TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, 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
Objectives in Accordance with the Public Benefit Statement (Charities Act 2011)
The STRIDE Foundation operates with a clear commitment to providing public benefit by directly addressing the needs of individuals and communities affected by addiction. As set out in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011, the objectives of the Foundation are to:
1. Relieve the suffering of individuals affected by addiction
We provide practical, high-impact support services to individuals in recovery, helping them navigate the complex journey of re-integrating into society. The charity focuses on alleviating the challenges of addiction recovery by offering accessible services and resources for individuals and their families.
2. Advance public understanding of addiction and its consequences
We seek to increase awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding addiction through educational initiatives and outreach programs. By providing unbiased, evidence-based information, the Foundation promotes informed discussions about addiction, mental health, and recovery.
3. Promote social inclusion and successful reintegration for individuals in recovery
We support individuals in their recovery by fostering social and community integration. The charity provides guidance to individuals who reach out for help via their social media platforms and website.
4. Encourage collaboration and resource-sharing with other organisations
We work with local charities, public health organisations, and experts in addiction and mental health to strengthen the support network for individuals in recovery, maximising its collective impact.
There has been no change in these during the year.
Activities
1. Providing Practical Support to Recovering Addicts and Their Families
We offer a wide range of services aimed at helping individuals recovering from addiction and their families. This includes counselling, therapeutic support, and assistance with reintegration into society, and guidance on rebuilding relationships and employment.
2. Educational Outreach and School Workshops
As part of its commitment to raising awareness, the Stride Foundation runs educational assembly's, workshops and talks in schools. These activities aim to inform young people about the realities of addiction, promote healthy lifestyle choices, and reduce the stigma around substance use. By reaching students early, STRIDE works to prevent future addictionrelated issues and foster a deeper understanding of the subject.
3. Sponsoring a Podcast to Raise Awareness on Addiction and Mental Health
The Stride Foundation operates a podcast dedicated to raising awareness about addiction and mental health issues. The podcast offers a platform for addiction specialists, mindset coaches, and individuals in recovery to share their expertise, personal stories, and valuable insights, furthering public understanding and reducing stigma.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
4. Supporting Local Charity Initiatives and Improving Public Perception
The Stride Foundation contributes to local charity initiatives that align with its mission to address addiction and mental health. By supporting these initiatives, the Foundation aims to improve the public perception of addiction, highlighting it as a treatable health issue rather than a moral failing.
These activities reflect STRIDE Foundation’s dedication to providing public benefit , ensuring that individuals affected by addiction receive the support they need and that the broader public gains a clearer, more informed perspective on addiction. Through education, support, and collaboration, the Stride Foundation is working to create lasting positive change for individuals, families, and communities.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Stride Foundation UK were able to provide guidance to people out of treatment, discussing the best ways to have strong sobriety, including 12 step programmes and the next best steps for them. The charity has also been able to arrange further treatment for people who need this, on a pro bono basis. This includes paid for programmes of therapy to certain people where full rehab treatment has not been necessary, but where a suitable therapist would work for them.
Achievements against objectives set
The Stride podcast series ‘This is Powerful’ - focusing on addiction recovery and positive mindset – had a successful first season of 24 episodes and began a second season. From August 2024 to the end of March 2025 32 episodes aired, reaching a growing audience via Apple Podcasts, and through a broad social media campaign. At the end of March 2025 total downloads were 135K, with 25K total views on the YouTube Channel and 3.7K followers on Instagram. Additional allocated funding of £27,544 was received from a private donor on 26 March 2025. This is Powerful has been nominated for a British Podcast Award.
In August 2024, Stride Foundation UK launched a pilot Outreach Programme, visiting a select group of schools to assess both the receptiveness and impact of our assemblies and workshops. The response from students, teachers, and school administrators was overwhelmingly positive. Feedback has highlighted the effectiveness of this wellness-focused approach in helping students relate to the content in a meaningful way. Furthermore, many schools have reported an increase in student engagement around mental health topics, with some requesting follow-up sessions and additional support for at-risk students. The success of this pilot phase has provided us with invaluable insights into how we can refine our delivery methods, expand our content offerings, and scale our efforts to reach a broader student audience. This feedback has validated the need for the programme and reinforced our belief that schools are eager for more support in addressing these critical issues. Between August 2024 and March 2025, the Project delivered 25 assemblies and workshops in secondary schools.
We successfully applied for funding to continue the Outreach Project and received £32,465 funding for this purpose on 26 March 2025 from a private donor.
Financial review
Incoming resources for the year totalled £85,666, of which £25,666 were for unrestricted purposes and £60,000 were for restricted purposes. Outgoing resources for the year totalled £141,195, all of which were attributable to unrestricted funds. Overall the accounts show a deficit for the year of £55,529. Unrestricted funds at the year-end totalled £352,769 and restricted funds totalled £60,000.
The results for the year are as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF STRIDE FOUNDATION UK CIO
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Stride Foundation UK CIO (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement - matter of concern identified
I have completed my examination. I have identified a matter of concern that, Stride Foundation UK CIO employed a person connected to a trustee, as fully disclosed in note 20. The charity did not obtain prior consent from The Charity Commission in relation to the employment arrangement as required by the charity's constitution document.
I have not seen any evidence of misappropriation of funds. The board of trustees have been made aware of the situation and the connected trustee has resigned from the role.
I confirm that apart from the matter of concern set out above, no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I confirm that there are no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Stride Foundation UK CIO is a charitable incorporated organisation. It is incorporated in England and Wales and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The registered office is Wellesley House, Duke of Wellington Avenue, Royal Arsenal, London, SE18 6SS. The charity does not have an operating address.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
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 the historical cost convention. 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. Unrestricted funds include donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used.
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.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
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.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 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.
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.
1.8 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

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.
