THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Foundation operates from its Hayward House offices in London with a small permanent staff. Trustee board meetings are held three times a year to consider grant applications and award grants, receive reports on activities, and monitor routine operations. The Foundation’s main grant programme comprises a two-stage process. A Grants Committee selects applications to be put forward to the full Trustees’ meeting as a second and final stage of the grant making process. Decisions are made on the basis of information provided at meetings and taking into account recommendations by staff. A Finance Committee advises the Trustee board on matters of finance, investment, audit and personnel. The Foundation’s accounts are subject to an independent annual audit.
Appointment and re-appointment of Trustees is by Trustees’ resolution. The Trustees are appointed for a term of five years after which they may be re-appointed for a further three years but serve no more than eight years in total, other than in exceptional circumstances. The board may re-appoint a Trustee beyond the aggregate period of eight years if there is a good reason for so doing and by unanimous vote of those present at a meeting. The Chairman is appointed by the Trustees for one year.
The board regularly reviews the range of skills among Trustees. The Foundation encourages training and development of Trustees by promoting attendance at events organised by the Association of Charitable Foundations, appropriate training sessions and other topical, financial and investment seminars.
New Trustees are chosen for the particular skills and experience they can bring to the board. Potential Trustees are interviewed and briefed by the Chairman on their legal obligations under charity law and the Trust Deed, the function of the committees and the decision-making processes at the Foundation. They are provided with the Charity Commission’s ‘Trustee Welcome Pack’, ‘Essential Trustee’ and ‘Making decisions at a charity’ guidance as well as with the Foundation’s own information pack including the Trust Deed, accounts and annual report. When a new Trustee joins the board, they receive minutes of Trustees’ recent meetings and other management and financial reports and are encouraged to attend a training seminar for new Trustees organised by external bodies.
The Trustees consider the board of Trustees and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and running the Foundation on a day-today basis. The Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of Trustees’ reimbursed expenses are disclosed in note 5.
The remuneration of the senior staff is reviewed by the Trustees on an annual basis taking into account the requirements of their role and performance during the year. From time to time the Trustees benchmark pay levels against comparable positions in similar organisations.
The Trustees have complied with the Charities Act, having due regard for the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation’s aims and objectives, in setting the grant making policy and in making awards. These are made only to UK registered charities, which individually have to meet the public benefit requirement.
Achievements and performance
In 2025 the Trustees made new offers of grants, some multi-year, amounting to £2,204,900, cancelled a grant with a value of £25,000 and paid grants to 209 organisations totalling £2,725,950. At the end of the year under review the Foundation had outstanding grant offers and commitments of £1,327,000.

THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The relevance of each application and the potential outcome that an applicant proposes to achieve with help of a grant from the Foundation is assessed against the stated criteria and objectives in each category of the Trustees’ grant making policy. While the monitoring and evaluation of outcomes remains the responsibility of grantees, the majority of organisations are asked to send a progress report within a year of a grant being paid. With multi-year grant awards, a progress report is requested within a year of each payment and prior to further payments. The report is required to detail the results and outcomes of the project and the extent to which the project is meeting the objectives stated in the original application. The Trustees and staff also make their own assessment by occasionally visiting some of the recipient organisations. Overall, these processes provide evidence that the Trustees continue to meet their charitable objectives by funding a variety of organisations, the majority of which have met, and some exceeded, their stated outcomes.
The report below provides details of grant distribution by category although it should be noted that several grants impact on more than one area. The narrative below highlights some outcomes achieved with the financial contribution from the Foundation this year.
Grants paid during the year were distributed as follows: -
| Social and Criminal Justice Heritage and Conservation Overseas Small Grants (Older People) Miscellaneous TOTAL |

This report highlights representative grants paid during 2025:
Social and Criminal Justice
The Foundation supported projects that help to prevent people entering the criminal justice system, and which support those already in the system to rebuild their lives. Funding in this category is aimed at early intervention programmes for vulnerable young children and their families, tailored preventative work with young people at risk of offending, services that try to reduce re-offending and aid resettlement, and programmes of support that alleviate the consequences of domestic abuse. A total of 91 grants were made in this area in 2025.
