1. Chair's Statement

The Trustees present their report with the audited financial statements of Tees Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2025. Markets were volatile, with sharp April falls followed by strong recovery.

This year has been marked by significant growth in our grant-giving activity, strategic partnerships and operational capabilities. It was also our first full year under the new Tees Foundation brand, a milestone in our 37-year history. Our work continues to focus on improving the quality of life for people across the Tees Valley through targeted grant support, capacity building and the development of social enterprise.

In our first year under the Tees Foundation brand, the Tees Million awarded 284 grants worth £1,386,076 to 276 groups and 8 individuals.

Looking ahead, we will launch the Tees Challenge in 2025 - buliding on the awardwinning Sports Challenge with Bauer Media - offering matched funding to double community fundraising.

We also launched our Tees Foundation Alumni to retain former Trustees’ knowledge, with July’s first meeting uniting 20 past and present members including our President, Vice President and Chairs.

We sincerely thank our donors, whose support enables us to improve quality of life across Teesside year after year.

Jeff Taylor - Chair

4. Achievements & Impact 2024-2025

Peat Rigg

Tees Foundation is proud to be the owner of an incredible place nestled in the North York Moors, which is also the home of Peat Rigg Outdoor Centre.

For more than 25 years, Peat Rigg has been delivering short residential courses and adventure days designed to inspire and transform young people through safe, inclusive and exceptional outdoor educational experiences.

Set on a stunning 97-acre farm, the centre welcomes pupils from more than 140 schools each year and works closely with local charities to ensure its opportunities reach those who need them most.

Tees Foundation is also a significant funder of Peat Rigg, as part of our shared commitment to improving lives and opening up new horizons for young people. This is funding with huge impact—and we’re incredibly proud to support such a world-class facility.

Snack & Chat

Boosbeck Village Hall is a small rural charity in East Cleveland run by volunteers. It brings people together through regular groups and events that build community spirit, ease loneliness, and support those struggling with the cost of living.

With many older residents affected by reduced winter fuel payments, the hall wanted to expand its warm space offer. This included providing free lunches at weekly creative sessions, refreshments at Thursday snack and chat groups, and a welcoming environment at fortnightly singing socials.

A Tees Million grant made these activities possible, covering costs so the hall could offer warm, safe, and sociable spaces. The support helps reduce isolation and ensures local people can enjoy companionship in a comfortable setting.

4. Achievements & Impact 2024-2025

Supporting Families in Kirthleatham

Kirkleatham Parish is among the 7% most deprived in England, with over a third of children living in low-income households. To meet this need, the parish created Little Seeds – weekly community sessions designed to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and strengthen local family support networks.

Held in the church each week, with space provided free of charge, Little Seeds brings together eight volunteers who run creative play, music, and storytelling. These sessions give children an early educational boost while offering parents and carers valuable social contact, alongside refreshments for all.

A Tees Million grant enabled the parish to provide essential items for families attending – including nappies, baby milk, wipes, food, and sanitary products. This practical help eases pressure on struggling households and ensures families can access the full benefit of this important community resource.

Cleveland Wheelers

This local grassroots cycling club has over 300 members and supports all kinds of competitive cycling – from road to track to circuit racing. With nine British Cycling accredited coaches, they're all about creating a safe, inclusive space for riders of all levels.

For the second year running, the Wheelers hosted a brilliant cycling skills session on Saltburn’s lower prom as part of the East Cleveland Classic.

Thanks to Tees Million funding, the club’s looking stronger than ever – with eye-catching kit and fun equipment that makes learning skills exciting for young riders.

5. Future Plans

The Trustees are committed to building on this year’s achievements and setting a clear course for the Foundation’s long-term future.

Ten-Year Vision

Our ambition is to secure the Foundation’s position as Teesside’s leading independent grant giver, ensuring we continue to deliver sustainable, long-term support to communities for decades to come.

Planned Launches

Digital Transformation

We will continue to invest in digital systems to improve efficiency, enhance transparency and strengthen monitoring. This will allow us to track the real difference our grants are making and share those results with our donors, partners and communities.

Together, these plans represent the next stage in the evolution of Tees Foundation, positioning us to grow our impact and secure lasting change for Teesside.

