Trustees Annual Report and Accounts 2024 - 2025
## **About Aprender**
We are an Education Development Foundation, incorporated as a UK-registered charity in 2010.
Aprender has a global vision - we want all children to receive high quality education which produces communities that flourish. Our mission is to advance UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education - by investing in the development of people and systems for schools in low-resource situations.
We train local educators to create self-improving schools that thrive on their own resources.
Through Apto, our unique school improvement model based on international educational research and best practice, we help transform schools in developing countries using a sustainable, low-cost framework.
The essence of our Apto model produces increasing professionalism in school leaders and teachers which in turn impacts educational outcomes and character development in the classroom. By partnering with governments and educationbased NGOs, Aprender equips in-country education officers to use our Apto model and create sustainable improvement cycles within their own culture and community.
We are now developing a technological solution that allows leaders and teachers to access our training, even when electricity supply or internet access is compromised.

## **Letter From Our Board**
My goal as Chair has been to set a bold, clear strategy to position Aprender as a leader in the democratisation of teacher training. That vision extends across our programmes, communications, and fundraising. Last year, we laid out the strategy. This year, we’ve begun to deliver on it.
We’re finalising the design of our on-demand streaming training platform, and piloting our first fully digital learning experience—Aptobox—in remote and disconnected corners of the world. We’ve also built an expert digital team that has completely rethought how we go to market, aligning our brand and presence with the scale of our ambition. This shift will sit at the heart of our upcoming fundraising work.
2025–26 is the year we expect to see the results of these efforts take root. In our programming— both in-person and digital—we’ll be able to reach more people, in more places, with greater impact. And just as importantly, the way we show up in the world—through our communications, our partnerships, and our voice—will fully reflect the work we’ve been doing behind the scenes.
We’re also putting in place a modern fundraising operation: data-driven, impact-backed, and built to support our next phase of growth—step by step, and community by community.
We’re proud of the groundwork we’ve laid. The path ahead is exciting—and the progress is just beginning.

## **Letter From Our CEO**
Through my travels across the developing world, I’ve seen a deep injustice: children who most need quality education often attend schools without the skills or training to improve. Teachers have the will, but not the professional development to raise outcomes.
I also saw that exam results alone are not enough. In a fast-changing world, it is character — critical thinking, ethics, and community-mindedness — that enables young people to thrive.
Our model transforms underprivileged children’s lives by building both character and knowledge, while strengthening local capacity to improve education sustainably. This creates fairer, self-sufficient communities, less likely to fall into conflict.
We work in these ways across the globe:
**Research and development** . We monitor and evaluate the latest research concerning cross-cultural education development to ensure our school improvement model stays current.
**High-quality, high-value coaching** is offered free at the point of need. This means that school budgets can be spent on teachers and resources, benefiting the community.
**Deep relationships** . We take time to develop relationships based on trust and mutual respect, recognising the challenges of working cross-culturally. We deliberately devote time to coaching to get to know the education officers. This relationship deepens through the training and extends into implementing our model across the school/s.

We are entering a new season of expansion. We’re excited by what is ahead.
Invest in education. Invest in the future.

## **Our Impact by Numbers & Ratings**
*
- As part of our commitment to transparency, we understand that the number of children empowered is an estimate. Change happens when behaviour changes. The teachers who have been through the Apto training teach a new cohort of students every year so the impact multiplies across the years. Better teaching is the gift that keeps giving. But we are also realistic as we understand that not all teachers will continue the changed behaviour. That is true for all training. Based on the Kirkpatrick Model of Behaviour Change showing only 20%–30% of training programmes result in sustained behavioural change, we base our estimates on this conservative figure and use this as a predictor for impact analysis.

Based on responses from 8 partner NGOs/schools across the globe.

## We asked our partners:
Can you share an example of how the training impacted your work?
This from Zambia:
“Today, I can proudly say I’m a leader because of the support I got from Aprender, starting from realising our vision to theory of change and leadership training.”
## We asked our partners:
Have the teachers
implemented any changes in practice since completing the training?
This from Nepal:
“There were big changes. Teachers now make lesson plans and go to class, moving away from traditional
methods. Teachers now make friendships with the children and apply the I do, We do, You do method in class.”
We asked our partners:
Have you noticed any changes in student performance or teacher engagement as a result of the training?
This from Lebanon:
“This approach has helped our staff connect more effectively with students, placing them at the centre of the learning experience. The training has contributed to building a positive learning culture.”
We asked our partners:
Can you share an example of how the training impacted your work?
This from Uganda:
“I speak completely differently to small children who cross my path! More than ever, I look at the “Why?” behind the behaviour I’m not happy with and aim to address it in the way that suits that person or child.”

