Ob'octives and actlvities The charty's objects are to support the Nuclear Test Veterans community through the funding and running of a number of projects. The NCCF was established by funding received from HM Treasury by way of grant and endowment under the Aged Veterans Fund. The Objectives of the NCCF are.. (11 The organisation is established to deliver education, research and support activities to ease suffering, increase health, wellbeing and enhance social inclusion of the British Nuclear Survivor Community. This community is formed of veterans ofthe British Nuclear Testing Programme, theirfamilies and descendants, extending to any person who may have encountered potential clastogenic exposure of radiological or chemical agents in the service of the nation and their families and descendants. {2> To conduct or promote research into the causes and effects and treatment of such clastogenic exposure and to disseminate the results of such research. (3) To provide financial assistance and support by way of grants gifts or otherwise in deserving cases of need of any of the identified beneficiaries. {4} To gather and preserve the heritage of the experiences of the member8 of the British Nuclear SuDiivor Community and to facilitate acts of remembrance. (5) To provide a communications network to disseminate any interesting or relevant news and information throughout the British Nuclear Survivor Communty. {6) To work in 8UPPOrt ofthe benefit of the members of the Brrtish Nuclear Survivor Community. During this financial period, the NCCF carried out these objects by.. Contributing professional support to the management of the Centre for the Health Effects of Radiological and Chemical Agents ICHRC) at Brunel University London. This support enabled the CHRC to.. act as a national knowledge hub for scientific, health & wellbeing and, policy-related work deliver a programme of scientific research make information accessible and provide evidence-based education and training enhance care and wellbeing through increased understanding coordinate activities with partners at the international level This activity was primarily focused on our beneficiary community. The continued delivery of the Care Wellbeing and Inclusion Fund to beneficiaries, which directly addresses the reduction of suffering and increase of wellbeing, by providing good5 and services to address those issues unaddressed by the State. Communications activrties are principally delivered through the charity's magazine 'Exposure' and its online website. Other activities supporting the organisation's aims are delivered on a more opportunistic basis, allowing the NCCF to adapt and change to address situations within the community while maintaining the charity's aims. Docusign Envelope ID.. 88CCF9C1-AF5mOAC-B1￿926g2BDISAFc NUCLEAR COMMUNITY CHARITY FUND TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Adopting this approach has seen the NCCF increase its support across the beneficiary community following the introduction of the Community Care Check Pilot, funded by a £70k two-year grant from the Office for Veterans Affairs. Publlc Beneflt In fomiulating and applying these objectives, the Trustees have referred to the guidance from the Charity Commission on Public Benefit. The Charity meets its public benefit requirements by providing grant funding for research, providing goods and services for beneficiaries, and communty outreach (in particular communications and remembrance). Achlevements and erformance The NCCF'S adaptability and continual development philosophy have been evident in our new activities. The board has adeptly used remote working facilities and app-based automation to manage rising administration costs effectively, demonstrating our commitment to efficiency and innovation. Our commitment to the nuclear community has been unwavering as dramatic events involving other organisations unfolded. The BNTVA CIO trustees, recognising our dedication, asked the NCCF to become the custodian of their community responsibilities, a testament to our integral rofe in the nuclear community. The NCCF has achieved significant milestones, taking over the responsibility for community activities relating to Remembrance, Reunion and Communication. Under the banner of BNTVA Connect, we managed the National Atomic Veterans Awareness Day at the National Memorial Arboretum and organised the first Nuclear Community Convention for May 2024. Our Exposure magazine now features a BNTVA editorial section, and we have provided support to the BNTVA Museum Communty Interest Company, preserving the unique heritage of our beneficiary community. While the number of General Grant applications remained steady, the launch of the outreach stage in January 2024 saw a significant increase in the Office for Veterans Affairs-funded Community Care Check Pilot scheme. This proactive approach demonstrates our commitment to enhancing our services and meeting the needs of our community. The new trustees recruited at the end of the previous year have added diversity from perspective and expertise to the board, cementing their ability to deliver against aims in the coming year. Building on the early lessons of the Community Care Check Pilot, we have incorporated automated systems and refined our general grant decision and delivery systems. We eagerly await the assessmenl and publication of the project report in mid-2025, as it will guide our future strategies and ensure the most affective delivery of our aims. Flnancial revlow The resums for the year ended 31 M8rch 2024 are set out in the statement of financial activities on page 9, which the Trustees consider to be satisfactory. The Trustees consider the results to be acceptable with total income increasing to £188,182 (2023 £111,014), total expenditure increasing to £195,578 (2023 £147,096}, gains on investments were £50,668 (2023 - £341,877 loss) and the net movement in funds was an increase of £43,272 (2023 - £377,959 decrease). The principal source of income is the annual income from investments. The Trustees regularly review the organisational health of the charity to enable implementation of the charities aims. Reserves pollcy Reserves are needed to cover any immediate drop in income caused by external unforeseeable circumstances. It is the policy of the board of trustees to maintain unrestricted reserves at £50,000, being approximately six months of unrestricted support costs. Other unrestricted fund expenditure, including grant expenditure, is funded through drawing down capital from the expendable endowment, with the exception of goods and services for beneficiaries which is funded through dividend income.

REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Total reserves at 31 March 2024 were £2,992,681, this includes endowment funds of £2,866,044, and restricted funds of £48,940. This leaves unrestricted funds of £77,697, which the Trustees deem to be broadly in line with the resenies policy. Risk Management The truslees 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. Through our contractors BH Associates, we have facilitated the d&velopment of systems to identify risk and also undertaken training to enhance trustee awareness. The trustees consider the variabilty of investment returns on the pennanent endowment to constitute the charity's major financial risk and recent extreme volatility in world stock markets has demonstrated this risk. Our principal investment8 are through BlackRock and the trustees avail themselves of BlackRock's provision of investment presentations and activities to enhance their understanding of and ability to make decisions on the invested funds. The trustees take account of the outlook for investment returns and keep the level of awards under review. The Care Wellbeing and Inclusion Fund grants are managed by our service contractor who ensures close attention to minimising risks of overspend and inappropriate resource allocations, all under the oversight of the trustees, thus addressing those risks.

The trustees have an open recruitment policy, looking to enhance the charities abiltties by the recruitment of trustees with diverse experiences. This has proved essential given the average age of the founding trustees and the need to future proof the charity. A policy that new trustees seNe for an initial 12 months to ensure both parties are happy with the arrangement was introduced during the year and it is hoped that thi8 will provide a more appealing recruitment factor. The charity has in place a series of Policy statements, Documents and registers ensuring full compliance with all Charty Commission guidance on charity management. This portfolio of documentation is also subject to regular review and throughout the year actions have been taken, where required, to ensure the charity compliance ability is fully achieved, On appointment new trustees sign a model truslee declaration statement committing them to give their time and expertise.

Re6pon$lbilitles of trustèe8 As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as Ihe trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the ¢harity's ability lo continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo liquidale the charity or to ¢ease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltorfs r•sponslbllltle8 for tho audlt of tho finan¢lal 8tatsments We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that act. Our objectives are to oblain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audilorfs report that in¢ludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is nol a guarantee that an audil conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Mis51atements can arise from fraud OT error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basls of these financial statement8. Irregularilies, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We d8sign procedures in line with our responsibilities, oullined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularitiès, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are Capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Extent to whlch tho audlt was ¢on•idored capable of detsctlng Irregularfties We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perfomi audit pro¢edures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that Is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. However, responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud ultimately rests with bolh those charged with governance and management of the charity. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement In ￿SpeCt of irregulaTilies, including fraud and non- compliance wilh laws and regulalions, our procedures included the following.. obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity by considering the nature of the industry in which the charity operates and enquiring of management., and identifying the key laws and regulalions considered to have a direct impact on the financial statements inciuding the UK Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice,. and assessing how the charity is complying with the applicable legal and regulatory framework by making further enquiries of management and obseNng the Company's control environment regarding compliance with regulations and fraud prevention., and assessing the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatemenl, including how fraud might occur, by considering the effecliveness of the charity's accounting systems and controls and how these were monitored by management. ￿ere the risk of material misstatement was considered to be higher in certain areas, further audit procedures were designed to address this increased risk- and discussing amongst the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. ## **NUCLEAR COMMUNITY CHARITY FUND** ## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF NUCLEAR COMMUNITY CHARITY FUND** ## **Audit response to risks of irregularities identified** Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: - performing audit work over revenue recognition including analytical procedures on revenue transactions; and - reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and - enquiry of charity staff responsible for compliance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and - enquiry of management, those charged with governance and other relevant parties around actual and potential litigation claims; and - reviewing supporting documentation regarding actual and potential litigation claims; and - reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and - performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and - communicating identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and assessing whether there are any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditors-responsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. ## **Use of our report** This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ## **Newby Castleman LLP** 23 December 2024 Chartered Accountants Statutory Auditor West Walk Building 110 Regent Road Leicester LE1 7LT Newby Castleman LLP is eligible to act as an auditor in terms of section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006. - 8 - Oocusign Envelope ID.. 88CCF9c1_AF5￿OA&Bl8￿92692BD1sAFc NUCLEAR COMMUNITY CHARITY FUND STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Unrestrictsd Restricted Endowment funds funds funds 2024 2024 2024 Total Total 2024 2023 Notes Incomo from: Donations Charitable activities Investment5 18 18 70.000 118,164 70,000 118,164 111,009 Total 118,182 70,000 188,182 111,014 Expendlturo on: Charitable activities 174,518 21,060 195,578 147,096 Total 174,518 21,060 195,578 147,096 Not gainsl{losses) on investment$ 12 50,668 50.668 (341,877) Net lexpendlturolllncome {56,336) 48,940 50,688 43,272 {377,9591 Transfers be￿een funds 16 55,034 (55,034) Net movemont In fund• (1,302) 48,940 (4,366) 43,272 (377,959) Recon¢lllatlon of funds Total fvnds brought forward 78,999 2,870,410 2,949,409 3.327,368 Total fund8 ¢arrlod forward 77,697 48,940 2,866,044 2,992,681 2,949,409 The stalement of financial activities includes all gains and losses recognised in the year.
