FatFace Foundation Unaudited Report and Financial Statements 31 May 2025
Trustees Report
The Trustees, present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31[st] May 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (‘FRS102’).
Aims and Objectives
The Trustees are committed to the mission of “Changing people’s lives wherever FatFace goes”.
About the FatFace Foundation
The FatFace Foundation is a registered charity set up in 2009 to make a positive and enduring difference to the lives of people in communities where FatFace sources, manufactures, retails and distributes its products.
We pride ourselves in enabling and engaging FatFace communities, chosen charity partners, suppliers, crew and customers alike to get actively involved and make a real difference to the people around us and the planet.
FatFace Ltd continues to support the Foundation by donating their clothing, footwear and accessory samples, as well as up to 20,000 units of terminal stock per annum. This is collected from the nearby FatFace head office and sorted by our incredible Foundation team - made up of 8 crew and 30 volunteers - and sold in our FatFace Foundation shop in Havant, Hampshire. This shop is the main source of funding for the Foundation where all the profits go directly to supporting our charitable giving.
Established in 2018 in a small retail unit adjacent to Havant’s Meridian Shopping Centre, the Foundation shop was an immediate success, demonstrating strong community support and commercial viability from the outset.
Building on this early momentum, the Trustees, together with the Foundation team, took the strategic decision to relocate to a significantly larger unit within the shopping centre in late 2021. This move was designed to increase footfall, enhance sales performance and, in turn, maximum the level of donations the Foundation is able to distribute in support of its charitable objectives.
The relocation also created valuable additional capacity to expand our volunteer and work experience programmes. Over the past seven years, over 80 individuals have participated in these initiatives. We are particularly proud of the positive impact this has had on the local community – our programmes support people seeking work experience, increased confidence or a welcoming environment in which to contribute and develop their skills, whether for a few hours per week or as part of a structured placement. By fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace, the Foundation shop not only generates vital funds for our charitable activities but also plays an important role in strengthening community engagement and development.
Our Mission
To raise money and distribute grants that will change people’s lives, and the planet, wherever FatFace goes.

To make a difference to individuals when they most need a helping hand, whilst supporting legacy programmes aimed at enriching our communities and the planet for years to come.
Activities during the period
One Million Pounds to Ocean Health by 2030.
Our planet focus for the next five years continues to be ‘Seas the Day’ and invest in the health of our ocean by supporting charities that are working hard to educate and engage communities on our oceans, whilst also helping to restore and protect it.
We believe that life is tied to our oceans. The rivers, seas and lakes connect us all through sustenance, culture and activity. Home to abundant life, the water on our blue planet is a powerful solution to the climate crisis. Water is life and we want to protect it, restore it and educate the next generation, allowing them to be the first to leave our waters clearer, cleaner and better than they found it.
For World Ocean Day 2024, the FatFace Foundation proudly pledged to donate £1,000,000 to ocean health by 2030, aligning with the UN Ocean Decade (2021-2030) with the aim to support the global mission to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. We are partnering with expertled charities and grassroots organisations making waves in ocean conservation. Through these partnerships – and with the support of our trustees, crew, volunteers and customers – our goal is to create a ripple effect of positive change.
Marine Conservation Society
This year we joined forces with FatFace as founding partners on Marine Conservation Society’s innovative and groundbreaking new project, the Atlantic Coast Programme. This cornerstone partnership is an integral part of the Foundation's 2030 goal. The Foundation has agreed to donate £75,000 a year for three years to this innovative restoration and education project.
Update from Marine Conservation Society:
The Atlantic Coast Programme (ACP) is more than just a coastal initiative — it’s a bold, naturepowered movement to restore and protect some of the UK’s most fragile marine ecosystems. Stretching from Cornwall to the Hebrides, Britain’s wild Atlantic Coast is home to golden beaches, towering cliffs, and nutrient-rich waters teeming with life. It’s also one of the most ecologically important and climate-sensitive regions in the country.
Launched by the Marine Conservation Society with FatFace and the FatFace Foundation as Founding Partners, the ACP is taking an ambitious, seascape-scale approach to ocean recovery. By focusing on “superhero species” like oysters, mussels, kelp, and seagrass — nature’s carbon

