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 varor￿S 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 self*steem, 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 aSsessm￿tS with personalised recommendations for appropriate ways fonward.

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.

This new insight signtf￿antty increased his confidence and allowed hlm to communlcate hls needs more effedively in everyday lrfe. The impact of this wpport has extended beyond Matt'5 own development. With improved self-bellef and practical strate8les, he has been able to lead a cooking group for autistlc Individuals-sornething he would not have felt able to do before. His experience demonstrates the transformative effect of specialist assessment and the value of funded support in helping adults with neurodiverse profiles thrive.

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 r￿rVeS 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 £1￿17.822 refiect•d a 31% i￿reaSe 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. un￿strICted dunatiun5 and legacies inueased from £74.998 in 2024 to £104.269 In 2025. Our restrirted donations red￿￿d by £43,952 to £221.011. At year end unrestricted reserves reflected a decrease of £125.422 to £39,81812024.. £165.2401. Restricted ￿SelveS stand at £52,37412024.. £61.5051. The Charty reports a cash ouffiow from operations of1£99.2711 compared to an oufflow of 1£66.1571 in 2024. 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 fina￿laI1V 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 fina￿la1 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 red￿￿iDn 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 overt￿0d5 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 Chari￿5 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). w￿th 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 re￿ndanc¥ 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 rese￿e$ grow IA the 25126 fIna￿la1 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.
