However, with around 21.000 people in Surrey living with a learnlng disabllity and fewer than 4,000 currently known
to Surrey County Council, th8 n88d for inclusive, community-based support continues to far exceed available
provision.
Organisations like halow are critical in bridging this gap, offering a range of seNices from social activities that
reduce loneliness and build confidence, to more intensive support such as supported living. Despite our continued
growih, we are facing mounting challenges. Ongoing financial constraints at Surrey County Council have resulted in
continued underfunding, while Ihe economic instability of 202412025 has led to a significant decline in fundraising
income.
As we look ahead and refine our strategy. we remaln acut61y aware of the need to balanco our response to local
demand with the reality of our limited resources. Our focus remains on delivering hlgh-lmpact, person-Gentred
support to people with a learning disability - but dolng so sustainably. and with resilience, in the face of increasing
pressures.

Over the past year. the Halow Project has seen a vibrant and diverse range of fundraising activities that have

our community for fun and fundraising, while also raising awareness of our work. Additionally, we secured generous
support from trusts and foundations. whose contributions have been instrumental in sustaining and expanding our
service5. Together, these efforts have helped us continue empowering young people with leaming disabilities to lead
independent and fulfilling lives.

Challenges to the Charity 202412025
The financial year 202412025 has proven to be one of the most difficult periods for the charity sector In recent
memory. We have faced a convergence of financial pressures that have threatened both our operations and our
ability to support vulnerable communities. Despite previous efforts to secure more sustainable funding, a
combination of economic and adminlstrative challenges has led lo a sharp decline in available resources.
The ongoing cosl of living crisis has significantly impacted our fundraising capabilities. Rising inflation and energy
prices have nol only increased our operational costs but also reduced public capacity to attend or support
fundraising evenls. Many events scheduled for 202412025 were cancelled due to low ticket sales or insufficient
sponsorship, directly affecting income streams. The lack of face-to-face fundraising opportunities has further
exacerbated these issues,
In October 2024, Surrey County Councll approved Increased fundlng rates for a supported Ilvlng. However,
significant delays in the disbursement of these funds have caused operatlonal straln for us whlch were relylng on
this support. The uncertainty around funding tlmellnes has made It difficult for us lo plan effecllvely, forcing US to
scale back services or delay important projects despite budget approvals already belng In place.
According to recent data released by the Charities Aid Foundation {CAF}, both personal and corporate donations
have seen a marked decline throughout 2024 and into 2025. Economic inslabilily has resulted In households
reducing discretionary spending, including charitable giving. Similarly, many businesses have cul back on their
Corporate Social Responsibility ICSR) budgets, reducing sponsorshlp and grant opportunlties for nonprofit
organisalions.
As a result of these compoundlng challenges. many charitles have experlenced a tough flnanclal y88r. Th8 shortfall
In Income has led to.,
Reduced staffing or redundancles
Limited outreach and seNlce dellvery
Delays in programme development
Increased reliance on emergency reserves or short-tem borrowing
Th8S8 financial strains com8 at a Ilme when demand for the Charitable services Is Increaslng
202412025 has highlighted the vulnerability of the charity sector to wider economic trends and administrative
inefficiencies. Without timely intervention, renewed public support, and more responsive funding mechanisms, many
charities may face ongoing difficulties in meeting the growing needs of the communities we serve. Collaboration
between government bodies, donors, and third-seclor organisations will be Crucial in rebuilding financial stability
and ensuring the sustainability of critical charitable work in the years ahead.
As we reflect on 2024. Ihls revlew provldes an opportunlty to assess how effectively our Gharity has progressed
toward its goals. Over the past year. we have conlinued to focus on our core mission whlle adapting to new
challenges and opportunities. This report outlines the key objectives sel for 2024. evaluates our achievements, and
highlighls areas where further growth and improvement are needed. Through transparency and accountability, we
aim to strengthen our impact and inform our plans for the year ahead.