sinkers, ocean cleaners, and habitat builders — we’re helping to rebuild thriving underwater ecosystems that support marine life, clean our seas, and fight climate change.
Ocean Generation
The FatFace Foundation is continuing its support of Ocean Generation whose mission to inspire, educate and engage the next generation on the importance of looking after our ocean. Committing to a three-year partnership with an annual commitment of £35,000, we are proud to fund their Ocean Academy programme, which offers a dynamic digital learning platform for students, parents, and teachers. This innovative programme provides open-source materials to educate on the Ocean’s vital role, the threats it faces, and the actions we all must take to protect it.
Solent Seagrass Restoration Project
In early 2023 the FatFace Foundation partnered with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (HIWWT) and their Solent Seagrass Restoration Project by donating £90,000 over the course of 3 years. This project is attempting to bring seagrass back to the Solent where it was once in abundance but has lost around 97% in the last century. Seagrass is vitally important for 3 major areas:
-
as a habitat for the incredible biodiversity in the Solent
-
as a natural sea defence against coastal erosion
-
the potential for sorting carbon in the seabed and helping to fight climate change.
Update from HIWWT:
During 2025, the Trust planted more than 58,000 seagrass seeds along the Hampshire and Isle of Wight coastline. Once established, the seeds will grow into healthy seagrass plants and expand the existing habitats at Calshot and Seaview - helping restore one of the UK’s rarest marine environments.
This achievement was matched by an unprecedented year of volunteer effort. More than 180 local volunteers contributed over 1,000 hours across 41 field sessions and multiple laboratory sessions, more than tripling last year’s effort. Thanks to this work, over 180,000 Zostera marina seagrass seeds have also been collected, sorted, and safely stored ready for planting in spring 2026.
Cobnor Activities Centre Trust
This year the FatFace Foundation embarked on a new partnership, donating £10,000 a year for three-years to Cobnor Activities Centre Trust, ensuring 600 disadvantaged and vulnerable young

people and adults in our community get to experience the thrill of sailing whilst making new friends.
The Young Helms keelboat sailing programme aims to transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young adults in our local community. Many of whom face barriers of limited opportunity, isolation due to social deprivation, mental health challenges and physical or learning disabilities. The programme’s goal is to remove these barriers, empowering participants to improve their self-esteem, build resilience and positively shape their futures.
Cobnor Activity Centre Trust is an independent charity and accredited provider of adventurous outdoor activities based in Chichester Harbour. The overarching purpose of CACT is to help educate and inspire young people to reach their full potential through the provision of high quality, educational and fun outdoor and residential activities. Their activities aim to promote positive mental health, well-being and self-esteem as well as helping to develop personal and life skills including teamwork, leadership, resilience and social interaction.
Team Risers
Through our community pillar, we continue to support young people through education, health and wellbeing and sport and this year we are excited to announce the launch of our latest initiative, the Team Risers Project. This is a £50,000 annual grant giving fund designed to support and uplift communities by providing financial assistance to grassroots sports across the UK. By providing funding and resources, the FatFace Foundation aims to empower communities, foster innovation, and promote sport equity.
Through Team Risers, the FatFace Foundation is committed to levelling the playing field. By supporting projects that prioritise equity and inclusion, we can help create a more vibrant, healthy and engaged community.
This fund has been made possible through FatFace Ltd.’s donation of their carrier bag levy.
We have continued to support those within our local communities via the I Will Grants fund. With access to up to £40,000 a year, crew throughout the FatFace business can nominate

