## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.
## **Trustee's report and financial statements**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects aims**
The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects (EJFP) was established in 2020 after The Emily Jordan Foundation (EJF), its sister charity that was started in 2008 and based in Kidderminster, partnered with Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC) in a lottery bid for monies to be spent on Stevens Park, Quarry Bank, West Midlands. The Council were aware of what EJF were doing to support people with learning disabilities in Kidderminster, especially for skills development, and wanted the charity to offer the same good quality support for this group in the Dudley area, by offering similar projects to those already running successfully.
This bid was successful in 2019, when £1.4 million was granted from the Heritage Lottery Fund. This was combined with £400k from the Council and £28k from EJF. The monies were spent on the park itself, with new paths and refurbishment to its structures and furniture, plus the complete rebuild of a Victorian House on the park to a design that was agreed by Chris Jordan and Ruth Krivosic, EJF CEO. This rebuild was to enable the charities’ projects to be operated from the building.
The new Charity, The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects, was established in 2020 to enable complete financial separation from The Emily Jordan Foundation. However, EJF has funded the new Charity with a grant of £28k for its start-up period, as allowed within its constitution.
The rebuild and park site for the Twigs project was eventually finished in June 2021, with The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects starting at the building in July.
The aims of The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects are the same as its sister Charity, The Emily Jordan Foundation:
To support people with learning disabilities to lead fulfilled lives.
## **The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects**
To achieve its aims, the new charity started three separate work-based projects, based on those already successfully run in Kidderminster. These activities are undertaken to achieve our objectives. A description of the projects and their development during the financial period includes:
## Spokes
This is a bike project, where the Trainees with learning disabilities are supported to develop the skills to rebuild second hand bikes, that have been donated by the public. They also are involved in bike repair for the local community. They do this with support from both staff and volunteers, learning new skills that will be of use to them when trying to move into the workplace, if suitable. The volunteers who work with our trainees do an amazing job, with many of them from an engineering background. We have attracted some very good people to this new project over the past three years from the local community.
Spokes is now running at a very high-capacity level and is starting to make a positive mark in the local area. Also, the first group of Trainees will shortly be starting their National qualifications, as happens at the Spokes Kidderminster operation.
## Twigs
This is a horticultural project, where trainees with learning disabilities are supported to develop skills within a garden centre environment. They are involved from start to finish; planting plugs, watering and maintaining plants as they
Page 2 of 15
grow, and then being involved with the sales of these to the public. The new site is based in a separate area on the park, which is now fully operational after the initial delays.
Twigs is running at a very high capacity for several days in the week, and we are working on how to be able to expand the operation further. A container will be added to the site in the Autumn, to enable breaks and lunch to take place on the site, so that individuals will not have to go back to the main building. This will allow better use of space.
## Go Green
This is our recycling project, where people with more complex needs carry out a variety of recycling involving cans, glasses, and a variety of plastic material. They are also involved in light manufacturing projects, which are enjoyed by all. The future of this project includes art and crafts, as takes place in Kidderminster. This project is also now fully operational.
In addition, this year a new project, Create, has been started. This has been a great success. The people with more complex needs who come to us are encouraged, with support, to develop their art skills. We have discovered some amazing artists in the group! Our first Art Exhibition in April sold out. This is now going to become an annual event.
We would like to thank our incredible staff for the work that has been done to develop this and other new ideas. It is having an amazing positive effect on the group of people who come to us – long may it continue!
## GroundworX
We started this project in Kidderminster at The Emily Jordan Foundation 5 years ago, with the aim of gaining ground maintenance and other contracts, and from the monies received we would be able to pay the people with moderate learning disabilities who do the work. We are now starting this project at Quarry Bank, to be able to do the same in the Black Country.
This project has proved to be very successful and continues to move forward, supplying genuine work to people with moderate learning disabilities. This Project is however being directly affected by the Labour Government policy of raising minimum wage continually and increasing NI contributions. This policy makes the running of this project very difficult, as we must continually go back to our customers to try and get increases on the work we do, to ensure that we do not lose money. The Labour Government talk about helping ‘working people’, but in fact they are making things more difficult!
