—————-sae The Trustees present their Annual Report together with the Financial Statements of GLF Global Leadership Foundation (UK) (‘GLF (UK)’, ‘the Foundation’, ‘the Company’, ‘the Charity’) for the year 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees have also been guided by the Charity Governance Code for Smaller Charities.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Strategies for Achieving Objectives
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.
The primary objectives of GLF(UK), as stated in its governing document, are:
-
a. The promotion for the public benefit of the efficient public administration of government and public services by educating and training leaders of government anywhere throughout the world.
-
b. The promotion of national and international conflict resolution and reconciliation for the public benefit with a view to relieving suffering, poverty and distress and building and maintaining social cohesion and trust within and between communities by:
-
¢ Investigating and identifying probable causes of the conflict.
-
e Examining probable solutions to the conflict through participatory research into relevant economic and social issues.
-
¢ Mediating with parties to the conflict and others together to discuss such research and possible solutions enabling them to build relationships of trust.
-
¢ Recommending to the international community and the parties involved the measures which, in the Trustees’ opinion, are likely to result in the resolution or prevention of the conflict or the reduction of any humanitarian crisis that may ensue from the conflict.

-
¢ Sustainable development underpinned by an inclusive political process based on pluralism leading to democracy, good governance, and respect for human rights.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. Activities
Projects
GLF(UK) continues to make grants available for Projects and other activity conducted by GLF. All such activity is considered to be ‘Restricted’ in accordance with the rules set by the Charity Commission.
Grants
During the year ended 30 June 2025, £14,430 in grants were made in support of project/forum activity. (2024: £6,550) The Trustees monitored the situation through the submission of regular reports.
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. This includes consideration of the continuing impact of geopolitical uncertainties including the war in Ukraine and the surge in energy costs. Fundraising traditionally varies from year to year. It was significantly affected by the death of former President FW de Klerk, the Founder of GLF and an influential fundraiser for GLF (UK). Nevertheless, the Charity has sufficient funds to manage itself for the foreseeable future, to conduct fundraising and to support charitable activity. The principal item of expenditure remains, and will remain, grants for the conduct of Projects.

Trustees’ Report (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2025
——ees
Each Project, Forum or activity is subject to a formal application to Trustees. The Trustees can consider whether to make the grant and can decide its amount, taking account of their assessment of the activity and the financial situation of the Charity. Even if the Charity received no further Income (which the Trustees regard as most unlikely), the Charity can sustain a comparable level of activity for the next 2 years. For this reason, they continue to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis in preparing the financial statements. The Trustees confirm that at the time of approving the financial statements, there are no material uncertainties regarding the Charity’s ability to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months.
b. Reserves Policy
The Trustees meet twice a year to review the level of reserves of the Charitable Company. The Reserves Policy currently requires the Charity to maintain a minimum of £38,000 in reserve to fulfil its annually agreed payments to the Global Leadership Foundation for management and fundraising expenditure — and to allow that agreement to be renegotiated if necessary. The Reserves Policy is reviewed annually by Trustees and was last reviewed at the Trustees Meeting in October 2024. The Trustees continue to monitor closely the relationship between Income and Expenditure. The balance of the Restricted Funds has increased from nil to £20,000 and Unrestricted Funds has decreased from £142,461 to £97,239 at 30 June 2025. The total balance of Restricted and Unrestricted funds has decreased from £142.461 to £117,239 at 30 June 2025.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
a. Constitution
GLF Global Leadership Foundation (UK) is a Charitable Company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17 March 2006 (Company Registration Number 5747231) and registered with the Charity Commission as a Charity on 13 March 2008 (Charity Registration Number 1123176).
The financial statements comply with current Statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP) issued in January 2019, the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
There have been no changes to the objectives since the last Annual Report.