Switchback received the second of two grant payments of £25,000 towards the charity’s intensive mentoring and practical training programme supporting young men (aged 18-30) leaving prison in London. Centred on a meaningful relationship between a Switchback Mentor and Trainee, consistent one-to-one support is provided beginning up to three months pre-release and continuing through the transition back into the community. Switchback help trainees build motivation and navigate services, providing support across ten life pathways (e.g. housing, finances, physical and mental health, etc), and access to real-work training. Outcomes include improved stability and confidence, positive progress in education, training or employment, and re-offending rates significantly below the national average.
A first grant instalment (of two) of £25,000 was made to Staying Put towards the charity’s hospitalbased Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (HIDVA) at Bradford Royal Infirmary who works in the context of pre- and post-natal services, supporting new and expectant mothers experiencing abuse. The Maternity HIDVA is embedded within the community midwifery pathway and hospital network, and has become a trusted, visible, and highly effective presence for women at one of the most vulnerable points in their lives. The role focuses on women’s safety, provides information and support, and makes referrals to other services, as well as training hospital staff to identify the signs of abuse, ensuring that women experiencing abuse are identified earlier and supported more effectively.
The Recruitment Junction received the first of two grant payments of £25,000 towards its work supporting people with convictions into paid employment through a combination of prison-based and community interventions. Working across North East England, the charity’s team of Specialist Recruitment Consultants provide one ‑ to ‑ one mentoring, group support and practical pre ‑ employment preparation (e.g. CV writing, mock interviews, disclosure coaching, etc), before matching candidates to suitable vacancies from the charity’s network of 50+ employer partners, as well as providing in ‑ work support once employment is secured. Historically, over 70% beneficiaries have secured paid employment.

THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Overseas
In this category, the trustees made grants to charities that delivered projects in Commonwealth countries in Africa. Charities must be registered in the UK and adequate local monitoring must be demonstrated. Projects that improve access to clean water and sanitation, develop sustainable livelihoods in the context of environmental and wildlife conservation, and create self-sustainability through training in farming skills and income generation activities were considered in this category. 15 grants were paid in this group in 2025.
The Foundation funded Pump Aid with a grant of £15,000 towards expanding its professional water point repair and maintenance service in Malawi. Through the project four local water entrepreneurs are trained, mentored and supported to become Area Mechanics, establishing businesses that provide repair and maintenance services to at least 100 community water points, restoring access to safe water for over 41,000 people. Communities are supported to take ownership of their waterpoint assets and contribute in a financially sustainable way, helping to ensure long-term functionality.
Sand Dams Worldwide received a grant of £15,000 towards one of their projects in the Ukambani region of southeast Kenya, which support rural, dryland communities to improve water security and build more resilient, sustainable livelihoods. Working with their local NGO partner, African Sand Dam Foundation ‑ (ASDF), the project includes construction of a sand dam to provide year round clean safe water, as well as community water, sanitation and hygiene training. Communities will receive training in sustainable, climate-smart agricultural methods, and be supported to establish a demonstration farm, tree nursery and seed bank. The project will benefit 170 people directly and a further 1,000 indirectly.
‑ A grant of £15,000 was made to Tools for Self Reliance towards an income generation project supporting women from female ‑ headed households in Duusi, northern Ghana. Working with long ‑ term ‑ partner, Trax Ghana, the project provides agri business training, tools and inputs to 50 women, enabling ‑ them to cultivate sweet potatoes and produce high quality shea butter using locally available processing equipment. Participants also receive business, financial management and microfinance training, alongside sexual and reproductive health education. The project will facilitate farmer ‑ to ‑ farmer learning and expansion into local markets, improving household income and food security with wider benefits for an estimated 1,250 family members.
