About Us
Kenward Trust provides.support to those affected by addiction, homelessness and crime.
.
The Trust was founded.in 1968 by Ray and. Violet Sinden, a couple with a strong Christian faith. The couple’s eldest daughter, Olive, was friendly with a Church Army Captain who worked amongst the homeless individuals on the. streets of London. ‘Many of them had been sober for some weeks and wished to remain in recovery, but there was no place that would give them shelter. Ray decided to take some of these men home for rehabilitation, but one quickly turned into three and their farm in Sevenoaks became overcrowded. The family sold up and purchased our estate in Yalding, which is where Kenward began.

Executive Summary This year has been one of considerable growth for Kenward Trust. We have strengthened our core services, délivered impactful support to individuals in recovery and focused our fundraising on the Youth Services. We.end the year with a:significant profit compared to last 10 years performance. The Senior Leadership Team have a clear direction and commitment to our strategic objectives:
The financial year from April 2024 to March 2025 has marked a significant milestone in the development and sustainability of Kenward Trust, with the organisation achieving a profit for the year, following the small loss last year. The increase in-capacity both in Stage One Residential Rehabilitation and Stage 2 and 3 Move-On Projects with property acquisition through leasing, meant an uplift in turnover of £594k. This positive outcome reflects the continued dedication of our staff, the strength of our services, and our strategic efforts to expand and innovate.

We are at a pivotal moment in our journey of recovery, to move into a more stable financial position. Despite many setbacks, not least surviving a pandemic, our unwavering commitment to our mission and the resilience of our team have enabled us to weather the storm and emerge stronger.
Through careful planning, innovative fundraising strategies, and strengthened partnerships, we aim to. diversify our services and revenue streams to provide financial stability, deepen our engagement with stakeholders and support a dedicated.work force.
Kenward has always maintained a strong reputation nationally, treating people from all over the country. It has been able to flex with the trends of substances.used and more recently adapting for those taking ketamine.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
1. Executive Summary (continued)
The essence of Kenward is person centric care. Our core values are honoured every day by the team, not just at our residential rehab but in resettlement, youth work and Kenward Enterprises.
Kenward Trust is transforming lives, creating new futures.
2. Strategic Objectives and Progress
Our strategic priorities for the year were:
- e Services — expansion and quality e Financial Stability - KEL contribution, Property development e Staff/ Culture — development of a trauma informed culture
Developing and Growing Our Services and Quality
In a major step forward, we successfully expanded our residential rehabilitation capacity at Yalding to 41 rooms. Additionally, we launched a new Stage 2 project at Colebrook Road, Tunbridge Wells, with a leased property from Moat Housing. This facility provides 14 rooms, including a dedicated community space on the ground floor, - and enhances our capacity to support individuals transitioning to more independent living.
Colebrook Road officially opened in October 2024, initially housing 9 residents and reaching full capacity of 14 by December 2024. The “Community Hub” allows other services and charities to be able to use a large space on the ground floor which offers more support for our residents also.
Our youth outreach and prevention work has continued to grow, building on the momentum from our recognition as "Charity of the Year" in 2023. This acknowledgement has helped raise awareness and support for our youth services, which remain a vital component of our mission to prevent addiction and related harm. We delivered substance misuse workshops to over 2,000 young people across schools and youth settings, adapting delivery methods to post-COVID realities.
We are strengthening Kenward Place activity with beekeeping and a focus on growing the conference bookings. Footfall and revenue increased steadily, particularly through venue hire, events, and on-site volunteering opportunities for our residents.
Community support remained strong throughout the year. Our festive events at Kenward Place during December drew local engagement and helped raise essential funds, including our first Christmas Art Fair.
Achieving our Reserves Policy
This objective is a strategic goal for 2024-2027 and this year has made significant progress delivering an operating surplus of £171k. With the expansion in resettlement including the property lease of London Road, Tunbridge Wells we continue to target a surplus for next year that will contribute to achieving this goal.
Developing a trauma informed culture and value
Supporting our staff through the development of a trauma-informed culture grounded in our values. As part of improving quality and outcomes for service users we have introduced the SMART recovery, based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and is recognised by the NHS. This will improve the quality of our programme and give residents something to attend in the community after primary treatment, with the aim of reducing relapse. Staff receive training on this, as we strive to develop our workforce.
3. Operational Highlights
Residential Rehab
Maintained an 80%+ occupancy rate. Resident feedback reflected strong therapeutic engagement and a high sense of community. To further enhance the support available to our residents, we welcomed Dr. Annie McCloud to the team. Her expertise in psychology has been instrumental in strengthening our therapeutic offering and providing a more trauma informed approach to recovery.