b. Method of Appointment or Election of Trustees
The Charitable Company is governed by a Board of Trustees which constitute its directors. There are currently four Trustees. Appointment to the Board of Trustees is made by existing members of the Board. Training of Board members is undertaken at the meetings of Trustees.
c. Organisational Structure and Decision Making
Decisions are made by a simple majority of the votes cast at a meeting, or by suitable electronic means. Each Trustee has one vote, except the Chairman, who has a second or casting vote. Day-to-day management of the Charitable Company is carried out by the Secretariat of GLF Global Leadership Foundation “GLF”, a not-for-profit foundation registered in Berne under Swiss law (Company number: CH-035.7.032.801-9). The key management person is Robert Fulton.
d. Risk Management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charitable Company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charitable Company and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate the Charity’s exposure to those major risks. This includes consideration in 2024 - 2025 of the conflict in Ukraine and the violence in the Middle East, in addition to the uncertainty caused by erratic and unpredictable US geopolitical behaviour.
e. Payments to Global Leadership Foundation
Payments made to the Global Leadership Foundation are reviewed annually by Trustees. They cover the costs of all administration and management of the Charity and its accounts including fundraising. They are calculated on the basis of an agreed share of the overheads and variable costs for the staff time required for management, administration and fundraising.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Trustees aim to continue to make grants in support of Projects, Forums and other activity restricted to the objectives of the charitable company and run by organisations, whose aims and objectives are in line with those of GLF (UK). Trustees will take account of the financial state of the Charity in deciding whether to support each activity.

1. Accounting Policies
General Information
~ GLF Global Leadership Foundation (UK) is a public benefit entity and a company limited by guarantee (Company Number 5747231) registered and England and Wales. GLF Global Leadership Foundation (UK) is also a Charity registered with the Charity Commission (Charity Registration Number 1123176). These financial statements have been prepared for the year ended 30 June 2025. They are prepared in GBP, being the functional currency, and are rounded to the nearest Pound.
The Registered Office and its principal place of business is 20 Little Britain, London, EC1A 7DH. The principal activities of the Charitable Company have been described in the Trustees’ Report (incorporating a Directors’ Report).
GLF Global Leadership Foundation (UK) operates for the public benefit of the efficient public administration of government and public services and the promotion of national and international conflict resolution and reconciliation.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently, unless otherwise stated.
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities act 2011.

eeeeeESSSSSSSSSeSFSsFsFsFFseseFeFeFeFFeFseseseF
Going concern
The Trustees confirm that at the time of approving the financial statements, there are no material uncertainties regarding the Charity’s ability to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. In arriving at this conclusion, the Trustees have taken account of the conflict in Ukraine, the violence in the Middle East, the unpredictability of US conduct — and current and anticipated financial performance in the current economic conditions, and its reserved position.
The Charity has sufficient funds to continue its planned charitable activities and to conduct fundraising. The principal items of expenditure are grants for the conduct of Projects and Forums. Each Project and Forum is subject to a formal application, and, on each occasion, the Trustees decide whether to make the grant and its amount, taking into account the financial position of the Charity.
At the time of approval of the financial statements, the Charity has liquid cash of approximately £121,600. The balance of the Restricted and Unrestricted Funds is £117,239 on 30 June 2025; on that basis, the Trustees consider that the Charity can sustain a comparable level of activity for the next 2 years. The Trustees confirm that at the time of approving the financial statements, there are no material uncertainties regarding the Charity’s ability to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the income, when it is probable that the income will be received, and when the amount received can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised ona receivable basis.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: (a) the Charity is aware that the probate has been granted, the estate finalised, and notification has been made by the Executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or (b) when a distribution is received from the Estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the Charity has been notified of the Executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the Charity, or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the Charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount the Charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Investment income relating to interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, when it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and when 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 and governance costs. 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.
Expenditure on charitable activities are costs incurred on the Charity’s educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity which have been apportioned to charitable activities.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of recoverable VAT.

1.4 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.
1.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount is offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.6 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.
1.7 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 these amounts, discounted at the pretax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
1.8 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. Restricted funds are those given for specific purposes and must be used in line with the donor's intentions, ensuring they are applied directly to the specific projects or activities of the Charity.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates.
Due to the simplicity of the Company’s transaction streams and year-end financial position, the Directors consider there to be no critical judgements, estimates or assumptions in the preparation of these financial statements.
