**The SAW Trust** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Trustees' annual report (incorporating the directors' report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects of the Charity are: 

- To advance the education of the public by encouraging creativity and excellence through their involvement with science, the arts and writing; 

- To encourage people of all ages and groupings to explore and experience the world around them through exposure to, and involvement with, all aspects of science, the arts and writing, thereby allowing them to develop themselves within their community and to improve their conditions of life. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

SAW continues to develop new partnerships and write funding bids to enable more projects while also delivering adhoc activities as requested by teachers, scientists and the science communication community more widely. Here is a summary of some of the large projects we worked on during 2025 and plans for 2026. 

## _**SAW and the JIF Education Programme**_ 

In 2024 we developed a framework for a new education programme for the John Innes Foundation to enable SAW to work more effectively with JIC scientists and schools locally. In June 2024 a new education programme manager (Dr Shannon Woodhouse) was appointed to help build the programme. In 2025 we ran the first of what will become an annual conference for teachers from primary and secondary schools to get fresh ideas for teaching plant and microbial science in the classroom. We will continue to work with the programme manager to support activities going forwards. 

## _**Forest Gardens for Schools**_ 

The forest garden project has been running since 2022 and we are continuing to work with 3 schools to help them explore the flora and fauna of their school grounds and create planting schemes. We secured funding from the John Innes Foundation to continue the project until July 2026 and so we are working towards a final show garden that will be presented at the 2026 Royal Norfolk Show. We are keen to build a legacy of lesson plans and guidance for school grounds to encourage learning outside of the classroom whilst improving green space for children and nature. We started an Eco Club to compliment the forest garden project with one of our closest schools, West Earlham Junior, where PhD student volunteers from the JIC help the Eco Council children with activities. We were delighted that the school achieved it's Eco School status in July 2025 and now has an Eco Flag to celebrate it. We are continuing to support the Eco Council to build on their work and ensure they keep their Eco School status. 

## _**Training & Presentations**_ 

During 2025 we have continued to give presentations on our work and run training sessions for scientists, students and teachers. We continued our teaching for undergraduate science communication students and supported numerous scientists who have been volunteering in schools for British Science Week, helping them shape their ideas and create age-appropriate science activities for classrooms. We also had a PIPS PhD student join us for a 3 month placement to work on a new project with scientists in Canada (see SAW projects in schools). 

## _**Latitude Festival**_ 

Once again we returned to the science marquee at Latitude Festival in 2025. Working with scientists from Prof Anne Osbourn's lab we created an Escape Room style activity focused on plants and plant chemicals around the home. We called it the Escape Bloom and over the 3 days of the festival we invited families to tackle the challenges together, read more here: https:

## **Achievements and performance** _**(continued)**_ 

## _**SAW Projects in Schools**_ 

We continue to support scientists to work with professional artists and writers in the design and delivery of science-themed workshops for classrooms. In 2025 we delivered plant and microbe projects to over 300 children. We also worked with scientists from the University of Manitoba to develop a new science session for children to learn about special sugars in breastmilk that are an important food for microbes in a baby's gut. We trialled classroom activities with children aged 6 - 8 years and then prepared them as lesson plans that are now being tested out by teachers in Canada. The new resources will be added to our Guardians of the Gut website once finalised for free use by teachers across the world. We have also supported West Earlham Junior School and scientists from the JIC to secure a Royal Society Partnership Grant which has enabled the school to purchase and erect a polytunnel in their school ground. The scientists from JIC will be leading a year long investigation with the children about the prospect of growing plants on Mars! 

## _**Agritech Careers Day for Sixth Forms**_ 

In partnership with the FFDT and the JIC we ran another Agritech Career Days for sixth form students from across the County. There is a lot of interest in the event which aims to show how exciting and rewarding careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects can be and how they can bring their creativity to solving problems to help society, particularly in terms of food security and looking after the environment. It also provides an opportunity for the sixth formers to meet a range of people working in these fields to show that a diverse community make up these jobs and it is open to anyone. We are planning to run another careers day in 2026. 

## _**Dudgeon Funded Living Energy Toolkit Project**_ 

Working with scientists from the University of Cambridge we were successful in gaining a grant to develop a toolkit for schools for children to experiment with green energy. Developed by Dr Paolo Bombelli and colleagues, the fuel cell is powered by algae and bacteria and can generate electricity to power small items like calculators and clocks. We ran a training workshop that was attended by students and teachers from 8 secondary schools across Norfolk where they learned about the technology and then worked in teams to build their biobatteries. They are using them in schools to explore possibilities for use and to see if they can increase the amount of energy generated by testing out new ideas. We are looking forward to seeing how the teams get on! 

## _**SAW and the Microbe Zoo**_ 

The biggest project we started in 2025 was the Microbe Zoo. Working with the Centre for Microbial Interactions on the Norwich Research Park we developed a plan to create a Microbe Zoo installation for science festivals and events. Based on our previous experiences of building a giant walk-through gut for the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition back in 2018 we decided we could extend and go bigger by creating an immersive experience framed around a trip to the zoo. We were delighted to secure funding to get going and so over the summer we worked up the ideas by holding workshops with scientists from across the park that represent the microbiology research taking place in Norwich. Teaming up with setbuilder Tim Tracey and Original Projects in Great Yarmouth we were soon able to assemble a team of creative practitioners to bring the science ideas to life. The first outing of the Microbe Zoo is scheduled for the Norwich Science Festival in February 2026 where we will have the Gallery in the Forum for the whole 8 days of the festival. We have also agreed to take the zoo to the Royal Norfolk Show, Latitude Festival and have recently been accepted to take it to the Royal Society Summer Exhibition in July 2026. The idea is that we will tour the zoo nationally over the next 2 years to enable as many people as possible to experience it and learn about the many jobs microbes do that benefit our health and our environment. 

## **Financial review** 

Total income amounted to £135,887 (2024: £105,505) and, after incurring expenditure of £95,912 (2024: £119,106), net income amounted to £39,975 (2024: net expenditure £13,655).

## **Financial review** _**(continued)**_ 

## _**Principal funding sources**_ 

The Charity's principal funding sources consist of income from training workshops and grants in connection with SAW projects. 

## _**Reserves policy**_ 

In view of the unpredictable nature of charitable income, it is the Trustees' policy to hold free reserves in the region of 6 months predicted running costs, which amounts to approximately £30,000. 

Free reserves amounted to £116,411 at 31 December 2025 (2024: £84,188). The Trustees see this as a reasonable level of reserves for the charity at present due to the current levels of grant funding received which are planned to be spent in due course. Restricted funds totalled £7,752 as at 31 December 2025 (2024: £nil). 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Governing document**_

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **Year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Cambridge House, 26 Tombland, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1RE. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **(a) Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain items measured at fair value through income or expenditure. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity, and rounded to the nearest £. 

## **(b) Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## **(c) Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or committment.

## **(d) Income** 

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliabily measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 

## **(e) Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apprortioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. 

## **(f) Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

## **(g) Debtors and creditors payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
