## **Report of the Trustees for Year Ending 31[st] March 2025**
The trustees present the Trustee Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year end 31[st] March 2025.
## **Mission and purpose**
The core of our mission remains unchanged, however the statement has been reviewed and amended relevant to be relevant the post-covid world.
We have one central mission and purpose:
## _“Helping Dads and Families.”_
Whilst we deliver this mission we have two distinct aims:
_“Dads Houses’ aim is to make sure children remain the priority after divorce, separation or bereavement.”_
## _“Combating loneliness”_
Loneliness and social isolation are an epidemic in modern society. It is an extremely dangerous health risk, contributing to physical illness as well as mental distress.
Dads going though family breakdown are especially vulnerable when they leave the family home. Dads House provides yoga classes, football nights and Dads Table to give fathers the community they need.
## **Delivering on mission and purpose**
The charity continued to deliver its critical services during the year, backed by our great funders.
We continue to deliver services into the community with outreach services, such as the foodbank, a range of clubs, from sport, to cooking to music, to combat loneliness and increase family support. We launched the Dads Roundtable for single fathers to talk through their experiences and build support, this has proved immensely valuable for all involved. We have improved the general well-being support for all that engage with the charity, with counsellors assisting through the family law clinic and leading our Dads Roundtable, this is something we will continue to focus on enhance.
Our community payments (or ‘household fund’) remained important to those most in need and we welcomed our strongest funding yet in the winter of 2024/25. This enables us to deploy funding directly to families in need during winter, through secure utility payments, to white good purchase to school clothing funds. All funding received is spent in its entirety and no funds are withheld for the administration of this service.
We issued the Cost of Living Report in 2025 – Exploring our impact for Fathers and Families in Crisis.
Our family law clinic remains led by Simon Bruce and is now generally accepted as the leading pro-bono family law providers in the UK. The team continue to take on immensely important work, we received over 7,000 enquiries a year they held 1050 client appointments in the year, 45% of our clients has repeat sessions and the value of pro-bono advice and representation was around £1.375m. The family law clinic won the Family Law Award 2024 for Community Interaction, the Best Contribution by a Pro Bono clinic at the Pro Bono Awards 2024 and for 2024 and 2025 the Family Law Clinic Manager was shortlisted for the Family Law – Champion Award.
We issued a Family Law Clinic Annual report covering 2024/25 activity.
To guarantee the longevity of the charity we have deployed more funds to improve our fundraising process, especially given the difficult years we have faced in achieving the funding. At least three of the team now spend time of fundraising, with specific focus on community support and family law.
**DAD’S HOUSE CHARITY NUMBER: 1172419**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The structure and governance remain robustly in place. Once again, no trustee or management changes took place in the year. The trustees are delighted that the management team, led by ‘Billy’ continues to deliver and the charity benefits from their huge wealth of experience.
The charity is a registered charity (1172419) with the date of registration being 4[th] April 2017. Prior to being registered Dads House operated as an unregistered charity for 9 years set-up by William McGranaghan to help single dads with the practicalities of raising children alone. William, known as Billy, continues to be the Chief Executive Officer of the charity.
The trustees meet with the Chief Executive Officer and management teams as observers at minimum every six months to agree the broad strategy of the charity and to receive an operational update, review and approve new charitable activities and related spend, funding performance, financial performance, reserve management, risk management.
The treasurer meets with the Chief Executive Officer at least monthly to review funding activity, expenditure and cash management.
## **Management Team**
The Management Team continues to be led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) William McGranaghan, founder of the charity. William is supported by specialists across Family Law, Foodbank Management, Fund raising and Family Welfare.
Although no changes to the management team have been made, we naturally reorientate some of our team as the operations and demands on the charity change. Funding and donations have been a c
One important post-year end event was the awarding of a Member of the British Empire, to William McGranaghan MBE, for his services to the London community. This is hugely well deserved and reflection of how Billy has dedicated himself to the welfare of others for many years. The trustees congratulate Billy on this achievement.
## **Family Law Clinic – Simon Miller KC**
The trustees were deeply saddened to hear of the sad passing of Simon Miller KC in April 2025. Simon was intrinsically involved with the family law clinic and was a hugely talented and respected family law barrister.
Simon will remain very much missed at DadsHouse and we extend our condolences to Simons family. Rest in peace, Simon.

## **Charity supporters**
The trustees would like to give our deepest appreciation to all our supporters, both individuals and organisations, that have been so generous with us:

## **Risk Management**
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
## Financial risk
The trustees consider a low financial risk being the stability in income through donations and grants, which has been downgraded from a medium risk from last year. We have invested funds and taken steps to professionalise our fundraising activity with the objective to seek stable income, and we have seen positive results. The charity is reporting the third year in which income has grown by over 30%. This is testament to robust funding processes and the demonstrable value the charity offers to its funders and clients.
Another low financial risk has been introduced to the charity as the ‘household fund’ service has grown. This fund allows us to distribute financial support through electric/gas top up cards, shopping vouchers and essential home equipment to support families over the winter. Additional financial controls have been put in place to mitigate the risks presented and we have met all of the covenants of our funders in respect to ring-fenced funds.
