Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its constitution and forms a charitable incorporated organisation. It is managed by its trustees who are all volunteers and employees of the Severfield Group of companies. They met on four occasions during the year. Its reporting date is 30 September.

Risk management

The trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Foundation. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established as appropriate.

As a grant-making body, the major risk to the Foundation's ability to deliver its objectives is a failure to secure sufficient income for distribution.

Objectives and activities

The objectives are:

Nothing in its constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the charity for the purposes which are not charitable in accordance with section 2 of the Charities Act 2011.

Grant making policy

All applications received are considered by the Trustees on their own merit for suitability of funding.

Public benefit

The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Details of how the Foundation has carried out its work for the public benefit are given in the following section and all donations made are listed in note 4.

Achievements, performance and financial review

The trustees have applied their funds in accordance with the objectives of the trust and their grant making policy.

Continuing from last year, the foundation remains committed to localised fundraising, focusing on supporting local charities. This year, we have maintained this approach, ensuring that all funds raised are allocated entirely to the selected local charities. The chosen charities are evaluated by the trustees who represent their respective areas, along with the committee as a whole.

Our nominated local charities for each of the Severfield Group's subsidiaries, included Bolton Hospice, Martin House, St Catherine's, Greater Manchester Blood Bikes, Friends of Cancer, The Hinge Centre and Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Severfield plc has agreed to donate up to £20,000 per annum by way of matched funding as well as contributing to the cost of fundraising activities. Furthermore, Severfield plc may also make additional donations to the Foundation in exceptional circumstances.

Financial review

In the current year, the Foundation received income of £88,208 (2024: £54,580) of which £20,000 (2024: £20,000) was from Severfield plc by way of match funding. The Foundation committed donations of £79,100 (2024: £52,700) to its local partners.

Going Concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Achievements, performance and financial review (continued)

Reserves policy

During the year, the trustees agreed that the surplus should be distributed to the local partner charities. Other distributions may be made during the year where trustees collectively agree to support a charity with an ad hoc donation. At the discretion of the trustees, an amount will be held in reserves at the end of each financial year to allow any such donations to be made.

The Severfield Foundation does not incur any significant monthly expenses and no trustees’ remuneration or expenses are charged to The Foundation. On this basis, the amount of funds required to be held in reserves is not a significant factor and funding headroom is only maintained for potential future donations.

At 30 September 2025, the Foundation had free reserves of £30,720 (2024: £23,621). The trustees consider it prudent to hold income reserves of this order so that grants in the immediate future can be sustained in the event of unforeseen falls in income.

Outlook

The Foundation continues to be proud to be supported by Severfield plc, and the Group and its employees continue to support the Foundation.

We have continued to see increased levels of engagement since our move to a local charity partner model and the introduction of a volunteering policy and we continually aim to increase the levels of fundraising over time.

Trustees

Details of the trustees who served during the period are set out on page 2 of these financial statements. Following the departure of Alan Dunsmore, Mark Sanderson has taken the position as Chair of the Trustees.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the report of the trustees and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period, 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. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of its constitution.

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.

Trustee Reports Severfield Commercial & Industrial Dalton

Dalton Charity Committee has had another fantastic year with fundraising. We have taken on a secondary charity partner, Herriot Hospice, in addition to our long-standing charity partner Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Having both partners on board has enabled us to undertake larger scale events this last year.

The three challenges were - Leeds Marathon, Bridlington Skydive and Yorkshire Three Peaks. Our colleagues really were so supportive of these events and together helped raise a phenomenal £5,630. Each event was a success individually and we plan to hold similar events this year.

In addition to the larger events, we had our annual Easter & Christmas raffles – with homemade cakes and biscuits always going down a treat, our Summer Social and Christmas party had fantastic uptake and on top of all that we even squeezed in a charity Golf Day. With such good participation in the events, we raised over £4,750. Overall, this year including match funding we have raised £23,800 to share between our two nominated charity partners!

Trustee Reports - Severfield plc

This year, colleagues across Severfield plc came together once again to support the Foundation and Martin House Children’s Hospice through a range of fundraising and volunteering activities.

Over 85 hours of volunteering were dedicated to supporting the hospice, including assisting at the warehouse with charity shop stock and house clearances. The Severfield Sleepout at was a standout event, with colleagues spending the night outdoors with only sleeping bags to raise over £1,000. The initiative was centred around the message: “we have a tough night’s sleep so a family can have a good night’s sleep at the hospice,” highlighting the vital support Martin House provides to families.

A virtual welding competition also engaged hundreds of colleagues across the business, while additional fundraising efforts such as cake sales and office initiatives contributed over £3,000. Funds were also raised in support of the annual boat race, despite its cancellation due to unsafe conditions.

We were also pleased to donate a £1,000 Amazon voucher to support the purchase of an iPad for patients and families at the hospice.

We again wrapped the fundraising year up with the glamorous Glitter Ball, an unforgettable evening of dressing up, dancing, and raising substantial funds for Martin House.

Trustee Reports - Severfield Commercial & Industrial Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland ‘s main fundraising activity this year focussed on fitness, with a group of individuals challenging themselves to take part in the Belfast City Marathon Relay. We fielded both a male and female team with each individual running a leg of the relay ranging between 5 and 8 miles.

In addition to this main event, smaller fundraising events were also held including our annual Christmas raffle. Altogether, with match funding, £18,600 was raised in Northern Ireland which was distributed between six charities selected by employees – Autism NI, NI Hospice, NI Alzheimer's Society, NI Kidney Patients Association, Marie Curie and Cash for Kids. NI employees also volunteered for Cash for Kids helping in the distribution of toys at Christmastime to underprivileged families across Northern Ireland.

During the 2024/25 financial year, Severfield Nuclear & Infrastructure delivered an exceptional charity fundraising performance, significantly exceeding its annual target of £3,750 and raising a total of £11,100, (including PLC match funding), for Manchester Blood Bikes.

Key fundraising activities included the Sweet Shop (£701), Movember (£1,330), Lucas’s Marathon Challenge (£535), the Snowdon Challenge (£765), and donations generated through the Elton Street Clear-out (£1,200).

Notable events included the annual Team Nuclear versus Commercial competition, which raised £200 for charity and saw Team Nuclear secure victory with a score of 1,783 points against Commercial’s 1,472. The Severfield Golf Day contributed a further £193, whilst ongoing donation initiatives throughout the year helped maintain fundraising momentum.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 September 2025

1. Accounting Policies

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, the Charities Act 2011 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities [FRS 102) (issued in October 2019). The Severfield Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

Income

All income is included on the Statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 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 is recognised at the time of the donation.

Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Schedule 6 paragraph 1of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charity for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt form taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by the Income Tax Act 2007, part 10 s521 - s537 or s256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Fund accounting

Designated funds represent amounts of unpaid match funding where the outcome of events is known but payment had not been made at 30 September. All remaining funds are considered to be unrestricted funds which the trustees are free to use in accordance with the trust's objects.

17

Document ID: 9e4fe65a3a7cc0e4071064f6b5911894b84de31b7e80529c9871cf2c8523976f

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Departure from Charities Regulations 2008

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Going concern

In committing to grant making activity over the next 12 months, cashflow will be closely monitored. The charity has sufficient reserves to enable it to continue for the foreseeable future. The trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.