-
£4,200 donated to support individuals most in need such as £700 towards a wheelchair for someone with a terminal illness.
Support in our wider community
In 2023, the Foundation began a long-term partnership with one of FatFace’s longest serving manufacturers, Indian Designs (ID). We have engaged in a school and scholarship funding programme in Bangalore, India. We believe that education is a powerful catalyst for change and since 2023, have donated £150,000 towards helping to improve the conditions of a local government school as well as funding a fantastic scholarship programme.
The school improvement project is co-sponsored by ID Care Trust and mentored by a renowned NGO Parikrma Humanity Foundation. ID Care Trust has adopted the local government school and is working with the Parikrma Humanity Foundation to improve the school environment, facilities, infrastructure and standard of education in this school.
To date, we have sponsored over 156 scholarships for the children of workers in one of FatFace’s manufacturing factories operated by Indian Designs.
By collaborating closely with ID Care Trust and Parikrma Humanity Foundation, we are not only supporting them in their mission to enhance the area’s educational facilities but also nurturing the potential of young minds, empowering the next generation, through ensuring they have access to quality education and opportunities that can change their circumstances.
Breakout Youth
For Pride 2024, the FatFace Foundation proudly donated for the second consecutive year £5,000 to Breakout Youth, a Hampshire-based LGBTQ+ charity, to support their annual Pride Prom. This inclusive party embraced a fun Halloween and Pumpkin theme, hosting 84 young people from across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The event ensured that all attendees had a great experience, with all food and travel provided. A variety of exciting activities kept everyone entertained throughout the night, including a spooky photobooth for fancy dress photos, a silent disco, arts and crafts stations, and face painting. There was also a nail bar where guests could get creative, a Nightmarish Mocktail Bar and a games room that offered a fun space to relax and play. It was an unforgettable night, blending creativity, fun, and the spirit of Pride!
The feedback from young people since the event has been overwhelmingly positive, especially about the food! Several attendees mentioned how the event was sensory-friendly, with one noting that it wasn’t “banshee loud,” which made it more enjoyable for everyone. Many also expressed their gratitude, with one person saying, “Thank you very much for this evening! It

Public Benefit
The Trustees have referred to the guidance of the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. In the Trustees' opinion, the activities of the charity benefit the wider community through the support provided to other causes and charities involved in health and wellbeing, environmental issues and support for disadvantaged young people.
Financial Review
It should be noted that this period has generated significant funds through the Foundation store and the Foundation does not rely on funds being directly sourced from FatFace Limited. However, the two parties are utilising the terminal stock as a vessel to support the Foundation shop and generate funds for good causes.
We are delighted that the Foundation store continues to trade well and is now supporting funds through product sales to execute the Foundation’s strategy.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain sufficient reserves to meet the liabilities of the charity as they fall due, including expenditure committed for or on behalf of our charity partners. Income of £647,140 and resources expended of £673,684 for the period, compared to £717,472 income and £654,736 expended from the previous period, have resulted in net assets decreasing from £573,496 to £546,952 for the current period, of which, all but £2,524 is held unrestricted and will be used for general charitable purposes and applied to those purposes as soon as is reasonably possible in accordance with the charity’s governing document.
Structure, Governance, and Management
The FatFace Foundation operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The CIO was established under a Constitution, which sets out its charitable objects, powers and governance framework. The Constitution also establishes the rules governing the appointment, retirement and removal of charity trustees.
The charity trustees are the only members of the CIO. In the event of the CIO being wound up, the members have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities.
There must be a minimum of four charity trustees in accordance with the Constitution. During the period there were seven serving trustees. Trustees are appointed by resolution of the existing trustees, having regard to the skills, knowledge and experience required for the effective administration of the CIO. New trustees are provided with an induction covering the charity’s governing document, recent financial information, and the legal duties and responsibilities of trustees under charity law.
Trustees hold office in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. There is no fixed term of office and trustees are not subject to periodic re-election unless the Constitution is amended to provide otherwise. The trustees are responsible for the strategic direction of the Foundation and for ensuring that the charity operates in furtherance of its charitable objects and in compliance with charity law.

The Board met four times during the period to consider strategy, financial performance, risk, grant-making decisions and governance matters.
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have established systems and procedures to manage and mitigate those risks where appropriate.
Restricted Funds

Trustee’s Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable incorporated organisation and of the profit or loss of the charitable incorporated organisation for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable incorporated organisation will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable incorporated organisation's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable incorporated organisation and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable incorporated organisation and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

I report to the charity’s Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the period ended 31 May 2025.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
