TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and "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).
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the Charity are:
-
To advance education in the art of theatrical and creative make up.
-
To support persons with physical disfigurement and/or those living with long term illness through the use of camouflage make up and creative activities.
-
To support children and families of children with life limiting health conditions or hidden disabilities and those who have been bereaved.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Activities
Provide workshops to groups and individuals from a diverse section of the community including young people at school and at youth clubs, transgender people, young women returning to work and young mothers' groups, who would benefit from make-up and self care to build self esteem and confidence so that participants can contribute to the wider community through working and other activities.
Provide workshops to disadvantaged groups and individuals (including prisoners, cancer and other patients, armed forces and others with a physical disfigurement) in remedial camouflage, mentoring and coaching. The objective is to build self esteem and confidence so that participants can contribute to the wider community through working and other activities.
Achievements and performance
The year ending 31 March 2025 was a challenging period for the charity, particularly in relation to financial sustainability. A significant reduction in available grant funding, combined with increased demand across the charitable sector, impacted the charity’s ability to deliver all planned activities. Despite these challenges, the charity remained committed to its charitable objectives and continued to provide essential support to families caring for children with life-limiting conditions.
During the early part of the year, the charity utilised the remaining balance of a Scope grant, which enabled continued support for beneficiary families. In addition, a Sussex Community Foundation Grant funded therapeutic services, which remain a vital element of the charity’s support offer. These therapy sessions directly address the emotional and psychological wellbeing of families living with ongoing trauma and uncertainty and are central to delivering benefit to the families we support.
The charity continued to deliver tailored activities designed to meet the specific needs of families. Although the annual Memory Making Day could not take place this year due to the CEO undergoing spinal surgery and working remotely from January 2025, alternative activities were delivered to ensure families continued to benefit from meaningful engagement and support.
Key activities delivered during the year included nature-based and sensory events, which are recognised as particularly beneficial for mental health and wellbeing. These included:
-
Nature experiences with donkeys at East Clayton Farm
-
Sensory visits to Middleton Butterfly Farm
-
A visit to the farm at Chailey Heritage School, a familiar environment for many beneficiaries
These activities provided families with opportunities for relaxation, emotional connection, and positive shared experiences, contributing to improved wellbeing and resilience.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
During the Christmas period, the charity delivered a number of special events, including a Christmas party held at the Dream Centre at Chailey Heritage School. This event was themed around the Oscars and provided families with a celebratory and inclusive experience. Children were able to watch a film they had starred in during the previous year’s Memory Making Day, reinforcing a sense of achievement, joy, and belonging.
The charity benefited from significant voluntary fundraising efforts during the year. One trustee, Malcolm, organised a team of fathers to participate in the London to Brighton Bike Ride, raising funds specifically to support activities and counselling services for men. This initiative has continued into 2025 and 2026, with multiple fundraising events planned to support future dads’ groups and wellbeing services.
The trustees acknowledge that financial constraints limited the charity’s ability to deliver all planned activities. However, the charity has demonstrated adaptability by prioritising core services and seeking alternative ways to deliver support. The trustees continue to review fundraising strategies and explore opportunities to diversify income streams to improve long-term financial stability.
The trustees are proud of the charity’s ability to continue supporting families despite significant financial and operational challenges. Lessons learned during this period are informing future planning, and the charity remains focused on strengthening fundraising capacity and sustainability. The trustees are optimistic that the year 2025–2026 will see improved financial resilience, enabling the charity to expand its support and further its charitable aims.
Financial review
The year ended 31 March 2025 showed a net incoming resources of £15,652 (2024 - net incoming resources of £5,190). Further analysis of income and expenditure is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities, and in the notes to the accounts.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s of the total expenditure of the charity. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The company was registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 27 August 2009, as amended by special resolution registered at Companies House on 13 May 2011, as amended on 29 November 2018, 12 June 2019 and 9 March 2021. On 13 May 2021 Forward Facing converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) by a constitution keeping the same Charity Number.
Forward Facing has charitable status and its charity registration number is 1142193.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: M Bashford
A Fabian (Resigned 21 November 2024) C Antorka-Pieri D Scott-Palmer N Penney
The trustees are appointed at the annual general meeting or during the year at trustees' meetings. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD FACING
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Forward Facing (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
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 that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Forward Facing is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The address registered with the Charity Commission is Ground Floor, 1 - 7 Station Road, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 1HT.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Computers
33% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.9 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.11 Taxation
The charity is not subject to corporation tax or any other taxes on income or gains arising from its charitable objectives.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