## Operational risk
The major operational risk remains as previous years, which is the base we use on West Brompton Road kindly donated by the Earls Court Development Company on a yearly lease. The office and its location is critical in the delivery of our services. We were pleased that the Earls Court Development Company offered us a three-year contract on our office, this offered us some security. However, we are keeping actively informed on the progress made for the development of Earls Court and we are very aware this will have a major impact on our office space in the next couple of years.
We have proved successful in staff retention and again report no major changes that impact the operations of the challenges.
We do experience continued challenges on staff safety due to clients going through emotional situations resulting in challenging behaviour, or sadly clients under the influence. Whilst none of this behaviour is accepted, we face in-going safety concerns which at times requires funding for equipment and new protocols.
## Other risks
We continue to purchase suitable insurance to cover the charity, which includes Family Law clinic insurance donated by Law Works.
**DAD’S HOUSE CHARITY NUMBER: 1172419**
Key person risk is a factor in any small organisation. As mentioned earlier in this report, the sad passing of one of our pro-bono barristers demonstrated to the charity how operations can be deeply impacted through the loss of a key person. However, our operations and process proved to be robust and minimised disruption. The personal sadness though this was wide reaching in the charity; we actively supported the emotional well-being all directly impacted. We actively address key people risk where we can.
A low risk around data confidentiality also exists, we hold a growing amount of client data, specifically through increased services of the Household Fund and the Family Law Clinic. All data is stored electronically within the Dad’s House domain and any data stored manually is in a secure location.
## **Related parties**
No trustee holds any further trusteeships with other charities. Our CEO works exclusively for Dad’s House. We work closely with other charities in delivery services to our clients and their families.
## **Financial review**
The year-end financial statements have been produced and presented in line with Charities SORP (FRS102) and we have gained an Independent Assessment as required by the Charities Commission.
We have reported a Net Income of £51,240 which is a reduction on last year’s Net Income of £117,059.
This increase is driven by deceased income of £78k and a reduction in expenses of £12k. The income decrease was driven by reduced individual donations of £28k, trust income was down £53k. The income figures reflect the financial constraints across society, from individuals to trusts, however due to the work of our funding team increase in corporate grants are encouraging.
The reduced in expenditure of £12k was encouraging but mostly driven by reduced grants where the charity is required to pass funding directly onto clients in the London community.
Our cash balance was at £521,080, which is an increase on last year’s balance of £455,871. We continue to enhance and grow our services which has increased our expenses. We continue to seek to execute on strategic projects, however the expected cost of these projects are growing and further reserves are required. We continue to manage cash very prudently, with the financial strategy of financial stability and longevity of the charity.
## **Statement of Financial Activities**
Our Total Income was £249,834 (excluding In-kind Support), this is made up of £47k in individual donations (including gift aid) through Just Giving, PayPal, Facebook and direct bank donations, but reduced by £30k on the prior year. Grants from other charities, Trusts income totalled £195k income but was down by £75k, however this was mainly due to no national lottery funding in the year. Corporate income was up by £22k, to £45k in the year, which reflects the hard work of our funding team. Income from charities instant and UK treasury deposits was £7k.
Charitable expenditure reduced £12k was driven by reduced ‘household funding’ of £23kwhere councils and trust grant us funds during winter to wholly and directly help the community of London. This was offset by increase people costs of £9k, as we ensure living wages are paid and strive to grow and enhance our services.
In line with the Charity SORP (FRS102) we estimated the value of donated property lease and donated food at £139,270, which has reduced on last years £179,800 and reflects lower foodbank food donations and general activity.
## **Balance Sheet**
Our total funds for the year are £499,098 which is an increase on the prior year of £447,861
No creditors exist at year end with all creditors paid on a timely basis. One deferred income balance exists of £9,200 for a grant made that covers services to be delivered past year end. Due to banking issues some of our
## **DAD’S HOUSE CHARITY NUMBER: 1172419**
service suppliers were paid late for March 2025, this resulted in increased accruals of £15k.
Finally, cash is £521,080 at year end. Our reserving policy allocates funds on a quarterly basis to identifiable reserves based on Charity Commission guidance; these reserves are reviewed on a quarterly basis. As of 31[st] March 2025, the reserves represent:
- We maintain a £210,897k reserve for contingency costs, in the event of income reducing we aim to maintain funds to cover 12 months of the highest expenses over the past three financial years and we will maintain close costs of £10,000 related to the operational and compliance costs in the eventuality of the charity having to close.
- Restricted funds are at zero
- We have reserved funds for our future activities and new projects to ensure improved delivery to our clients and new service expansion. This has increased from £100k to £125k, reflecting higher expected costs on projects and this reserve is allocation for the following projects;
- Launch a new office in selected communities in London or the Home Counties to increase the reach of Dads House. Exploration of an office has not been successful so far with the running costs expected to edge our operational expenses to a level which is not sufficiently covered by income. We continue to explore this with partners to lower costs.
- Expansion of the away day program and introducing weekends away. This project aims to provide single parents and their children, who are already engaged in our other services, with magical weekend getaways, offering them a break from the acute challenges they may be facing and the hustle and bustle of London. This continues to be a success and we will expand this further into 2025/26.
We believe that maintaining this reserve is prudent, as it enables the charity to confidently pursue its primary objective of raising funds to support its charitable goals. Importantly, in the past, we have relied on our reserves to provide urgent and critical support during periods of acute need for our most vulnerable families. These reserves not only bolster our financial resilience but also allow us to continue developing Dads House projects to meet the growing needs of our beneficiaries.
