The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements, the Companies Act 2006 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 charity (previously known as the Warden's Charitable Trust) was set up in 1988 with the objectives of the material, mental, physical and spiritual welfare of persons who are suffering from mental illness, arrested or incomplete development of mind, psychopathic disorder, any other disorder of the mind, or physical disability and illness, and the education and material physical and spiritual welfare of young persons. The charity has operated within the objectives of its Memorandum & Articles of Association, progressively expanding its amenities and services to meet an increasing demand.

The charity's objects and principal activities as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association are that of:-

WARDENS TRUST

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Strategies for achieving aims and objectives

Strategy

Our short term strategy was reviewed during 2020/21, and as previously, during 2024/25 the trustees agreed to:

• Improve facilities within the whole Wardens Trust estate, Avocet flat, main hall and camping in order to increase footfall from our target population.

• Continue to offer services and facilities both within our hall and within the community for lonely and socially isolated individuals.

• To maintain adequate reserves (general and restricted) to finance administration costs and infrastructure.

• To respond to changes in local needs for our target population as they develop, by involvement in local authority Community Partnership schemes.

These aims were reviewed again in light of current and proposed future strategic infrastructure projects local to Wardens Trust (Windfarm projects and Sizewell C).

Evidence of need

Wardens Trust aims to deliver services and facilities to persons of any age who are or might be suffering from mental or physical disability, illness or disorder, and to assist them in their mental and spiritual welfare.

The facilities include a 4.5 acre seaside site in Suffolk, with a main hall and kitchen, a 4 bedroom 12 bed annexe and the Avocet holiday flat for disabled users. There is a large cliff-top camping area outside.

The amenities are only available on a pre-booking basis and are fully described further on the Trust website www.wardenstrust.org

During the year, demand for the facility and the services was high. Our email mailing list of over 200 names and over 60 user organisations is healthy.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

Wardens Trust continued to deliver services to young and old, and anyone with mental and physical disabilities.

Visitor numbers in 2024/25 continued to increase. Specialist Bath Day and Lunch Clubs, having restarted in 2023/ 24, continue to be very well-attended.

The charity's infrastructure funding objective in 2023/24 was the provision of an outside toilet block with disabled access which as been built and commissioned during 2025.

Donations and grants received during the year continue to be a crucial source of income.

Of note this year, we were successful with our application to Suffolk Community Foundation for a grant from the Sizewell C funding pot for improving lives and communities in the surrounding area of this national infrastructure project. In January, we received the first year's funding amount (£41,350) of a 3 year grant, with the second and third tranches to be received on the second and third year anniversary dates. This funding is restricted for the purpose of providing bathing facilities on bath days and lunch club activities for those in need in the community.

WARDENS TRUST

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Investment performance

Investment income is derived from a share portfolio managed by Brewin Dolphin on behalf of Wardens Trust.

Financial review

The accounts show a net surplus for the year of £20,503 (2024: a deficit of £7,277). The closing fund balances total £125,086 as at 30 April 2025.

Going concern

The trustees are confident that the charity remains financially viable given the financial and budgetary framework in place, this alongside accumulated reserves and the investments held, in their opinion supports the plans for the future. These accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Reserves policy

The charity's reserves policy is reviewed annually. This is set at approximately one year’s turnover (excluding new developments) plus an amount set aside for business continuity should there be a major issue with the hall not covered by our buildings insurance policy. The reserves policy considers the major risks, financial and reputational to the charity and considers mitigations for those. The Trustees assessed the major risks during 2024/25 and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Income is mainly derived from fees and grants, but it remains the longer term financial strategy to slowly increase the former so as not to be so reliant on the latter.

Plans for future periods

The charity's next funding objectives are to:-

Structure, governance and management

WARDENS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Wardens Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Beeches, Littlethorpe, Ripon, HG4 3LW.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 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)". 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 applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

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 historic cost convention, modified to include the fixed asset investments at fair value. 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.

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.

Designated funds have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific charitable activities.

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.

Donations received for the general purposes of the Trust are included as unrestricted funds. Donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to ‘restricted funds’ where their wishes are legally binding on the Trustees.

Income from donations, legacies and grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

Donated or gifted goods and services are recognised as income at the point that the economic benefit from the goods or services have passed to the charity and when the amount can be reliably quantified and measured.

Income from charitable activities received represents amounts received for services provided.

WARDENS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis. Most expenditure is directly appointed to cost categories based on the amount attributable to that activity in the year. Charitable activities costs included costs of preparation of the statutory accounts.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:

Leasehold improvements 10 years straight line basis Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance

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 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.

1.9 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.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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.

WARDENS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

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.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

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.
