A note from our Chair

As Chair of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to present this Annual Report and reflect on a year of both challenge and progress for the charity.

The context in which the charity operat’s continues to underline the importance of its mission. Across schools and communities, increasing numbers of young people are experiencing challenges relating to their mental health and wellbeing. The need for accessible, preventative, and empowering support has never been more evident, and the KISP programme of workshops continues to provide valuable opportunities for young people to build resilience, develop positive coping strategies, nurture their emotional intelligence, strengthen their wellbeing and above all, understand the strength of kindness.

Like many charities, Be Kind Movement has faced a difficult operating environment over the past year. The economic climate has made fundraising and access to grant funding increasingly competitive, creating pressures on its ability to secure sustainable income. Despite these challenges, the charity has been fortunate to receive targeted funding for programmes delivered in schools. These grants enabled the charity to continue its direct work with young people and provided clear evidence of the meaningful impact its programmes are having. Feedback from both pupils and teachers demonstrates positive outcomes, with participants reporting increased confidence and self awareness, improved wellbeing, and a greater understanding of empathy.

The year also marked an important period of transition and renewal for the charity’s governance. Following trustee departures in 2024, the charity successfully recruited a new trustee with expertise in fundraising and governance. The diverse skills, expertise, and networks brought by the board of trustees have strengthened the organisation, helping the charity foster new connections and consider alternative strategic opportunities for the future. This includes exploring partnerships and collaborative approaches with other charities and organisations to increase its reach, effectiveness, and long-term sustainability.

Alongside these developments, the board undertook a comprehensive review of the charity’s policies and established a formal risk management framework with the support of the Operation Manager and law firm K&L Gates (who provided pro bono support). These important steps provide a strong foundation for effective governance and will support the charity as it continues to grow and evolve.

The charity has not been without its operational challenges. Fundraising pressures, staff turnover, volunteer retention, and the risk of burnout have all required careful management throughout the year. The charity has also continued to explore affordable and effective technology solutions to support the development of its online academy. While identifying the right platform has presented difficulties, I am encouraged by the successful completion of the academy pilot. The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive and demonstrated the significant potential for this initiative to expand the charity’s reach and impact in the years ahead.

It has also been gratifying to see Be Kind Movement’s work receive external recognition through nominations and awards that acknowledge the difference the charity is making. These achievements are a testament to the dedication of its staff, volunteers, trustees, supporters, and partners, all of whom contribute so much to its success.

Looking ahead, the charity has continued to strengthen its marketing and engagement activities. During the year it refined its marketing strategy and laid the foundations for several exciting initiatives, including the launch of the Kindness Unlocked campaign, designed to increase awareness, engagement, and participation in its work. The charity also developed

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

the Kindness Ambassadors programme and planned an online auction to encourage greater levels of individual giving and community involvement as it moves towards the end of 2025.

While challenges remain, I am confident that the charity is well positioned to build on its achievements. It’s commitment to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people remains unwavering, and the impact of its work continues to demonstrate why it matters. By strengthening the charity’s governance, expanding its partnerships, investing in innovation, and engaging new supporters, it is creating a stronger foundation for the future.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to thank everyone who has supported the charity throughout the year. Your commitment, generosity, and belief in our mission enable us to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and the future of our society.

Lisa Ardley-Price Chair of the Board of Trustees

Trustees Report

The Trustees present their report and financial statement for the year ending 31st August 2025. This report and accounts have been prepared by reference to Accounting by Charities – Statement of Recommended Practice 2005, Financial Reporting Standards for Smaller Enterprises 2015 and Charities Act 2011.

The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is an independent charity established on 30th May 2015. The CIO's annual report is published on the Charity Commission Website.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Charities Act 2011 requires 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 of the charity for that period.

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity. 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.

Organisation

The Board of Trustees include:

The Members of the CIO are individuals who undertake to act in good faith to further the purposes of the CIO. The affairs of the CIO are managed by the Charity Trustees. Decisions are made by simple majority of votes at a meeting of Trustees or by resolution made in writing or in electronic form and agreed by all Trustees. The following are the responsibilities of the Trustees:

Charitable Objective

Be Kind Movement's charitable objective is:

To promote the physical, mental and moral development of children and young people in the UK or overseas, including development of emotional intelligence skills.