6. Structure, Governance & Management

Tees Valley Community Foundation is a registered charity, number 1111222, and a company limited by guarantee, company number 05478088. It is constituted under a trust deed dated 3 June 2005. The Foundation was established in 1989 as a grant giving charity following the successful participation in a challenge set by the Mott Foundation of Flint Michigan in the USA and the Charities Aid Foundation, where £1m raised in the local area was matched by $1m gifted by the Mott Foundation, to establish a permanently endowed fund, the income from which would be used to distribute grants and operate the Foundation. The following years saw a significant campaign of fundraising, predominantly from corporate donors operating in the industrial Tees Valley successfully building a substantial endowment fund.

A root and branch review of the governance of the Foundation took place in 2018, resulting in a streamlining of the committee structure and a reduction of the size of the Board of Trustees, to improve efficiency at an operational and a strategic level.

The Foundation is overseen by a Board of seven Trustees. New Trustees are appointed by the existing Trustees and serve for four years and may put themselves forward for re-election. The Trust Deed provides for a minimum of 3 Trustees and a maximum of 12.

A schedule of potential Trustees is regularly reviewed and updated under the supervision of the Board. Where practical, individuals interested in becoming a Trustee will be invited to attend a number of Board meetings as an observer, as a precursor to becoming a Trustee. New Trustees go through a formal induction process which provides support during their first twelve months service. All Trustees are issued with a Trustee handbook, which is regularly updated and subject to a full review every year. The handbook contains information on the structure of the Foundation, including Terms of Reference, governance details and a complete meeting schedule, as well as all contact information to enable a Trustee to fulfil their role within the Foundation.

At quarterly Trustees’ meetings, the Trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of future development for the Foundation. Items considered include the management of investments, reserves and risks, policies and performance and impact reporting on the grant giving activity. The day-to-day administration of grants, including the application process and decision making to a level of £5,000, is delegated to the Chief Executive and Grants Manager, with decisions being ratified by the Trustees at the next quarterly meeting.

Trustees are responsible for a specific area of interest based on their personal skill set. These include finance, investment, HR, development and law. The Board has the power to appoint temporary Task & Finish groups to carry out specific strategic activities and report back to the Trustees. The Board reviews the detailed Risk Matrix as a standing item at each meeting. The Board gives authority to the Trustee with responsibility for financial matters to oversee the annual external audit and the preparation of the annual accounts for presentation to the Trustees for consideration and approval. The Trustee appointed with responsibility for investment matters, receives the quarterly report of the Investment Manager and advises the Trustees on the performance of the fund at each Board meeting. This Trustee, with support from an appropriate Task & Finish Group is responsible for the appointment process of the Investment Manager every five years.

7. Risk Management & Objects and Activities

Risk Management

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Foundation is exposed and regularly review those risks and update the detailed Risk Matrix document at each Board meeting. The updated Risk Matrix is formally presented for approval at the September Board meeting with ongoing monitoring and updating carried out as a Standing Item at every Board meeting throughout the year ahead.

The Trustees consider the variability of the investment returns on the permanent endowment to constitute the Foundation’s major financial risk. The power to supervise the performance of the fund and the performance of the Investment Manager has been delegated to the Trustee with responsibility for investment matters, who reviews this quarterly, with the Investment Manager making a formal presentation to the Board twice each year.

Systems and procedures are in place to monitor and manage the risks faced by the Foundation, and these are formally reviewed by the Board. The setting of remuneration for all paid staff is the responsibility of the Board, led by the Trustee with responsibility for Human Resources, with an annual standing item at the November Board meeting so that decisions are made in December and staff informed of any changes in January ahead of implementation at the start of the new financial year.

Objects and Activities for the Public Benefit

The objectives of the Foundation are to improve the quality of life of the people of the Tees Valley. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when reviewing this. This has been achieved primarily through the distribution of small grants to constituted groups working to improve and support their local communities.