## **Our Impact on Real Lives**
## **Mireille from GROW preschool, Lebanon**
## **Lorna from Jinja Educational Trust, Uganda**
Partnering with Aprender had a significant impact on our work at Grow. It changed our mentality in order to believe that the child-centred approach emphasises active participatory learning. We learned to support our young students by building confidence and decision-making skills, supporting cognitive development, structuring daily routines and intentional play to boost problem-solving and critical thinking. Through the training sessions, we learned how to emphasise social skills and engage our children in cooperative play, helping them develop communication and teamwork.
The supervisor of the Lebanese Ministry of Health declared when he visited our second branch. He witnessed the work we are delivering and he asked us to write a letter to the head of department in the ministry to introduce the approaches we are following at our nursery, and to ask to spread them all around the country.
We recognise and harness the power of partnerships for a variety of our projects and all who come into contact with Apto training, thanks to our partnership with Aprender, regularly state that they are “no longer the same.”
Everyone has taken an aspect of their training into the classroom and many teachers are now mentoring and passing on their knowledge to their colleagues.
Apto dovetails with our other education and mental health projects and is without doubt one of the most impactful initiatives we have undertaken over more than 10 years of operations in Uganda – ask anyone at any of our partner schools!
We have now taken 30 school leaders through the Apto Lead course and trained 25 teachers and leaders in Apto Teach. Many of our pre-school teachers have also benefitted from Early Years training.
Aprender changed our whole educational perspective. We believe that the fruit of this partnership with such an organisation will completely change the educational landscape at early childhood development centres. We are blessed to be the first in Lebanon and in the Middle East.
I am rarely more motivated than when I hear a teacher describe how the training has transformed how he or she thinks and acts both within and outside the school.

## **Investor Viewpoint**
Neil, Head of International Missions Resource Team at Bookham Baptist Church, Surrey, UK.
Bookham Baptist Church has been privileged to partner with Aprender since its inception, investing in innovative education development tools and methodologies over many years. In that time we have seen teachers and other education professionals from some of the poorest countries in the world, trained and enabled to bring high quality education practice into the classroom. This in turn has opened up pathways out of poverty for thousands of the most vulnerable young people in our world today.
We are more than donors. We are partners. And this partnership is evidenced through the opportunities we have to be informed about Aprender's strategic plans and the regular communications we receive about the impact Aprender's work is delivering. The role we play in Aprender's success is due to the investment that Aprender makes in the partnership we have together.

## **Our impact is a reflection of our values and our mission. Our actions are a reflection of who we are.**
**Our Vision:** All children receive a high-quality education which produces communities that flourish.
**Our Mission:** Advancing UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 - Quality Education by investing in the development of education people and systems in low-resource contexts. We work in partnerships with governments, denominational school networks, and NGOs to strengthen local capacity for highimpact school leadership.
**Our Approach:** We empower education leaders and professionals with a unique, evidence-based framework designed to deliver sustainable, systemic improvement in education quality. While we do not work directly with children, their long-term success remains the ultimate indicator of our impact.
## **Our Values**
Our investors support enables more than just programs—it helps us live out the values that shape lasting change. We believe in **empowerment** : equipping education leaders with the confidence and tools to create meaningful, local solutions. With our partnerships, we ensure **inclusion** is not just a principle, but a practice—reaching those often overlooked and giving every voice a place at the table.
At the core of all we do is **love** —compassion that drives action, especially in the most challenging contexts. We hold fast to **knownness** , believing every individual deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. And above all, we affirm the **value** of every person—because when people feel they matter, they begin to lead, teach, and transform others.
These are not just words. They are the foundation your generosity builds upon—thank you to our investors for making this possible.
14
## **Our Model - Apto**
Aprender’s journey began in 2010 in marginalised Brazilian communities, partnering with NGO Instituto Total.
- Local education authorities welcomed collaboration to improve outcomes in resource-constrained schools. Challenges included poverty, lack of training, and even drug gang presence. Together, we distilled global best practices in education—de-cultured and adapted them to local realities - a toolkit for transformation.
- After four years of research, testing, and refinement, our flagship model emerged: **Apto** (which means “to be able to do something skilfully” in Portuguese)
- Think of **Apto** as our educational “ **concentrate** ”:
- It contains the essential tools of effective school leadership, teaching, and learning.
- Local educators—officers, leaders, teachers—add their local “ **water** ” to adapt it to their culture and context.
- The result is a mix that works across geographies while staying deeply local.
- We’ve seen **Apto** work in diverse settings—empowering educators to realise their own visions for change.
-
- Now, our goal is to **democratise access** to this powerful tool.
- Educators everywhere deserve the chance to transform their communities.
- And they shouldn’t have to pay for it. Any funds they have need to stay with them.