6

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

Need for our Work

The mental health of children and young people in the UK remains in crisis. A diagnosable mental health condition now affects around one in three children in the average classroom, and half of all lifetime mental health problems are established by the age of 14. Demand continues to outstrip the support available, with NHS referrals for under-18s still climbing and many children left waiting months – sometimes years – to be seen.

At the same time, the school system is under acute strain. With emotional wellbeing too often treated as secondary to academic attainment, and with budgets stretched ever thinner, teachers are left without the time, training or resources to help pupils make sense of what they are feeling. The cost falls heaviest on children from disadvantaged backgrounds, who are most likely to be navigating trauma, bullying and isolation with the fewest tools to do so.

This is borne out in our own work. Among 11–16 year olds, close to half report having been bullied, and teachers consistently describe a decline in everyday kindness – less empathy, more conflict between peers, and mounting pressure online. When we surveyed teachers ahead of the Be Kind Academy pilot in 2025, they identified low self-confidence (93% of respondents), stress and anxiety (86%) and in-person bullying (79%) as the issues weighing most heavily on their pupils.

This is the gap Be Kind Movement exists to fill. In a world that is more connected yet more divided than ever, children urgently need safe spaces to build resilience, empathy and a sense of their own worth. Kindness is not a soft extra; it is a practical tool for raising a generation able to build a fairer, safer and more inclusive world.

Our Solution

At the heart of everything we do is the Kindness in School Programme™ (KISP), Be Kind Movement's flagship initiative and a structured route to building emotional intelligence (EQ) in children and young people aged 7–16. Using film as the entry point into social and emotional learning, KISP works as an early, preventative response to rising mental health need, exploring ten core kindness values with pupils: resilience, mindfulness, integrity, assertiveness, gratitude, compassion, courage, responsibility, respect and caring.

The programme brings these values to life through four core components:

Strategy Day July 2025

The Board held its annual Strategy Day on 16 July 2025, building on the strategic framework agreed the previous year and refining priorities for 2025-26 and beyond. Strategy discussions had continued throughout the year, with dedicated strategy sessions in October and November 2024 and regular reviews across informal Board meetings, but the July 2025 day provided the opportunity to take stock of the full year, test progress against objectives and set clear direction for the next phase of the charity's development.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to create a movement of kindness for a fair and inclusive world by building emotional intelligence in young people.

Mission Statement

To entertain, educate and empower young people to build emotional intelligence through the medium of films and kindness values.

Shared Values

Strategic Focus and Objectives set for 2024-25

The priorities against which 2024-25 was delivered and measured were agreed at the previous year's Strategy Day in July 2024. The Strategic Focus for the year was:

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

Delivery of Goals September 2024 – August 2025

We started the year with five Trustees, 17 volunteers, four freelancers and three Kindness Ambassadors. Over the course of the year, the organisation grew substantially, with marketing expanding to a team of seven, two new fundraisers recruited, ten new team members recruited across KISP™, and new freelance leadership in Operations and Fundraising, later consolidated into a single Charity Development Manager role held by Antony.

As at the July 2025 Strategy Day, the charity's core resourcing was: a CEO working 2.5 days a week, four paid members of staff (with a target of five to six), 19 active volunteers supported by two to three interns, and a Board of five Trustees. The Volunteer Manager role remained vacant at year end and has been identified as a priority for 2025-26.

Fundraising Overview

2024-25 was a year of significant transformation for fundraising at Be Kind Movement. The year began with the long-standing reliance on a single part-time freelance resource supported by volunteer grant writers, and closed with a substantially more professional, multi-stream fundraising function underpinned by dedicated consultancy support, formal strategy, new systems and a clear pipeline of campaigns and events for 2025-26.

Autumn 2024: building fundraising capacity

Following the strategic decision taken in mid-2024, Becky joined in autumn 2024 as Fundraising Manager and Antony as Operations Manager, both on part-time freelance contracts funded through unrestricted reserves. Antony's remit later expanded to Charity Development Manager, covering governance, policies, fundraising strategy and corporate outreach. Autumn activity focused on diversifying income beyond grants, with £950 raised through the Diva Luxe community fundraising event, a £10,000 grant secured from the Brian Murtaugh charitable trust, and award nominations at both the She Inspires and We Are Novi awards.

