Leicestershire Cares Limited is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 25 September 2003.

Directors and trustees

The directors of the charitable company ("the charity") are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the trustees.

One third of the trustees, who are subject to retirement by rotation, shall retire from office and be subject to reappointment by the members at each Annual General Meeting.

The trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act as a trustee to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee. A trustee so appointed will hold office until the next following Annual General Meeting and shall be subject to reappointment by the members.

Trustees are given an appropriate period of induction and training. This is dependent on the individual's requirements and knowledge of the charity's activities. All trustees are reminded of their statutory obligations and given appropriate guidance and training on their responsibilities as trustees.

The Chair of the Board assesses the skills and contribution of each trustee during the year to ensure all are contributing appropriately to the charity's management.

EDUCATION

This academic year 240 business volunteers from 42 different businesses reached 4,050 students. 28 employability events and mock interview days have been delivered to 32 mainstream and SEND schools across the city and county, seven of which are identified as educating the most deprived students in the city and county area.

CARE EXPERIENCED YOUNG PEOPLE

We supported 61 young people through one to one and group work sessions. 12 were supported to enter employment, education, or training and almost all reported developing a wide range of soft and hard skills as result of participating in these activities.

In addition, we supported 220 young people, mainly unaccompanied asylum seekers from Africa, through weekly football sessions.

Awide range of issues were tackled and dealt with during these activities.

Young people produced, promoted and shared the “Change the Script’ video which highlighted the strength care experience young people have and some of the challenges they face.

Young people also met with key decision makers including MPs in Westminster to use their lived experience to try and shape and improve service provision.

POWER TO CHANGE CONFERENCE

We brought over 200 leaders, thinkers, activists and practitioners from across public, community, business and education sectors together with our young people, staff and community partners, at King Power Stadium, to share and learn how they could connect and collaborate in a creative way to bring about change.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

We have worked directly with 197 young people who have attended groups and activities we run including arts and media sessions, employability sessions and one to one sessions.

We have also supported and run outreach sessions for a number of community and youth groups and public sector initiatives and through this work have supported another 250 young people.

Our ongoing evaluations show that over 90% of the young people we work with feel they have improved their soft and hard skills, particularly confidence, knowledge of who to go to for help, making connections, employability skills, confidence and speaking out. Of the NEET YP we have supported 56% have gone into education or work and 83% of the young people we work with who offend have stopped offending.

29 local businesses donated 1,087 #BagsofHope which were delivered to 37 community groups to distribute to people in need.

The Watches of Switzerland Group Foundation partnered with our team to distribute 150 winter coats to people in need over the winter through our network of community partners.

Our network of Business partners donated 1,535 Easter eggs and craft sets, which were distributed to families and children in need through our network of community partners.

Our #PowerToChange community partners group continued to meet on a regular basis and has become recognised as a key platform for grassroots community organisations to share, leam, plan and influence local decision makers.

PROGRAMME UPDATES

Our city and county continue to face many challenges which are exacerbated by poverty. Both the city and county council have been making significant cuts to services as poverty continues to rise. Alongside this, 80% of industry in Leicester is SME based and has been hit hard by the continuing knock-on effects of lockdown, rising prices and complications in supply chains. All of which creates alot of challenges for communities and neighbourhoods.

“It really is a tough time to be working in the community sector, as all around us are cuts and rising needs, and growing uncertainty. Which is why it is more important than ever that we are able to work without ego, silo, or logo, across community, public, and business sector, to enable and support young people and neighbourhoods to flourish”

Children and Young People

Our work with children and young people has two main areas of operation.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Education

As noted above we have enabled hundreds of business volunteers to support thousands of pupils across mainstream and specialist schools.

We took part in a pilot delivery of “Unbox your future” in partnership with Leicester and Leicestershire Business Skills Partnership; the project aims to deliver sessional “work experience” to disadvantaged young students in years 10 and 11. We delivered our “get into podcasting” sessions at Foxfield Academy , a SEMH (social , emotional and mental health) school, utilising podcasting to nurture key work skills such as workplace behaviours, collaborative ideas sharing, assigning key tasks, marketing and giving persuasive presentations. Following positive feedback from all parties, including students, we hope to deliver to another six schools in the coming academic year.

