THE TEAMWORK TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03254107)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The trust's objects are to promote the preservation of health and to assist in relieving and supporting working age adults who have learning difficulties, autism and disabilities or sensory or physical disabilities who are based in Northamptonshire and by the provision of facilities for work therapy, education, life skills and socially inclusive activities. We focus on building skills in every individual, maintaining emotional and mental health wellbeing, being active, being safe and caring for the environment. Our activities schedule has been refreshed to align with a co‐produced timetable, placing greater emphasis on the service user voice and their desires.
Our current three year strategic aims are:
Connected living
Creating a space where our service users are supported to identify their personal needs and have choices of how they reach their individual goals.
We grow relationships, meaningful connections and friendships, creating a community network of mutual support and co‐creation.
Development of growth and potential
Modelling an organisational culture of looking after each other, where our service users and colleagues feel valued and invested in.
We identify skills needs and career progression, in order to develop a tailored personal development plan.
Inspiring and engaging services
Delivering co‐designed services with key stakeholders that support our service users to develop the skills needed to realise their version of independence.
Working in co‐production with our service users to offer a wide range of sessions to support progression and positive mental health.
Championing equality and justice
We remove barriers, advocate for independence and challenge ableism to reduce inequality, by growing our community partners, volunteering opportunities and expanding our support network through networking, marketing and digital channels.
We work in partnership with key stakeholders who share and support us to achieve our Vision and Mission.
Vision
To create a world where Learning Disabilities, Autism or Mental Health challenges are not barriers to people wanting to actively participate in their community through educational learning, work skills training, volunteering and social activities.
Mission
To help our service users thrive by giving choices, chances and opportunities to live full, purposeful and independent lives.

Public benefit
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by The Charity Commission and believe all the charity's activities are for public benefit.
Our activities and classes are approved by North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) under the Commissioning for a Good Life Framework. Our volunteer activities and processes are approved by the Mental Health Northants Collaboration (MHNC). The Teamwork Trust receives funding from both NNC and MHNC.
Our centres are used by service users to develop living skills, work skills, education and overall progression, while offering respite to some families and carers. Our volunteer service helps support corporate social responsibility objectives to local businesses, while providing mental health interventions for individuals.
We support two local charities by renting our space to them in two of The Teamwork Trust buildings, so that they too can provide a valuable service to the local community: Kettering Community Unit and Manna House Counselling.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
In March, we held our AGM and trustee Away Day, reviewing our governance framework, financial health, risk register, and strategic plan. This marked the beginning of a stronger governance cycle, increasing Board meetings from four to six annually, and aligning board reporting with our strategic objectives.
We launched the 2024‐2027 Strategy ‐ co‐produced by service users, staff, volunteers, and trustees at the Kettering Park Hotel. Many of our stakeholders were in attendance. The strategy prioritises service user voice, sustainability, and innovation. Trustee recruitment has been a key focus, with Chris Webb confirmed to join the Board, and other prospective candidates actively engaged.
Our governance review continues, supported by a comprehensive policy update programme. A new Health and Safety sub‐committee has been established, with active staff and service user involvement.
Impact and Achievements
Teamwork Trust is proud to support 122 active service users on their journeys toward a more independent and fulfilling future. Each member benefits from a person‐centred programme that includes life skills, education, wellbeing, and interest‐based sessions, delivered across our centres and in the community. These programmes are designed to support progression, build confidence, and reflect each individual's aspirations.
Demonstrable Outcomes Through Funded Programmes
FY25 brought changes in how we deliver some of our services, and we are pleased to report strong and measurable impact ‐ particularly through our successful delivery of the Multiply and UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) programmes.
These initiatives contributed significantly to the wider service user experience and extended our reach beyond our core membership:
-
Through Multiply, we supported over 100 adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and/or Mental Health difficulties across a range of numeracy‐based courses
-
Of a target of 175 enrolments, Teamwork Trust achieved 260 course completions‐an approximate 50% overachievement. Course topics included practical numeracy skills such as time, money, craft, cooking, and using numbers in daily life.
