Welcome from our Chair of Trustees

A big challenge for us and the wider further education sector this year was the discontinuation of the 16-19 Tuition Fund in August 2024, which provided vital tutoring support for post-16 students to achieve gateway English and maths qualifications. Despite this and wider financial challenges within the sector, providers confirmed their appetite for focussed English and maths support for young people, and in 2024/25 we continued to partner with FE providers across England and to secure partnerships to support our highest ever intake of students in 2025/26.

This ongoing work is being supported by generous contributions from eleven new funders and continued backing from seven of our existing supporters. We are deeply grateful to all our partners, funders, and supporters for sharing our belief that every young person deserves the chance to get further.

Welcome to Get Further’s Trustee Report and Financial Statement for the academic year 2024/25. This year marked the first year of delivery of our ambitious five-year strategy, A Vision of Excellence for Post-16 English and maths. Through this strategy, we are deepening and extending our ambitions to raise pass rates for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds undertaking gateway English and maths qualifications, setting a new standard for excellence on a national scale.

We are therefore proud to have sustained our record for enhancing outcomes for students retaking GCSE English and maths. Over the last four years, pass rates for resit students who attended a term or more of our tuition were 55% higher than the national average in GCSE maths and 72% higher than the national average in GCSE English. For both subjects, pass rates for students who met one or more disadvantage criteria were more than twice as high as the national average for students from disadvantaged backgrounds

Alongside this, we continued to explore and develop new ways of ensuring the right support is available to all. We expanded our level 2 Functional Skills offer for those undertaking apprenticeship programmes, forming new partnerships with providers where we supported apprentice Teaching Assistants, Early Years Practitioners, and Firefighters. We were also awarded a significant Department for Education Grant to expand our curriculum and training support to post-16 English and maths teachers across England.

I would like to thank everyone who has made this year of innovation, reflection, and development possible. Your dedication continues to drive our mission forward. If you are interested in partnering with us, supporting our work, or joining our passionate team, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Michele Sutton CBE Chair of Trustees

Driven by our commitment to evidence and impact, late in 2024 we confirmed an exciting new partnership with the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to conduct a large-scale national evaluation of our GCSE Resit Tuition Programme during 2025/26. This landmark trial - one of the first to assess the impact of tutoring in the 16-19 education phase - will enable us to reach more young people and generate robust insights into what works best for students undertaking English and maths in further education.

We also advocated for national policy changes to ensure all young people can achieve gateway qualifications that open up opportunities. Above all, we were pleased to see our recommendations for a genuine stepping stone to GCSE qualification echoed in the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper. As we head into 2026, we will remain committed to our campaign for a 16-19 Student Premium to ensure that ring-fenced funding for intervention support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds does not come to an abrupt halt at 16.

Our Values

As well as being driven by our 5-year strategy, our work at Get Further is guided by four values that sit at the heart of our organisation’s culture and underpin how we will achieve our mission and goals. At Get Further, we are...

Ambitious

We are ambitious for students who are yet to achieve gateway English and maths qualifications.

We are certain of the foundational importance of English and maths qualifications.

We aim to have both a tangible, positive impact on student outcomes at the grassroots – and a constructive influence at the national level across the further education sector.

Bold

We are bold and unafraid to go against the grain.

We revel in the underserved corners of the education system and are proud to be the first charity dedicated to supporting students in further education to secure gateway maths and English qualifications.

Optimistic

We are optimistic through setbacks, retaining a sense of possibility in the face of challenges.

Just as we encourage students to hold high expectations for themselves, we show optimism as we strive to achieve our ambitious goals. Our sense of possibility energises us.

We eagerly pursue opportunities to advance our mission and take risks, accepting that, despite our best efforts, they may not always work out how we intend. If something goes wrong, we rise to that challenge.

Tenacious

We are tenacious in our drive to achieve impact for the students we support.

Our unswerving belief in student potential drives us to think innovatively about how to push our impact to new heights. We monitor and evaluate our impact across every aspect of our work so that we can understand what is and isn’t working well and are eager to apply this knowledge.

