The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025
Introduction
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, 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 published in October 2019.
The Trustees are Directors of the company for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are shown on page 1.
Objectives and Activities of the Charity, including public benefit statement.
A summary of the objects of the charity as set out in its governing document.
To relieve the needs of males with controlling addictions, in particular but not exclusively alcohol and drug addiction, gambling and uncontrolled spending, by providing a structured programme of ongoing support which will cater for their social, physical, emotional and spiritual needs whilst developing their life skills.
How our activities deliver public benefit
The charities main activities are described above. All our charitable activities focus on assisting males in dealing with their addiction issues and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities the trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
Volunteers
The Moses Project are supported by numerous volunteers who provide a range of services. On average, volunteers dedicate 8-10 hours of their time each week, which is invaluable to The Moses Project and allows paid employees to focus on high dependency clients.
Financial review and reserves policy
Financial review
The Moses Project ends this financial year with a deficit of £94,291 (2024: deficit of £24,102). There was a deficit of £104,030 (2024: deficit of £66,972) on unrestricted funds and a surplus on restricted funds of £9,739 (2024: surplus of £42,870).
As a charity we give thanks to God that during this difficult year not only have we been able to increase the number of people we have had a positive impact on but also, we have been able to deepen and widen our existing network of contacts both in local government and in the local community to enhance and extend our work with those in the most desperate of circumstances. As such we thank those involved and give glory to God for his help, strength and wisdom that has allowed us to be such a positive agent of help and support to many in need.

Reserves policy
The charity’s reserves policy is to maintain free reserves equivalent to between three and six months of core operating expenditure, sufficient to enable the charity to manage cashflow fluctuations and, if necessary, to allow for an orderly reduction or cessation of activities.
Free reserves are defined as unrestricted funds that are not designated or otherwise committed. At 31 March 2025, the charity’s free reserves were negative (£15,198) (2024: £88,832), which is below the level set out in the reserves policy.
The trustees are aware of this position and have reviewed it carefully. The reduction in free reserves during the year reflects a combination of reduced unrestricted income and the continued delivery of frontline services in response to increased demand. The trustees consider this use of reserves to be consistent with the charity’s charitable objectives.
Restricted funds at the year end totalled £111,321 (2024: £101,582). These funds relate to specific grants awarded for defined purposes and future periods and are not available to support general expenditure.
The trustees will continue to monitor the reserves position closely and are actively seeking to rebuild unrestricted reserves through diversification of income streams and securing longer-term funding
Red Sea Enterprise Limited
On 18th February 2023 The Moses Project became the sole owner of Red Sea Enterprises Ltd, company number 14673909. The Moses Project holds 100% of the share capital therefore all voting rights.
The purpose of the subsidiary is to establish a dry house, which will provide supported accommodation for client of the charity. The trustees have been unable to locate and secure a suitable premises for the dry house, but efforts continue to get the project started.
As the subsidiary has not yet undertaken any financial activities, the company has been dormant since incorporation, with dormant company accounts prepared and filed with Companies House.
Structure, governance and management.
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 22[nd] March 2012 and registered as a charity. The company was established under Articles of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company.

Risk management
The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.
Organisational structure
The board of management, consisting of trustees and officers, meet at least quarterly to decide matters of policy and strategy. Day to day management is delegated to the chief executive officer and his team.
Going concern
In assessing whether the charity is a going concern, the trustees have considered the charity’s financial position, cashflow forecasts, committed and anticipated income, and the level of restricted funds held at the balance sheet date.
Although unrestricted reserves were negative at 31 March 2025, the charity continues to operate with the support of secured restricted funding and ongoing grant income. Since the year end, the charity has continued to receive funding and has maintained normal operational activity.
The trustees are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. The trustees will continue to review financial performance, funding levels and cashflow on a regular basis to ensure the charity remains financially sustainable.
Subsequent to the year end, the organisation has secured funding totalling approximately £160,000 for the 2025/26 financial year. This includes a £25,000 grant, specifically designated to enable the organisation to rebuild reserves, as well as a £25,000 match funding grant and five-year funding commitment from The National Lottery Reaching Communities, providing longer-term financial stability. As a result, the organisation is considered to be in a robust financial position going forward.
At the year end, the organisation reported negative reserves. This position arose as a result of a funded project that did not ultimately materialise within the accounting period. Following constructive discussions after the year end, the organisation’s funders graciously agreed to the reallocation of restricted funds. In particular, two funders approved the reallocation of £26,500 originally restricted project, which significantly improved the reserves position post year end. Had this reallocation occurred prior to the year end, the organisation would not have reported negative reserves.
In addition, the Trustees/are actively investigating an expansion, which is expected to further strengthen the organisation’s income base, subject to feasibility and funding considerations.