Winter and spring 2025: strategy and pipeline

The December 2024–February 2025 period was dedicated to refining the fundraising strategy, finalising the Case for Support and the Corporate deck, and mapping Trustee and team networks to identify warm routes to corporate prospects. The Quiz Show with Shaun Wallace was planned and a wine and cheese online auction evening was scoped. Between March and May 2025 two new fundraisers were recruited, ongoing grant application submissions, a new grants writer joined the team (with a student placement in September), the June fundraising dinner was postponed to autumn 2025, and Cannes follow-ups were progressed. Grants were secured from the Wimbledon Foundation and Tesco during the period.

May–August 2025: Kirsty and Isabella consultancy engagement

A defining moment for the fundraising function came in mid-2025 with the appointment of two specialist fundraising consultants on fixed-term engagements running to November 2025. Kirsty led on community fundraising, individual giving and events, while Isabella led on trusts, foundations, awards and corporate partnerships. Working in tandem with Antony and Premila, their remit was to take the fundraising operation from a predominantly grants-led model, delivered through a small volunteer grants team, to a diversified, systematised function equipped to support the charity's more ambitious 2025-26 financial targets of £95,340 (stand still) to £131,540 (stretch).

Across the four months the two consultants delivered a substantial body of strategic work:

Fundraising Plan 2025-2026:

A comprehensive written plan was produced, setting out four funding priorities:(Core Costs and Organisational Capacity, KISP™, a new Digital Safety Programme; and Be Kind Academy, an income target matrix across eleven income streams, quarterly milestones, risks and mitigation, and clear success measures.

Individual giving:

12

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

Events:

Systems and infrastructure:

By August 2025, the fundraising function had transformed from a largely grants-dependent activity into a multi-stream, systematised operation with documented strategy, infrastructure, materials and pipelines across trusts and foundations, awards, corporate partnerships, community fundraising, individual giving, events and merchandise. This transformation represents the single most significant organisational investment made during the year, and directly underpins the stretch ambition set at the July 2025 Strategy Day.

Throughout the year, Chair Lisa Ardley-Price continued to support fundraising directly, including running a marathon during the year to raise funds for the charity, and a key priority for the Board was to actively open doors and facilitate introductions to prospects across their corporate and trust networks.

Partnerships Overview

Christian Dior

The Charity of Choice partnership with Christian Dior, launched in the previous year with a goal of raising £6,000 concluded with a raise of just under £6000. These funds directly

13

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

contributed to the ongoing development of education content and operational costs of the charity.

Kind Natured

As anticipated in the 2023-24 report, the partnership with Kind Natured came to an end during the year following the sale of the business to a third party. Residual donations from the sale of Kind Natured merchandise carrying the BKM logo continued through to summer 2025.

Be Kind Productions

Be Kind Productions, the film production company founded by Premila Puri, continued to provide in-kind services to support the charity through sourcing of films, liaising with filmmakers and producing filmed content pro bono. During 2024-25, Be Kind Productions supported the completion of the Helping Hands short film, which moved into the edit phase and is expected to be ready for screening in 2026.

UCL / 108 Consulting

108 Consulting, part of University College London, continued to provide teams of students supporting impact data analysis and monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL). The charity's Impact Report was completed during the year, providing robust evidence of the outcomes achieved through KISP™ workshops.

Let's Localise and King's Trust

New partnership discussions progressed with Let's Localise and the King's Trust during 2024-25, with set-up work for Let's Localise undertaken in Q4 and King's Trust discussions identified as a priority for the coming year.

Education Overview

2024-25 was a transformative year for the Education team. The year's priority shifted from face-to-face workshop delivery – which the charity was unable to resource during the year due to funding constraints – to the successful pilot launch of Be Kind Academy (BKA), alongside a substantial body of new content and resource development.

Team changes

Rebecca Grinter, who had stepped in as Head of Education the previous year, moved on during 2024-25, with Mubaraka Najmuddin, who’s been volunteering with the charity since 2024, stepping into the role. The team continued to grow, with ten new team members recruited across KISP™ delivery, and additional student volunteers supporting the sourcing of films.