We have continued our work in SEND schools and through our “Altogether Now’ project which works with post 16 students in SEND Schools. We have engaged 103 individual students into bespoke interventions such as world of work tours, CV workshops, careers talks and mock interviews. 31 business volunteers have supported this work, and the number is set to grow in the coming academic year. This will give a real boost to the career aspirations of SEND young people.

Our Go for Reading Project, with Hinckley & Rugby Building Society (HRBS) and The Hinckley School, entered its 10th year of partnership. This year over 40 sessions of Go for Reading were delivered with 66 volunteer placements equating to nearly 100 hours of employee volunteering. Denise Bradshaw, our HRBS volunteering champion, won our education volunteer of the year award in recognition of this achievement.

Youth Work

Our youth work projects target disadvantaged and vulnerable young people, many of whom are care experienced, NEET, living in insecure or temporary accommodation or are ex-offenders. In addition, many have issues relating to physical and mental wellbeing, previous trauma, alcohol and drugs, managing money and domestic abuse. Many of the young people we work with are separated from their families and 40% are from African, Afro Caribbean, Asian and East European backgrounds. Using our Power To Change approach our skilled staff, volunteers and partners have:

Power Within. Supported a diverse range of young people to deal with a variety of issues which range from wellbeing to housing, relationships to debt, and sexual exploitation and isolation. Supporting young people to deal with these issues is strengthened by the strong links we have with a diverse variety of community organisations, but sadly it is still too often the case that young people who need more specialised mental health support have long waits before they can access it.

Power With. As well as supporting young people individually we are keen to support them building links and connections with their peers, local community groups, businesses and relevant public sector agencies. This has varied from running drop-in and pop-up youth sessions in a variety of settings, providing a wide range of opportunities for young people to link with the local business sector and business volunteers, through activities such as work tours, work experience, fun social sessions and activities. As well as the specific skills and knowledge developed in these activities, we also find that both the young people and business volunteers find these joint activities help challenge stereotypes and build understanding, which in turn can lead to the business sector being better able to support and offer employability opportunities to young people, and young people feeling more confident to connect with people outside their immediate social bubble.

We have also increasingly used a variety of creative methodologies, such as music, art, podcasts and video as a way of bringing young people together and enabling them to identify and share key issues with each other. This has led to friendships being made and young people being able to offer support to others who are in a similar situation.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Power To. As and when young people sort out their immediate issues and develop their interpersonal skills and connections, they often use the skills and knowledge they have developed to move on in life. At the immediate and practical level this most often means getting into education, employment or training. However, many of the young people also feel they want to share their experiences and improve the policies and systems that impact on their life. This has seen young people we work with produce a video to inform people about the lives and aspirations of care experienced young people, and attend a variety of conferences, seminars and working groups to share their lived experience and voices. This has included trips to the House of Commons to speak out on issues affecting care experienced young people, playing a lead role in enabling the local NHS to understand the needs of young people more, and producing and promoting a wide range of podcasts aimed at practitioners who want to understand the needs of young people more.

Community Development

Our community development work has continued to support a wide range of local community groups across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Key to our approach is that community, business and public sector are working together in a creative and agile way and seeking to ensure that everybody can thrive.

We continued to put a strategic focus on working directly with young people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods as well as supporting and developing the capacity of community groups in these neighbourhoods through business membership interventions. Alongside this we also put a focus on using art based approaches as a method of enabling young people to identify, share and inform key organisations about their lives, challenges and aspirations. This has enabled us to:

Power Within. We continue to support frontline grassroots community groups who offer support and help people in need with their immediate pressing issues. This has included providing advice on energy efficiency, benefits and supporting people, with the support of our partners across the Reaching People Community Network, to develop their digital skills. We also support and work with groups who, for example, provide advice and support to prisoners’ children, young people from a diversity of cultural backgrounds and SEND young people.

Power With. We continue to bring community groups together with young people through our #PowerloChange community partners forum. We are also active members of the Reaching People Community Network and the Violence Reduction Network. Throughout all of this work we focus on encouraging partnership, joined up thinking, planning and action and, for example, this has led to coordinated responses to the public sector on a variety of issues such as VCSE strategy or providing health services to so called hard to reach communities and young people.

