Fire Fighters Charity TRUSTEES, REPORT Financial Review The consolidated accounts for the year are set out on pages 22 to 48 and should be read in conjunction with this section of the Trustees, report. A summary of the financial results and the work of the Charity are sel out below. The net movement in funds for the year amounted lo £884,374. This is represented by.. Incoming resources Resources expended Net outgoing resources 9,561,165 9 838 926 (277,7611 Gain on investment assets Actuarial gain on defined benefit pension scheme 1,119,135 884 374 Capital Expenditure The investment in capital expenditure during the year amounted lo £121,365. Incoming Resources Overall, 2021-22 was a posrfcive year for income, with total incoming resources recovery well from the challenges faced in 2020121. In total £9,561,165 of income was generated, an increase of £1,288,807 on the £8,272,358 raised in 2020-21. The impact of Covid 19 was much less in 2021-22, and as a result the income generated activities which had been most affected by the Government reslriclions, started to recover. For example, Corporate and other donations, which had fallen by £1.1 m in 2020-21, increased by £0.7m this year to £2m. Legacy income, which was also down last year, increased by £0.6m, in some part due to delays in processing the estates of those who had died during the pandemic., with income of £1.2m being £0.4m greater than the amount achieved two years prior in 2019-20. Committed giving continued to grow steadily, primarily through the recruitment of new lottery players. In total income from Regular Giving and Lottery increased to £4.1m, up from £4.Om in 2020-21. The recovery of Corporate and other donations and Legacy income helped to off-set the reduction in funding this year from the Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. With activities returning to normal only £67k of grants were claimed from this scheme in 2021-22, compared with £1.1 m during 2020-21., this income is included within Grants. Recycling income, which is included in Trading income, was also negatively impacted in 2020-21, with income falling by £0.2m, as was Centre generated income due lo the centres being closed for most of the year. Both these activities recovered well during 2021-22 conlribuling to an increase in income of £0.9m and a total for the year of £1.5m While the recovery of income in 2021-22 is very positive, the most significant impact of the pandemic over the first two years of the strategic plan is a delay in achieving the targeted growth in sustainable income. Plans for the remaining three years of the plan will need lo be adjusted lo help miligale this. ReSoUr￿S Expended Total expenditure for the year was £9,838,926 compared with £8,743,323 for the year before, a £1.1 m or 12.5'1o increase, a result which is comparable to expenditure levels before Covid. The re-opening of our centres contributed to most of this increase with increased costs associated with delivering services and generating trading income.

For our external face to face lollery agency, we make welcome calls to new supporters, have regular catch ups with team leaders and their managers, as well monitoring all feedback from donors about their experience. In respect of complying with the Code of Fundraising Practice, we have had no adjudications and have had no Signifi￿nt failures. We record and investigate all fundraising complaints received and use this information to inform our fundraising strategy. For the financial year 21-22 we received 28 complaints related to our fundraising activity compared to 21 the previous year.11 should be noted that allhoLJgh this is a rise on the previous Fire Fighters Charity 13

