Trustees'Annual Report and Strategic Report Vision, Misslon &Values Lumos exists to light a path to a brighter future for children. We're committed to ending the institutionalisation of children, so every child can enjoy the right to grow up in a safe and loving family where they can thrive. Named after the light-giving spell in Harry Potter, Lumos was founded by author J.K. Rowling in 2005. Lumos works to transform the lives of disadvantaged children by facilitating the end of institutional care for good. It does this in two ways: at a policy level to accelerate and improve the quality of reform in health, education and social protection services and at a practical level working with providers of children's services to demonstrate the value of family-based care, Vision: All children grow up in safe and loving families within supported communities. Mission:To realise every child's right to a family by transforming caie systems around the world. Values; Collaboration, excellence, respect, care and passionate. In 2024, Lumos made a significant impact on the lives of children in institutions and those at risk. All the targets in its programmatic work were exceeded. Lumos was highly successful in implementing all the projects we undertook. By the end of the year, all projects were on track. Each of our country programmes is at a very different stage in the journey to end the institutionalisation of children and the prevention of family separation, We are tailoring our contribution in each country demonstrating the huge repertoire of our expertise ranging for example, from the model of transformation of individual institutional care providers in Colombia, to the establishment of Early Child hood Intervention Units for children with disabil ities in Moldova, to the comprehensive models of regional childcare reform in Kenya and responding to the context of conflict in Ukraine. 2024 marked the beginning of the 2024-2027 strategy. The strategy has given us a very clear focu5 and ambition for the next fouryears. Our individual country, advocacyand thematic strategies are all aligned to our common goals. We also drafted ourTheory of Change for childcare and child protection reforms forchildren to thrive in families. 2024 was a year of significant change and consolidation for Lumos. It was a challenging period. The organisation emerged from 2024 with a structure that better reflects the central role that programmes and advocacy hold, as seen in the relative balance of resource tiSting towards our country programmes. Lumos also ended the period better prepared to adjust to and absorb external shocks such as the dramatic cuts in international development funding occurring in early 2025. Our in-country programmes have small core teams with the agility to grow to implement funded projects, and the two more consolidated programmes.. Moldova and Ukraine, obtain most oftheir funding from restricted funding. Liimos FoLindalion | Trustees, Ai)nual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended Deceinber 312024

In 2024, programming continued to focus on strengthening national care reform systems and enhancing child and youth participation and advocacy.Working on keythematic areas ofviolence against children, disability and inclusive education have expanded the reach of the care reform movement beyond the limits of sector-specific silos and created 3 foothold for our work in these related sectors in 2025. Collaborating closely with local public authorities, partner NGOS. and other networks, has enabled us again to suypass our planned targets and achieve significant results. Strateglc objectlves for Strategy 2024-2027: l . To prevent separation and facilitate the reintegration of children into families or family-ba5ed alternative care 2.

Our work has been driven by a simple yet powerful belief.. every child deserves a family. In August, we renewed our partnership with ICBF (Colombian Institute of Family Welfare), marking a significant milestone in our collaborative efforts to reform care for cliildren. This agreement underscores a shared coinmitment to developing family-based care solutions that prioritise children's well-being and keep families united.

Scaling successful intervention models Sharing best practices Creating sustainable transformation in another key Colombian region Global Advocacy for Child Protection At the First Global I nter-ministerial Conference to Prevent Violence Against Children (EVAC 20241, Lumos.. Led discussions on family strengthening Highlighted the connectlons between in5titutionalisation and violence against children Advocated for incl u5ive, family-based care solutions At the conference, 12 remarkable young advocates from the Lumos Colombia Youth Advisory Board IYABI proved that age is no barrier to creating meaningful social change and made an extraord inary impact with their presentations. Sara and Julian, two young members of ouryouth Advisory Board shared their personal experiences and asked for systemic change. Their aim was to shed light on the challenges faced by children in care and Institutional Settings, and to advocate for a more compa55ionate, supportive system, During EVAC 2024, these young leaders: Engaged d i rectly with high-level government officials Led d Iscussions with the Colombia Vice Minister of Education and Minister of Health H ighlighted critical issues such as.. school Safety, access to higher educatioii for youth in residential care and healthcare barriers for children in institutional settings. The YAB demonstrated that when children are given a genuine platform, they become powerful agents of change.Their advocacy goes beyond personal experiences-it's about creating systemic transformation that can hel p countless Other children. At Lumos, we believe that the most powerful solutions come from those most affected by the challenges. By supporting these young leaders, we're not just listening we're ampl ifying voices that have been historically si lenced.