Small Grants (Older People)
The small grant programme is open to charities operating in the British Isles with an annual income of less than £350,000. It provides grants of up to £10,000 for projects being delivered at community/grassroots levels which improve the physical and emotional health of older people, including projects that alleviate loneliness and isolation, provide practical help and support to older people living in their own homes, and address the needs of people with dementia and their carers. In 2025, 58 grants were made in this category. A list of small grants with the purpose for which each grant was made is attached to these statements.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees will continue supporting charities by making grants for projects within their grant making policy areas. They will continue monitoring the financial performance of their investment portfolio with a particular reference to the achievement of their longer-term strategy which gives greater emphasis to the preservation of capital.
In 2024 the Trustees made a decision in principle to sell Hayward House and relocate elsewhere with various options being considered in future years.
TRUSTEE ACTIVITIES
Trustees, members of the finance committee and staff attended various charity events and webinars and seminars on investment management and investment strategy, including the Newton/BNY Mellon Charity Investment Conference.

THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
INVESTMENT POWERS, GRANT DISTRIBUTION, RESERVES POLICY AND GOING CONCERN
The Charles Hayward Foundation is a grant making charity. Its assets are essential to support the activities of the Foundation and are held as investments and bank deposits.
The Trustees’ powers of investment, and to expend capital and income, are not restricted under the originating Trust Deed and, in accordance with the Deed, they have absolute discretion to invest in such shares, stocks, funds, securities and property as they see fit.
The Foundation does not seek to retain reserves as the Expendable Endowment gives Trustees the flexibility to use capital as well as income to meet the charity’s operating costs and grant making obligations. Any operating deficit arising on income is met from the endowment fund and any surplus that may arise on income is expended in future years.
The Foundation aims to make grants based on a formula with an annual distribution rate of 3.2% applied to the average investment value on 31[st] December each year, over five years while taking into account annual running costs. The formula is designed to smooth annual grant distribution while maintaining the capital base in real terms over time. The formula has been operational since 2013 and at the end of 2025 the value of the endowment is 7.6% higher than the value of the 2013 endowment expressed in 2025 terms.
At the end of 2025, the total endowment fund stands at £90,053,466 (2024: 82,822,952) and there is no balance on the unrestricted income fund.
The Trustees have considered the financial budgets and cash flow forecasts for the Foundation for the period to July 2027 covering a minimum of 12 months from date of signing, reviewed the financial performance of the investment portfolio and the ability of the Foundation to meet current and new grant commitments.
The Trustees consider the Foundation to have adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and therefore there are no material uncertainties over the Foundation’s financial viability. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The financial objective of the Foundation is to grow in real terms the Foundation’s capital base in the medium term, while providing increasing income to fund the Foundation’s grant making activities. The Foundation assets are invested in line with these aims. Trustees presently see no reason to exclude particular sectors from their investments - this is reviewed annually - however, they expect their investment managers to demonstrate responsible stewardship of investment assets.
The Foundation currently adopts a total return approach to investment and the Trustees may use capital as well as income to meet the charity’s operating costs and grant making obligations. It is expected that, if in any one year the total return is insufficient to meet the charity’s budgeted expenditure, in the longterm investment gains should enable the fund to be maintained in real terms. The investment managers’ mandate is to manage the portfolio on a discretionary basis and in line with the overall policy. The inflation measure most relevant to the Foundation is the Consumer Price Index. Over a longer period, the Trustees compare performance to CPI+4% after fees.
Since 1[st] January 2020 the Foundation’s assets are managed by two investment houses – Newton Investment Management and Oxford University Endowment Management. The Newton portfolio is currently held in their pooled fund, the Newton Growth and Income Fund for Charities; it’s mandate is to deliver capital growth and income. The Newton Fund is managed with reference to a composite benchmark. The Oxford Endowment Fund’s aim is to preserve and grow the value of perpetuity capital whilst providing a sustainable income stream to fund charitable activities. The fund is focused on delivering absolute real returns of 5% per annum. OEF is not benchmarked; one of its key approaches is a multi-year time horizon which aligns well with the Foundation’s long-term view and aims.

THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR
The assets of the Foundation comprise fixed assets used in its operations and investments which provide returns. The net incoming resources of the Foundation for the year ended 31[st] December 2025 and the financial position at that date is set out in the financial statements which follow.