We know continuous reflection takes work and can lead to difficult conversations, but we do this because we are unshakable in our pursuit of improvement.

Objectives and activities

The objectives of the organisation, as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are:

To advance education for the public benefit by providing people who are socially or economically disadvantaged with extra tuition in English and maths in order to help them succeed and through the provision of such other mentoring and support as deemed appropriate.

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)’.

For every young person and adult to achieve the gateway qualifications they need to progress and thrive in education, work, and life.

Get Further exists to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds in further education to secure gateway English and maths qualifications that unlock opportunities.

We do this because one in three students leave school each year without a standard pass (grade 4 or above) in GCSE English and maths, representing over 200,000 16-year-olds every year. This rises to over one in two for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.[1]

The scale of the challenge at age 16 extends into adulthood. An estimated 8.5 million workingage adults in England have low literacy and numeracy skills.[2]

Lacking gateway qualifications locks young people and adults out of education, training and employment opportunities, and is associated with poorer long-term outcomes for earnings, health and wellbeing. Without level 2 qualifications in English or maths:

Young people are

to be Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) the year they leave school.[3]

progress onto courses that are a higher level than GCSE the following year.[4]

Apprentices are

to drop out of their apprenticeship.[5]

Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are around

to be NEET compared to the national average.[6]

GATEWAY QUALIFICATION

A prerequisite for entry into a specific education or career pathway, providing the necessary foundational knowledge and skills to progress to the next level in a person’s educational or professional journey.

Each year, the Further Education sector supports thousands of young people and adults to keep building their literacy and numeracy skills and gain crucial qualifications that allow them to progress in education and employment.

This vital work takes place against a backdrop of chronic underfunding, with targeted Pupil Premium funding for supporting the attainment of disadvantaged students ending abruptly at age 16.

We are proud to be the only non-profit tutoring organisation working exclusively with the further education sector , helping our partners support a disproportionately disadvantaged cohort in gaining the qualifications they need to thrive in education, the workplace, and beyond.

Our programmes

To achieve our mission and make our vision a reality, we form partnerships with post-16 education providers, supporting students and staff through research-informed interventions for boosting English and maths outcomes. We have three main programmes:

Both of our tuition programmes include:

GCSE Resit Tuition

Highly qualified tutors , selectively recruited by us and trained by expert teachers to deliver impactful sessions and boost engagement and motivation among students.

This programme supports students retaking GCSE English or maths in further education by providing tailored, small-group tuition that complements classroom learning. Through weekly sessions following a carefully designed curriculum, it tackles the obstacles that hold back student progress – rebuilding confidence and closing key knowledge gaps to help students achieve the grades they need to progress to higher-level study, training, or employment.

A bespoke, fully-resourced curriculum , designed specifically for post-16 students by expert teachers, using insights from cognitive science.

A dedicated Programme Coordinator to oversee programme delivery, support tutor development and implement engagement strategies.

Functional Skills Tuition

Through this programme, we work in partnership with training providers, employers, and local authorities to help people build the English and maths skills they need to succeed in apprenticeships and their careers. Covering the full Functional Skills Level 2 curriculum, it can be delivered as a standalone offer or alongside existing provision to provide additional, targeted support. Flexible in design, the programme is ideal for young people and adults who have previously struggled to engage with English and maths education and would benefit from focused, in-depth tuition to achieve their goals.

CPD and Curriculum

As well as supporting students directly through our tuition programes, we support FE English and maths teachers to strengthen their delivery of GCSE and Functional Skills through our continuing professional development sessions and curriculum resources.

Rooted in the science of learning, our training and materials draw on evidence-based approaches to promote adaptive, ambitious, and high-impact teaching.

Our primary model is a year-long programme combining tailored workshops, highquality resources, guided reflection, and innovative technology to foster a consistent, collaborative, and impactful approach to teaching and learning across departments. We also offer flexible support options - including standalone sessions and bespoke packages - to meet the specific needs and budgets of our partners.

Once tutors join our pool, they receive ongoing support through our Tutor Academy – a professional development hub offering live webinars, seminars and self-study resources.

