TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

Christ The Redeemer College is a higher education institution and, therefore, an exempt charity under the terms of the Charities Act 2011. Students undertaking courses at Christ the Redeemer College obtain direct benefit from the education they receive and the enhanced careers which they subsequently pursue to become ministers of religion, church leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, or business/professionals. Such services also provide benefits to the community through community project support, counselling, and relieving poverty in the community. Through these new leaders and ministers of religion produced by the college, more youth and community based initiatives are implemented in communities that foster cohesion and safeguarding for our youths.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The College’s objective is the advancement of education, religion, learning and research through the provision of excellent learning activities for students. The College commits significant resources to various outreach activities designed to encourage applications by able candidates from all backgrounds. This supports the College’s Access and Participation Statement approved by the Office for Students The college has also developed an Access and Participation Plan (APP) to guide our outreach activities.

The college has been increasing its capacity to provide valuable services to the Christian community and the wider community to better discharge their services for the wellbeing of the community they serve by equipping them with necessary ministry, management and professional skills, this process is a continuing one. The College is currently in the process of revalidation with Birmingham Newman University to continue providing training in Business and in Theology and Ministry up to postgraduate level, and we expect this to be in place for the 2025/26 academic year.

The teach-out process for our DET programme is now nearing completion.

During the year, the College resumed the delivery of Business Management and Computing programmes accredited by Pearson, with progression available up to Higher National Diploma (HND) level. These programmes are designed to strengthen the College’s academic portfolio, provide students with industry-relevant skills, and support pathways into higher education and employment. In addition, the College introduced two new short courses FREGH Executive Leadership Course and Europe Continental House Fellowship under the School of Practical Ministries, broadening opportunities for practical training and personal development in line with the College’s mission and objectives.

College Mission

d. Volunteers

The college used the services of volunteers during the year. This includes students who came to the college for work experience and other volunteers who assist the college on need basis. These volunteers contributed to achieving our goals.

Objectives and activities (continued)

e. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

The College provides a wide range of public benefit. The Trustees are aware of and have regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant. The College plays a key role in supporting the local community and will often organize events to bring the academic and local communities together. A number of community organisations and individuals use the College’s facilities for their conferences or community activities. We also provide outreach activities within the community and schools to encourage participation in higher education for people of deprived social backgrounds.

Public Benefit

Christ The Redeemer College is a higher education institution and, therefore, an exempt charity under the terms of the Charities Act 2006. The members of the board of governors, are the Trustees of the charity, and in line with Charity Commission’s guidance provide services in relation to public benefit and advancement of education.

Students undertaking courses at Christ the Redeemer College obtain direct benefit from the education they receive and the enhanced careers which they subsequently pursue to become ministers of religion, church leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, or business/professionals. Such services also provide benefits to the community through community project support, counselling, and relieving poverty in the community.

Through these new leaders and ministers of religion produced by the college, more youth and community-based initiatives are implemented in communities that foster cohesion and safeguarding for our youths.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

During 2024/25 the College continued to provide a vibrant and transformative College experience to students. It also invested in the long-term sustainability of the College. The College continued to develop its college premises to provide upgraded learning facilities to enhance students' learning experience and provide a firm financial footing for its future development. The college has continued to improve its investment in virtual learning infrastructure to enhance online delivery of its courses on a blended or fully online basis. The College will continue to invest in its IT infrastructure to cope with the ever-expanding nature of our provisions.

b. Key performance indicators

The College regularly measures its performance through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that assess the success in the reporting period compared to prior years. These KPIs cover areas including diversity and number of students enrolment, rate of progression, numbers of social and educational events and number of Alumni contacts.

c. Review of activities

The academic year was generally challenging for the higher education sector; however, the College maintained its student intake and achieved growth in several key areas. Student numbers increased, driven by the opening of two new campuses in Ilford and Croydon and the resumption of the BTEC programme. The College also experienced wider growth in its activities through enhanced outreach initiatives, contributing to higher admission numbers in the current year, a trend expected to continue into the next academic cycle.

Achievements and performance (continued)

d. Factors relevant to achieve objectives

The achievement of the College’s objectives continues to be at the heart of Board of Governors’ discussions and decision-making. The senior management team is working closely with academic and professional staff to ensure that strategic goals are advanced collaboratively and that resources are allocated effectively to support teaching, learning, and operational priorities.

Maintaining financial resilience remains a key focus, particularly in the wider context of sector-wide challenges. The College is strengthening its bursary and scholarship schemes to widen access for students from diverse backgrounds, with increased emphasis on external fundraising and partnership development to create additional opportunities. Greater attention is also being given to digital innovation, student support, and community engagement as essential drivers of the College’s long-term objectives. This includes investment in technologyenhanced learning, initiatives to improve student wellbeing, and expanded outreach programmes to strengthen connections with local communities. These measures are expected to enhance student experience, improve retention and completion rates, and ensure that graduates are well-prepared for ministry, professional, and social engagement. The active participation of the Alumni network continues to be a significant asset in achieving these aims, particularly through mentoring, networking, and advocacy for the College.

e. Fundraising activities and income generation

In 2024/25, the College has continued with its established fundraising approach, centred on personal engagement with churches and Alumni. The annual telephone fundraising campaign remains a key part of this strategy. The College maintains its commitment to ensuring that all fundraising activities are conducted with compassion and integrity, safeguarding against any exploitation of vulnerability.