Be Kind Academy Pilot – launched March 2025

Be Kind Academy (BKA) is the digital evolution of our award-winning Kindness in School Programme™ supporting children aged 7–16 through an accessible, scalable e-learning platform. The concept originally emerged during the Covid lockdown, when KISP™ workshops were successfully delivered digitally to 400 students across a multi-academy trust, proving that the charity could reach thousands more children at a more accessible cost. That experience laid the foundation for the full pilot launched in March 2025.

The pilot ran across 6 schools and reached 293 students and 14 teachers. Over a four-week period, students watched high-impact short films that each highlighted one or two kindness values – including integrity, compassion, respect, resilience, responsibility and caring – supported by teacher-led facilitation.

Pupil-level outcomes:

Teacher-level outcomes:

Teacher feedback also identified clear areas for development, including more activities linked to videos, expanded video content, a possible companion app for children, a "BeKind journal" for students, and additional worksheets. These insights are directly informing the next iteration of the platform ahead of the full Be Kind Academy launch planned for Q3 2026.

Crucially, 50% of participating pilot schools indicated they would subscribe to the platform (hosted on LearnWorld), providing early validation of the subscription-led business model that underpins BKA's long-term sustainability strategy.

Face-to-face workshop delivery

The Board had hoped to continue face-to-face workshop delivery alongside the digital pilot during 2024-25, but limited funding meant that no in-person KISP™ workshops were delivered during the financial year outside of the Be Kind Academy pilot. This reflected the combination of ongoing funding pressure on small charities, continued budgetary constraints within schools, and the Board's deliberate decision to concentrate available capacity on launching and evaluating the Be Kind Academy pilot – the platform that the charity believes offers the clearest route to scale, sustainability and broader reach.

The impact of the Kindness in School Programme™ is nonetheless well-evidenced by the cumulative delivery record built up since the charity began its work. To date, KISP™ has delivered 137 workshops to 1,432 students across 35 schools, with 88% of children reporting that they had learned more about kindness, compassion and assertiveness, 76% reporting an increased understanding of kindness concepts, and 100% of teachers saying they would recommend the workshops. Feedback from recent years continues to underline the value of the work:

“Many children come from traumatic backgrounds so watching them talk so openly about their internal thoughts was something they desperately needed space to do. The current

15

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

curriculum does not cater for children to use creative space and resources to talk freely.” – Wellbeing Advisor, Smallwood Primary

Securing funding for face-to-face deliveryis a key priority for the coming year, and is expected to enable a return to in-person KISP™ delivery from 2025-26 onwards.

Resource and content development

Under Mubaraka's leadership, the Education team met fortnightly throughout the year to develop a substantial new library of teaching and learning resources. Work progressed across four main streams: film facilitation packs, EQ eBooks, Kindness Worksheets and Early Years content.

A significant programme of work was undertaken to build out a full library of EQ eBooks and kindness worksheets across Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. The team started by adapting existing Secondary eBooks for Primary (ages 7–11) audiences, before moving into original creation.

Early Years content:

Development of dedicated Early Years (ages 4–6) content began in Q3, in response to growing demand from partner schools and aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. Following attendance at an Early Years webinar focused on emotional wellbeing and calmness in young children, the team shifted the format from presentation-style to PDF/storybook-style for greater accessibility and age-appropriateness.

Helping Hands short film

The Helping Hands short film, produced in partnership with Be Kind Productions during the previous year, progressed through the edit phase and is expected to be ready for screening in 2026.

Digital Marketing and Social Media Activities

Marketing underwent a significant transition during 2024-25. Our Head of Marketing, who had been leading the function, resigned during the year for personal reasons, prompting the recruitment of a new Head of Marketing and the expansion of the team to seven. By early 2025 the team structure covered a marketing lead, an SEO, email strategist, a website manager, a copywriter and a graphic designer.

2025 Marketing Strategy

The team developed a formal 2025 Marketing Strategy and Strategic Focus Table to align marketing activity directly with the charity's organisational priorities. The strategy's core objective was to raise awareness among brand partners, corporate sponsors and schools about Be Kind Movement's mission, and to drive engagement that translates into partnerships, workshop bookings and donations.