Report of the Chair of Trustees
Introduction
The Moses Project was established in 2012 with the mission to provide guidance, mentoring, and support to adult males aged 25 and older suffering from addiction to drugs and alcohol. Our work is based in central Stockton-on-Tees and covers surrounding areas, regions among the most deprived in the UK. Over the past year we have continued to fulfil our mission by offering comprehensive support to men age 25+, battling addiction and often experiencing homelessness, helping them regain control of their lives and reintegrate into the community.
Going forward the trustees have agreed to submit a request to the Charity Commission to amend the charitable objectives replacing ‘males aged 25+’ to ‘people’ to align with increased demand from younger people and females.
N.B this was approved on 28[th] October 2025.
Key Activities and Achievements
Throughout 2024 – 2025, The Moses Project has consistently adapted and evolved to meet the needs of those we serve with a wide range of services tailored to their needs. This includes access to hot meals, showers, laundry, one to one support for a range of needs, including but not limited to; homelessness, addiction, rehabilitation, mental health crisis, and housing. During the year, The Moses Project experienced a footfall of 6,101 people through the door. We have actively engaged with 305 clients at any given time.
Our holistic approach ensures we offer more than just immediate relief. We collaborate with local statutory and voluntary agencies as part of the wider North East regional jigsaw of services including as Cleveland Police, The Police and Crime Commissioner, Stockton Borough Council, and Mind, to provide long-term solutions that include addiction recovery, mental health support and another housing assistance. This year our partnership with Stockton Borough Council and The Wellbeing Hub as part of the NHS Community Mental Health Transformation project saw continued and personalised support for mental health further enhancing the profile of our delivery.
The Moses Project is eternally grateful to the board of trustees for their continued commitment and guidance throughout the year.
Financial Overview
The financial year 2024-2025 has seen The Moses Project secure funding through various grants and partnerships, and we are extremely grateful for the support from so many trusts, foundations, individual donors and philanthropist including but not limited to; Nationwide, Warburtons, Stockton Borough Council, Catalyst Stockton, Leeds Building Society Charitable Foundation, Badur Foundation, The National Lottery, and Garfield Weston. This financial stability has enabled us to continue providing crucial services without interruption. Our financial management remains robust, with funds being allocated to ensure maximum impact and sustainability of our services.

Report of the Chair of Trustees
Impact of Services
The impact of our services is profound, with significant improvements in the lives of our beneficiaries. In the past year alone, 92 individuals have successfully completed rehabilitation and reintegrated into society as well as 26 completing a successful detox. Additionally, over 71 men have been supported into safe accommodation and 29 have gained employment. Our commitment to addressing addiction and homelessness is reflected in the positive outcomes reported by our clients, including restored family relationships and increase self-sufficiency.
Challenges and Developments
Over the past year, we have continued to navigate significant challenges, most notably the sustained rise in demand for our services. Ongoing economic pressures and the deepening cost-of-living crisis have disproportionately affected the people we support, many of whom are among the most vulnerable and marginalised in our community. Despite these pressures, our strong partnerships and the commitment of our volunteers, staff, and wider community have enabled us to respond with resilience and innovation.
Beneficiary feedback has remained central to our development. Their insights have guided the refinement of existing services and the introduction of new initiatives designed to meet emerging needs. This year, we expanded our creative wellbeing sessions and further developed our Walk & Talk project, which continues to play a vital role in reducing isolation and building confidence.
We also continued the delivery of practical skills programmes, including slow cooker and air fryer courses, helping individuals build confidence in budgeting and preparing nutritious meals. The introduction of our Men’s Pie Club last year has created a space for connection, routine, and peer support. Alongside this, our Buddy project has continued to grow from strength to strength, supporting men as they transition into new accommodation and learn essential life skills such as shopping, cooking, and managing their finances.
In conclusion, although the past year has brought its own set of unique challenges, The Moses Project has remained steadfast in its mission. We extend our sincere gratitude to our dedicated volunteers, staff, and trustees, whose unwavering commitment and resilience continue to drive our work forward and strengthen our impact within the community.
Strategic Goals for 2025-2026
In the year ahead, The Moses Project will continue to pursue the establishment of a dedicated dry house, providing a safe, drug-free living environment for men in recovery. Securing a suitable property has proven challenging, but this remains a core strategic priority, and we will continue to actively progress this project until it is fully operational.
As with many charities, sustaining and increasing funding for core costs is essential to our long-term stability. Our focus remains on retaining the resources needed to maintain and grow our staff team so that we can meet rising demand and ensure high-quality, person-centred support.

Report of the Chair of Trustees
We also plan to expand the reach of our Buddy Project, enabling us to support a greater number of individuals as they transition into independent living. This programme continues to play a vital role in helping people build confidence, develop essential life skills, and maintain stability during a vulnerable period of their recovery journey.
In response to the significant gap in local services for women, we are beginning to plan targeted support for women affected by addiction. Our initial focus will be on helping women access rehabilitation, recognising the urgent need for gender-specific pathways which offer safety, dignity, and meaningful opportunities for recovery.
Together, these strategic goals reflect our commitment to strengthening our services, addressing unmet need, and creating long-term, life-changing opportunities for the people we support.

Trustees’ responsibilities statement
The trustees (who are also directors of The Moses Project for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
Method of preparation of accounts

The Moses Project
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Moses Project
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Moses Project (‘the charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company 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 the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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
-
the financial statements 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).

The Moses Project Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31 March 2025
1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period.
Basis of preparation of the accounts
The Moses Project is a company limited by guarantee and registered in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are to assist males in dealing with their addiction issues.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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) in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The charity has applied the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in October 2019 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention The charity is entirely dependent on continuing grants and donations and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on the continuing grant aid.
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Further details are included in the Trustees’ Report. The trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Incoming Resources
Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis.
12
The Moses Project Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Deferred income
In accordance with the SORP grants received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met, and which are outside the control of the charity or where it is uncertain whether the conditions can or will be met, are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts.
Resources Expended
The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services. 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 include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Allocation of costs within types of resources expended . The methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources set out above are designed to reflect the use of the resource.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Finance and operating leases
Rentals payable in respect of operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.
Funds structure policy
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above. Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances.