To further support our tutors, this year we reimagined our approach to tutor observations, introducing our innovative new Feedback and Reflection Cycle. Within this process, tutors work with a co-reviewer to identify which areas of development they want to focus on. Their co-reviewer visits their sessions and provides feedback and guidance 3 times a year. This approach shifts the focus of observations from proving competence to genuinely improving practice and fosters tutor agency over their development.

Our Tutors

A particular highlight was hosting our first in-person seminar, delivered by Arthur Moore, Professional Tutor of the Year winner, and Mark McCourt, teaching and pedagogy expert.

At Get Further, we are proud of the quality of our tutors and the support they provide. This year, we have made key enhancements to our tutor journey to better prepare them to inspire their students, deliver exceptional tuition sessions, and drive positive results - all while developing valuable teaching and professional skills that will benefit them throughout their careers.

To recognise our tutors’ dedication to professional development, we planted

Additionally, we piloted IRIS Connect, an innovative video recording platform that allows tutors to record their own sessions, reflect on their practice independently, and, if they choose, share recordings with peers or managers for additional feedback. This tool enhances self-directed learning and promotes a culture of continuous professional development. We look forward to further embedding this technology in 2025/26.

This year, we trained

In 2024-25 our tutors gave a Net Promoter Score of 70, indicating an outstanding level of satisfaction.

In 2024/25, our retention rate was higher than ever: 60% of tutors applied to work with us again.

Our latest impact analysis, which included data from 2021 to 2025, reveals that our work continues to have a substantial positive impact on the progress and attainment of the students we support.

Our achievements and impact in 2024/25

On our GCSE Resit Tuition Programme, students who attended a term or more of tuition (12+ sessions) achieved pass rates 55% higher than the national average in maths and 72% higher than the national average in English:

The year 2024/25 marked the first year of Get Further’s new five-year Strategy, which is underpinned by our strategic goal: To drive up pass rates for students from disadvantaged backgrounds undertaking gateway English and maths qualifications in further education, adult education and the apprenticeships sector, setting a new standard for excellence on a national scale.

Despite the end of the designated funding for tuition providers, Get Further continued to work with many further education partners, including five new partnerships with Hopwood Hall College in Manchester, South and City College Birmingham, Sandwell Colleges in Birmingham, Nottingham College and Brighton Metropolitan College to deliver our Resits Tuition Programme. We also formed new partnerships through our Functional Skills Tuition Programme, including Weston College, Merseyside Fire and Rescue and EduBase Academy.

Across the year we worked with our partners to navigate a series of funding and policy changes, including the end of the ringfenced 16-19 Tuition Fund. As an organisation, we had anticipated the impact of this moment, planning for a greater focus on evaluating and refining our programmes while operating at a smaller scale than the previous year.

We supported three education providers through our training for maths teachers and tutors. This included delivering six workshops for Functional Skills teachers at Juniper Training, training ten Aston University students who mentor GCSE students through our Science of Learning workshop, and equipping the team at Harrow, Richmond & Uxbridge Colleges (HRUC) with the resources and training to deliver an evidence-based, adaptive and ambitious curriculum.

We’re also pleased to share early insights into the impact of our Functional Skills Tuition Programme . Many of the students we support through this programme are those who have faced some of the steepest barriers to achieving English and maths qualifications, often entering with low prior attainment or after a significant period out of education. Through small-group tuition, our programme ensures these challenges don’t hold students back from progressing in apprenticeships or the workplace.

That’s why we’re delighted to share that pass rates for students on the programme were above the national average in both subjects: 16% higher in English and 3% higher in maths:

Alongside our core delivery of our programmes, Get Further made progress against the three strategic objectives and one operational objective that underpin our strategic goal:

To drive up pass rates for students from disadvantaged backgrounds undertaking gateway English and maths qualifications in further education, adult education, and the apprenticeships sector, setting a new standard for excellence on a national scale.

Key updates on progress made against our objectives are outlined on the following pages.

