18| **THE EIGHT FOUNDATION** **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025** The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The trustees have carefully considered the Public Benefit Guidance issued by the Charity Commission and we are satisfied that the charity meets these requirements both in its objects and by furtherance of those objectives in the day to day undertaking of its charitable activities. ## **Significant activities** The trustees follow with interest the activities and progress of those organisations which have been provided with funding by the charity. During the year under review the trustees received around 22 applications for grants from UK registered charities and individuals. The trustees were satisfied in all cases that the grants made provided a suitable public benefit in accordance with the objects of the charity. The charity's objectives are to make grants for charitable purposes to other charities and individuals. These wide ranging objectives enable the charity to make grants to a similarly wide range or recipient charitable organisations throughout the UK. The grants made by the trustees are generally unrestricted. During the year under review grants were made to charities concerned with mental health, education, health and poverty and others generally vulnerable in society The charity's costs are modest, comprising general administration and accountancy services. ## **Grant Making** The charity receives applications for funding from other charities and individuals which are discussed at the meetings of trustees. The trustees agree the amount of income available for distribution and on the individual amounts of grants to be paid to successful applicant organisations. Page 1 **THE EIGHT FOUNDATION** **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Lapland Christmas Giving** Through our grant of £4,383, we were able to give eight families facing immense challenges including terminal illness, disabilities, vulnerability, and poverty a truly magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience at Lapland UK. The joy, wonder, and precious memories created were unforgettable, giving these families moments of happiness and connection that would have otherwise been impossible. The feedback we received was overwhelming, with parents describing the experience as life-affirming and deeply moving. The impact of this gift goes far beyond the trip itself, leaving lasting memories and hope for the future. We are delighted to announce that we will be repeating this initiative in 2026, continuing to bring joy and magic to more families in need. ## **James** Through a grant of £4,900, The Eight Foundation was able to provide life-changing equipment for James, who lives with cerebral palsy. We purchased a specially adapted bike, giving James the ability to stay active, keep fit, and improve his overall health benefits that have a profound impact on his condition and quality of life. Seeing James on this bike, smiling and enjoying the independence it brings, has been truly inspiring. This support has not only enhanced his physical wellbeing but has also opened up new opportunities for confidence, freedom, and joy a transformative gift that will positively affect James every day. We are proud to have been able to support James in this way, and we are deeply privileged to be part of Jame's journey. ## **Ben** After seeing the incredible difference support can make, The Eight Foundation was introduced to Ben, and we were thrilled to fund a year of private speech therapy for him at a cost of £3240. This support has been truly life-changing, enabling Ben to find his voice, communicate confidently, and gain independence with his family and peers. The progress he has made has not only opened up new opportunities for learning and social connection but has also brought joy, confidence, and a renewed sense of self to Ben and those around him. Witnessing the positive impact of this support has been inspiring a powerful reminder of how targeted, compassionate intervention can transform a life. ## **GDPR** In order to comply with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) we continue to revise our general privacy policy to cover the personal information of subscribers, we have also introduced a new social media policy to protect those who we support. Both of these policies are available on our website. Page 2 **THE EIGHT FOUNDATION** **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Fundraising** We have had huge success with donations and grants from: - Staff of Eight Wealth Management via payroll monthly giving - Fundraising matching - Collection boxes - Auctions/Raffles - Fundraising events - Donations - Easy Fundraising In pursuit of securing future income the Foundation are continuing to look at developing relationships with cooperation's for sponsorship and to act as patrons. We will continue to host an annual fundraising ball and Golf Day. We will continue to review our policies and procedures to support the successful operation of the Foundations activities. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** During the period to 30 June 2025 the Foundation raised income of £143,135 (2024: £183,539) and incurred total expenses of £154,076 (2024: £166,932) as detailed on page 12 and 13 of the report. At 30 June 2025 the Foundation had reserves of £29,212 (2024: £40,153). ## **Risk Policy** The charity's trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have satisfied themselves that systems and procedures have been established in order to manage these risks. The trustees keep risk levels and controls under review on a bi-annual basis. ## **Reserves policy** The trustees have approved a reserve policy to ensure that the charity has, at all times, adequate reserves to meet its liabilities to comply with legislative and accounting requirements. The policy also requires that the trustees can identify and make provisions for future expenditure needs for the proper and continued running of operations. This also includes the initial costs of any planned fundraising activities. The trustees anticipate that £10,000 is sufficient for meeting these objectives. The objective of the charity is to issue grants so that the reserves should not exceed the equivalent of the charity's projected income for the following two years. Page 3 **THE EIGHT FOUNDATION** **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025** ## **FUTURE PLANS** The Trustees will continue to hold quarterly meetings to discuss grant applications, review the income and expenditure of the Foundation and the management of the charity generally. In addition, they will review the investment income available for making future grants in accordance with the Foundations objectives. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The Foundation is a registered charity, number 1174600, governed by the trust deed dated 4th July 2017. The foundation was established in July 2017 with a mission to support local charities through grants who need donations in order to survive, and to provide services within their local community.

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: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. 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.