Financlal Review A summary of the year's results can be found on page 25 of the financial statements. 2024 £'ooo 2023 £'ooo Total Income 5,748 7,888 Total expendlture Other Ilossesl I galns 16,4711 14,9641 19 11601 Net Funds movement 17041 2,764 Reserves (arrled forward 5,609 6,313 Unrestricted 4,813 4,224 Restricted 796 2,089 During 2024 Lumos completed its organisational restructure which included the closure of the Bulgaria branch office and the US entity Friends of Lumos USA Ltd. which was dormant during both years. The US charitable entity, Lumos Foundation USA Inc. still operates on a reduced headcount. The UK office also now operates on a reduced headcount witli the aim of maintaining a sustainable platform for future operations. The negative net restricted funds movement during the year is largely due to high operational spend thanks to the receipt of a restricted grant received in late 2023 which was expended in 2024. The positive net unrestricted funds movement during the year is tl)anks to a substantial unrestricted donation received in 2024 intended to cover costs in 2025 and 2026. Investment pollcy and performance In April 2024, the investment portfolio was liqu idated, and the cash is currently held on deposit with Lumos's bank, HSBC plc, Fundraising pollcy Lumos ensures compliance with regulations on the protection of donor i nformation and use of personal data.The protection of children at the heart of our mission extendsto oursupporters and the public, to ensure all individual preferences of donors are upheld, and no one is unduly pressured to donate to Lumos.

Reserves policy and golng concern TheTrustees balance a prudent reserves policy, which ensures that Lumos has sufficient funds to complete ongoing activities in the event of a significant fall in income and strengthening and increasing the impact of the organisation. The target level of free reserves is equivalent to approximately 3 to 6 months operating expenses. The charity holds sufficient unrestricted funds for the following purposes: To mltlgate the prlnclpal flnanclal rlsks faclng Lumos In terms of income, this includes the risk that income does not match organisational expenditure growth. To enable Lumos to provide emergency response services There a re situations that can arise throughout the year where an immediate response is required before income is received from fundraising activities, To support worklng capltal funding requlrements In several Lumos programmes expenditure is made prior to claiming the expense from the donor, usually on a quarterly basis. Lumos also receives a sizable amount of royalties, income in the second half of the year wliich has an impact on the casli flows of the charity. To help to protect Lum05 work beyond the current year To protect Lumos's long-term impact, especially in the face of a sustained decline in income, the organisation will need time and flexibility to make responsible adjustments. In countrieswhere Lumos has an established presence, this means carefully managing clianges to core pro9rammes to minimise disruption to children. In countries where Lumos does not havea long-term footprint, it may involve responsibly closing out existing partnerships and programmes to preserve resources and uphold commitments. Funds Restricted funds £0.8m12023: £2.1 ml Restricted funds are funds with specific restrictions imposed by donors. These restrictions often relate to a particular geographic region or area of technical expertise and sometimes include a deadline by which time the funds must be spent.

Concluslon Given the level of reserves and the prudent steps undertaken between 2022 to 2024 to align our operations and resources to our programmatic and financial strategy, together with forecasts, budgets and a reorganisation of the charity in 2024, the Trustees are satisfied that the charity will remain a going concern in the foreseeable future.

Grant-making pollcy Whilst Lumos is not primarily a grant-making organisation, the charity does issue grants occasionally to further its charitable objects. These grants tend to be ir) countries where Lumos does not have a permanent base, or a sub-grant of a grant received by Lumos. Grants are issued only where an opportunity has been identified, where funding exists and when due diligence has been carried out on the ability of the grantee to deliver aga inst the gra nt. All grants follow Lumos's standard internal procedures, opportunities are assessed by the Executive Team and approved by the Chief Executive Officer andlor the Trustees in l ine with Lumos's procedures. Investment powers and restrlctlons Under its Articles of Association, Lumos has the power to invest in ways that the Trustees see fit.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Lumos Foundation Oplnlon We have audited the financial statements of Lumos Foundation (the'parent charitable company'l and its subsidiaries Ithe'group'l for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, consolidated and charity balance sheets, consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.

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 auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the fi nancial statements does not cover the other information and, except to tlie 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 mi55tatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thi5 Other information,. we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard, Other matters prescrlbed by the Companles Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course ofthe audit.. The information given in the Trustees, Annual Report which includes the Directors, Report a nd the Strategic Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements,. and The Trustees, Annual Report which includes the Directors, Report and the Strategic Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities set out on page 20, the Trustees Iwho are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satlsfied that they give a true and fa ir view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. LLimos Foundation | Trustees, Annual Report & Financial Statement5 for the year ended December 312024 22

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessi ng the group and the parent 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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltor's responslbllitles for the audit of the financlal Statements We have been appointed as auditors under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group and parent 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 h igh level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a mateiial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud oi 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. liregularities, including fr3ud, 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 i rregularities, including fraud are detailed below. Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities.. We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charitable compa ny's financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the Trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements.we identified lawsand regulations that are of significance in tl)e context of the group and parent charitable company by d iscussions with Trustees, communication with component auditors and updating our understanding ofthe sectors in which Ihe group and parent charitable company operate. Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the group and parent charitable company includeThe Companies Act 2006 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Audit response to risks identified.. We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part ofour audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the parent cliaritable company's records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We d iscussed the parent charitable company's policies and procedures for coinpliance witli laws and regulations with members of manageinent responsible forcompliance. During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which migl)t involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud.we enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness ofjournal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of busine5S. LLimos Foundation | Trustees, Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended December 312024 23