----- Start of picture text -----
GET FURTHER TRUSTEE REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2023/24
----- End of picture text -----

Objective 1

To improve quality across all our programmes, achieving pass rates significantly and consistently above the national average, raising the standard in post-16 English and maths education.

Our Curriculum Team led an ambitious review of our GCSE maths delivery, generating both short- and long-term recommendations to strengthen our resources, curriculum, assessment, and tutor training. The review found many strengths and recommended key developments across two main strands:

Resources, curriculum and assessment

Tutor training, development and profile

Our Impact Team used attendance, progress, and pass rate data to conduct a deep dive analysis of what makes the most effective Get Further tutor. These insights were used by our Recruitment and Programmes Teams to inform a series of targeted improvements to our tutor recruitment, training and development progresses, including:

We have already started to implement several of the identified developments with more planned across 2025/26.

24

Objective 2

To strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of all

our programmes, improving the volume, diversity, and integrity of our data so that we robustly establish our impact and enhance our work further.

We completed our largest digital development project, enabling us to move many key processes into the Salesforce system and has supported the tracking of key programme outcomes, driving improvements in our operational delivery and our data collection.

We completed our first external evaluations of our tuition programmes with ImpactEd Evaluation and arranged training for our team, focused on evaluation best practice.

In November 2024, we secured a partnership with the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and the University of Warwick to evaluate the impact of our GCSE Resit Tuition Programme during the 2025/26 academic year. This evaluation includes a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and an Implementation and Process Evaluation (IPE) and represents the largest study of its kind undertaken in the further education sector. By generating robust evidence on the impact of our programme and identifying what works best to support resit students, the evaluation provides an important opportunity to enhance our practice, demonstrate our value, and advocate for greater investment in this crucial phase of education.

Objective 3

To harness our impact to change national and regional policy and practice so that they more effectively benefit the students we support, and to ensure we can scale our work.

Get Further spearheaded the formation of the new 16–19 Student Premium Coalition, bringing together a growing group of organisations to make the case for targeted funding that would extend the existing pre16 Pupil Premium beyond secondary schools and support the attainment of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the final two years of their compulsory education. We compiled a joint spending review submission and will continue to collaboratively campaign for this funding.

In October 2024, we held an advocacy workshop to identify the priority policy changes we would focus on over the coming year. Our aim was to pinpoint the changes that would most benefit the students we support, while keeping demands on staff time manageable and maintaining a strong focus on programme delivery.

After submitting a proposal to the Curriculum and Assessment Review recommending the introduction of a GCSE stepping stone qualification for students with low prior attainment to support their progression onto the full GCSE, we engaged with the review panel across the year, and were delighted to have our recommendations included in the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper. By giving students with low prior attainment (grade 2 or below) sufficient time to consolidate essential knowledge and skills before resitting, these reforms promote a more equitable, evidence-based approach that we are optimistic will lead to improved post-16 GCSE outcomes nationwide.

In June 2025, we successfully secured a partnership with the Department for Education (DfE) to roll out our maths and English resources and continued professional development (CPD) training for maths and English teachers at 60 further education colleges across England. This will provide us with a valuable opportunity to have a positive, national influence on English and maths teaching practice in the FE sector.

26

Operational objective

To achieve long-term financial sustainability, through diversifying our income and becoming a more efficient and effective organisation.

We increased our philanthropic income through the generous support of several new philanthropic partners across 2024/25. Additionally, we invested in creating a designated fundraising team to continue growing this income stream further across 2025/26.

We made further developments to our Functional Skills Tuition programme, including forming four new partnerships.

We completed a board-wide review and skills assessment ahead of launching a new recruitment round, supporting our plans to strengthen and future-proof our board of trustees. In July 2025, we welcomed four new trustees - including a former tutee and a former tutor - who bring valuable skills and fresh expertise to the organisation.

The last quarter of the year was focused on growing and developing our team in preparation for the increased scale of delivery planned in 2025/26 during our evaluation with the EEF and the delivery of our Department for Education funded CPD programme. We are delighted that, as we move into 2025/26, we are now a 40-strong central team equipped to deliver the range of exciting projects we secured in 2024/25.

