About dyslexla Dyslexia is a specific learning diffiwlty. It ts a set of processing difficulties that prwnarily affect the 3CqUiSition of reading fluency and spellirry skills althou8h other area5 of learning ènd 5ki115 may also be affected. Key processin8 deficits are often phonological in nature. Dyslexia exists on a continuum. Is Influenced by multiple. often owlapwn8 genetic and enwronmental factors. and can be experienced to varorS degree5 of severity. Wexia often COv¢Kcurs alon8side other developmental difficulties like d(alcUl14, ADHD and DCD. Dyslexia affects people regardless of intellectual ability and is estimated to affect l in 10 people In the UK. Children and adults with unsupported dy51exia are more likew to suffer low selfsteem, low confidence, to have negatNe associations Wbth education and achieve fewer qualfications, to become unemployed when kavirwd sd>1. and to potentially make negatiME life dedsions. Our role At Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity we belie that the first step in helping people with dyslexia and other specific learnin8 difficulties to rna¥imi5e their opportunilies. is to gain better self. undeYstandin8 by mean5 of specialist dyslexia aSsessmtS with personalised recommendations for appropriate ways fonward. The sttond eP 15 to irnple these re(ommendations, ensuring the Indl¥ldual gains access to the extra hdp tly need. either wlth one-off adjustments or programmes of on-golng Speciall support. The ihird step is to up-skill and educate teachers. classrwm asslstant5, parents. employer5 and members of the public so that theyare better able to provide SUPPOrt to peop with dyslexia. Outcomesfor beneficiarie5 indude: - improved selF-awarers5. With better uNlerstandin8 of irLdi¥idual stren8ths and weaknesses. - Improved self-empowermenl. - improved access to practical specialist support arhd'reasonable adjustmenw. - improvEd 5elf-confidence and rnental well-being. - improved literacy and attitude to learnin8. - reduced frusrraJon. - weduced anxiety. - Improved life-OpPOrtun*s. Currently, it is difficult for families from lower-income backgrounds to access the help they need. both because of the availability of hi8h-tyJality services and because diagnostic 05sessments and specwli5t tuition are expensive. At Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity we aim to rem¢)ve these barriers. helping (tyslexic children and adults to thrive in toda5 world and prevent their talent from belnÉ wasted. A key aim is to provide butsary-funded support to increanE nwnbers of benefick4ries from lower- income background5. These bursaries can provide an indivKJual wlth the help they need. to chan8e their life for the better and find a new po%"ti¥e way loard that maximises their potential.

Atotal of 125 state school repre5entatNes12024= 1111 have this year benefffted from this trainlng. AH attended the Charivs 6-week online course entitled "Supporting Leafners With lslexialSpLDs". which enale5 them to better support learner5 with dyslexia back In iheir classrooms. Thi5 course provides 18 hours of training by our expert team and Is accredited by the CPD Standards oifi¢e. The fact that it is delivered online, and recorded. means that participants come from farand wide. We have ceived the following feedback on this COUfSe: '1 found the cowse extremety inforn)atrve. I work with children with SpLD's within my role as an LSA and also have a daughter diagnosed dyslexla. The first sessbon. givi an insi8ht into the conditions I found extremety hel1 and the following sessions gave me so marly idea5 and strategies to use at home. I realty feel all teachers should complete this course as there is a real lack of under5tandin8 of these conditKin5 Wlthin sch)ol and a lack of strategies used to help children.
The course has provided me wrth a k)t of informat•on that I drd not know prior, aThl I will now be usin8 in my da¥-to4ay work and sharing with others. There was lots of information in the sessM)ns. and it will prove useful when workl wlth children and alSing sth¢o] staff on how can support children..