But we will battle on. The people with moderate learning disabilities who come to the Foundation are earning some money themselves, which makes a huge difference to their lives. Their self-esteem is dramatically improved – a winwin for everyone!
A new reading project has been started this year, to support people to develop their reading skills. There is no funding for this – it is something that we have developed ourselves as it is a vital skill if any of our Trainees are eventually going to be able to enter the workplace. This will reported on again next year, as there are plans to develop this significantly.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Review of Trading year July 2024 - 2025**
With all the Projects now running well, EJFP has started to recover from its early loss-making years. The emergency borrowing that was made from its sister Charity, The Emily Jordan Foundation, has now been repaid. All monies that are realised going forward will be reinvested into the projects that the Charity operates, to develop these further. There is a lot we can do to make our offering to people with learning disabilities better and this is what we intend to do.
## **Thank you**
We would like to say a huge thank you to all our staff and volunteers, who have worked so hard through some very difficult times. This hard work is now starting to show results, with all the projects we run showing significant development. The Trainees that now come to the projects have a great day’s experience and all are learning new skills whilst socialising and enjoying themselves. The numbers of Trainees are growing steadily, through a mixture of ‘word of mouth’ and direct contact with schools and colleges in the area.
We look forward positively to next year!
## **Financial review**
**Going concern**
Page 3 of 15
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company 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.
## **Reserves policy**
The Charity Trustees have agreed to maintain a reserve of £20k, to allow for any drop in revenue and to enable an orderly wind down of projects if necessary. This money can only be spent on this taking place. The remainder of funds available can be utilised to enable the aims of the Charity to be achieved.
## **Financial**
Net movement in the funds during the year totalled to £49,674 (2024: £14,102). At the end of the financial year, Unrestricted funds totalled to £75,556 (2024: £25,651) and Restricted funds totalled to £25,773 (2024: £26,005).
## **Structure, governance and management**

## **Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
## **Plans for future periods**
The current financial year has brought challenges, as reported above.
However, the Charity will continue to move forward with its aims over the next 12 months.
## **Trustees**
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Christopher Jordan Joy Round Sarah Jordan David Charles Lynch Etherington Anne Jefferies Jeremy Jordan
## **Trustee's responsibilities statement**
The trustees, who are also the directors of Charity For The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects Limited for the purpose of company law, 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).
Company Law 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 the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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
Page 4 of 15
Companies Act 2006. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects Limited
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025 which consists of the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and the related notes
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act')
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of AAT.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.

## **THE EMILY JORDAN FOUNDATION PROJECTS LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
## **1. Accounting Policies**
The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects Limited is a company limited by guarantee in England, whose registered office is Valley House, Trimpley, Bewdley, Worcestershire, DY12 1PG. The company's registered number is 12168682 and its charity number is 1190860. The members of the company are the Trustees named on Page 1. In the event of The Emily Jordan Foundation Projects Limited being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member.
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows.
## **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 Going concern**
The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
## **1.3 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.
## **1.4 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.
Support costs and overheads have been calculated by allocating staff time to the level of involvement in the various activities of the Charity.
## **1.5 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.
## **1.6 Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
Page 9 of 15
## **1.7 Provisions for liabilities**
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
## **1.8 Financial instruments**
Charities preparing accounts normally measure a basic financial asset or basic financial liability on its initial recognition at the amount receivable or payable adjusted for any related transaction costs. However, if initially measured at fair value, transaction costs are not included in the measurement of financial assets or liabilities; instead, the transaction costs are treated as an expense. If extended credit is offered, the accounting treatment depends on those extended credit terms.
The subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities depends on their nature and settlement dates. The carrying amount must be calculated without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred on sale or disposal.
## **1.9 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.
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.
## **1.10 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:
|**Name**|**Rate (%)**|**Method**|
|---|---|---|
|Plant & Machinery|10%|Straight Line|
|Fixtures & Fittings|10%|Straight Line|
|Ofce Equipment|10%|Straight Line|
## **1.11 Agency Arrangements**
The charity acted as agent for Dudley Council to purchase some fixed assets on their behalf. This income and expenditure is excluded from the income and expenditure of the charity and any balances due from or held on behalf of Dudley Council are included in the balance sheet.
