Ob"ectives and activities The charity'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.. (1 } 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, their families 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 othe￿iSe in deserving cases of need of any of the identified beneficiaries. {4} To gather and preserve the heritage of the experiences of the members of the British Nuclear SuNivor 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 Community. (6) To work in support of the benefit of the members of the British 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 ICHRCI 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 goods and services to address those issues unaddressed by the State. Communications activities 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.

REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Adopting this approach has seen the NCCF increase its support across the beneficiary community following the continuation of the Community Care Check Pilot, funded by a £70k ￿0-year grant from the Office for Veterans Affairs. Public Benefit In formulating 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 ServI￿S for beneficiaries, and community outreach lin particular communications and remembrance). Achievements 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 role 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 Community Interest Company, preserving the unique heritage of our beneficiary community. While the number of General Grant applications remained steady, the impact of the continued Community Care Check Pilot maintained the significant increase of grants made under the scheme, as evidenced in the previous financial year. This proactive approach demonstrates OLbr commitment to enhancing our services and meeting the needs of our community. The trustees have continued to develop their abilities and contributions to the charity, ensuring the organisation maintains its ability to deliver against its 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 assessment and publication of the project report in mid-2025, as it will guide our future strategies and ensure the most effective delivery of our aims. Financial review The results for the year ended 31 March 2025 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 decreasing to £77,115 (2024 £188,182), total expenditure increasing to £301,170 12024 £195,578), losses on investments were £90,385 {2024 - £50,668 gain) and the net movement in funds was decrease of £314,44012024 - £43,272 increase). 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 policy ReseNes 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 2025 Total reserves at 31 March 2025 were £2,678,241, this includes endowment funds of £2,561,304, and unrestricted funds of £116,937, which the Trustees deem to be in line with the reserves policy. 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. Through our contractors BH Associates, we have facilitated the development of systems to identify risk and also undertaken training to enhance trustee awareness. The trustees consider the variability of investment returns on the permanent endowment to constitute the charity's major financial risk and recent extreme volatility in world stock markets has demonstrated this risk. Our principal investments 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. Structure overnance and mana ement The Nuclear Community Charity Fund {NCCF) is a Foundation basis Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered charity number 1173544 governed by its constitution of April 2017 as amended in May 2018. The NCCF was established by funding received from HM Treasury by way ofgrant under the Aged Veterans Fund.

REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees and seNe for an initial probationary 12 months after which their appointment may be confirmed resulting in a further two-year appointment after which they may put themselves fotward for re-appointment. Trustees who have already served for a minimum period of two years may put themselves foNard for further three-year appointments. The NCCF Constitution provides for a minimum of 3 trustees. At the Annual General Meeting, the trustees agree on the broad strategy and areas of activity for the CIO, including consideration of grant-making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance for the forthcoming year. In be￿een AGM'S the Trustees communicate via secure on-line discussion groups and prearranged video conferences to discuss and resolve and key decisions requiring a timely reaction. The day-to-day administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the relevant subcommittee is delegated to the Chairman who uses the services of our retained contractor to perform all daily activities. A Grant Panel drawn from the body of trustees, conduct reviews of applications for support via physical meeting or on-line discussion to ensure they fulfil the relevant criteria and make recommendations as to the funding. The Grant Panel also consider the monitoring information concerning the performance of grants to date and make recommendations to the trustees concerning the extension, cessation or suspension of existing grant approvals. The trustees have an open recruitment policy, looking to enhance the charities abilities 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 serve for an initial 12 months to ensure both parties are happy with the arrangement was Introduced during the year and it is hoped that this 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 Charity 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 trustee declaration statement committing them to give their time and expertise. They also complete the requisite Anti-money Laundering checks and make the various COIIROI and Related Party disclosures. They receive access to the confidential charity intranet where they can access all governance resources including., A brief history of the NCCF, Trustee board and any sub- committee minutes, All Annual Reports and Accounts, Constitution and copies of the Charity Commission's guidance 'The Essential Trustee.. What You Need to Know, and 'Charities and Public Benefit,, All other policy and guidance documentation issued by the charity and any other Charity Commission guidance that the Trustees feel they need greater awareness of. A basic trustee competency training package has been piloted to enable trustees to obtain a certificate of competence in their legal responsibilities under UK charities legislation and we intend to further develop this facility in the future enhancing the abilities of our trustees. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and conflicts, registering them with the Chairman. In accord with NCCF policy individual trustees will withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest or a conflict of responsibility may arise. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding-up.

The financial reporting framewotk that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended., have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. Basis for opinion We conducted our audil in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS {UK}) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilib'es for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements Ihat are relevanl to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including ihe FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Concluslons relatlng to golng concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubl on the charily's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our r8sponsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. other information The other informalion comprises the information included in the trustees, report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Docusign Envelope ID.. E38C7550-A67F4261-B663-F950C8781AF1 NUCLEAR COMMUNITY CHARITY FUND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUED> TO THE TRUSTEES OF NUCLEAR COMMUNITY CHARITY FUND Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports} Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: the infomiation given in the financial stalements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees, report., or the charity has not kept adequate accounting records-, or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or we have not re￿iVed all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the trustees are responsible for Ihe preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the 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 charity's ability to 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 to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltorfs responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements 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 lo 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 an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance th ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or 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 basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, oullined above, to detect malerial misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to 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 both those charged with governance and management of the charity. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following.. obtaining an understanding of Ihe legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity by considering the nature of the industry in which the charily operates and enquiring of managemenl., and identifying the key laws and regulations considered to have a direct impact on the financial statements including the UK Charities Act 2011 and UK GenerallyAccepted Accounting Practice., and assessing how the charity is complying wilh Ihe applicable legal and regulatory framework by making further enquiries of management and observing the company's control environment regarding compliance with regulations and fraud prevention., and assessing the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misslatement, including how fraud might occur, by considering the effectiveness of the charity's accounting systems and controls and how these were monitored by management. Where the risk of material misstatement was considered to be higher in certain areas, further audil 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** 26 January 2026 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 - Docusign Envelope ID..
