STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The day-to-day affairs of the Charity are administered by the council of Trustees. None of the Trustees who are also the Directors have any beneficial interest in the Charity.
It is not currently the intention of the Trustees of the Charity to appoint new Trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the Trustees will apply suitable recruitment, induction and training procedures.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity is established to further those purposes both in the United Kingdom and abroad recognised as charitable by English Law and in furtherance of its objects. The Charity receives income from its investments which it utilises in the provision and distribution of grants and donations.
The Charity's principal activity throughout the year was the provision and distribution of donations and grants to charities, and no change is envisaged in the immediate future.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the Charity continued its philanthropic activities in support of religious, education and other Charitable Institutions. Aggregate donations in the sum of £989,734 (2024: £620,999) were paid in the year to 31 March 2025 (see note 8).
The Charity was reliant on the income derived from its investments and reserves brought forward. During the year under review the gross income arising from its investments was £211,911 (2024: £69,429).
The net deficit on incoming resources during the year under review is a result of the charity's continued effort to maintain its grants making activities, partially funded from accumulated reserves of the charity.
The financial results of the Charity's activities for the year ended 31 March 2025 are fully reflected in the attached Financial Statements together with the Notes thereon.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserve Policy
The Trustees consider it is essential to maintain a suitable level of reserves to ensure funds are always available to meet their charitable objectives.
Significant grants were made during the year which reduced free reserves to a level more consistent with the charity’s objectives.
Total reserves as reported on page 6 are £2,791,179 (2024:£2,477,468). By excluding fixed assets, adjusted free reserves are £1,346,801 (2024:£1,899,091).
Grant making policy
Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations whose activities accord with the objects of the Charity.
Investment Powers and Policy and Objectives
Under the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Trustees have the authority to make suitable investments, regularly evaluating the Charity's needs and investment policy.
Initially focused on secure income streams and capital growth from property holdings,following the sale of these holdings, the Charity has diversified its investments, including a UK property venture via its Subsidiary Undertaking (refer to note 15).
The trustees regularly review the risk profile of its investment portfolio monitoring the varying liquidity levels and returns of its investments.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Trustees plan to continue to make distributions in accordance with their grant making policy and to ensure that an appropriate level of reserves is maintained, bearing in mind the global financial instability prevailing in the current economic environment.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Risk Management
The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks.
Going Concern
The Trustees are aware of the challenges they face, including geopolitical tensions, economic pressures, and ongoing global disruptions.
Notwithstanding the uncertainty mentioned above, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the charity and available sources of finance. The Trustees recognise that they have the ability to to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities due to the absence of any legally binding obligations.
FIXED ASSETS INVESTMENTS
The movements in fixed asset investments are fully reflected in note 14 to the financial statements.
The Charity's unlisted investments are included at Trustees' valuations and the listed investments are included at their fair values at Balance sheet date and details of Assets values are disclosed in note 14.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes 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 charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.
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 applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 4 CHARITY FOUNDATION
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of 4 Charity Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity'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;
-
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 auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 charity'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.

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. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
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 trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report 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 charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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; or
-

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR'S 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 an auditor’s report 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. 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 framework that are applicable to the company through discussion with the management, and identified which were most significant with respect to the financial statements. We identified Companies Act 2006 (including associated regulations), Financial Reporting Standard 102, Taxation Laws and Regulations, The Landlord and Tenant Act and Health & Safety Regulations as being most significant to these financial statements. We communicated these identified frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We discussed with the management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with the legal and regulatory framework.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement due to non-compliance with legal and regulatory framework, including how fraud might occur, by enquiry with the management during the planning and finalisation stages of our audit and by using proprietary disclosure checklists. The susceptibility to such material misstatement was determined to be low.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 4 CHARITY FOUNDATION (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- Based on this understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with the identified legal and regulatory framework, which were part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Our procedures included reviewing the company's internal controls policies and procedures, reviewing the minutes of board meetings and correspondence with regulatory bodies including HM Revenue & Customs, testing transactions outside the normal course of the business and journal entries, and discussions with the management.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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 appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Judgements made by the trustees in the application of these accounting policies that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are as follows:
(i) Investment Valuation
The valuation of unlisted investments at trustees' valuation is subjective and depends on many factors including the nature of the investment and its expected future returns and capital appreciation. Therefore, the valuation is subject to a degree of uncertainty and is made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate particularly in periods of difficult market or economic conditions.
(ii) Debtors
Management use details of the age of loan debtors and the status of any disputes together with external existence of the credit status of the counterparty in making judgements concerning any need to impair the carrying value.
The trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities on accrual basis and when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

15. INVESTMENTS (continued)
The shares in the group undertaking are held at cost. All other investments are held at fair value.
The Charity's investments were included in the accounts at their fair values based on Assets Managers Investment reports.
The Trustees are aware of the challenges they face, including geopolitical tensions, economic pressures, and ongoing global disruptions.
As at 8 December 2025, the date these financial statements were authorised for issue, the fair value of the Charity's remaining non-UK unlisted investments had not changed significantly since 31 March 2025. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the Charity's investments are not reflected in the financial statements as at 31 March 2025.
The trustees have no participating interests in the Charity's investments and have no influence over the strategic policies in those investments other than the group undertakings.
No provision has been made for any deferred tax liability on unrealised surpluses on revaluation of the charity's investments as it is anticipated that all realised surpluses will be applied for the benefit of this Company's charitable purposes and that no tax liability will arise.
Investment in Subsidiary
The Charity owns 93% of the issued share capital of 4 Brentwood Ltd, a company incorporated in Great Britain and registered in England and Wales.

The results of 4 Brentwood Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2024, as per the financial statements, are as follows:

16. DEBTORS (continued)
The charity has outstanding amounts owed by its subsidiary, 4 Brentwood Limited. The loan accrues interest at Barclays Base rate plus 5% annually, secured by assets. Repayments are ongoing, but uncertainty exists regarding accrued interest, leading to a provision against it.
Additionally, a £149,172 loan to a charity supporting medical care aligns with the charity’s objectives. Repayment was initially deferred due to the financial strain experienced by the debtor charity during and immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic. While the direct impact of COVID-19 has since lessened, the charity continues to face ongoing operational and economic challenges. In light of these continuing pressures and the charitable nature of its activities, the Board of Trustees of 4 Charity has further extended the repayment period.