## **2024-2025 Our Year in Action**
## Introduction
We have continued to devote resources into making Aprender a synonym with a high-quality education for all, deepen our impact and broaden our reach. Our strategic plan for 2024-26 continues to focus on three key goals to help us build a sustainable future and strengthen our mission:
**1.** Developing a Campaign-Based Fundraising Model.
**2.** Expanding Our Digital Reach for Greater Accessibility and Impact.
**3.** Leveraging In-Person and In-Country Interventions to Engage Key Stakeholders.
We have successfully recruited our first Digital Team to develop effective communication of our past impact, whilst reassessing and developing our digital assets in readiness to support future campaigns.

## **Strategic Goal 1 - Develop a Campaign-Based Fundraising Model**
We have successfully moved to a new way of fundraising that focuses on specific campaigns. This approach has helped us better connect with donors and link their support directly to our work.
## **What We’ve Achieved So Far as Part of this 2-year initiative.**
## **Bank on Our Impact:**
We created and shared a detailed report showing the number of educators we’ve trained, where we work, and stories from the people we’ve helped. This helped us clearly show how we’re making education fairer and more accessible. This will be the core of our story to our audiences: educators and investors.
## **Improved Our Online Presence:**
- **Website:** We reviewed our website and will launch an updated version in late 2025.
- **Social Media:** We now post regularly with interesting content and have grown our audience.
- **Search & Tracking:** Our digital tools are in development phase to help more people find us online and track how well our fundraising campaigns perform.
## **Why This Matters:**
- We’ve kept donors informed and engaged, leading to stronger support.
- We have developed our newsletters to better reflect our new strategy
- We can now respond faster to new opportunities or challenges.
- We use data to plan and improve our campaigns.
## **Other Big Steps:**
- We finished a full fundraising plan with help from our CEO, Board, and Digital Team.
18
## **Strategic Goal 2 - Expand Digital Reach for Greater Accessibility**
We continually evaluate and improve our Apto Model, ensuring we stay up-to-date with education developments. This has kept our digital courses relevant and quality assured. We have also been expanding our digital reach by, for example, finalising our Apto Early Years Course that lets us share early childhood education materials and understanding with people around the world, democratising access to quality early years training. We have a new partnership to expand our online digital learning platform.
## **What We’ve Achieved**
We have made strong progress across key areas of our work.
Based on feedback from our partners we have also developed Apto training courses, including:
- Apto Teams - Improvement of team dynamics.
- Apto Inspire - Essential guide to teaching students with Special Educational Needs.
- Apto Selfie - Self-awareness in leadership.
- Apto Coach - Using Apto training to train others in a local context.
A recent training evaluation with our partner the Jinja Educational Trust (JET) in Uganda provided encouraging feedback and led to meaningful improvements.
We formed a new partnership with Ontum, an Education Technology company in India that provides smart tools for schools, training, and curriculum support.
Through this partnership with Ontum and with our partner the Jinja Educational Trust (JET), we have advanced the development of the Aptobox—a technology tool designed to deliver high-quality school improvement content in low-connectivity environments.
The Aptobox aims to reduce the digital divide by ensuring equitable access to training, supporting educators and education departments without relying on internet access or mobile data, and sustaining local school improvement while easing the burden on school leaders.
20
## **Why This Matters:**
- More educators, even in hard-to-reach places, can now use our resources.
- Online learning saves money and helps us reach more people.
- We’ve created a long-term, flexible way to support teacher training.
## **Other Big Steps:**
We have recently created a brand new course based on the absolute key essentials to quality teaching and learning to accelerate early impact.
We call the course **‘The Big 4’** that includes formative assessment and cognitive load theory, two core ideas that help teachers around the world shift thinking away from ‘delivery’ of information and towards ensuring that learning is happening effectively. These modules have been rigorously field-tested and we are excited to pilot this in August 2025.
21
## **Strategic Goal 3 - Leverage In-Person Interventions to Build Trust**
We’ve used face-to-face meetings and local events to build stronger relationships with key supporters, especially those focused on early years education.
## **What We’ve Achieved**
- **Clear Strategy:** We created a plan to focus on the most valuable in-person opportunities.
- **Better Training Delivery:** Our Apto Coaches now use updated materials, supported by a dedicated training coordinator.
- **Stronger Systems:** We improved our systems for handling donor visits, event planning, and finances.
## **Why This Matters:**
We are now in a better position to ensure the following:
- Donors feeling more connected to our work and more committed.
- Ready to offer special visits and events to show the impact of their support.
## **Other big steps - Volunteer Recruitment**
Volunteers have been essential to everything we’ve accomplished.
## **What We’ve Achieved:**
1. Clear role descriptions so volunteers understand their tasks and impact.
2. Recruited skilled people through online platforms and social media.
3. Reached out to professionals with the specific skills we needed.
Mary Fowell Nikhila Ananth
4. Created engaging materials to show how meaningful it is to volunteer with us.
## **The Result:**
We now have a strong, committed team of volunteers who have been vital to all we’ve achieved in 2024–25 including our amazing Aprender Digital Team pictured here recruited through Reach Volunteering.

