Report of the Trustees for the period ended 30 March 2025.
Trustees and Their Responsibilities
Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members. The principles and main duties are the same in all cases.
Trustees have, and must accept, ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of a charity, and ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and meeting the needs for which it has been set up.
LiveKind Trustees are pleased to present their annual report and financial statements for the period ended 30th March 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005) (Accounting Standards Charities Act 2011).
Principle Objects
A. Gender Inequality and Gender-Based Violence
- To help relieve the mental and physical sickness of persons globally suffering from the impacts of gender inequality and gender-based violence by the provision of counselling and support for such persons. To advance the education of the public in the subject of gender equality and the prevention of gender inequality and gender-based violence.
For the public benefit to promote the education (including social and physical training) of people impacted or potentially impacted by gender inequality, globally, in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, including by:
-
Awarding to such persons, scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants tenable at any university, college or institution of higher or further education.
-
Providing their education (including the study of music or other arts), to undertake travel in furtherance of that education or to prepare for entry to any occupation, trade or profession on leaving any educational establishment.
B. Animal Welfare
To promote human behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for animals which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill-usage and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals.

Registered Charity No: 1164237
D. Grant Making
To advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time in particular, but not limited to, advancing the objectives above by making grants and awards to UK and international charities, NGO’s and community organisations.
Mission Statement
LiveKind’s core values are those of Ahimsa. All LiveKind activities must be carried out in accordance of Ahimsa principles. For the purposes of clarity Ahimsa is a term meaning ‘compassion’ and ‘not to injure’. Ahimsa is also referred to as non-violence. Ahimsa means to cause no harm and it applies to all living beings including all animals as well as people. For this reason, LiveKind will only support the provision of vegetarian food and product in people, projects and activities that we support.
Activities and Achievements
During the period, the trustees continued to research and evaluate opportunities to make final grants and disbursements prior to closing the charity. However, they were unable to identify a project or projects to which they felt it was appropriate to make final grants and disbursement. No new projects were therefore funded during the period. The trustees have resolved that they will to seek projects to make final grants and disbursements before closing the charity in the next financial period.
Structure, Governance and Management
LiveKind is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission and governed by its constitution, dated 3[rd] November 2015.
Membership of the CIO is currently held by the Trustees. If the CIO is wound up, the members of the CIO have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities.
The trustees who served during the period are shown on page 2 of this report.
Risk Management
The Trustees review risks relevant to the charity as part of their governance processes. Any material risks identified are discussed and decisions made on potential mitigation.
Reserves Policy and Going Concern
The Board has assessed the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. As a result, the Board has approved a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, should be held in reserve and maintained at a level, which ensures that LiveKind’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The target reserve amount represents at least 6 months’ (26 weeks) expenditure and will be reviewed annually.
Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Related Parties and Co-operation with Other Organisations
None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with its members must be disclosed

to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current period no such related party transactions were reported.

Internal and External Factors
The trustees are very grateful to the donors for their kind support.
Future Plan
In 2025/26, the trustees have resolved to seek projects to make final grants and disbursements before closing the charity in the next financial year.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 March 2025
1. Accounting Basis
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
-
a) Basis of preparation
-
b) The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. LiveKind meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
-
b) Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
-
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was needed. No restatements were required.
-
c) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
-
The Charity trustees are of the view that measures taken in reviewing organisational costs regularly and successful in applying for continuation funding have secured the immediate future of the Charity for the next 12 to 18 months and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
2. Cash Flow Statement
The trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 (revised) from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charity is small.
3. Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the Receipts and Payments when the organisation is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
4. Resource Expendable
All expenditure is accounted for on a cash basis and has been included under expenses categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.