3. Operational Highlights (continued)
Resettlement Services

We have also launched a pilot peer mentoring scheme to support residents moving back into independent living, which has been greatly valued by residents.

. QUOTE from one of our funders (Clarion Futures): “The silence and focus amongst the young people was 2 incredibly touching and it was lovely to see many of them interacting with Andy and Kim afterwards. | have no doubt of the assembly's great impact for these young people.”

8. Outlook and Priorities
Looking ahead, we will focus on:
-
Services
-
Developing and growing our services and quality
-
e Financial - Achieve our Reserves policy
-
e Staff
-
Developing a trauma informed culture and value
The core focus will be to reach 95% occupancy in our residential services and ensure that Kenward Enterprises and Youth services provide a return.
Improving the quality of our services is also key and our ambition is fo grow the “value” we offer all our residents to enrich their stay with us and better prepare them for a future in recovery.
Additionally, a new Stage 3 home for 9 residents will be leased, again from Moat Housing, for occupancy in April 2025 in Tunbridge Wells. This offers a pathway for residents in Stage 2 to maintain their connections in the Tunbridge Wells area.
Expansion of services to optimum levels is part of our strategy to ensure an increase in profit to achieve financial stability for the trust and ensure the reserves policy is met.
Developing a strong culture of trauma informed and achieving career paths and succession management via training, is key to staff retention.
Kenward Enterprises
Kenward Enterprises has made solid progress recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen a revival in clientele and increased interest in our room hire and activities offerings. The team’s innovation and resilience have played a key role in rebuilding our commercial operations, which are essential in supporting our charitable objectives.
Youth Work
Our youth outreach and prevention work has continued to grow, building on the momentum from our recognition as "Charity of the Year" in 2023, This acknowledgement has helped raise awareness and support for our youth services, which remain a vital component of our mission to prevent addiction and related harm.
As we move into the new year, our focus remains on delivering against our three strategic objectives: to continue developing and growing our services and the quality of our work; to strengthen our financial position and achieve our reserves policy; and to invest in our staff training within a values-led culture. These priorities will ensure we remain sustainable, impactful, and aligned with our mission. We would like to thank our dedicated staff, partners, and supporters for their continued commitment, without which our progress would not be possible.