Fire Fighters Charity TRUSTEES, REPORT year the number of fundraising activities and interactions was significantly higher in 2021-22 compared to the pandemic year 2020-21. We ensure that our fundraisers follow the Fundraising R￿LjIa10r'S policy on vulnerable people. We listen lo our donors and lake on board their feedback and change our behaviour accordingly. For example, we do not use telephone fundraising after 8pm as our supporters told LJS that they did not want lo be called after this lime. We also work in line with the best practice guidance from Institute of Fundraising, documented in their Guide 'Trealing donors fairly fundraising with people in vulnerable circumstances" When working with an external agency we ensure th81 they have a vulnerable person policy in place and do not work with agencies that do not have this. For our lottery and raffles, we 81so have a Social Responsibility Policy which is published on our website. All fundraisers (internal and extemall have 8 training session to understand this policy before they promote our lottery, and they have regular refresher sessions. Wilhoul the generous support of donors, the Charity could not provide the mental, physical, and social support lo thousands of beneficiaries every year. We will therefore always sel out lo fundraise in an open, honest, and respectful manner. Fire Fighters Trading Limited Following a difficult 2020121, where the negative impact of the global coronavirus pandemic (Covid 191 had resulted in a 48 /0 fall in profits, by conlrasl 2021122, which had been targeted lo still fall short of the £822k profit achieved in 2019120, exceeded all expectations by breaking the £1 m profit barrier, enabling a proposed donation lo the Fire Fighters Charity of £1,029k. Recycling activities began the year on a redU￿d pri￿ per lonne, reflecting the negative impact of Covid on the recyding Industry. However, during the yearthe pri￿ was able to return lo pr&covid levels. Despite achieving a lower average price per tonne across the year, the volume of recycling donations grew considerably and so despite not earning the full pri￿ for much of the year, total income was £799k. £155k higher than the pre-covid income achieved in 2019120. Unlike in 2020121, changes to the Covid related Government restrictions and guidance allowed the centres to be opèn for much of the year. This increased the opportunity lo generate income again from these resources. In lolal £501 k of income was achieved, mostly from rental income. This amount of income was comparable lo the levels achieved pre-covid. Merchandise activities were dosed in the first quarter of 2020121 bul had been open as normal since then. Progress has bèen made this year to both increase sales and profitability. Income for the year increased to £206k from £138k, when adjusting for the number of months trading in each business year, this would equate lo a 120/0 growth in income. Achieving a profil of more than £1 m is a very satisfying result, achieved from continued growth in recycling coupled wf(h other income generating activities returning to pre-covid levels. Looking forward, all three of these activities have the potential lo grow further and 22123 is targeted with increasing prorrt by a further 140/0. Reserves Policy The reserves policy aims lo ensure that where setbacks occur, the Charity holds sufficient reserves lo ensure the conlinuily of servi￿$ to beneficiaries. It also, where opportunities exist, allows the board lo identify and allocate additional reserves lo support rts strategic direction. 11 does this in the following way.. The tangible fixed assets, which are used lo achieve the goals of the charity, plus the investment properties that are held for income generation purposes, are designated lo recognise that these fLJnds are not freely or easily available for any other purpose. Fire Fighters Charity 14

Fire Fighters Charity TRUSTEES, REPORT To enable the Charity lo maintain services to beneficiaries the board have identified that an amount equivalent to between 9 and 12 months of normal operating expenditure will be held as free reserves to protect against any Ljnforeseen loss of income or increase in costs, this reserves also ensure that Trustees can allocate additional appropriate funds when needed lo support urgent beneficiary need. Alongside this, the board will continually review the total amount of available reserves and wherever possible look to provide additional designated funds lo further support the implementation of current and future strategic plans. When needed, il will also take appropriate and timely action lo manage any risks 8SSOCl8ted with 8ny shortf811 in funds compared with the minimum targeted level of free reserves. To support the ambitious aims of the strategic plan the board have designated £4.6m to the strategic fund, this allows the management team to confidently progress with plans to deliver the outcomes targeted over the next three years. With the sc8le of both the breadth of support provided and the number of benefici8ries supported increasing, annual expenditure is projected to increase loo. Al present the level of free reserves is equivalent to 12 months planned expenditure for 22123, which is in line with the higher end of the free reserves target sel by the policy. With annual expenditure largeled lo rise in the coming years il is important that an amount equivalent lo the higher level is held now, this enables expenditure levels lo increase while remaining within the boundaries sel by this policy. Projected income and expenditure for the final year of the current plan indicate that further strategic plan funds are likely lo be needed beyond the time frame of this plan to support planned increased running costs, this is because il is expected that the required growth in sustainable annual income will tske longer lo achieve. Al 31 March 2022 the reserves tolalled £34,697,301. This is represented by.. Restricted Funds Designated Funds General Funds 236,517 £ 20,540,754 £ 13,920,031 £ 34,697,302 As al 31 March 2022 the Charfcy has a defined benefit pension scheme surplus of £487,000. These funds are allocated lo general funds. Risk Management There is a Board approved Operating PrO￿dUre for Risk Management. Processes are in place lo enable Trustees to examine major strategic and operational risks. Risk Management is part of the working lives of staff and volunteers and is an integral part of performan￿ management. Risk assessment has been introduced as part of many policies and procedures. Strategic risk registers are reviewed by the Finance and Audit Committee al each meeting and the full board annually. The Trustees confirm that the major risks that they have identified lo which the Charity is exposed have been reviewed, and systems and procedures have been established lo manage those risks. The current strategic risks identified include the challenge to secure new funds from fire service, public and corporate donors lo deliver our strategic plan, whether our engagement with our beneficiary population will be sufficient andlor effective enough, that we fail lo provide easily accessible support for all our beneficiary population, that our ¢enlres do not fully utilise the resources provided and that we do not achieve sufficient credibility to be the lead provider of health and wellbeing support for our beneficiary population. Safeguarding We will not tolerate the abuse of adults in any of its forms and we are commilled to safeguarding adults with care and support needs and ensuring that all our services are delivered within a safe and effective framework. Fire Fighters Charity 15

