REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The purpose of The Roots Foundation Wales as set out in its governing document is to support young people in care, transitioning out of care and their carers.
We provide activities and learning opportunities that are fun, developmental and supportive both after school and in holiday time for young people aged 4-18 to support them to develop and grow and learn to live independently once they leave the care systems. Activities include on site workshops, youth groups and activities as well as offsite trips and visits. Up to four young people aged 16-18 live onsite in independent units and learn independent living skills and receive 1:1 support from qualified youth workers.
The trustees have read and understood the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Significant activities
The Roots Foundation Wales provides activities and learning opportunities that are fun, developmental and supportive both after school and in holiday time for young people aged 4-18 to support them to develop and grow and learn to live independently once they leave the care systems.
During the year we ran activities and workshops and youth clubs for 50+ young people aged 4-18, offering them opportunities to spend time in a safe and supportive environment and to interact with trusted trained adults. This has enabled them to have fun, learn new skills and build confidence as well as finding other young people with shared lived experience for them to connect with.
This year we have continued to grow our Carer's Support Network, reaching between 20 and 30 carers in this time. We have provided coffee mornings and learning events for carers of different backgrounds, including Kinship Carers, Special Guardians and Professional Foster Carers. We have also extended our youth provision to include intergenerational activities involving carers and younger children aged between 4 and 11 years of age. We aim to grow this area of our work in the coming year.
Additionally, within the last year we have acquired a new property to enable the delivery of further supported accommodation provision for 16-18 year old care leavers. This development has the potential to increase our turnover significantly in the coming years. We will be investigating funding opportunities in order to complete a refurbishment of this property so that it can be made ready for care leavers.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the year the charity recorded a deficit of £45,251 (2024: £41,476 surplus).
As at 31 July 2025 the charity held unrestricted reserves of £217,922 (2024: £241,567) and restricted reserves totalling £43,830 (2024: £651,436).
Principal funding sources
The charity's main source of funds is received through a contract with the City and County of Swansea council to provide accommodation and support to young people ages 16-18. This is not an exclusive arrangement and other Local Authorities are able to refer young people to our services.
It also received independent grants and funds from other organisations.
Reserves policy
The trustees agree that reserves of 3 months running costs should be held to ensure continuity in times of financial hardship. The trustees consider that £70,000 is adequate to cover this.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, and constitutes a charitable incorporation organisation (CIO).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROOTS FOUNDATION WALES
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Roots Foundation Wales
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Roots Foundation Wales (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Government and other grants in relation to tangible fixed asset are credited to profit and loss account over the useful lives of the related assets, whereas those in relation to expenditure are credited when the expenditure is charged to profit and loss.
Donations, are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Accommodation income is recognised in the period to which it relates.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Plant and machinery | - | 25% on cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 25% on cost |
| Computer equipment | - | 25% on cost |
Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash 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 and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