As a result, the transition and onboarding of staff into the expanded structure have not proceeded as planned.
Resource constraints have limited our capacity lo scale operations. recruit at the necessary pace, and deliver the

Flnanclal revlew
Overvlew
During the financial year 202412025, halow faced an excepiionally challenglng envlronment du8 to a convergence
of economic pressures that deeply affected the charity sector as a whole. The ongoing cost of living crisis, rising
inflation, and increased operational expenses-coupled with reduced income from fundralsing events and
charitable donalions-significantly impacted the organisation's financial stability. In ord8r to continu8 d81iv8ring
essential seNices and supporting vulnerable communitl8s amidst these diificu5tl8s, halow was forced to rely heavily
on its financial reserves.
These reseNes acted as a vital buffer, allowing halow to maintain operations despite delays in expected funding-
such as the late disbursement of increased supported living rates approved by Surrey County Council-and the
cancellation of key fundraising events. With both individual and corporate donations declining, halow's ability to
generate new income was further constrained, leaving reseNes as the only immediate source of financial continuity.
Whi18 thls depletion of r8serv8s was a n8C8ssary m8asur8 to survive an extraordlnarily dlfficult yèar, It also enabled
the organlsatlon lo adapt, stabillse, and contlnue supportlng Its beneficlartes wlthout dlsruption. As a r8suIt of these
efforts, halow has emerged from thls period more resilient and better posltloned to rebulld. Looklng ahead to 20251
2026, with mor8 predictabl8 funding, potential improv8m8nls In the economic cllmat8, and strengthened internal
plannlng, halow is now In a stronger posltion to gradually reslore its reserv85 and move toward a more sustalnable
financial footing.
The financial accounts for the year to 31 March 2025 show a net loss of £298,336 as shown on the Statement of
Financial Activities on page 14.
The Cash Flow Statement on page 17 shows a decrease In cash and cash equlvalents of £249,008 durfng the year.
Income overall decreased by £107,628 over the year,
This has been a result of underfunding from local authority and a significant drop in corporate fundraising
halow has worked lo increase It's funding from Surrey County Councll and has secured a signlficent Increase for

Reserves Pollcy
The Finance Committee annually reviews the ReseNes Policy and the level of reseNes whlch are shown in the
Financial Statements. At the lime of approving this report, the truslees have approved the budget that will allow us
to build reserves over the following 12 months
In setting the ReseNe Policy, the Board of Trustees has considered the financial position of the charity, the
perfomance in recent years and expectations of future years, and the currenl and future liquidity cover. This is with
the goal of ensuring we have the funds required to cary on our activities safely and consistently through period of
uncertainty.
Having regard to halow's strategic plans and economic conditions. the 8oard of Trustees have set a target level of
unreslricted reserves, which have not been designated for a specific use, of £300,000, with a minirnum of £250.000
required. This reserve figure is based on the charities liabilities outside of local authorlty Statutory funding
(supported living l education) which equates to 25 % of our income. nol covered by contractual agreements. These
rigures are considered appropriate to ensure financial stability and act as a safeguard against volatile and
unpredictable income streams or unforeseen expenditure and liabilities.
Fundraising standards
At halow, we are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical and transparent fundraising by
subscribing to and adhering to The Code of Fundraising Pra¢ti¢e, set by the Fundraising Regulator. This means that
all of our fundraising activities are ¢ondu¢ted with integrity. honesty, and accountability. ensuring that donors,
5UPPOrters, and the public can have full confidence in how we raise and use funds. We follow clear guldellnes on