Fire Fighters Charity TRUSTEES, REPORT We respect the rights of all service users lo live their chosen life with privacy, dignity, independence, choice and fulfilmenl. Responsibility for working prevenlalively, safeguarding and protecting service users, privacy, dignity and respect does not lie with one individual or groLJP but with all our employees at every level. Safeguarding and respect are not additional elements of our service I care provision, but integral lo the delivery of high-quality and safe and effective services. We are committed to working collaboratively and in partnership with other agencies to ensure service users access their human right to live a life that is free from harm, neglect and exploitation. Environmental Statement We lake our impact on the environment seriously and along with some recent specific activities we have a number of solar panels in each of our three centres which have generated approximately $60,000 Kwh since inslallalion in November 2014. We work closely with our suppliers in relation lo their environmental impact on the production and transport of products. When considering new procurement, environmental slalus and accreditation are considered, for existing suppliers we work with them lo help reduce carbon footprint costs associated with Iransportalion through effective purchasing. We also work with our suppliers lo identify potential changes in the products we purchase which will help to reduce chemicals that we use. We have developed close links with the Environment Agency al both Harcombe House in Devon and Jubilee House in Cumbria. Both properties have either a river running through the land or bordering it. Al Jubilee House our teams worked closely with the Environmental Agency following flooding in 2016. The property now has a high specification flood defence system and further work continues with the Environment Agency on their proposals for the weir on the River Eamonl which borders our property. introduce more natural solutions. Our 300-acre sile at Harcombe House in Devon uses re-claimed rainwater for much of the maintenance required to keep the grounds in a well-kept slate. In addition, petrol vehicles used around the grounds have been changed for electric powered buggies. The site also works closely with the RSPCA to monitor and care for the wildlife in the grounds, ensuring that they have suitable surroundings to thrive. We have also developed links with the Forestry Commission, whose land borders ours, to ensure the acres of wo(Idland that covers both properties are well maintained and safe and promote the growth of wildflowers across both areas. We offer our employees flexible working arrangements where possible, and meetings are held via video conferencing where appropriate,. one benefit of both is the reduction of travel. All our sites recycle, and we encourage our guests to consider recycling by providing collection facilities for different waste products. 82.20/0 of our waste generated al our centres last year was diverted from landfill and recycled. The first stage of the Environmental Management System IEMS} has been implemented, measuring the impact the charity has on the environment through a critical impact register. During this year we were able lo make a reduction in this impact score of 9.7Q/o. We have implemented a very SUC￿8sful clothing recycling scheme across the UK, helping to reduce the amount of material that goes lo landfill while at the same lo generating valuable income for the Charity. Since 2009 the campaign has recycled over 30,000 tonnes of clothing, generating over £5M of income for the Charity. From October 2021, loo,￿ of our electricity was provided from renewable sources in through green energy purchasing. Our centres produce our own electricity via our solar panels which is utilised and also sold to the national grid. Our natural gas used by the charity is now also carbon neutral as we continue to source this via a carbon offset supplier and accredited Unrf(ed Nations CERS (Carbon Emission Reductions) scheme Fire Fighters Charity 16

