Appointment of trustees

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years. Appointment of trustees is by majority election of the board of trustees in general session. New trustees undergo a formal induction process during which they are given a broad outline of the charity's policies and procedures. They are also given a copy of the charity's constitution (and any amendments made to it), and a copy of its latest annual report and statement of accounts. They are expected to familiarise themselves with the details of formal trustee responsibilities as laid down in charity law. Trustees may serve up to three consecutive terms, after which a period of at least 12 months must elapse before they are reappointed. Trustees that have retired remain eligible for reappointment.

(continued)

Liability of members

In the event that the CIO is wound up, any person who was a member of the CIO within 12 months before the commencement of the winding up is liable to contribute to the assets of the CIO such amount as may be required for payment of the debts and liabilities of the CIO (but not exceeding £1). Members of the CIO have no personal responsibility for the settlement of its debts and liabilities beyond the amount that they are liable to contribute.

Management of the charity

The trustees exercise overall control of the organisation through regular trustee and management team meetings. Day-to-day running of the CIO is delegated to senior management personnel as well as an administrator.

Risk management

The trustees carry out an annual review of the major risks to which the CIO is exposed, and they implement changes or adjust policies to mitigate those risks.

Objectives and activities

Objects of the charity

The objects of the CIO - as set out in its governing document - are as follows:-

  1. To advance the psychological and emotional welfare and wellbeing of adopted and looked-after children and their families or carers impacted by early-years trauma.

  2. To raise public awareness of the difficulties faced by children who cannot live with their birth parents.

  3. To carry out, fund and publish research pursuant to all or any of the foregoing.

The property of the CIO shall not be applied for purposes which are not charitable.

Public benefit statement

The charity is a public benefit entity. The trustees have complied with their statutory duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake, and how those activities are made available to the public.

Activities undertaken for the public benefit

The charity's main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to its charitable objects during the year, were as follows:

Achievements and performance

This year we have continued to make meaningful progress across our core therapeutic programmes. Our work has remained firmly focused on supporting adopted, fostered, and kinship care children, while strengthening family relationships and promoting the welfare and wellbeing of those we serve. Alongside these ongoing efforts, we also launched a series of new initiatives through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, delivered in partnership with Powys and Ceredigion County Councils. These projects have allowed us to expand our reach, use innovative approaches, and further embed therapeutic support within community settings.

In partnership with Powys and Ceredigion County Councils, we successfully delivered three impactful initiatives under the UK Shared Prosperity Fund throughout 2024, concluding in December. This funding enabled us to extend our reach and deepen our community impact through delivering:

The Theraplay project was extremely successful with exceptional engagement and feedback from participants. This project allowed us to expand our reach by equipping professionals across local services with specialist training. This created new opportunities to embed therapeutic approaches within community settings, enabling wider, sustained support for families beyond our own provision. By investing in the skills and confidence of those working across education, health, and social care, we are helping to foster a more trauma-informed, inclusive network of support around families.

The functional maths and budgeting course was thoughtfully designed and extensively marketed, and aimed at those deemed hard to reach, and so understandably had lower participant recruitment. Despite our best efforts to promote the course across multiple channels and our experience with this demographic, uptake remained lower than we hoped for, though we knew it was always going to be the most significant challenge for this project. This experience highlighted the complexities of engaging communities in therapeutic learning, particularly in rural areas, and underscored the importance of tailored outreach and relationshipbuilding. Despite this, the course provided meaningful outcomes for those who took part, and the experience has informed our approach to future programme development.

Funded by the Community Foundation Wales (Principality Building Society) Future Generations Fund, our Hear My Voice project was successfully delivered this year. It supported vulnerable young people in Powys who are fostered, adopted, or in kinship care to express their thoughts and feelings. Using direct quotations and participant feedback, we developed powerful resources that amplify their voices. A final dissemination event engaged stakeholders from across Powys, including senior managers from key support services, strengthening community awareness and collaboration.

Together, these projects exemplify our commitment to collaborative working, capacity building, and long-term impact - strengthening the foundations of care and resilience across the region.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Building on last year’s successful applications for several small to medium-sized grants (including The National Lottery, Postcode Community Trust, and Lindenleaf CIO) we were able to maintain and extend other key project areas throughout this reporting period. These funds supported the ongoing delivery of:

The children and families involved in these interventions shared overwhelmingly positive feedback, expressing deep appreciation for the high-quality therapeutic support that made these unique and meaningful experiences possible.

The organisations we have partnered with in delivering these interventions, such as Jamie’s Farm, have expressed a strong desire to continue working collaboratively, reflecting the value they place on our approach and the impact of our work. This has been further demonstrated through the offer of discounted rates and other forms of support to enable our partnerships to continue.