Similarly, through the UKSPF grant, we provided support to economically inactive adults, helping them gain essential skills for employment or volunteering, while also delivering enriching and confidence‐building experiences. In both cases, we not only exceeded participation targets, but also completed delivery on time and within budget ‐ a testament to our operational strength, staff commitment, and the enthusiasm of our service users.
These achievements demonstrate the outstanding value Teamwork Trust provides in its partnerships, showing clearly that we can deliver outcomes well above expectations when resourced appropriately. Our focus remains on outcome‐driven, inclusive programmes that build real skills, create opportunity, and support people to live purposeful lives.
Service Delivery & Innovation
We continue to deliver high‐quality, user‐led services across our three centres and in the community, focusing on work skills, education, life skills, and inclusive social engagement. New sessions introduced in 2025 have seen 100% engagement across our member base, including those who previously opted out of group activities.
Key developments include:
- Launch of My Enterprise, our growing portfolio of social enterprises co‐produced with service users.

THE TEAMWORK TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03254107)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
-
Introduction of new session timetables and opportunities to support manual dexterity, learning, and independence.
-
Enhanced collaboration with external partners, such as Manna House Counselling, who now rent space in our Corby Centre to support local clients and KCU who now rent two spaces in our Kettering Centre.
A comprehensive review of services and outcomes is underway to better demonstrate impact and guide future development.
People, Culture & Volunteering
Teamwork Trust continues to be driven by the skills and commitment of our staff, volunteers, and service users. We restructured the senior team, welcomed key appointments, and refined roles to meet 2024/25 priorities.
-
The Fundraising Executive role transitioned to Fundraising and Volunteering Executive, with the Head of Development leading on the funding pipeline.
-
Our staff team remains highly engaged, supported by meaningful colleague recognition, structured training (including First Aid Level 3), and two off‐site away days per year
-
We marked the departure of a long‐serving employee with gratitude for her 10 years of dedicated service, celebrating with members and colleagues across all three centres.
-
Annual staff survey was conducted and actions taken from the outcomes
-
New HR digital portal implemented to add more emphasis on staff performance appraisals
Staff are nominated for living the organisational values and for going 'above and beyond' for their colleagues or our service users, with trustee recognition given on a bi‐monthly basis. Eighteen different staff members have been nominated, by their colleagues, for their outstanding contribution during the year.
Premises & Infrastructure
Premises remain a key strategic focus. While the Corby building continues to present financial and structural challenges, we are actively exploring relocation options with the support of the local authority and property professionals. We are also pursuing updates at our Wellingborough and Kettering sites to improve accessibility, comfort, and service delivery.
Although a recent funding application for solar panels at our Kettering site was unsuccessful, alternative grants are being explored. The nearby opening of a new Costa Coffee is expected to increase footfall and open new enterprise opportunities.
Our Office 365 migration was completed this year, following a successful IT tender process. With improved Wi‐Fi, cyber security, and operational tools, we are now better equipped to manage digital transformation, including the introduction of a HR staff portal, a new CRM system, service user digital portal evidencing progression and ongoing digital inclusion support for service users.
Looking Ahead
As we move further into 2025, our focus remains on:
-
Promoting advocacy, service user voice and digitally evidencing progression
-
Completing the governance review
-
Agree KPIs aligned with strategy and the objectives agreed with major donors
-
Scaling our My Enterprise initiatives and recruiting dedicated job coaches
-
Agreeing staff objectives aligned with strategic goals
-
Addressing staff capacity and recruitment challenges
-
Strengthening fundraising efforts and diversifying income streams
-
Improving our premises and the energy efficiencies
-
Expanding our digital infrastructure to better serve our people and communities
-
Reviewing our marketing channels, refreshing the branding and launching new website

We are proud of the progress made over the last year and energised by the opportunities ahead. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of our team, the support of our stakeholders, and the voices of our service users leading the way, Teamwork Trust is well‐positioned to deliver on its mission: supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs to live full, purposeful lives ‐ achieving their own version of independence.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Financial position
Teamwork Trust has continued to make significant strides toward financial stability and long‐term sustainability in 2024/25. Strong leadership, effective cost controls, and an increasingly strategic approach to income generation have contributed to a positive financial outcome.