Power To. We have consciously stepped up our efforts to support the community sector, to work together to bring about long term strategic as well as immediate individual change. As well as working in networks mentioned above, we are in process of developing cross sector forums, which will encourage the public, business and community sectors to think and plan together. In all of this work our experience is that the key to success is being able to understand the complex nature of the challenges many of the young people and communities we work with face, alongside being able to work in a creative and agile way.

Environment

Our green working group continues to support the team to work in an environmentally friendly way. As well as the team taking part in green challenges and being reminded to think and act in a green way when carrying out their duties, we have supported people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, to take action to reduce their energy use, which as well as being “green” has the added and attractive benefit of saving them money.

We continue proactively to seek to offer green opportunities to business partners to support the focal community, which, for example, might include clearing a riverbank or providing old IT equipment to be upcycled and passed onto people in need.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Diversity and Inclusion

Leicestershire Cares strongly supports the principles of diversity and equal opportunities in employment and service delivery. Moreover, it takes pride in offering flexible arrangements to meet the diverse needs of different staff and participants in our projects.

We see this as an area of ongoing learning where we learn through reflecting on practice. The work we do with diverse community groups and SEND young people feeds into our ongoing reflection and learning.

Funding

As with all medium sized charities funding can be a struggle but we are fortunate to have a diverse funding base, where we are not reliant on any one donor. During this financial year we had to deal with funding from a variety of sources coming to an end and with gaps between funding ending and the possibility of new funding being recommenced. We had planned for this and were able to use our reserves to cover gaps in funding and were delighted to win a further three years funding from Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and from The National Lottery Community Fund. In addition, we also won continuation funding from the VRN and UKSPF as well as winning a new core funding grant from The Watches of Switzerland Group Foundation.

We continue to generate income streams from our local business and schools’ membership, as well as high wealth individuals.

Whilst we have spent some of our reserves we still have some seven months’ of running costs in reserves and aim, should funding allow, to build reserves back up to nine months over the next couple of years.

PR and Branding

We continue to have a strong presence on social media and this has led to a variety of national media agencies coming to us for updates and stories on the work we do and issues we seek to tackle.

We have invested in developing the staff team’s ability to use social media and other art forms, and this has seen an increase in the number of podcasts and videos we produce.

Our #PowerToChange conference held at King Power Stadium in November 2024 was built on the key themes of Connection, Collaboration, Creativity and Change, which resonated strongly with the two hundred plus participants and which we continue to use to promote our approach to work.

Monitoring and Evaluation

We are strongly committed to reflecting on the learning arising from our practice so we can improve our performance. We havea results-based management system that sets goals, activities, outputs and KPIs for all our work.

Over the last year, with funding support from Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, we increased the capacity of the staff team to use more creative methods to capture soft outcomes and learning arising from our work. This has led to young people producing a wide variety of podcasts, videos and publications, which as well as improving our understanding and practice, has also reached a far greater audience than our standard monitoring and evaluation narrative reports.

Going forward we are keen to build on this and to support young people and community partners to use a variety of creative tools to share their lived experience, voices and recommendations with key local, regional and national decision makers.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Board

We have a very experienced and strong board that brings a wide range of skills and expertise to Leicestershire Cares. The Board continues to be focused on maintaining a strong financial position for the charity and a clear and sustainable vision and strategy for the future.

Reserves Policy and Risk Management

The Board monitors progress against the strategic objectives and a comprehensive business plan is developed for each year. As part of this process the Board addresses the risks facing the charity by the appropriate implementation of procedures and systems to mitigate against these risks. Adequacy of funding is regarded as a significant risk and the Board has a continual project for membership expansion and securing funding for key worker posts beyond one year. The significant internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent delivery of activities to the community.

The Board has considered the appropriate approach to reserves and has set an objective of building free reserves, over time, to cover nine months of core activity expenditure, by retaining a proportion of its unrestricted income each year. As well as this, the Board will consider any amounts that would fall due should there be a need to meet redundancy and unexpired lease commitments. The Board is confident that there are sufficient restricted (£50,384) and unrestricted funds (£344, 137) at the year-end and income to enable it to fulfil its working capital requirements foreseeable at the time of this report.

