fully compliant with the GDPR regulations and does not make any direct approaches to vulnerable people or members of the public using intrusive or unreasonable methods. The charity has received no complaints about its fundraising activities. Hi Kent is registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

Hi Kent continues to rely heavily on its team of 88 volunteers, the majority of whom are deployed on running our hearing aid support clinics, after receiving necessary training. A few volunteers also help run our Social Groups and help out at occasional fundraising events. All are required to undergo a DBS check before acting on our behalf.

Trustees during the year

The trustees of the charity who served during the year were as follows:

Clive Reddihough Caroline Highwood Patrick Todd Mary Shaw James Ransom (resigned 12[th] November 2024) Julia Cox - appointed 12[th] November 2024 Raymond Cuffley – appointed 12[th] November 2024

Investment Powers

Day-to-day funds management decisions in the current account rested with the Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to policies approved by the trustees and members of the Management Committee. Long-term investment decisions are subject to Board review. There are no restrictions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association on the type of investments permitted.

Auditors

Henry Reeves & Co Limited (previously Charcroft Baker LLP) were re-appointed as auditors at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. We have elected to have an Independent Examination instead of an audit for 2025 as we are not required by The Charities Commission or Companies House to have a full audit. A resolution proposing we tender for this work in 2026 will be put to the 2025 Annual General Meeting.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom HI KENT PAGE 6 (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Independent examiner’s report

We have examined the financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet and the related notes.

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our work has been undertaken so that we might compile the financial statements that we have been engaged to compile, report to the Board of Directors that we have done so, and state those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this 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 charity's members, as a body, for our work, or for this report.

Respective responsibilities of directors and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The charity's directors consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is required.

It is our responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from the directors concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect:

ACCOUNTING POLICIES STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Statutory Information

liability of each member in the event of a winding up is £1.

The company’s registered number and registered office address can be found on the company information page.

b) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements of the charitable company have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 section 1A), the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting By Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Companies Act 2006.

There were no material departures from those standards.

Hi Kent meet the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical costs or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The company’s functional and presentation currency is GBP.

c) Fund Accounting

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific purposes which may only be expended in accordance with the conditions imposed by the trustees.

Unrestricted funds are funds which are expended at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the charitable company.

d) Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements the trustees are confident that the charitable company has adequate resources and has taken appropriate measures to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees therefore deem it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

e) Recognition of Income

Income is recognised at fair value, derived from ordinary activities and net of sales taxes and any trade discounts. Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charitable company becomes entitled to the resource, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

PAGE 14

HI KENT (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES STATEMENT (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Income is recognised in respect of the following sources:

i) Grants

Income from government and other grants are recognised using the performance model.

Grants are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds and when any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met. Grants received before the revenue recognition criteria are satisfied are recognised as a liability.

ii) Sales and courses

Income from the sale of equipment is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer. This is usually at the point the customer receives the goods.

Income from the installation of equipment and the delivery of courses represents amounts invoiced in respect of the rendering of services. This is recognised with reference to stage of completion and is recognised in the period in which the service is performed.

iii)Donations and fund raising

Income from donations and fund-raising activities is recognised when the funds are received, in line with the general income recognition criteria.

iv) Investment income

Income from investments is recognised when receivable.

v) Legacies

Income from legacies are recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the income. This is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is made aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate.

vi) Contract income

Contract income is recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the income and any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

f) Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. It is calculated at the following annual rates:

Computers - 20% of net book value
Equipment - 20% of net book value
Fixtures and fittings - 20% of net book value
Motor vehicles - 25% of net book value

ACCOUNTING POLICIES STATEMENT (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

g) Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated on a first in first out basis and includes all costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling prices from which are deducted further costs to completion and disposal.

h) Operating Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

i) Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities. For more details see note 14.

j) Liabilities and Other Resources Expended

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 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 that category.

Support costs are allocated to the Charitable activities which they support. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a proportionate basis in line with income. Governance costs are not allocated to Charitable activities as they represent costs in respect of governing the charity as a whole and do not directly relate to a specific activity.

k) Creditors

Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

l) Financial instruments

Basic financial assets and liabilities include trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and cash and bank balances. These are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction (loan over a period of time) where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets and liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

m) Cash at Bank & In Hand

Cash held in income funds are classified as Cash at Bank and in Hand due to being highly liquid accounts.
