NAZ LEGACY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 1 September 2025.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
The trustees were appointed in April 2019, when Naz Legacy first registered with the Charity Commission for three years and were selected due to their personal relationship with Naz Bokhari OBE and commitment to the Naz Legacy Foundation since 2012.
Three new trustees were appointed by the Board in December 2021. Selection was based on their skill set and their previous work with the Foundation.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Naz Legacy Foundation is a UK-based charity which seeks to promote excellence in education and positive integration into British society. The Foundation was established to continue the legacy of the late Naz Bokhari OBE. This Foundation has been set up by his family who wish to honour his life and good work. It hopes that like him, by promoting excellence in education and positively integrating in British society, we can all make an impact.
The Foundation has the mission of raising aspirations and promoting positive integration, which is enacted through programmes for public benefit.
Diversity Programme
The Diversity Programme provides a series of educational and cultural enrichment opportunities for young people from disadvantaged and minority backgrounds, including opportunities to learn about the rich heritage of diverse role models in Britain. The Programme aims to make young people aware of the positive contributions they can make to society.
Naz Bokhari Fellowship
A mentoring programme delivered to one young person at Ernest Bevin Secondary school in Tooting, where Naz had his headship.
Muslim Teachers Association (MTA)The Foundation is incubating the MTA within the charity. The MTA was founded by Naz Bokhari over 40 years ago and the charity will support its relaunch.
Grant-Making Approach
A key tool by which the trustees will further the Foundation's Purpose is through the provision of small monetary grants to winners of the Naz Bokhari Fellowship.
Eligibility
All students at participating schools or colleges are eligible for consideration for a grant as part of the Award determination process. The Award will be used to support a student from the participating school or college who has:
-
Recently completed their A-level/college studies
-
Secured a place at university
-
Are required to take a loan for their tuition fees
-
Hard work, resilience and perseverance
-
Overcoming challenges and obstacles
-
Supporting wider society and a commitment to integration

Selection process
The Award will recognise those students who have exemplified the values of Naz Bokhari and the Foundation.
Selection based on the above criteria is delegated to staff at participating schools/colleges on the basis that they know their students best. The Foundation ensures that the school staff involved in the selection process fully understand the criteria to be applied in the selection process and will ensure that such have been applied before confirming any Award, including the allocation of the funds.
Monitoring and Publication
It is the policy of the Trustees to monitor all grants made.
Recipients must be informed that the grant must be used for legitimate expenditure related to their academic and/or career aspirations. The Foundation will work with Award winners, as part of the wider support package, to help the recipients to use the funds to best effect to further their long-term aims. Recipients are required to report on how they have used the funds and how the financial support has helped them achieve their long-term aims. The Trustees also expect to receive copies of any published articles, papers or other outputs.
Contribution made by volunteers
The Foundation has been supported by its volunteers from its inception in 2012. The Foundation relies volunteers to support the events the charity organises throughout the year.
We have a number of volunteers who support in the delivery of our Diversity Days and Interfaith events.
Achievements and Performance
Diversity Programme
Our 2024/25 Diversity Programme began with a Diversity Day at Wimbledon, where 30 Year 10 students had the opportunity to explore the behind-the-scenes operations of such a prestigious championship and gain insight into the business of Wimbledon.
This was followed by a Diversity Day at Norton Rose Fulbright, where participants learned about career opportunities within the firm, received guidance on building a strong profile for recruitment, and had the chance to network with staff, gaining valuable insight into life at NRF.
This year we have also hosted Diversity Days at:
-
FA, Wembley Stadium
-
Royal Navy
-
Shakespeare's Globe
-
Bush Theatre
-
Amazon
-
Tower of London
-

-
University of Warwick
-

-

The Diversity Programme also provided a series of workshops on challenging hate and the importance of community building and civic participation as methods to achieve this – in increasingly polarised times it is crucial that conversations with young people on these topics continue.
The Diversity Programme engaged with 836 students.
The evaluation from beginning to end of the Diversity Programme produced the following key findings:
-
The Diversity Days were able to provide new opportunities for 92% of the students.
-
91% of the students agreed or strongly agreed that they were more informed about careers and opportunities available to them through the Diversity Days than they had been before the experience .
-
88% of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the workshops were inspiring.
-
77% of the students felt that the Diversity Days were sufficiently interesting to encourage them to want to know or find out more about the opportunities or histories presented to them.
-
71% of the students agreed or strongly agreed that attending the Diversity Days encouraged them to be more interested in pursuing careers or educational pathways that were presented to them.
-
Overall, 92% of the students agreed or strongly agreed that the workshops improved their knowledge and understanding of the topic covered.
Work Experience
Work experience placements were carried out with Historic Royal Palace who hosted ten students at The Kensington Palace.
In the past 12 months, the Foundation has made great strides towards its objectives. The Foundation has focussed on raising aspiration amongst young people through its Diversity Programme and has encouraged positive integration via work experience placements and the Diversity Programme.

The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works.
Trustees have delegated the running of the Foundation to the executive made up of three full time members of staff.
Whilst trustees oversee the governance and finances of the Charity, the executive has been given the responsibility to look after the day to day running of the Foundation.
Page 3
The Charity is in a reasonably good position currently, however, the biggest risk to the charity is the longterm impact of the economic uncertainty of the country. Staffing and turnover of staff is also a risk.
The charity has previously been dependent on philanthropic donations; however, the charity has increased its applications for grants and has also received a number of grants which has helped us diversify our income.
Financial review
The charity is in a stable financial position. The charity has a four month reserve to ensure it is able to cover core costs and reassess its financial and organisational future. The charity holds a reserve of £58,000
The main source of funding for the charity in 2024/2025 was through charitable donations and grants to support the Foundation's programme.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 01 SEPTEMBER 2025
1. Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.
1.2 Income from donations or grants
Income from donations and grants is recognised when the charity is entitled to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations, this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal o'er is made in writing. If a donation or grant contains terms and conditions outside of the charity’s control which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds, or if the donor specifies that the funds must be used in future time periods, then the income is deferred.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be estimated reliably. It is inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered.
Direct costs are those costs which directly attribute to its activities. Wages and salaries are allocated to direct costs based on an estimate of time spent on charitable activities by staff members. Support costs include staff costs and are those which do not produce a direct output. Staff costs relate to specific activities and this is reflected in the allocation of payroll costs based on the percentage of time spent.
All costs, including governance costs, are allocated between the expenditure categories of the charity on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are charged directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
1.4 Pensions
The Charity makes contributions to defined contribution pension schemes through auto enrolment. These contributions are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year in which they become payable.
1.5 Taxation
The organisation is a registered charity and has no liability to income tax or corporation tax on its charitable activities during the year.
1.6 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are those 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.
Page 8
----- Start of picture text -----
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.
1.7 Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are non-monetary fixed assets that do not have physical substance but are
identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. Intangible fixed assets
include goodwill purchased on the acquisition of a business and/or purchased intangible assets such
as concessions, patents, licences, trademarks and similar rights. Although such assets lack physical
substance they provide an on-going economic benefit to the charity.
Intangible fixed assets are capitalised and included at cost and have been amortised on a straight-line
(or a more appropriate systematic) basis over their estimated useful economic life of 4 years.
1.8 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets, such as land and buildings, plant, vehicles and equipment, are held to provide
an on-going economic benefit to a charity through their contribution, directly or indirectly, to the
provision of goods or services by the charity.
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and
any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or
valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the
following basis:
