The KindLink Foundation has continued to provide free fundraising and database software to more than 4,500 charities, allowing them to raise funds over 2.5 million via the KindLink online platform. The trustees have focussed their work on two main areas of activity –
-
Ensuring continuous support to UK charities through the provision of free online software. The number of new registered charities on the platform increased. This is a great achievement in a year of increased demand for funding.
-
The Foundation have developed a new fundraising product directly integrated with the existing features – a Contactless Fundraising App allowing charities to accept card donations at events via their phone.
-
A new subscription model was introduced for the CRM and fundraising platform to facilitate the distribution of the new Contactless Fundraising App. The KindLink Foundation still keeps over 90% of the platform features free of charge.
-
The Foundation collaborated with a charity support specialist who has already increased the number of supported charities on KindLink, attracted new and more engaged charities, and increased our grants payout volume by at least 30%.
Risk Management
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, reviewed, and revised the Risk Register and satisfied themselves that systems or procedures are established in order to manage those risks. The trustees will continue to monitor risks and to carry out an annual review. The charity has a Privacy Statement on its website and manages data in line with its Privacy Policy and the General Data Protection Regulation.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any
-
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Examiner
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025.
This report is made solely to the Charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility for anyone other than the Charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report or for the opinions I have formed.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. They consider that an audit is not required under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 act; have not been met; or
-
b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
