SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Small Acts of Kindness Trust for the year 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The objective of Small Acts of Kindness Trust is to find ways to prevent and alleviate loneliness and social isolation among older and vulnerable people in the communities we serve – particularly those who are cold in their homes. By doing so, we enable people to remain as independent and healthy as possible and can change their lives. Our work is made possible by the generosity and support of our partners and funders including statutory organisations, trusts and foundations, businesses, County and local councils and individuals.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
We work in partnership with over 150 organisations from the voluntary, corporate and statutory sectors and over 450 community volunteers. With their assistance, we source, pack and distribute practical gift bags and helpful information packs that can reduce the negative impact of loneliness and isolation on the physical and mental wellbeing of older and vulnerable people particularly those who are cold in their homes.
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
Our primary activity to achieve our objectives is sourcing, packing and distributing practical gift bags and helpful information packs to our recipients. Additionally, we engage local people to create opportunities for these gifts to be the catalyst for building new social connections within communities.
d. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit
We currently run two main projects - distributed free to older people throughout Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire:
-
Warm in Winter gift bags containing: a fleece blanket, thermal hat, gloves, socks, a mug, soup, porridge, hot drinks, Small Acts of Kindness pen and activity book.
-
Individual Christmas gifts distributed to older people who would otherwise be alone over the Christmas period.
Gift bags also contain a comprehensive pack of information about services and activities for older and vulnerable people.
The Charity also undertakes other projects which in the view of the Trustees fit with our aims and objectives. Examples of these include the partnership working projects noted below under Main Achievements of the Charity including:
-
2,500 Bags of Kindness in partnership with and funded by Hertfordshire County Council.
-
1,200 Warm in Winter gift bags for OPALS events in partnership with and part funded by Hertfordshire County Council
-
2,500 Here for You bags for Hertfordshire Library Services in partnership with and funded by HCC.

Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
Since the Charity began its work ten years ago, we have reached over 120,000 older and vulnerable people identified as being cold in their home or otherwise vulnerable in their communities. Recipients of Warm in Winter gift bags tell us that they:
-
Are warmer in their homes with the associated reduced risk of cold related illness or seasonal death.
-
Feel less lonely and isolated.
-
Have increased feelings of wellbeing.
-
Are better connected within their communities
The wider achievements of our work include:
-
Increased social connections between older people and other people within their communities
-
Signposting older and vulnerable people to available support
-
Enabling older people and vulnerable to feel empowered to take responsibility to make a difference within their communities
-
Raising awareness of and engagement in activities and services within communities for older and vulnerable people
-
Identifying hard to reach, often hidden older people to receive Small Acts of Kindness gift bags thus providing an intervention to those not engaging with other organisations
-
Bringing together community volunteers to create stronger, better-connected communities
During the year ended 31 December 2025, our achievements in the year were as follows –
-
Over 21,500 volunteer hours spent packing
-
Over 17,000 older and vulnerable people reached
-
12,000 Warm in Winter gift bags
-
14,500 Purple Pages Information Packs
-
2,500 Bags of Kindness
-
1,000 Christmas gifts

Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The unrestricted general funds, £68,207, or reserves, are the funds that are freely available to be used for the charity’s purposes. Reserves exclude restricted funds. The Trustees will continue to review the level of reserves appropriate to the charity.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
Small Acts of Kindness Trust is a registered charity, number 1178546, and is constituted under a Trust deed.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
c. Financial risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
The Trustees continue to plan for further expansion of the Charity's work as they have successfully done in each of the 10 years of our existence. Our aim remains to broaden our reach across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and (subject to growth in funding) to expand further to other counties in the UK. Looking ahead, we remain concerned about the negative impact that higher costs of living will bring for older and vulnerable people. We remain committed to doing everything that we can to respond to the changing and growing needs of vulnerable people in our communities.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. 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.

SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS TRUST
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Small Acts of Kindness Trust ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.
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. 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 an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. General information
The charity is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The registered office is shown on the information page of the financial statements.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Small Acts of Kindness Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Plant and machinery
33% On a straight line basis
2.6 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and 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.
2.7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.8 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.9 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
2.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