Financial review
The Trust expanded Stage one Capacity during the year going from 31 to 41 at its main site in Yalding. The opportunity to offer more capacity to funders wanting to place recovering addicts with us has been well received and has been a primary driver in increasing revenue. The Stage 2 and 3 capacity has also been increased via property rentals to provide a home our move-on residents. This increase in revenue has helped offset the rising costs experienced in the employment and property categories.
The Trust has a long-term Business Loan from Unity Trust Bank who continue to show their support and believe in our recovery business plan. They are aware of our strategy of careful cost control and boosting capacity for income. The funds advanced last year have been put to good use in improving working conditions and resident accommodation quality.
Total income for the year was £2,948,385 (2024: £2,354,790). This is an increase of £593,595 (25.2%) compared to 2024 and was achieved from increased capacity and some price increases.
The. increase in revenues was accompanied by a 16.4% increase in costs to £2,777,000 (2024: £2,384,902). Despite this significant increase in revenue, our continued focus on cost control meant that our costs rose at a slower rate than revenues. The largest constituent increase in these costs relates to direct costs, particularly staff costs which rose by 19%, or £258,267, to £1,603,828 (2024: £1,345,561). This is the result of pay reviews and staff increases to manage the increased number of residents.
The Charity had a net movement in funds of positive £171,385 (2024: £(30,112)) which represents an improvement over 2024 of £201,497.
Our total funds have increased to £5,359,180 (2024: £5,187,795) at the year end, comprising £5,343,060 (2024: £5,151,671) unrestricted and £16,120 (2024: £36,124) restricted. .
The Balance Sheet shows net current assets of £176,069 (2024: £16,461) which represents an improvement in the year of £159,608.
Kenward belongs to a pension scheme with The Pensions Trust. Entry to the defined benefit scheme was closed several years ago and nowa defined contribution auto enrolment scheme is in operation. The old scheme is underfunded which means that an actuarial deficit must be included in the accounts; the provision for this has increased in the year to £14,652 (2024: £5,550). The overall withdrawal liability remains much higher. This will only be triggered if The Kenward Trust were to withdraw from the scheme completely, which it does not plan to do.
Reserves Policy
The Board of Trustees has reviewed the Reserves Policy of the Kenward Trust regarding the Charity's current operations and its plans. Particular attention and reference has been given to guidance provided within FRS 102, Charity Commission publications RS3 and CC19 (Charity Reserves and Charities and Reserves, respectively) and Charity Commission Guidance OG43 (Charity Income Reserves). The Board of Trustees has agreed a reserves policy equivalent to two months of employment costs. For the financial year 1st April 2024 to 31st March 20285, this was projected as £274,000. While our liquid cash reserves have been below this level for the financial year, the Board of Trustees will continue to be prepared to sel! one or more of the Charity's freehold properties in order to generate the appropriate level of liquid funds. The Trustees remain confident that the Trusts growth strategy mean this reserves target is achievable in the short to medium term.

Structure, Governance & Management Governing Document
The Kenward Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 1st February 2012 and registered with the Charity Commission on 21st March 2012. The Company took over delivery of services and ownership of property from The Kenward Trust Fund (charity number 265394) on 1st Apri! 2012.
The Kenward Trust Fund was registered as a charity on 27th March 1973 and has been governed by its Trust Deed, dated 24th May 1972. On incorporation, the fundamental elements of the Trust Deed were removed from -the Charity Register on 9th January 2015. Therefore, the Charity remains governed by the vision, purpose and intentions of the founding trustees; as now set out in the Articles.
Membership is open to individuals or organisations that apply to the Charity and are approved by the Trustees. There are currently eleven members (the Directors/Trustees of the Charity), each of whom agreed to contribute £10 in the event of the Charity winding up.
Appointment of Trustees
- The Articles of Association (Articles) provide that the Board of Trustees may be constituted of a minimum of three Trustees, but no more than twelve. For the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, Trustees of the Charity are also directors of the Company. In accordance with the Articles, on appointment, Trustees become members of the Company.
Under the requirements of the Articles, any person appointed as a Trustee by the Board of Trustees must retire at the next annual general meeting, at which time the appointment must be either ratified or terminated. At each Annual General Meeting, Trustees who have been in office for 3 years must retire from office but may stand for re-election.
Trustee Induction and Training
As a Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered organisation the Trustees take recruitment, induction and training of our Trustees very seriously. The Kenward Trust complies with Regulation 5 to ensure that all ; prospective and existing Trustees are assessed and continue to be deemed a fit and proper person to act as a Trustee of the Charity.
New Trustees undergo orientation to brief them on: their legal obligation under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and inform them of the content of the business plan and recent financial performance of the Charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend ongoing, appropriate, external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. Most trustees are also on one or more committee.
Organisation
The Board of Trustees, which can have between three and twelve members, administers the Charity. The Board normally meets quarterly and there are subcommittees covering Finance, Business Development, Quality Assurance which includes People & Policies and spirituality, which also meet on a quarterly basis.
A Chief Executive is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the Charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and programme delivery.
Related Parties and Cooperation with Other Organisations
None of our Trustees receive remuneration or other benefits from their work with the Charity. Any connection between a Trustee or senior manager of the Charity with a resident, must be disclosed to the full Board of Trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year, one Trustee was kind enough to rent property to the Trust at a discounted rental to house some residents in our Stage 3 programme.