We assessed whetherjudgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner's review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud. As group auditors, our assessment of matters relating to non-compliance with laws or regulations and fraud differed at group and component level according to their particular circumstances. Our communications with component auditors included a request to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations a nd fraud that could give rise to a material misstatement of the group financial statements in addition to our risk assessment. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions ref lected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material m isstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecti ng one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for exa mple, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. ditor re onsibilities. This description forms part of ou r auditor's report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the parent charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 ofthe Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the parent charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's repoit and for no other puipose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to a nyone other than the parent charitable company and the parent charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting estlmates and areas of judgement In the application of the Lumos Foundations accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates, assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily a pparent from other sources. The estimate5 and underlying assu mptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results Inay differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised i n the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affect5 only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods. LLllmOS Fouiidation | Trustee5' Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended Deceinber 31 2024 30

In the view of theTrustees and management, the following are the most significant accounting estimates and areas of judgement.. The judgement that, subject to evidence to the contrary, all expenditure incurred under a signed funding agreement is recoverable from funders. Thejudgement that there is no provision required for disallowed expenditure under donor funding agreements. Decisions around the recoverability of amounts included in debtors connected to royalties or other debtors. Judgements relating to the decision a5 to when a liability should be recognised in relation to grants payable to a third party The value of any accruals included i n the financial statements The basi5 for allocating costs between activities as disclosed in the financial statements. Golng concern At 31 December 2024, Lumos had total funds of £5.6m12023'. £6.3ml. The level of free reserves lin this case being unrestricted excluding intangible and tangible fixed assets and designated funds) at 31 December 2024 is £2.7m12023'. £2.5ml. Given the level of reserves and the prudent steps taken in 2024 to align our operations and resources to our programmatic and financial strategy, the Trustees are satisfied that the charity will remain a going concern in the foreseeable future. Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are funds which are available at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company, and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to tlie financial statements. Where grants are received for specific purposes, they are credited to restricted funds. Costs up to the value of the grant relati ng to tliis restricted income are allocated against the income when the expenditure is incurred. Unspent balances are carried forward to subsequent years Witliin the relevant fund. Income recognition Income is included in the SOFA when the charitable company is legally entitled to the income, when it IS probable that the income will be received and when the monetary value of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. The following specific policies apply to the categories of income.. Royalty income is recogni5ed on an accruals basis in the period to which the earnings relate, provided that the charity is able to estimate the amount receivable prior to the date of approval of the financial statements. Royalty income is stated net of Value Added Tax, overseas withholdi ng taxes, returns provisions and bad debt provisions. Donations are recognised when the charity has confirmation of both the amount and settlement date. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued for where the recei pt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised u ntil either those conditions are f ully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those cond itions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Gift Aid i n respect of donations is accounted for in the year in which the related donation is recognised. Lumos Foundation l Trustees, Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended Deceinber 312024 31

Investment income dividends receivable from the investment portfolio are included in the SOFA in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt. Interest receivable from cash at bank is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity,. this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Grant income is recognised as income in the SOFA when receivable. Income is deferred only if the grant was subject to donor-imposed conditions that specified a future time period when the expenditure of the resources should take place. Investments: listed investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Expenditure recognition Liabil ities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Irrecoverable VAT is added to the appropriate underlying expenditure. Fu nd raising and publicity costs.. expenditure on fundraising includes the costs of seeking all categories of income except those directly associated with charitable activities. Publ icity expenditures include the costs of disseminating and publicising the work of the charitable company. Fundraising and communications costs have been allocated to the expenditure categories based on estimates of time spent in the year. Investment management costs are recognised as they are payable to the investment manager. Charitable activities are analysed into the major themes of the organisation, and comprise expenditure related to the furtherance of the charitable company's objects. Cost5 include the direct costs relati ng to the overseas operations, branches and related projects, and allocated su pport costs. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charitable company and include audit fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the charitable company and other compliance costs. Support costs are those costs incurred in connection with the management and administration of the charitable company. All support costs have been aSlocated based on expend iture. Pension costs contributions by the charity in respect of the group personal pension scheme are included in the Statement of Financi31 Activities when they are payable. Grant lia bilities are recognised once the charity has a constructive or legal obligation to make a payment. Other accountlng policies Tangible and intangible fixed assets.. the charitable company capitalises all assets with a cost in excess of £1,QOO that are to be held for continu ing use. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is provided on all other tangible and intangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to wiite off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: Lumos Foundation | Trustees, Aiinual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended December 312024 32

Buildings 30 to 50 years Office equipment 5 to 10 years Fixtures and fittings 5 years Computer equipment 3 years Leasehold improvements Over the lease term until the break clause Motor vehicles 7 years Software 5 years Investments.. Investments are recognised initially at cost which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fail value with changes recognised in net gains/llosses) on investments in the Statement of Financial Activities. As investments are continually revalued there are no realised gains or losse5 recorded. Investment5 in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment, Foreign currencies.. monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated i nto sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. TTan5actions in foreign currencies are recorded in Sterling at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities. Lease commitments,. rentals payable under operating lea5e5 are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The benefit of a rent-free period Is spread evenly across the lease term. Debtors: trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