Our online profile remains active and well-maintained. The website, along with relevant social media channels, has been regularly updated with news on project activities, new partnerships and funders, and notable achievements.

Fundraising

To diversify and strengthen our fundraising reach, we previously expanded our digital donation platforms. These include Donorbox (via our website), EasyFundraising and Give as You Live (online shopping), Fundraising Everywhere, and Total Giving. All platforms remain active, and while income to date has been modest, we continue to see steady engagement and remain optimistic about future growth.

Through the year we have been able to make regular contributions to the High Sheriff of Herefordshire’s column in The Hereford Times. This has provided a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of the Foundation’s work across bordering counties. The increased visibility supports our wider fundraising efforts by strengthening public recognition, stakeholder engagement, and trust in our mission. We’re pleased to have been invited to continue contributing into the coming year.

We were delighted to be selected for the Co-op Local Community Fund, which provided ongoing in-store fundraising support across both last year and this year. The initiative concluded with the receipt of final funds in November 2024, contributing to our continued work within the community. We also received the final instalment from The Allen Lane Foundation in March, originally awarded in the previous financial year. This funding will contribute to our core operational costs into the coming year, helping to sustain service delivery.

This year, several volunteers took part in two half-marathon events to raise funds for the charity, demonstrating their commitment and enthusiasm for our cause. Their efforts not only generated donations but also helped raise awareness of our work within the wider community.

We have also continued to receive a number of smaller individual donations, including contributions from repeat supporters.

Human Resources

On 16th April 2024, we welcomed a new trustee with a professional background in finance and business. Their expertise strengthens our governance and supports the continued development of our financial strategy and organisational sustainability.

One of our trustees has indicated their intention to step down during the next financial year. The board is grateful for the contributions this trustee and founding member of the Foundation has made.

Thanks to secured funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, we were able to expand our operational team for the first time to include a dedicated project manager and a sessional marketing specialist, alongside a new part-time administrator. These roles played a vital part in delivering and supporting the SPF-funded projects throughout 2024. The project manager provided essential leadership and coordination across the initiatives, while the marketing specialist supported targeted outreach and engagement. Although the project manager and marketing specialist roles concluded due to the end of the funding period in December 2024, their contributions significantly enhanced our capacity and impact during the year. The administrator has proved invaluable. We have sought and prioritised funding which enables this role to continue with the Foundation. We have begun planning for this role to extend into small grant applications and day-to-day management of payments.

We remain deeply grateful for the ongoing commitment of our volunteers and trustees, whose time and expertise continue to be instrumental in the charity’s success. Throughout the year, they have generously supported us through our annual in-person strategy day, online meetings, contributed to the development and review of key policies and governance documents, and provided strategic oversight through the finance sub-committee. Their dedication ensures that our work remains accountable, well-governed, and aligned with our mission.

Financial review

Reserves policy

The trustees review the reserves policy annually, in the light of future plans, and on the basis of the most recent accounts information. They aim to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to enable the charity to take advantage of new opportunities, and to cover the expected and unexpected costs of pursuing its objectives during periods of reduced funding. Due to the continuing financial support pledged by a major donor, the trustees consider that the required reserves level should be between 3 and 9 months of normal expenditure.

At 31 March 2025, the charity's reserves stood at £963, which was equivalent to 0.8 months of normal expenditure. This is below the required level, and the trustees will take steps to increase the amount during the next financial year. It should be noted that part of the charity's restricted income reserves are to be spent on administrative and planning activities, which will be beneficial in meeting certain recurring administrative overheads. That restricted element amounts to £10,049 and is additional to the reserves total quoted above.

Plans for the future

Over the next twelve months, we will continue to prioritise fundraising and grant applications, with a focus on securing longer-term funding. More predictable income streams will enable us to extend our reach and deepen our impact. Alongside our commissioned therapeutic partner, we have consistently facilitated the delivery of high-quality, valued interventions when funding has been in place, and we remain committed to building on this strength.

We are also developing a strategic plan to support income diversification and long-term financial sustainability. We recognise the challenges facing the wider charitable sector, with increased competition for grants and reduced discretionary giving. In response, we’ll continue to diversify our income streams and strengthen relationships with funders to support our future resilience. Notable plans will include:

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. Charity information

A CIO is a charity registered as a body corporate under Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011.

The charity's principal office is Kilverts School, Clyro, Hereford, HR3 5SB. The principal office of the charity is in Wales.

2. Basis of preparation

Accounting basis

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the 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) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the relevant version of the 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) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. It continues to receive substantial grant funding, and is supported financially by a major donor, The Family Place Ltd. There are no material uncertainties affecting the charity during the period under review.