Financial Review

In line with our strategic and financial planning, we saw most of the charity’s income secured through our philanthropic income (72%). Get Further is incredibly grateful to the following grant and donation providers for the generous support they gave in 2024/25:

The total income for the year 2024/25 was

£1,627,941

This was made up of educational partner contributions, grants and donations. As we predicted, college sales were lower than 2023/24 due to most colleges opting for smaller programme sizes following the end of the 16-19 Tuition Fund in August 2024. Despite this, we secured 5 new partnerships in 2024/25 and 63% of our 24/25 partners are continuing to work with us in 2025/26

Fundraising

Going concern

The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and is committed to following the Code of Fundraising Practice and the Fundraising Promise.

In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements, the Board has considered the organisation’s financial activities, projected cash flow profile, unrestricted reserves, and strategy, as well as the risks to the Charity and the applicable controls.

In 2024/25 we worked with a fundraising consultant from ImpactEd Philanthropy to support the development of our fundraising infrastructure and to support our recruitment of our Head of Fundraising who joined us in September 2025.

The organisation’s business activities, financial performance and reserves position are reviewed quarterly by the Board. Based on these regular reviews, the Board is satisfied that the Charity has adequate resources to operate for the foreseeable future and considers it appropriate for the organisation to adopt a going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

The Charity received no complaints during the year regarding its fundraising activities. Any fundraising activities undertaken by the Charity are done so in accordance with the Charity’s safeguarding policies, as required, to protect any vulnerable donors.

Risk management

The Trustees and Executive Leadership Team are responsible for risk management and have an active process in place to assess principal risks and implement appropriate strategies. This involves identifying types of risks, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood, and identifying the means of mitigating such risks. Whilst risk management strategies cannot offer absolute assurance against all forms of loss or damage, the Trustees are satisfied that the measures deployed mitigate exposure to the most significant risks. The Executive Leadership Team review risks monthly, identifying new and additional risks, implementing mitigation measures, and updating the risk register. The risk register is then presented for discussion at the quarterly Finance and Risk Sub-Committee, it is included with all board packs for all Trustees and is a main agenda item for at least one Board Meeting each year.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Get Further Ltd.

OPINION

BASIS FOR OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Get Further Ltd (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements:

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING

CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Get Further Ltd. (continued).

OTHER INFORMATION

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors’ Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities

(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to industry sector regulations and unethical and prohibited business practices, and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We

also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Charity Commission and sector regulations, and UK Tax Legislation. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Appropriate audit procedures in response to these risks were carried out. These procedures included:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members; and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not

detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors’ Report.

USE OF OUR REPORT

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors’ Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. General information

Get Further Ltd is a charitable company registered in England and Wales. The registered office is 2nd Floor The Brewery Building, 55-61 Brewery Road, London, N7 9QH.

The activities of the Charity are set out in the Trustees' Report.

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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Get Further Ltd 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.

Accounts are prepared in Sterling, the functional currency of the Charity, and rounded to the nearest £.

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.

2.2 Fund accounting

The notes on pages 26 to 43 form part of these financial statements

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.

2.3 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, including an assessment of the future plans of the Charity and future income, and after conducted various scenario planning and modelling as part of the budgets and forecasts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees do not believe that there is a material uncertainty regarding the going concern status of the Charity and continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 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 when the above recognition criteria have been met together with any performance conditions attached to the grants. 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.

Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the Charity's accounting policies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

Amortisation is provided on the following basis:

Development expenditure - % not yet amortised as not in use

2.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

2.5 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. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

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:

Computer equipment - 25%

2.9 Debtors

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

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.

2.6 Taxation

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.

2.10 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.

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

2.11 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.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2.12 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.

2.13 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.14 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.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. No estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year have been identified.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Income recognition: the Charity receives income from contracts and performance grants. These agreements include various quantitative and qualitative milestones and performance conditions to be met in order for the Charity to have entitlement to the funds. The Charity makes various assumptions in determining the stage of completion of these contracts and performance grants.