The financial statements show that the Foundation received income of £87,438 (2024: £129,426) in the year. The cost of grant making was £2,936,656 (2024: £3,015,432). The net operating deficit for the year was £3,270,098 (2024: £3,285,897), which was funded by the sale of units in the Newton investment portfolio and receipt of investment gains from the OEF portfolio. The financial statements show that the total funds were £90,053,466 (2024: £82,070,787) at the end of the year, after total investment gains for the year of £10,500,612 (2024: gain of £8,070,787). Investment management costs amounted to £420,880 in 2025 (2024: £399,891).
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
In 2025 the investment assets of the Foundations were divided between two investment houses: Newton Investment Management Ltd and Oxford University Endowment Management. In 2025 the Newton Investment fund generated 13.8% after fees, underperforming its benchmark return of 16.8% but achieving the Foundation’s longer return target of CPI+4%. The OEF portfolio recorded a return of 7.9% after fees, outperforming its objective of 5% real return, meeting the Foundation’s longer-term target.
In the year total investments to the value of £2,500,000 were encashed from the Newton Portfolio to support operational activities. In addition, investment gains of £1,327,010 were released from the OEF portfolio. Unrealised investment gains of £2,157,738, after OEF fees, were made representing 6.4% increase (2024 increase of 7.3%) of the investment portfolio value at the start of the year.
The Trustees believe that the changes made in investment strategy in 2019 and the subsequent repositioning of the Foundation’s portfolio will contribute to the aim of maintaining the value of the endowment fund in the longer term. The position will continue to be monitored in the years ahead.
On 31[th] March, the Newton portfolio valuation was £53,539,796. Oxford University Endowment Fund valuation on 31[st] March 2026 shows an (estimated) value of £33,802,702.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
follow applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the accounts;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act
6
THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of Information to Auditors
Insofar as each of the Trustees of the charity at the date of approval of this report is aware there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the charity’s auditor in connection with preparing the audit report) of which the charity’s auditor is unaware. Each Trustee has taken all of the steps that he/she should have taken as a Trustee in order to make himself/herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditor is aware of that information.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees and management assess the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and this process continued during the year. In the opinion of the Trustees the charity has established, and continues to operate, systems and controls to mitigate risks to an acceptable level in day-to-day operations.
The Trustees identified the uncertainty of financial returns to constitute the charity’s major financial risk. This is mitigated by having a diversified financial portfolio under the management of two investment houses operating to different mandates. Working through the financial sub-committee the Trustees regularly review investment strategy and monitor financial performance. They also operate a grant distribution formula which helps to ensure the stability of resources available for grant awards in any given year.
Another major risk identified during the review is a misuse of funds by a grantee charity. To mitigate this risk the Trustees restrict grants to charities registered with the UK Charity Commission or equivalent bodies. The awards are made following a due diligence process and grants are monitored; multiple grants are paid only on receipt of satisfactory progress reports.
A further major risk is IT related fraud and cyber crime. The Foundation’s staff participate in training on tackling financial fraud and mitigating cyber risk, read related guidance and are subscribed to the charity fraud awareness hub to receive email notices about new IT scams. In addition, the Foundation has taken insurance policy against cyber threats including social engineering.

THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees in office during the year were as follows:
Mrs. S.J. Heath (Chairman) Mrs. E. Cameron Mrs. J. M. Chamberlain Mrs. C. Donald Mr A.J. Heath Mr. R. Griffith Mr. B. D. Insch Mr. J.N. van Leuven, K.C.
No Trustee had any beneficial interest in any contract with the charity during the year. Mr. Brian Insch retired during the year. The trustees wish to express their sincere appreciation and gratitude for his dedicated leadership on the Finance Committee and his invaluable contribution to the Foundation’s grant making over many years.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY
The Charles Hayward Foundation is an equal opportunities employer and will apply objective criteria to assess merit. It aims to ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, race, colour, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origin, gender, marital status, sexual orientation or disability.