| Trustees’ report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
Related Parties and Cooperation with Other Organisations (continued)
The Trustees considered the rental and agreed it satisfied their test of reasonableness. The Trust also commissioned an occupational health assessment from a business under the control of the Trustee at an arm's length price.
The Charity's wholly owned subsidiary, Kenward Enterprises Ltd, was established to operate the social enterprise activities. Kenward Enterprises Limited was incorporated on 20th February 2016.
Pay Policy for Senior Staff
The directors consider that the Board of Trustees and the Senior Management Team comprise the key management personne! of the Charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating of the Charity on a day-to-day basis. All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year.
The pay of senior staff is reviewed from time to time. In the view of the nature of the Charity, the Trustees benchmark against pay levels in other charities of a similar size. Some senior talent is retained on a consultancy basis to attract the best people.
Fund Raising Policy
The charity undertakes fundraising activities, which include fundraising in the community, applying to and partnering with companies and grant giving trusts, appeals and organising of events. Our fundraising activities are carried out in line with the Fundraising Code of Practice as set out by the Fundraising Regulator. No thirdparty agencies are used to fundraise on behalf of the charity. No fundraising complaints were received.
Risk Management
The charity continues to enhance and improve risk management systems. It operates a robust Risk Register that is analysed quarterly by the Financial and Quality Assurance Committees. The Finance Committee oversee financial and business risks whilst the Quality Committee reviews, clinical risks, staff risks and health & safety and RAG rated. All red coded risks are discussed at the board quarterly. A full review is carried out at the annual Trustees Strategic Day.
The Risk Register identifies principal risks to delivery of strategic objectives (as directed and agreed by the Board of Trustees for each financial year).
This is an important part of our governance process and provides a vehicle through which the Trustees, Chief Executive, Senior Management Team and Project Managers, as appropriate can:
-
Agree and analyse the Charity's strategic objectives;
-
Identify the principal risks to achieving them; 3. Agree necessary actions or establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified; and
-
4, Implement procedures to minimise any potential impact on the Charity, if the risks materialise.
Trustees’ responsibilities statement
The Trustees (who are also directors of Kenward Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparing of the Group strategic report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Independent auditor's report to the Members of The Kenward Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Kenward Trust (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
° give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at Jeast twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In the light-of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ report including the Strategic report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
° the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
° the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
° certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
: . )
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent charitable company's ability fo continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent auditor's report to the Members of The Kenward Trust (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures -in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Capability of the audit in detecting irrégularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error, to. obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks.
Based on our understanding of the charity and the sector as a whole, and through discussion with the Trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, anti-bribery, safeguarding and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Second Edition (released October 2019), the Companies Act 2006 and other relevant charity legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated Trustees’ and management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks related to posting inappropriate journal entries to increase revenue or reduce expenditure and management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
° Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety) and fraud; and
-
e Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and
-
° Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; and
-
° Conducting interviews with appropriate personnel to gain further insight into the contro] systems implemented, and the risk of irregularity; and
-
| . Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and
-
|| °° ConfirmationPerformingparty transactions,analyticalof relatedthatprocedures maypartiesindicatewithtorisksmanagement,identifyof materialany unusualandmisstatementreviewor unexpectedof duetransactionsto fraud;relationships,andthroughoutincludingthe periodrelatedto identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and
-
| ° Performing analytical procedures with automated data analytics tools to identify any unusual! or | unexpected relationships, including related party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and
-
: ® Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, reviewing internal audit reports and | reviewing correspondence with relevant tax and regulatory authorities; and ° Review of internal controls and physical inspection of tangible assets susceptible to fraud or irregularity; and
Page 14
The Kenward Trust (A company limited by guarantee)
Independent auditor's report to the Members of The Kenward Trust (continued)
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)
-
e Review of significant and unusual transactions and evaluation of the underlying financial rationale supporting the transactions; and
-
° Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial statement preparation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we wil! not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audit in accordance with [SAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
e _ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
-
. error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
e Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charitable company's internal control.
-
e Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
-
e Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in my Auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my Auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
;
-
e Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
e Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 March 2025
1. General information
The Kenward Trust is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed. Its registered office is Kenward House, Kenward Road, Yalding, Maidstone, Kent, ME18 6AH.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Kenward Trust 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.
The Consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated ona line by line basis.
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of financial activities in these financial statements.
2.2 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 Group and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
2.3 Income
|
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 income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Consolidated statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