The Family Place Foundation meets the definition of a Public Benefit Entity under FRS 102.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

These financial statements are presented in Sterling.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

(continued)

3. Principal accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below, and have been consistently applied.

Incoming resources

Income is included in the SOFA when a right to entitlement exists, when its receipt is virtually certain, and when the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Where income and expenditure are related, both are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants which are conditional upon the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are only included in the SOFA when the charity has obtained unconditional entitlement to the income. Grants which are related to specific performance are included in the SOFA as the charity earns the right to consideration from its performance. Government grants are treated in accordance with the accruals model of FRS 102. Where they relate to revenue expenditure, they are credited to the SOFA as they are received; where they relate to capital expenditure, the grant is deferred, and subsequently released to the SOFA over the useful life of the related asset.

Grants which are subject to a condition which allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant, are recognised in full when receivable. Any related liability for repayment is included when repayment is probable.

Incoming resources are deferred when the charity receives income that is subject to a condition that prohibits expenditure until a future specified event or accounting period, or when it receives contractual income in advance of the provision of services to which the income relates. In such circumstances, the relevant amount is accounted for as deferred income, and recognised as a liability until the accounting period in which the charity is allowed to expend the resource, or provides the related services.

Grants are classified in the SOFA according to their nature. Grants of a general nature, or for the purposes of core funding, are included in 'Voluntary income'; grants relating to the provision of goods or services - either to beneficiaries, or as a part of charitable activities - are included in 'Incoming resources from charitable activities'.

Gifts in kind are included at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity, or the amount realised. They are included in the SOFA when receivable.

Donated goods, services and facilities are included in incoming resources (with an equivalent entry to resources expended), where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable, and material. The amount recorded is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts, but is described in the trustees' annual report, where material.

Investment income is included in the SOFA when receivable.

Where the charity receives incoming resources specifically to provide a fixed asset, or if a fixed asset is donated, the relevant amount or valuation is recognised in the SOFA in full, when receivable.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

(continued)

3. Principal accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended and liabilities

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Expenditure is recorded in the SOFA at cost, net of trade discounts. Irrecoverable VAT is included with the expenditure to which it relates.

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Support costs include governance costs (the costs of preparing and examining the annual accounts, the costs of trustee meetings, and the costs of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters), as well as IT costs and finance costs. Support costs are apportioned between expenses relating to charitable activities, and those relating to fundraising activities on the basis disclosed in the notes to these accounts.

Funds accounting

The charity's income, expenditure, and net assets are analysed between the following funds (where applicable):

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, and capitalised where cost exceeds £100 and the asset is expected to provide an economic benefit beyond one accounting period.

Fixed assets (other than those held for investment purposes), are shown after making deductions for accumulated depreciation and impairment provisions. Residual values are assessed at the end of each accounting period, and assets are reviewed on an annual basis for any indicators of impairment.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset (less its estimated residual value), over the useful economic life of the asset. No depreciation is charged in the year of disposal. The rates used were as follows:-

(continued)

3. Principal accounting policies (continued)

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discounts offered, and after any provision for doubtful debts. Prepayments are valued at the amount that relates to future accounting periods.

Stock

Purchased stock is valued at cost, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving items. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out basis of valuation.

Donated stock is grouped according to product type, and valued at an estimate of the average unit cost that would have been incurred by the organisation if it had purchased those goods itself.

Cash at bank and in hand

This includes cash, vouchers and any short-term highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Leased assets

Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have transferred to the charity; all other leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease rentals are charged to the SOFA in equal annual amounts over the period of the lease.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

20. Going concern

After the balance sheet date, the charity received an unrestricted grant that will be paid over a three year period. This will enable the charity, amongst other things, to secure the services of its administrator in the medium-term. The charity has also made a number of other grant applications which, if successful, will further enhance the financial security of the organisation. In addition, The Family Place Ltd - an organisation which already provides free goods and services to the charity to enable it to meet its objectives - has pledged its continuing operational support to the charity. Given all these factors, and, having considered a period of twelve months from the date of their report, the trustees believe that it is appropriate for the accounts to be drawn up on the going concern basis.

21. Related party transactions

The Family Place Ltd provided the services of key management personnel to the charity during the year, on a part-time, hourly basis. These services were donated freely, without obligation to the charity, and were valued at an aggregate open-market value of £9,906 (2024: £3,088) and included within 'donations and legacies' with a corresponding entry to 'expenditure on charitable activities'.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FAMILY PLACE FOUNDATION ('THE CHARITY')

I report to the charity's trustees on my examination of the unaudited accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 9 to 20.

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. You are satisfied that the accounts of the charity are not required by charity law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 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 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with the relevant version of the 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:

  1. the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records; or

  3. 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.