Selection criteria and procedures are reviewed to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities. All employees are given equal opportunity and, where appropriate and possible, special training to enable them to progress both within and outside the organisation. The Charles Hayward Foundation is committed to a programme of action to make this policy effective and has brought it to the attention of all employees.

THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of the Charles Hayward Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Charles Hayward Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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 December 2024, 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 Charities Act 2011.
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 trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.
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 course of 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.
9
THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees 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
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company through enquiry and inspection;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-andguidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-foraudit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Trustees have considered the financial budgets and cash flow forecasts for the Foundation for the period to July 2026 covering a minimum of 12 months from date of signing.
The Trustees consider the Foundation to have adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and there are therefore no material uncertainties over the Foundation’s financial viability. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling and rounded to the nearest £.
(b) Income
Income is derived from the encashment of investment units.
Any recoverable taxation, which are included on an accruals basis.
(c) Expenditure
Costs of generating funds represent amounts paid to the Foundation's external investment advisors.
Charitable activities expenditure comprises grants and donations awarded by the Trustees in accordance with criteria set out in the Trust Deed, together with grant related support expenditure. Grants are charged to the statement of financial activities when a legal or constructive obligation arises when the other party has a reasonable expectation of receipt.
Grant related support costs represent staff, office and governance costs incurred in managing the grant award programme.
(d) Investments
Investments are included in the accounts at mid-market value at the balance sheet date and the surplus or deficit on this revaluation, together with realised gains and losses, is included within investment gains or losses on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities. Investment management costs are charged against the expendable endowment.
15
THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
(e) Governance Costs
These comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
(f) Pensions
Employees of the Foundation are entitled to avail themselves of a pension scheme whereby individual money purchase contributions are matched by contributions by the Foundation as a percentage of salary. The Foundation’s contribution is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year. No contributions were outstanding at the year end.
(g) Taxation
The Foundation carries on activities which are exempt from corporation tax and income tax.
(h) Intangible Fixed assets
Intangible assets are capitalised when
-
it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the charity, and
-
the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Depreciation has been calculated at the following annual rates, in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Website development costs 33% straight line
(i) Tangible Fixed assets
Freehold property is stated at valuation in 1990 by the predecessor charity, The Hayward Foundation, less depreciation. Furniture and office equipment, including computer equipment, is stated at cost, or valuation by the predecessor charities, less depreciation. Tangible assets with costs of £500 or more are capitalised.
Depreciation has been calculated at the following annual rates, in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Buildings 2% straight line Furniture and office equipment 20% straight line Computer equipment 33% straight line
The furniture in the office is mainly antique and has a residual value in excess of book value. Depreciation is not therefore provided, as the amount of any depreciation charge would not be material.
The freehold property requires routine internal and external refurbishment reflecting its age. Costs arising from meeting these needs are expensed in the year the expenditure is incurred as the need is identified and the refurbishment takes place. Material expenditure is disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

THE CHARLES HAYWARD FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
(i) The Trust Fund
Expendable Endowment
The trust deed provides that the Trustees shall hold the capital of the Trust Fund as expendable endowment and the income thereof for the benefit of such charitable purposes as the Trustees may determine. This fund as a whole therefore provides the core cash receipts of the Foundation and thereby the finance for its continuing activities. In 2013 and for future years the Trustees agreed to allocate an amount to the grant programme based on a percentage of the fund value on 31[st] December, calculated on a five-year moving average basis and taking into account annual running costs. The Fund is subject to review by the Trustees from time to time to take account of the impact of inflation and so ensure that so far as possible its value is maintained in the accounts in real terms.
Unrestricted Income Fund
The policy of the Trustees is to expend within a reasonable time its cash receipts from investments after deducting the costs of generating funds and administrative costs. Any balance on the Fund is transferred to the expendable endowment at the end of the year and remains available for future years.
(k) Financial instruments
The Charles Hayward Foundation has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with accrued interest and other debtors. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise grants payable and accruals.
Investments are held as part of an investment portfolio are held at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, with gains and losses being recognised within income and expenditure.
(l) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand, cash held for reinvestment and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
(m) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates, assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