In terms of financial performance, the Charity saw a surplus of £111,503 (2024: £65,436 deficit, after allowance of £170,000 in respect of an Exceptional Item) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
At 31 March 2025, the Charity had reserves of £977,617 split between restricted £337,862, designated £450,000 and unrestricted funds of £189,755.
The Charity had incurred an in‐year deficit for the last two financial years before 2025 which had been funded from reserves. Trustees continue to review the strategy of the organisation to balance maximising impact in the community and for those we support with the need to be financially resilient. The updated strategy will be implemented for 2026.
Exceptional item
The Teamwork Trust's accounts for 2024 included an exceptional item to provide for an estimated settlement of a historic VAT liability of £170,000. This is a one‐off adjustment that is not expected to recur.
Income Growth and Core Service Delivery
The charity has experienced modest growth in income of approximately 10%, increasing from £1.097 million in the year ending 31st March 2024 to £1.212 million in the year ending 31st March 2025. The majority of Teamwork Trust's income continues to derive from the delivery of Health & Social Care services, particularly through our long‐standing partnership within the North Northamptonshire Framework (Commissioning for a Good Life) and our delivery of post‐16 Living and Learning support.
This income growth has been primarily driven by increased provision of these services in response to growing demand and strengthened partnerships with the local authority and commissioners.
Social Enterprise Income and Strategic Shift
There has been a reduction in income from our traditional outsourcing work, falling from £21k in FY24 to £4k in FY25. This is largely due to the decline in demand for this type of activity. However, in response to this trend, new and exciting enterprise activities have been identified and co‐produced by our service users under the emerging umbrella name of 'My Enterprise'
These initiatives, though in their early stages during 2024/25, have been a major focus of organisational energy and planning. Their development reflects our shift toward more co‐produced, meaningful and skill‐building opportunities, with the aim of expanding this income stream and its social impact significantly in 2025/26.
Cost Management and Net Position
Teamwork Trust continues to manage costs carefully in the face of external economic pressures. Staff costs have increased, reflecting both the rise in the national minimum wage and our continued investment in recruiting and retaining skilled, committed staff.
Despite these pressures, the charity reports an operating surplus of £128k in the year ending 31st March 2025 (excluding gains and losses on investments and exceptional items) compared with an operating surplus of £87k in the prior year.
Future Financial Priorities
Looking ahead to 2025/26, diversifying income streams remains a top priority, with continued focus on:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STRATEGIC REPORT
-
Scaling the My Enterprise initiatives to support both service user development and financial sustainability.
-
Strengthening fundraising and grant applications, including further lottery and foundation bids. Enhancing income tracking and data monitoring through improved CRM systems to ensure reporting accuracy
-
‐ and bid competitiveness.
The financial progress made this year places Teamwork Trust in a much stronger position to plan with confidence, invest in our service users' futures, and reduce our over‐reliance on local authority funding.
Investment policy and objectives
The Charity invests funds to generate capital growth over a long term period. This is reviewed by the Trustees annually. Social, ethical and environmental considerations are a priority for many of Teamwork's members and Trustees are exploring options to ensure that Teamwork's funds are invested in line with the charity's values.
