I F Brown Mrs H M Evans Ms G Harding Doctor S E Owen ## **STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES** The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. ## **ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:** Susannah Owen (Oct 9, 2025 16:11:10 GMT+1) Director 1 September 2025 Page 2 ## **The Foundation For Ribble Valley Families** ## **Income Statement for the year ended 31 January 2025** ||31/1/25|31/1/24| |---|---|---| ||£|£| |**TURNOVER**|49,369|73,810| |Administrative expenses|59,958|64,357| |**OPERATING (DEFICIT)/SURPLUS**|(10,589)|9,453| |Interest receivable and similar income|614|-| |**(DEFICIT)/SURPLUS BEFORE**||| |**TAXATION**|(9,975)|9,453| |Tax on (deficit)/surplus|-|-| |**(DEFICIT)/SURPLUS FOR THE**||| |**FINANCIAL YEAR**|(9,975)|9,453| The notes form part of these financial statements Page 3 ## **The Foundation For Ribble Valley Families (Registered number: 09382059)** ## **Abridged Balance Sheet 31 January 2025** ||31/1/25|31/1/24| |---|---|---| ||£|£| |**CURRENT ASSETS**||| |Cash at bank and in hand|43,628|54,041| |**CREDITORS**||| |Amounts falling due within one year|1,584|2,022| |**NET CURRENT ASSETS**|42,044|52,019| |**TOTAL ASSETS LESS CURRENT**||| |**LIABILITIES**|42,044|52,019| |**RESERVES**||| |Income and expenditure account|42,044|52,019| ||42,044|52,019| The company is entitled to exemption from audit under Section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended 31 January 2025.

The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. ## 2. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **Turnover** Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. ## **Taxation** Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. ## **Deferred tax** Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. ## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. ## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. ## 3. **EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS** The average number of employees during the year was 3 (2024 - 3).