The Kenward Trust (A company limited by guarantee)
: Notes to the financial statements | for the year ended 31 March 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the Trustees are of the opinion that the Charity can continue operating for a period of at least 12 months from the date these accounts were signed.
The Charity group has net current assets of £176,069 (2024: net current assets of £16,461) Improvements continue to be made increasing income and closely monitoring costs.
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern.
The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
2.5 Government grants
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Consolidated statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Consolidated statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. - Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All. costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Land & Buildings are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, tangible fixed assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting date.
7
Fair values are determined from market-based evidence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the tangible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, except as part of a contributing business, a Company may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost approach.
Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the Consolidated statement of financial activities, with a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
----- Start of picture text -----
Land and Buildings - 1% Revalued
Plant and machinery - 10%
Motor vehicles - 20%
Fixtures and fittings - 10%
Office equipment - 20%
Computer equipment - 20%
----- End of picture text -----
2.7 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated statement of financial activities.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
2.8 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
- 2.9 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
2.10 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.11 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.
2.12 Liabilities
Liabilities and provisions 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 those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.13 Financial instruments
The Group 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.
2.14 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.
2.15 Pensions
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025
- Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme
The Charity is part of the Pensions Trust Growth Plan, however entry to this scheme was closed a number of years ago. This is a multi employer defined benefit pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. It is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities of participating employers on a consistent and reasonable basis.
The fund is in deficit and if the charity was to withdraw from the scheme the cost of withdrawa! would have ‘been £386,284 on 30 September 2016. The charity does not plan to withdraw from the scheme.
A revised recovery plan took effect in April 2016 with new contributions.
The deficit contributions due from September 2023 will be £5,228 per year.
The group operates a Defined benefit pension scheme. However, the scheme is a multiple employer scheme and the group is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities.
A full. actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2023. This valuation showed assets of £514.9m, liabilities of £531.0m and a deficit of £16.1m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the. Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme, as shown above.
Tangible fixed assets
Property valuations
Freehold land and buildings are revalued by a professional valuer every 5 years. Trustees assess on an annual basis the valuation of the properties. The value of the properties is estimated to be the open market value at the balance sheet date.
;
Remaining asset classes are held at depreciated cost. The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. The economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect the current estimates, based on technological advancements, future investments, and economic utilisation. See note 14 for the carrying amount of the long-term leasehold property, plant and machinery, motor vehicles, fixtures and fittings and computer equipment.

- Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement (continued)
Critical areas of judgement:
Lease commitments
The Charity has entered into a range of lease commitments in respect of plant and equipment. The classification of these leases as either financial or operating leases requires the Trustees to consider whether the terms and conditions of each lease are such that the Charity has acquired the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the underlying assets.
Muiti-employer defined benefit pension scheme
Certain employees participate in a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme. In the judgement of the Trustees, the. Charity does not have sufficient information on the plan assets and liabilities to be able to reliably account for its share of the defined obligation and plan assets. Therefore the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme, see note 26 for further details.

- Pension commitments - | The Charity is part of the Pensions Trust Growth Plan, however entry to this scheme was closed a number of-years ago. This is a multi employer defined benefit pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. It is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities of participating employers on a consistent and reasonable basis.
The fund is in deficit and if the charity was to withdraw from the scheme the cost of withdrawal would have been £386,284 on 30 September 2016. The charity does not plan to withdraw from the scheme.
A revised recovery plan took effect in April 2016 with new contributions.
The deficit contributions due from September 2023 will be £5,228 per year.
The group operates a Defined benefit pension scheme. However, the scheme is a multiple employer scheme and the group is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities.
A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2023. This valuation showed assets of £514.9m, liabilities of £531.0m and a deficit of £16.1m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme, as shown above.