The strategy identified two primary target audiences – corporate sponsors and brand partners with a CSR focus on kindness, and schools and educators looking to integrate kindness education – and set out five content pillars:

16

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

A monthly content calendar was developed mapping each month to specific national and international awareness days (Random Acts of Kindness Week, International Women's Day, Mental Health Awareness Week, World Kindness Day, and so on), with clear audience rotation across Corporate, Parents and Schools on a weekly cycle.

PR Strategy – “Can Kindness Be Taught?”

In April 2025 the team drafted a dedicated PR Strategy titled “Can Kindness Be Taught?”, designed to shift the charity from passive to strategic PR in the run-up to World Kindness Day on 13 November 2025. The strategy set out a four-phase approach: Awareness and Engagement (March–June 2025), Activation and Participation (July–September 2025), Campaign Peak (October–November 2025), and Sustained Engagement and Legacy Building (December 2025–February 2026). Strategy development work began in earnest in July 2025, feeding directly into the “Kindness Unlocked” campaign that launched in September 2025.

Website and SEO Improvements

A comprehensive website and traffic analysis was completed in early 2025, identifying strong brand awareness via search but limited non-branded traffic, high-engagement pages that were not optimised for conversion, and underperforming pages on events and volunteering that needed better content and CTAs. Work during the year focused on website cleanup, rewriting key landing pages (Partner With Us and Kindness in School Programme) for SEO, a proposed migration from Squarespace to Mailchimp for the newsletter to improve automation and segmentation, and the development of a keyword strategy targeting non-branded terms such as "Emotional Intelligence Training" and "EQ workshops UK".

Digital performance

The charity's Google Analytics data for the 12 months ending 25 February 2025 provides the most recent robust measure of digital engagement. This window covers approximately the first half of the 2024-25 financial year plus the second half of 2023-24. User growth peaked during Q1 of the 2024-25 financial year, with September 2024 adding 254 users and October 2024 adding a further 230 users, suggesting that engagement directly reflected increased activity under the new marketing leadership.

Website traffic (12 months to 25 February 2025):

Google organic search:

The analysis highlighted that Organic Search remained the strongest traffic source and confirmed the KISP page's high engagement time as an opportunity to drive conversions to partnerships and enquiries, provided CTAs and metadata are strengthened.

Financial Review

The results for the year and financial position are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Resources expended were £49,244 against income receivable of £38,156, resulting in a deficit of £11,088. Combined with the previous year's balance, this gave the charity total funds carried forward of £20,785, including reserves of £10,000.

For the year ending 31 August 2025, our biggest source of income was grant income (£19,808), with community fundraising second (£17,636). Although there has been a decrease in grant income (£15,791), this is mainly due to increased competition for a smaller number of grants. Despite this challenging environment, we have maintained a strong record of winning grants.

Income is only recognised as the workshops are delivered, therefore any unused funds at the year end are carried forwards into the following year. At the year end the charity had £12,014 of restricted funds it is carrying forwards to the next period. The breakdown by fund can be seen in note 10 of the Financial Statement.

Based on the 2024-25 financial income breakdown, the following can be concluded going forward:

● Grants will remain potentially a source of major income, whilst we aim to diversify multiple sources of income for the charity.

● The success rate of grant wins is particularly challenging in this high cost of living climate where Trusts and Foundations have limited funds.

● Bringing in a dedicated fundraiser to help diversify income streams would enable the charity to mitigate the risk of relying mostly on grants to fund their kindness programme. Without this resource, the charity is unlikely to see a significant increase in community donations or individual giving.

● The charity has no physical premises and works entirely 100% remotely (ie Zoom and storage) in a bid to keep costs down and make the most efficient use of resources.

● A reserve of £8,771 will suffice to cover charity’s ongoing running costs for another period of 8-10 months.

Restricted General Reserves: Be Kind Movement is a 100% voluntary driven charity and all funds raised through grants and other restricted income is allocated to the delivery of our charitable goals. The Trustees have agreed to keep a General Reserve that represents approximately 6 months of operating costs (£10,000) enabling main operations to continue regardless of fundraising. This amount would cover our monthly operational (mainly subscription, IT, Insurance and misc) costs and any emergency winding down costs however this does not cover any costs associated with delivering our aims, projects or activities.

CIO Registered 1161876 Trustees Report and Accounts year ended: 31/8/25

For the coming financial year, the strategy we are looking to implement includes building income through fundraising activities, with a focus on diversifying income streams.