We delivered 19 in-seryice days to 5choc45 which reathed a brilliant 1040 attendees. We were also fortunate to 1Ve fundin8 from TeKo's Stronger Starts stheme and this has enabled us to provide a variety of different types of support to schools including support)8 Learner places and HELP cour5e5 for parents. Target 5: We wlll contlnue to explor• opportunltles for strate8k ptnersNps wlth other oryanlsathns whose alms and oblertl¥es allzn Tthh our ryn. for the yttlmate beneltt of people wfth dysle¥l• acro the UK and beyond. Outcome- We fulfilled this tar8el by keepin8 line5 of crynmunication open with the British Oyslexia Association to ensure that between us. we benefft our respertive beneficiaries air055 the UK. and not inadvertently duplicate our efforts. We also a8reed to eXple opportunities to work tO8ether whenever opportunities may arise. Our Targets for 2026: Consistent with our Strategyto continue to increase our reach and Impact of our servKes. and Provide a fuller depth and breadth of service. the targets in 2026 remain SFmilar to 2025. However, the current difficult economic backdrop in the UK means that we mull contlnue to f¢xus on financial robustness at th• same time as helping as many people as we can. so these targets maIn ambit#)us whilst realistic. Target I: In line with our mission to remove bathers to leamln& employrnent and Itfe for people with owexia by providlng expert, personal and life-chan8in8 SUPPQrt. we plan to maintain the number of people wlth dyslexla that we help with I:1 supwrt. Our l..1 supp)rt 11 continue to indude assessments. nsultations, tuition. sk111s-trwildi and coaching for children. young people and adults at any sta8e of their lives. Target 2: We plan to continue io provide &8niftsnt amounts of bursary-funded specialist support to disadvantaged people with dyslexia from bwer-income backgrounds. We understand that our ability to provide thi5 SUPPOrt is dependent on aChIenI or surpassing Our fundraisin8 targets. whKh in the current economic climate will be a challen8e. Our fvrrtlralng focus wlll continue to be on raising these restrltted bursary funds. Target 3: We aim to train further cohorts of teachers and tÈad*ng asystants speofically from the state school sector, a5 part of our overall strategy to reach disathianwed Communit$. Thls addresses the fact that learners with dy51exia in state schools generally have less access to teaching stsff who have been trained in how to support their needs, than those in the independent school sector. 12
Target 4: We aim to engage with increased numbers of sch1 settings in general. particularly with provision of training in the support of dyslexic learners by means of -serVice days.119 provided in 241251, and to then follow-up with other support seNices a5 applicable to the individual setting. Target 5: We will continue to explore opportunitles for strategr partnerships with other organisatbon5 whose aims and objectives align with otsr own, for the ullmnate befiefft of people with dyslexia across the UK and beyond.

How we are making a difference In a recent survey to 349 people recelvkn¥ IrSary-fUded support re5pMdents told us: IOOYO agreed havin8 a tylexia assessrnent helps the person understand themselves better. induding their strengths and weaknesses. 98% agreed a dyslexla assessment helps to acce$5 further support. 95% reported the assessment improved confidence. reported the assessment led to improved literaty. 960A reported the a55essment reduced frustratlon and anxiety. These are some of thelr comments: Having an official dyslexia diagnosis has helped me in university. understandin8 my dyslexia has given me confidence. I woulth't have been able to afford it WItht the bursary. It has chanzed my Ilfe as I wouldn't have had the uTrders>ndlry and confhlen¢e to go to unlversity before I was thaznosed. I know it will aid her for life. as she will be able to have appropriate support in èxam5 and the workplace.

I couldn't be MO 8rJteful to the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity. Being able to have my son have his Dyslexia assessment was the best thing for him. I'd worried for a few years that my son had Dyslexla and was always told by the school he was fine and just didn't concentrate. Having the tleXia diagnosis and the in depth report has made such a big difference for my son especially with transitionin8 to secondary school he finally has the correct support in place. It's also helped my son wlth his seff esteem as he fNwlly understands that he is perfert the way he Is hls braln lust works In a wonderfully different way. My dau8hter is now absolutety thrMn8. whe she was struggling at school not understanding we now know the too15 in which to help her understand and the learnln8 method that best sults her. Taking a parent course at Helen Ar11 myself helped me gain a better understanding and ways in which I can help at home. I changed her 5thools to one better equipped for dyslexia and she had extra tuition through Helen Arkell and it boosted her confidence and she caught up with her peers at school.

Treasurerfs Report The financial results for theyear are set out in pages 28 to 43. 2025 was a challenging year for the UK'S Third Sectt)r as it faced headwirmls from global economic instability and sta8nation. the conts.nued cost of living (ris•s and cost inflation. The Charity Is not immune to these challenges. I would like to expre55 my gratitude io all involved in the Charity. and in partlcular my colleagues on the Finance. Audit, Investment and Riskcommittee IFAIRI and the Senior Management team who were hu8ely 8erRrou5 in 8iving their time {meeting at least weeWyfor muth of the year). enew arml creativity in addressin8 the challenges. At the end of the 2025 financial yearthe Board took the difficult decisionsto restructure the charity. implement efficierKies in our procw and umlertike a redundancy pmgram to reduce the o¥erhead Costs of the charity. The P4)ard has approved a program to rebuild the rrVeS and have set a realistic but achiewdble budget for 202512026 which delivers a surplu5. Our trading forthe first 6 months of 2026 indicates that we are on trackto meet this budBet. We are 8rateful to and wish to thank our fvndeis for their continued support of the Charity- particularly The Antares Trust, The Weinstock Foundation. The Theo Paphkn's Retall Group and AT4vard5 for All, all of whom have made significant donations in 2026. This year the Charity repxied a net deficit of1£134.553), compared to a net defiat of1£40.0911 in 2024. as reflected in the Statemeni of Finanual Activitses (SOFA}. Income from tharitable activities {principalty the delivery of assessments. tuition and training courses) of £117.822 refiect•d a 31% ireaSe over the prior year 12024: £1,383.1771. Expenditure lftcreased io £1.952,375 (2024: £1,688,674} an irKrease of IS% on the pre¥lous year. Unrestricted income increased by £110,713 to £l.S%,811 lup from £IA86,0981 with an unrestricted defiot of1£125.4221. The Charity continued to utilise restrkted funds to provide bur5aTies reducing restricted funds ift the year ty1£9.1311 compared to a 2023 I£23,1611. unstrICted dunatiun5 and legacies inueased from £74.998 in 2024 to £104.269 In 2025. Our restrirted donations redd by £43,952 to £221.011. At year end unrestricted reserves reflected a decrease of £125.422 to £39,81812024.. £165.2401.

