FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial posltion
Total closing funds as at 31 July 2025 were £3.521,15512024- £3.305.9381. During the year. the charity has
generated a net income of £215,217 12024- £1.615,292}. The level of donation5 records a substantial
decline. Thts decline was anticipated as the donation re￿iVed from Mr John Burns in 2024 was known to
be noFprecurring. Burns Pet Nutrition Ltd have committed to supporting the charity with an annual
donatiorh of £4CKJ,000 JNtil December 2028. The potential tessation of the annual 5UPPOrt from Burns Pet
Nutrition Ltd in December 2028 wil I have 3 ￿gnIfICant impact upon our future net income position. In the
meantiTne. the t￿SteeS will be closely monitoring the chariVs trading activities and pursuing new sources
of charity funding to ensure the sustainability of our charitable artrvities.
Fundraising activity
Whilst fundraising activity is not a key income gerkeration activity for tFE Foundation. any actual fur￿5
generated is always welcome and provides valuable support for our charitable activities.
Investment policy and objectives
The foundation holds investments for the purpose of generating income to support charitsble artivities.
The investment in woodland has performed during the year with a net return of almost £170,000. It 15
however appreciated that woodland is a long-term investment with returns expected to wary significantly
from year to year. Professional woodland managers are engaged to advise upon our woodland investment
strategy. The glamping pod artivity has gerterated a surplus during the year and a review of that activity is
being corbducted to ensure that future returns are maximised.
The Foundation will seek to obtain the best income returns on its c3Pital reserve5 to partially fund its
ongoing opeTrtions. The tnjstees have a low appetite to risk and therefore investment5 will only be made
in low to medium Tlsk products and in all cases. care is exercised so that our capital is secured and
protected.
Post year end, the charity has secured investment construction of a leased Tesco Express building in
Tumble, Carmarthenshire. The r3te of return is IO% and for a short tem recovery of 18 months.
ReseNes policy
In the longer term, the trustees will aim to maintain free reseNe5 at a level which equates to
approximately six months of charitable expenditure. It is considered that this level will provide sufficient
funds to respond to the commrtmerbt5 made to our beneficiary groups and ensure that support and
governance costs are covered.
Free reserves as at the balance sheet date amounted to £808,953 12024- £623,862), whith comprise the
charitable assets that may freely and quickly converted into cash. Thi5 does not indude the woodland nor
the investment portfolio which are viewed by the trustees as a long-term investment for the future
development of charitsble activities.
The trustees are mindful of the need to diversify tts sources of fundinE through alternative grant funding,
donations and trading activity and therefore feel that the ojrrent level of free reserves is appropriate, at
present, to erbable its attivities to continue until 31ternatNe funding is secured. The current level of re5etves
is in excess of our reserve5 policyi but the trustees consider it prudent to maintain this position irb the short
term.
This policy will be regularly reviewed.

Our responstbilitie5 for the audit of thefinanclal statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance
with the Art and ￿levant regulations made or hawng effect thereunder.
Our Objectiv￿ are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue 3 Report of the Independent
Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable aSsu￿n￿ is a high level of assurance, bLJt is not a
guarantee that an aud it conducted in accordance with ISA5 IUKI will always detect a material misstatement
wherb it exists. Mi5Statemerbts can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, indiwdually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be experted to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, incltjding fraud and
non-compliarKe wlth laws and regulations. we considered the followin&
nature of the charity and the sector in which it operate5.
the legal and regulatory framework in which the charity operates. and in particular those laws and

Charities Act 2011, health and safety legislation.

detecting and responding to the risk5 of fraud and whether theie is any knowledge of actual, suspetted or
alleged fraud.
the internal controls established to mrtigate risks of fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations.
As a result of these procedures. we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct
irnpatt on the finoncial statements are SORP FRS 102. We performed audit procedures to detett
non-compliance which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing
financial Statement disclosures.
The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as an area where the
financial statements were most susceptible to material mi55t3tement due to fraud. Audit procedures
performed included but were not limited to evaluating the business rationale in relation to any 518nific3nt.
unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business.
In addition to the above, our procedures included-
reviewing the financial statement disclosure5 and testing to supporting documentation to asses5
compliance with relevant laws and regulations
enquires of m3nagement and those charged wf(h governance concerning artual and potential litigatio
and claims
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexperted relationships that may indicate