Reserves policy
The charity's Trustees have reviewed its approach to its reserves with reference to the Charity Commission guidance and have subsequently approved a reserves policy. This has established a minimum and target reserves level. Trustees consider possible risks which might impact the charity and what funds should be held to mitigate these. In particular, Trustees consider it a priority to ring fence a proportion of reserves so that the charity can continue to provide continuity of services to its members. This is calculated based on a multiple of monthly operating expenditure and Trustees have designated £460k of reserves as a 'Service Delivery Fund' to cover this. Trustees have also designated £50k of reserves relating to premises relocation which is a planned future project to be funded from the charity's reserves. Actual reserves at 31st March 2025 total £978k. Of this figure, £338k relates to restricted funds ringfenced for specific purposes. Designated reserves total £510k which leaves a remaining unrestricted reserves figure of £190k. Trustees expect to use a proportion of these unrestricted reserves in future financial years to fund a number of projects contributing towards achieving the charity's strategic goals.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of trustees, including all Committees, has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies note 1 of the financial statements. The Trust ensures that reserves are managed to ensure sustainability.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The trustees have a duty to identify and review risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance and mitigation against fraud and error. Major risks are reviewed at the bi‐monthly Board meeting. Current risks include financial pressures in the sector, the political context both nationally and locally, and the recruitment and retention of high quality staff with relevant experience and skills.
The Charity has insurance to cover its property and legal liabilities normally associated with its operations. The Charity recognises its legal and moral duty to minimise risk to its users, staff, volunteers, contractors and members of the public. This year the Charity completed its review of all policies, and now all new policies will be reviewed annually or when legislation changes.
Other risks faced by the Charity include managing the cost of continued increases in the living wage above the rate of inflation, the maintenance of its buildings, and managing the significant cost of utility bills in an uncertain energy market.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees, who are also the directors of The Teamwork Trust for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make them aware of any audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Phipps Henson McAllister, will be proposed for re‐appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAMWORK TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Teamwork Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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.
Conclusions relating to going 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern 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.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Note 23 in the financial statements which indicates that an internal VAT review has been performed by the Trust and it has been determined that input VAT has been overclaimed in prior years on expenditure that was incurred in relation to non‐business income. The VAT review is still ongoing and the Trust has sought out VAT specialist advice. A reasonable estimate of the VAT which will be repayable has now been included within the financial statements. The exact additional VAT liability is expected to be determined in 2025. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors 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 any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in 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 11
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE TEAMWORK TRUST
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; 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 (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 12
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAMWORK TRUST
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 (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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Charitable Company and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006 the Charities Act 2011, and UK corporate taxation laws.
-
We obtained an understanding of how the Company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to the management. We corroborated our inquiries through our review of board minutes and other papers.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the Charitable Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
-
challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
-
identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations; and
-
assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that result from an error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non‐compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAMWORK TRUST
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Charity information
The Teamwork Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 0, St Marks Road, St James Industrial Estate, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN18 BAN.
The members of the company are the trustees noted in the reference and administrative details page. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Trust's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practiceapplicable 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)". The Trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Income
Income is recognised when the Trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised upon receipt.
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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property ‐ 2.5% on cost Plant and machinery ‐ 15% on cost Fixtures and fittings ‐ 20% on cost Computer equipment ‐ 33.33% on cost

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ‐ continued
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out below:
Designated funds are subject to specific conditions as specified by the trustees. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post‐retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Fixed Asset Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Fixed Assets
At each reporting end date, the Trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short‐term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Employee Benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ‐ continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Trust's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

23. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
The Charitable Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its staff. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Charity in an independently administered fund. Contributions of £nil (2024: £3,870) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date.
24. OTHER FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS
An internal VAT review was performed by the Trust and it was determined that input VAT had been overclaimed in prior years on expenditure that was incurred in relation to non‐business income. The VAT review is complete and the Trust was aided by VAT specialist advice. An exercise has been completed to determine the likely liability of the VAT which will be repayable which has resulted in a provision of £170,000 being included within these financial statements, being the best current estimate of the liability. The exact additional VAT liability is expected to be confirmed with HMRC.
25. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 March 2025.