HALOW PROJECT
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
consent, transparency, and respectful engagement. and we continuously review our practices to remain compliant
with current regulations. By embedding the principles of the Code into our fundraising approach, we aim to foster
trust, protect the dignity of our supporters, and ensure that all fundraising is carried out responsibly and respectfully.
Ensuring ethical, respectful, and transparent fundraising is a core priority for Ihe charity. Oversight of fundraislng
activity is provided directly by the Managing Director, who works closely with the Fundralslng team and actively
participates in fundraising efforts. We do not engage external agencies lo fundralse or communlcate wllh donors on
our behalf, maintaining full control and accountability over our fundraising practlces.
Over th8 past year, the charity received no complaints relating to its fundraising activlty. We define a complaint as
any expression of dissatisfaction from a supporter or funder. All complaints are treated seriously-none are
disregarded and are escalated appropriately to colleagues and managers. We are committed to leaming from all
feedback and use il to continuously improve our fundraising approach.
As an organlsation that supports some of Ihe most vulnerable young people In our communlty, we operate wlth strlct
safeguards around fundralsing. We adhere to robust guldellnes to ensure that no Indlvldual Is asked to contrlbute if
they may be considered vulnerable, whether du8 to raduced mental capacity, financlal hardship, or111 health. Whll8
many of the young peopl8 we support are enthusiastic about partlclpatlng In communlty events-such as sponsored
activities, seasonal fundraising, or awareness-ralslng Inltlatlves-we never 8ollclt or accept donatlons trom them,
either directly or through appeals.
R18k Managemenl
The Trustees have a duly to Identlfy and r8vSew the rlsks to whlch the charlty Is exposed and to ensure appropriate
controls are in place lo provlde reasonable assurance agalnst fraud and error.
Key financial risks to our charity include factors that could significantly impact its financial stability.
Contract Prlclng: Our most slgnlficant operatlonal rlsk at present Is the delay In the Implem8ntatlon and
disbursement of slalutory contract pricing. Thgsg delays create considerable uncertalnty around funding tlm81in8S.
whlch directly impacts our ability lo plan and allocale resources effectlvely. In practlcal temis, thls may result In the
need lo reduce staffing levels or delay recrullmenl In order to remain within tightened financlal constralnls. Such
actions, while necessary to preseNe financial stability, could limit our capacity to deliver consistent levels of servlce
and support to those who rely on us. We actively monitor this risk through ongoing dialogue with commissioning
bodies and have implemented contingency plans to manage staffing and service levels where needed. Our
leadership team remains focused on maintaining operational resilience and minimising disruption while continuing
lo advocate for more timely and transparent funding processes.
Reduced donor fundlng is a major concern. especially if there is over-reliance on a few large donors or if
economic conditions lead to a downturn in individual giving.
Fluctuatlng oconomlc condltlons-such as inflation, changes in tax laws, or economlc recesslons-can affect
both operational costs and donor generosity.
Cash flow Issues could arise if there is a mismatch be￿een the timing of incoming funds and outgolng expenses,
particularly if there are delays in grant disbursements or large expenditures.
Compllance and regulatory rlsks are also significant, as failure to meet reporting requirements or maintain
nonprofit stalus could lead to financial penalties or loss of donor confidence.
Fraud or financial mismanagemant. although rare, remains a potential threal.
To mitigate these risks, our charity can diversify income streams by expandlng beyond individual donations, seeking
corporate partnerships, government grants, and social enterprise opportunities. Establishing a strong financial
reserve or endowment can provide a buffer during lean periods. Implementing stringent financial oversight, such as
regular audits, clear segregation of dutles. an(i transparency In financial reporting, can r8duc8 the likelihood of
mismanagement. Regular risk assessments will help in identifying potential vulnerabilities early. Strong budget

planning, cash flow forecasting, and regular financial reviews will ensure funds are allocated appropriately and that
we remain adaplable to financial shifts. Engaging with donors and maintaining clear communication about our
impact can also help retain their support, even in challenging times.

HALOW PROJECT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF HALOW PROJECT
Extent to whlch the audit was considered capable of detectlng Irregularltles. Includlng fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website. to detect malerial
misstatements in respecl of irregularili6s, including fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, Ils activities, ils control environment, and likely future
developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying
with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial stalemenls. whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence thal is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes
consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were conlrary lo applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularilies and non-compllance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we deslgned
procedures which included..
Enquiry of management and those charged with govemance around actual and pot8ntl81 litlgatlon and
claims as well as actual, suspected and allaged fraud;
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance;
Assessing the extent of compllance wlth the laws and regulallons considered to have a dlrect materfal
effect on the flnanclal statements or the operations of the entity through enqulry and Inspectlon:
Reviewing financlal statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentatlon to assess compllance
with applicable laws and regulatlons.,
Performing audit work over the risk of management blas and overrlde of controls. Includlng testlng of
journal entries and other adlustments for approprlateness. evaluating the business rationale of slgnlficant
transactions outside the normal course of business and revlewing accounting 8Stlmates for Indicators of
potentlal blas,
Because of Ihe inherent limltations of an audlt, there Is a rlsk that we will not detect all Irregularitles, Includlng those
leadlng to a malerlal mlsstatement in the financial statements or non-compllance wllh regulatlon. Thls risk
Increases th8 more that compllance wlth a law or regulatlon Is removed from the 8V8nts and transactlons reflected
in the financlal statements, as w8 will be less lik81y to become aware of Instances of non4ompllance. The risk of
not detecting a material mi5Stalemenl re5ulling from fraud is higher than for one resultlng from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentlonal omlsslons, misrepresentation3, or the override of internal control.