In the short to medium term the Trustees will ensure that grant giving represents the prime activity of the Foundation. In addition to this prime objective the Foundation will continue to develop its strategy to reduce grant dependency within participating groups. In the long term, the Foundation is seeking to build its reputation as an influencer within the sector, by working both to help local groups but also to assess what is needed in the community and use its influence to procure the support of the private and statutory sectors to aid this activity.

The Foundation has developed a bespoke digital platform for the operation of the Foundation, which manages all elements of the grant giving process, from an accessible application portal to an efficient evaluation tool. This system was implemented in April 2024 and is now fully operational. All grant recipients are monitored to ensure compliance to the terms and conditions set out in the grant award agreement. This is an online form-based process and concentrates on quantitative evidence based on the forecast of the recipient in their grant application. A random selection of 25% of grant recipients are subject to further scrutiny in the form of a monitoring visit which is carried out by current Trustees, members of the Trustee alumni and staff members. A pre-planned interview is carried out and data fed into our monitoring system. Information gathered during this process is also used to generate content for our developing social media presence.

8. Financial Review

Financial Review

The financial position of the Foundation is continually monitored by the Chief Executive and is formally reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Board of Trustees. At these meetings income and expenditure are reviewed against the rolling budget forecast and reports.

Following approval from the Charity Commission in March 2008 the Foundation adopted a total return approach to the investment of permanently endowed funds. The following is an extract from the sealed Order: -

“In accordance with the terms of the Order, the Trustees confirm that:

As part of the total return implementation process the Trustees agreed that the investment managers be given an objective of an 8% long term average total return which comprises 4% for potential allocation to the Trust for application (Distribution Funds), 1.5% for the charge levied to administer the funds and 2.5% representing an inflationary and risk buffer.

The value of the investment portfolio held with Rathbones Group PLC at the year end amounted to £13,277,849 (2024: £13,481,357). The value of the investment portfolio held with Redmayne Bentley at the year end amounted to £199,028 (2024: £188,654). The value of the investment portfolio held with CCLA at the year end amounted to £1,089,762 (2024: £1,143,018). The value of the investment portfolio held with Charles Stanley at the year end amounted to £3,996,598 (2024: £4,200,964). The investment portfolios received dividend and interest income for the year amounting to £408,755 (2024: £395,920).

The primary source of income for the Foundation is the return on the investment of our endowment funds, both permanent and expendable. The capital investment is managed by Rathbones Group PLC Leeds as part of a bespoke portfolio. The Investment policy, reviewed annually, instructs the Investment Manager to implement a low to medium risk profile. The performance of the fund during this year saw a reduction in the value of the investments due to market volatility. Other income is generated through donations and acquisition of dormant and ineffective Trusts.

The Foundation also manages a small number of flow through funds on behalf of partner organisations, these include the Tees Offshore Community Fund. A 10% annual management fee is charged on these funds.

8. Financial Review

Reserves Policy

The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves equal to approximately six months’ core operating costs. Based on current predicted levels of activity six months’ core operating costs amount to £142,000 and the balance on the Unrestricted Income and Expenditure fund is £109,428 (2024: £169,389) of which £46,527 (2024: £107,611) are free reserves after adjusting for fixed assets. The reserves reduced during the year due to expenditure on the rebrand. The Foundation will look at increasing its unrestricted funds back to its free reserves policy over the next few years.

The Trustees continue to monitor reserves on a regular basis and quarterly management accounts are reviewed by the Board of Trustees. The trustees are satisfied that the year end unrestricted reserves balance is appropriate.

9. Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Tees Valley Community Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”.

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 charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:-

The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

Auditors

The auditors, Anderson Barrowcliff LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

10. Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Tees Valley Community Foundation and its Subsidiaries

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Tees Valley Community Foundation (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and the Parent Balance Sheet, and the Group and Parent Charity Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 charitable company 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 charitable groups and parent’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 Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditor’s thereon.

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.

10. Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Tees Valley Community Foundation and its Subsidiaries

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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 (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

Cont...

10. Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Tees Valley Community Foundation and its Subsidiaries

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Based on our understanding of the charity, we have considered applicable laws and regulations which may be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We considered management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the posting of inappropriate manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias in significant accounting estimates and any significant one-off or unusual transactions.

We discussed among the audit engagement team the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

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. The 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 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