At year end ¢werall cash rewurces ¥ftre £129.138: a decrease of {£97,1661 from 2024. The Trustee5 continue to execute the Board-approved irwestment strategy given the level of cash on hand in the Charity. This is a low risk-based approath primarly focussed on improving the investment return in the form of interest on funds without exposin8 the Charity to unacceptable levels of risk. Investments are limhted to term deposits with approved financial institutrons covered by the FSCS deposit protection scheme. No one investment wll exceed the £120.0 FSC5 protection limit. 21
The Trustees are now focused on rebuilding unrestricted reserve5 to ersure that the Charity is as finalaI1V secure as possible. All the Chariivs reserves are ojrrently held in cash. using a cash management system mentioned above. to maxlmise interest. The Trustees a very aware that prudent fiscal management is critical in these uncertain times and consequentty FAIR continues to meet frequently to ¢)versee the management of the finala1 affairs of the Chartty. FAIR ha5 closely scrutinised the cashflow projections and budgets prepared by mana8ement and taken actions as noted in this repcrt where necessary for the financial security of the Charity. Reserves policy The Board of Trustees aim5 for the Charity to maintsiD suffident reser¥es to contlnue operatlons In the event of a si8nifi¢ant rediDn in income for a peiiod of three to six months. The Board is mindful that this does not necessarily require reserves to cover the Charitys totsl expenditure for ch a period. This is because. were the Charrty to experience a large drop in feceipts. gNen the alabilty of its activitie5, costs would fall in a similar manner. iikÈwise. the Chanty is not entirely reliant on voluntary income to cover all of its costs, as the majority of its actNlties generate income. As a result, the Board believes that the Charitys targa level of reserves should be wtth reference to its'fixed c05ts', partiiularly overt0d5 aThJ the stsff costs associated with tfv)se who are engaged on full-time, long-temi contrxts. Taking the p)licy into accounl. the target range for the Chari5 reserves associated wfth its nrestricted activities currently is set by the Trusttts at £ISO,Cth to £2(Xl.O(K). ThÈ policy and taryet range are regularly reviewed. refiecbng the Charitrfs svie and the proportion ol total income achieved by bjndraising. Tris reseThin£ policy was re%iewed by the Trustees at the strate8y away dèv in pteMbér and no material than8es were made to the existir* policy. The Trustees seek to maintain a balance of sufficient reser¥es whilst also in¥èsttn8 ift 8rowih to enable more li¥Es to be posilivety affected by the Charitys work. in accordance with its obiectwes. As of 31 August 2025. the balance of Unrestricted ReseThes stands at £39.818 (2024: £165,240). wth is below the desired level: however as noted above the board have taken artions to reduce the fixed cost base of the Charity by undertaking a rendanc¥ program, resfrurturing the charity and improvin8 the efficiènty of the Charitrfs processes. These actions have enabled the Chartiy to commence the task of rebuilding the Reser¥es. The Board have agreed a budget which should onsure the resee$ grow IA the 25126 fInala1 year and a long term strategy foi continued Browth. The Trustees will continue to dose monitor the perforn)ance of the Charity and market events going forward and will take any necessary Kdons if business plans or budgets are not met. Trèding for the first 6 months of the 2026 financial year indicate that the Charity is on track to meet its budget for the coming year. Risk management FAIR meets regularfy to evaluate and monitorthe ChariWs risk profile. In the year under review the turbulent economy, high infiation and cost of Ipiing crisis all continued to impart the or8anisation. The focus of the TfUStees continued to be on the financial stability of the Charity and thi5 report outlines the primary actions taken to mitigate the emerging risks. The Charity continue5 to update the risk register as new rlsks emer8e and to ensure that miti8alinB artK)ns are taken promptly where necessary. At the time of thi5 report uncertainty rlxnabns about the year ahead. Indudin{ the potential financial impact of geopolitical uncertainty. increased interest rates and Inflatn. and the effect of this on the
ost of living and. importantly. on our donat*)n income and ouroperating costs. These Issues have also impacted on our clients ability to afford our services: as evidence by the increased requests for bursary support. FMR will continue to be respN)nsive in this fast<hangin8 environment. The Charity has a restrnctured operating model that is dynam•c as well as a realistic tyjdget. The Charty Is well Posbtioned for the year ahead to pursue Its objertives and maintsin financial stability. Goln£ Concern The Trusiees Confirm that. having Cons1 our expectations and intentlons for the next twelve months, ourtra¢k record of dell¥ery, indudin8 an approved budget and the availability of workin8 capital, the Charity is a going concern.