Fire Fighters Charity TRUSTEES, REPORT which aims to help reduce and prevent carbon dioxide emissions through projects in developing countries under its Clean Development Mechanism. In the coming year we intend to expand the environmental impact register to measure our impact across the wider charity activities that lake place outside of our properties. We also are investigating longer term Environmental impact opportunities such as centre based renewable energy options, alternative heal SOLJrces for properties and the inslallalion electric vehicle charging points al our centres to enable both employees and beneficiaries have the option to reduce their individual impact on the Environment when travelling to and from our properties. We are investing in Environmental training and during the next year members of our Estates and Facilities team will undertake the NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate qualification. We will also be rolling out"Environmental Awareness. lo the organisation Going Concern Covid 19 resulted in the Charity's rehabilitation centres and head office being closed for most of the 2020121. It also caused the cancellation of fundraising events and aclivilies. 2021122 was less affected with a gradual return towards pre-covid levels of activity. While the pandemic impacted the Charity's ability lo support beneficiaries, the financial impact on the two years was modest, this was due to a reduction in running costs and government support for wages through the job retention scheme. The Charity was able to make progress with implementing the new strategic plan, with the development of new digital solutions helping lo mitigate some of the challenges of the pandemic. These planned strategic investments also contributed to the losses made in both years. The Charity's ability lo progress with the strategic aims during these challenging limes was due lo the strength of reserves held which enabled the Trustees to designate reserves to mitigate the impact of a reduction in income as well as reserves lo support the objectives of the &year strategic plan. As al the 31 March 2022 less than £0.8m of reserves had been used lo support losses during this period. This has allowed the board to allocate additional funds lo support years 3 to 5 of the plan. In addition to these designated funds the reserves policy requirement lo hold between nine and twelve months of expenditure has also been met. The ability lo continLJe to fund strategic plans during a global crisis while operating within the framework of the reserves policy demonslrales the Charity s ability to continue as a going concern. Future Plans 2022-23 will be the third year of our ambitious 5-year Strategic Plan and despite the external challenges faced in the first two years, we look forward to building on our success in the year ahead holding to the vision that our beneficiaries will see us that 'third space, be that virtual or physical a place of community and connection that enables them to mobilize around their health and wellbeing. In line with the plan, we will further enhance our support lo the workfor￿, our families, and the retired community, increasing the number of individuals that we help lo 8,000. We will do this through the implementation of several projects within each of the four portfolios outlined in this report, collectively enabling us work towards achieve our aims by 2025. With a drive for activation of people lo engage with prevention, and a philosophy of recovery underpinning our critical response work our key outcomes for the next ￿e1ve months include.. Driving forward our wellness coaching and learning opportunities Expanding our reach to more beneficiaries and making access to support easier Increasing our critical response provision, particularly in response to mental health Developing our volunteering opportunities Fire Fighters Charity 17

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.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misslalement 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 slatemenls, 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.

Fire Fighters Charity NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 March 2022 RETIREMENT BENEFITS For defined benefit schemes the amount charged lo resources expended in respect of pension costs and other post-retiremenl benefits is the estimated regular cost of providing the benefits accrued in the year, adjusted to reflect variations from that cost. The interest cost and expected return on assets are included within resources expended. Actuarial gains and losses arising from new valuations and from updating valuations to the Balance Sheet dale are recognised in the Slalements of Financial Activities and Balance Sheets as actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension scheme. Defined benefit schemes are funded, with the assets held separately from the group in separate trustee administered funds. Full actuarial valuations, by a professionally qualified actuary, are obtained al least every 3 years, and updated to reflect current conditions at each Balan￿ Sheet date. The pension scheme assets are measured al fair value. The pension scheme liabilities are measured using the proje¢ted unil method and discounted al the current rale of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency. A pension scheme asset is recognised on the Balance Sheets only lo the extent that the surplus may be recovered by redU￿d future contributions or to the extent that the Trustees have agreed a refund from the scheme al the Balance Sheet date. A pension scheme liability is recognised to the extent that the group has a legal or constructive obligation lo settle the liability. For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to Statements of Financial Activities in respect of pension costs and other post-reliremenl benefits is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prep8yments in the Balance Sheets. LIQUID RESOURCES Liquid reSoUr￿S are represented by monies held by the Charity's investment managers for investment purposes. These funds are held as cash deposits. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY The preparation of the financial statements requires management lo make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet dale and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of eslimalion means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements lapart from those involving eslimatesl have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Tangible fixed assets (see note 10) Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. Residual value assessments Consider issues such as the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. GOING CONCERN As outlined in the Trustees, report the Trustees consider that despite the economic impact of Covid 19, the strength of reserves held will enable the Charity lo sustain losses in the next 12 months while still progressing with new strategic plans. The trustees are therefore of the opinion that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Fire Fighters Charity 31