The reserves policy will be kept under review and free reserves will continue to be held at a level the Board considers appropriate for the charity's activities.

The charity invests any surplus funds in interest bearing bank accounts and does not engage in investments in shares, bonds, or other financial instruments.

Financial Results

Leicestershire Cares derives its income from a variety of sources. Membership income is unrestricted, and this year amounted to £64,353 (2024 - £70,845). Other significant income is generally restricted and relates to contributions for specific activities. Restricted income in the period amounted to £392,279 (2024 - £453,052). All restricted activities are in line with the charity's objectives.

At the period end there is a balance of £50,384 (2024 - £99,519) remaining in the restricted funds. This relates to unexpended amounts in respect of on-going projects and it is expected this will be utilised in the next financial period.

GDPR

During the year we took the necessary actions to ensure we operated in compliance with GDPR.

Wellbeing

We are strongly committed to ensuring the physical and mental wellbeing of our staff. Throughout the year we delivered a variety of sessions which encourage staff to discuss wellbeing and in February we launched our Wellness Action Plan, which is a proactive tool for managing mental health at work and forms part of our commitment to supporting staff health and wellbeing.

We have an active social committee who organise a range of fun and celebratory events for all staff to enjoy throughout the year.

We also have an employee assistance programme and death benefit scheme.

The trustees, who are also the directors of Leicestershire Cares Limited for the purpose 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 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the accounts of Leicestershire Cares Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet , Cash Flow Statement and the notes to the accounts, 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 concem 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 concem 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

-1-

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our 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:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the accounts, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concer basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibllities 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from error is considered to be low. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

In the context of Leicestershire Cares Limited, we have not identified any specific laws and regulations other than general commercial laws and regulations, such as: Companies Act 2006; Charities Act 2016; Trustees Act 2000; Charities Commission regulations; Health and Safety legislation and employment law.

Our understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to Leicestershire Cares Limited and how the charitable company has complied with its obligations has been obtained by enquiry of management and those charged with governance.

As part of our enquiries we have discussed policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations and whether any instances of non compliance have occurred.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED

Our understanding of the charitable company's policies and procedures on fraud risk has been obtained through enquiry with management as to the control activities, operational systems in place and whether there is knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.

We consider that the audit team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. During our audit work there were no significant instances of non-compliance identified.

In response to the audit risks identified in respect of irregularity and fraud, we have undertaken the following procedures:

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors report and for no other purpose.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Company information

Leicestershire Cares Limited is a private limited company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 30 Nelson Street, Leicester, LE1 7BA. The address of the principal office is detailed on the legal and administrative page.

1.1 Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of lreland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 702.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

Designated funds are funds set aside from unrestricted funds by the trustees for specifically designated purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial! statements.

1.4 Incoming resources All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating the Income and Expenditure account) when receivable. During the period income represents:

Grants receivable (including government grants); which are recognised in the year to which they relate.

Income received by the way of donation and gifts; which is recognised in full on receipt. Where services or facilities have been donated and the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable and measurable, the incoming resources have been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The value placed on those donations is the price the charity estimates that it would pay in the open market for a service or facility of equivalent utility to the charity. The value of services provided by the volunteers is not included.

Membership income is recognised evenly over the period of membership. income is deferred where income has been received in the year which relates to future periods.

Investment income; which is recognised when receivable.

Donated services are recognised as they arise and are matched to the appropriate cost.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

All resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis and have been allocated to the heading that best describes the expenditure incurred, as described below,

Costs of raising funds; which are the costs of generating incoming resources from all sources other than from charitable activities.

Charitable activities; which are all the costs applied by the charity in undertaking its work to meet its charitable objectives.

Core costs comprise costs not directly attributable to specific projects.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements Over the term of the lease Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line Computer equipment 25/33% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

LEICESTERSHIRE CARES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 ee 1 Accounting policies (Continued)

(Continued)

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to alll of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

1.11 Retirement benefits Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 _—s Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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 ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements There are no critical judgements (apart from those involving estimates) in applying the company’s accounting policies.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

(Continued)

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are addressed below:

i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets:

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets. See accounting policy note (above) for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.

ii) Expenditure allocations:

Expenditure is apportioned between funds and projects.