## **Invest in Change That Lasts a Lifetime**
In today’s challenging climate for charitable giving, every pound counts more than ever. While many charities compete for a shrinking pool of donations, Aprender offers a rare opportunity: the chance to create lasting, global impact with exceptional value for money.
We work with communities often left behind — places where children’s futures are too easily forgotten. With a small but dedicated team, we deliver remarkable results at minimal cost, equipping education leaders to transform schools and change life outcomes for thousands of children.
Our plan is bold: to expand our reach into even more schools across the globe, multiplying the impact we’ve already proven. With your partnership, we can turn this vision into reality.
**Imagine next year — thousands more children gaining access to quality education through inspired, capable school leaders. Together, we can make it happen.**

## **Financial Overview**
## Trustees’ Responsibilities in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The Trustees, also directors of Aprender (UK) Limited for company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and financial statements under applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. Legislation requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give an accurate and fair view of the charitable company's state of affairs and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.
- 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 a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the charitable company's and the group's assets and, hence, for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
## **The Trustees confirm that they have fulfilled the above responsibilities.**

The Charity aims to maintain minimum unrestricted funds at a level equivalent to **twelve weeks of operating costs** .
## **Principal Funding Sources**

## **Safeguarding Statement on behalf of The Board**
At Aprender, we’re committed to creating a safe, healthy and inclusive place to work and volunteer for our coaches and other colleagues, and for those who we come into contact with through our work. To achieve this, we have a safeguarding policy in place, underpinned by safeguarding training designed to help reduce the risk of abuse or harm from occurring, and to equip our people to recognise and report where they may have safeguarding concerns.
As part of their training, all coaches and volunteers are required to agree to a safeguarding code of conduct and are made aware of our expectations in relation to not only their conduct, but also their responsibility to report any concerns.
While coaches and volunteers do not work directly with children, we always carry out Disclosure and Barring (DBS) checks for colleagues, and we work to uphold the child protection systems of the countries in which we offer support.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to anyone who causes harm or abuse, and will thoroughly investigate and respond to any concern. Where appropriate, we report such matters to the police and/or local authorities.
To ensure we are continually maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding, we monitor guidance from the UK Government and the charity regulator, the Charity Commission for England and Wales, on procedures and protocols for safeguarding. We also check for compliance with our safeguarding policies and procedures.
We have a designated Child Protection and Safeguarding trustee. Our policy is available on request.
We are members of the ~~OO~~ Keeping Children Safe organisation, working to ensure all children have a safe and healthy development into adulthood by ensuring our organisations do no harm through our activities, staff, partners or volunteers.

## **Inclusion Statement on behalf of The Board**
Aprender is committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, so that every individual can reach their full potential where all are welcomed regardless of age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. We are proud of, and value, the diverse backgrounds of everyone in our communities.
We believe everyone has the right to a challenging and stimulating education and rewarding and fulfilling work. We also believe that our work should reflect the cultural diversity of the societies in which we serve, so that children grow up with an awareness of the contribution made by other cultures to society.
Aprender is committed to ensuring an inclusive environment, where people can be their genuine selves. We are dedicated to taking proactive steps to advance a culture of nondiscrimination and equity.
We believe that it is only through advancing equity and embracing diversity and inclusion that we can truly embody our organisational values.
We treat everyone with dignity, fairness and respect and recognise individual uniqueness and identity regardless of any protected characteristic, combination of protected characteristics, or any other characteristic(s), socioeconomic or demographic factors and/or cultural traits that may expose them to unfair disadvantage.

## **APRENDER (UK) LIMITED**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of APRENDER (UK) LIMITED for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company 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 company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements 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; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of APRENDER (UK) LIMITED**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s trustees of APRENDER (UK) LIMITED (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of APRENDER (UK) LIMITED are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of APRENDER (UK) LIMITED as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.

## **APRENDER (UK) LIMITED**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **1 Charity status**
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: Honeypot Cottage Mill Lane Market Rasen Lincolnshire LN8 6JZ
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 27 September 2025.
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
APRENDER (UK) LIMITED 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 notes.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
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 the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 6
## **APRENDER (UK) LIMITED**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **Donations and legacies**
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
## **Grants receivable**
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## **Gift aid**
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## **Charitable activities**
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 7
## **APRENDER (UK) LIMITED**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