The £5,000,000 development project campaign remains ongoing. While no new fundraising systems were introduced during the year, the College continues to focus on strengthening relationships with existing supporters and maintaining consistent income generation to support its long-term objectives.

f. Investment policy and performance

It is the college policy to invest any surplus cash in safe investment instruments. During the year, such cash were invested in short term savings with our banks. The income generated for the year was £8,705. (Looking ahead, performance is expected to improve following a new investment in a Barclays Fixed Treasury Account in this financial year. The Board has continued to oversee investment activities through the Investment Monitoring Unit. The Unit has focused on reviewing performance, ensuring compliance with best practices, and monitoring market conditions to safeguard returns.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Page 5

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

b. Reserves policy

The College's reserves are currently unrestricted funds. The Trustees regularly reviews the College's reserves policy. The policy considers the nature of the income and expenditure streams and the need to match variable income with fixed commitments. To allow the College to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer against interrupted services, the policy requires reserves cover in the region of £270,000 be maintained. This range is based on managing to sustain core College activity if there were a fall in average income of about 20%.

Statement of Internal Control

The Senior Management Team (SMT) is responsible for maintaining a sound system of internal control that supports the achievement of policy, aims and objectives while safeguarding the funds and assets for which the Board of Trustees is responsible. The system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve policies, aims and objectives; it therefore provides reasonable but not absolute assurance of effectiveness. The system of internal control is designed to identify the principal risks to the achievement of policies, aims and objectives, to evaluate the nature and extent of those risks and to manage them efficiently, effectively, and economically. This process was in place for the year ended 31 July 2025 and up to the date of approval of the financial statements.

c. Principal risks and uncertainties

The College is a small charity. To manage risk, all College Trustees and staff are made to understand the nature of risk and to accept responsibility for risks management in their area of authority. The risk register is regularly updated to include new identified risk and remove any risk that is considered no longer operational. The risk management process therefore provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the organisation is protected.

We define key strategic and operational risks as those that, without effective and appropriate mitigation, would have a severe impact on our work, our reputation, or our ability to achieve our goals. These risks are reported to the Trustees through the risk management process, which includes the oversight of the Board’s Audit and Risk committee allowing them to challenge any assumptions management have made about risks and understand the context in which decisions are taken. This helps to ensure that the most serious risks are being managed effectively.

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The possible principal risks are identified below.

  1. We currently operate validation agreement with Birmingham Newman University. A distant risk could be difficulty with renewal and therefore be unable to recruit students unless there is a new validation. We are in constant discussions with the University enabling us to maintain a good relationship.

  2. There is a distant risk regarding the operations of the study centre regarding the leaseholds. As the leases are for 5 years there could be risks that these are not renewed at their expirations. We have a clause giving us at least one year notice of any such event. We also have good relationship with estate agents to help should this happen

  3. As our programmes are mainly targeted at church ministers and charity workers, changes in this sector may affect recruitment. Unexpected drop in student number, therefore, may present some risk. This is not expected in the near future as the college has diverse sources of income. As the training arm of our founding denomination, there is continuing source of funding from the training of the church's ministers.

  4. Other risks could be changes in government education policies generally, or that affecting financial support to students specifically, particularly in the government consideration of reduced fees on foundation year of integrated degrees.

  5. Frequent changes in government could affect the policy direction on education that may impact the services of the college. Specifically, frequent changes in regulatory requirements by Office for Students (OfS) in response to political requirement may impact on the finances of the college.

The board’s finance and general purposes committee undertakes regular evaluations of our budgets and expenses for an early identification of any risk. Any identified risk would be promptly reflected in our risk management system.

The Trustees’ board is confident that its planning, risk management and operational management activities mitigate these risks adequately.

e. Principal funding

During the year, incoming resources were a combination of mixed components of student fees and donations. Overall, total income generated was £3,022,921 (2023-24: £2,241,529).

The College made a surplus of £280,715 (2024: £230,469). After taking account of the operations of the College for the year, the College's available funds stand at £3,631,567 on 31st July 2025 (£3,350,852 on 31st July 2024).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Christ The Redeemer College (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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).

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 Auditors' 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 company'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.

Page 12

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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.

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 Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, 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.

Page 13

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (CONTINUED)

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 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 an Auditors' 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.

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:

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

• The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the entity’s remuneration policies, key drivers for directors’ remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;

• results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;

• the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to revenue recognition. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the entity operates in and focused on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the entity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material fine or penalty.

Page 14

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (CONTINUED)

Audit response to risks identified

As a result of performing the above, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter related to the potential risk of fraud. Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

• reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;

• in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

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. This 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 Auditors' Report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

1. General information

The entity is a charitable company incorporated in England & Wales (Company number: 05416226) and registered with the Charity Commission (Charity number: 1114890). The charitable company’s registered office address which is also the principal place of business is:

23 Village Way East Harrow Middlesex HA2 7LX

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Christ The Redeemer College meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have considered the charitable company’s forecasts and cash flows for at least twelve months from the date of approval and are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2.3 Expenditure

Page 21

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit 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 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.4 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit 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 institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.5 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

Amortisation is provided on the following bases:

Development expenditure - 20 % on cost
Computer software - 20 % on cost

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property - 2%
Plant and machinery - 20%
Motor vehicles - 25%
Fixtures and fittings - 20%
Computer equipment - 25%

2.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.9 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2.10 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.11 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.12 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Page 24

CHRIST THE REDEEMER COLLEGE (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Useful economic lives of tangible and intangible assets

The annual depreciation and amortisation charges for tangible and intangible assets are sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful lives are based on historical experience with similar assets, anticipated technological developments, and future usage patterns. If the useful life of an asset is reduced, depreciation or amortisation would increase, thereby affecting the charity's surplus or deficit for the year.

Provision for impairment of trade receivables

The charity assesses trade receivables for recoverability on an ongoing basis. When calculating provisions for bad debts, management uses judgment in estimating the likelihood of recovery and the financial condition of debtors. This assessment includes considering the age of the debt, recent payment history, and any available forward-looking information. Adjustments to the carrying value of receivables may be required based on future events that could not have been reasonably anticipated at the reporting date.
