Financial Review Review ofthe chartty's financial position at the end of the period P¥a 121 The charity had unrestricted funds of £276.428 al year end, an increase of £109,671 on the previous year. The outlook remains that the charty will continue lo make high Sevels of sustainable grants each year that are a meaningful proportion of net funds raised durin the year. The charty policy remains not to forward commit granls funds- grants are made in accordan￿ with grant making policy and when funding is available_ As net donations raised are substantially derwed from and predicated on events & activities driven actions las opposed to regular inflows or legacy amounlsl, the￿ is less certainty of funds availabil- to forward commit. The chanty does not have an explicit reserves policy. The chartty has no policy to hold financial or other investments to generate income (there is no investment licy required .

Trustees Report

For the year ended 31 December 2024

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 prevention or relief of poverty, the relief of sickness and the preservation and protection of good health and the advancement of education for the public benefit anywhere in the world by providing grants, items and services to individuals in need and/or charities or other organisations as the trustees may in their absolute determine.

We are a charity for other charities. We seek to support causes that are doing sincere noble work, those that find it difficult to undertake fundraising and those that make effective, impactful use of our grants. We help create sustainable improvements to the lives of people suffering from poverty of health and education. We ensure the maximum amount of any donation reaches the end cause by minimising overheads through use of dedicated volunteers.

We maintain an active, transparent digital presence via the website and social media to engage and communicate with our supporters, causes, donors, sponsors and partners and to promote fundraising events.

Strategy for meeting our charitable purpose

Fundraising to enable One Kind Act to provide Grants for selected causes underpins our charitable purpose. The financial objectives are defined as part of the planning cycle for the year.

At a principal level, we have defined the following categories of commercial fundraising approaches:

Developments, Achievements and Performance

During the year we introduced an increased focus on a fewer number of causes to support – those that we felt were driving greatest impact and increased sustainability. We continued to raise our profile, broaden our techniques of fundraising, providing grants and increasing the number of supporters and donors.

We have managed to achieve:

Financial Review

Cash reserves at the end of the year are adequate to support the continuation of current activities.

Risk Analysis

systems & controls, policies and governance are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.

Going Concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees confirm that they have considered and reviewed the charity’s financial position and plans for the foreseeable future including its cashflow position (for at least 12 months from the date the accounts were approved) and conclude there is no reason to believe that the charity will not continue to operate as a going concern.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees of One Kind Act are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including "The Financial Reporting Standard 102 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, The Charities Act 201 1, Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for the period.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustee’s report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 24[th] October 2025. Signed on behalf of the Trustees:

One Kind Act Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of One Kind Act For the year ended 31 December 2024

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st December 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011(the Charities Act} and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examination's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements

  2. (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
