Foundation For Good’s executive board, in conjunction with our Chief Executive Officer, is committed to expanding the charity’s services and further enhancing the significant benefits we provide to our members. In partnership with County Durham Council and the Directory for Alternative Learning Provisions, we deliver education to some of the most hard-to-reach young people in our area through our Alternative Learning Provision (ALP). This innovative service has already achieved outstanding outcomes and fostered the development of young people. By harnessing the power of neuroplasticity, we help individuals make essential neuro developments and behavioural changes necessary for future success.
Our collaboration in the field of alternative learning ensures a steady stream of referrals, thereby expanding our service reach and strengthening our evidence base of success. We have numerous exciting developments planned for the near future. A significant milestone is the submission of a building development grant, which, if successful, will enable us to make substantial changes to our facility. This grant will support the expansion and enhancement of our physical space, allowing us to accommodate more members and provide a wider range of services.
Our goal is to make our services inclusive for all, and we are developing frameworks to enable similar organisations to follow suit. These developments will significantly benefit our recipients and facilitate the growth of Foundation For Good, reaching new members and broadening our impact within the community.
V I S I O N T O E X P A N D
Our services positively change lives. In the future we plan to expand in order to be able to offer our unique and positive services to more people for public benefit. The growth of our services and the increase of public benefit will also bring charitable financial gain for Foundation For Good. The growth and expansion which is planned in the future will in turn help us further attain our visions and goals of making a positive difference within world.

Operational Support and Dedicated Team:
Our operational success is deeply rooted in the commitment and passion of our dedicated team of employees and volunteers. At Foundation For Good, we are fortunate to have a group of individuals who wholeheartedly believe in our mission to empower the most vulnerable members of our community in England's top 20% most deprived areas.
Employee Commitment:
Our employees play a pivotal role in translating our mission into impactful programs and initiatives. Their unwavering dedication is evident in the tireless efforts they put into the alternative education programs, food bank operations, mental health services, and the myriad of activities that form the core of our community support initiatives. Their commitment goes beyond the call of duty, with many of them actively seeking ways to innovate and enhance the effectiveness of our programs.
Volunteer Contributions:
Our volunteers, the lifeblood of our organisation, embody the spirit of community service. These selfless individuals generously donate their time, skills, and energy to support our various projects. Whether it's distributing food at the food bank, mentoring disadvantaged youth, or providing a listening ear through our mental health services, our volunteers contribute with a sense of purpose that transcends the challenges faced by the communities we serve.
Belief in the Mission:
What sets our team apart is a shared belief in the transformative power of community support. This shared vision unites employees and volunteers alike, fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment. Their collective dedication is not merely a job requirement but a genuine belief in the positive impact we can make in the lives of those who need it most.
Operational Challenges:
While our team remains steadfast in their commitment, it is essential to acknowledge the challenges we face. Limited resources, external factors affecting community dynamics, and the evolving landscape of social issues present hurdles that demand resilience and adaptability. Despite these challenges, our team's determination to overcome obstacles and continue serving the community remains unwavering.
In the face of adversity, the solidarity among our team members and volunteers serves as a source of strength. The challenges we encounter only deepen our resolve to find innovative solutions and enhance the effectiveness of our programs.
In conclusion, the operational success of Foundation For Good is intricately woven into the fabric of our dedicated team. Their commitment, resilience, and shared belief in our mission serve as the driving force behind our ability to create lasting positive change in the communities we proudly serve.

Risks and Mitigation Strategies
The trustees have identified critical risks related to the charity’s premises and have worked collaboratively with the CEO to implement proactive solutions that safeguard Foundation For Good’s ability to serve the community effectively.
1. Risk of Losing the Building
Risk:
The potential loss of the charity’s building posed a significant risk to the continuity of services and the community’s access to essential support programmes. Without ownership, there was a real threat that the building could be lost, undermining the charity’s ability to deliver its mission.
Mitigation:
To address this, the CEO took the initiative to apply for funding to secure the purchase of the building. Despite not having all the funding in place at the time to enable projects such as the future planned wellbeing café, this decisive action ensured that Foundation For Good retained ownership of the premises. We managed secure loan funding to successfully purchase the building. Owning the building eliminated the risk of losing this vital community asset, providing a stable base for ongoing and future services, including mental health support, alternative education, and food bank operations.
2. Risk of the Building Not Being Fit for Purpose
Risk:
The condition of the building presented challenges, including its suitability for delivering services effectively. Without significant improvements, the premises risked becoming unfit for purpose, limiting the charity’s ability to grow and meet increasing demand.
Mitigation:
To resolve this, the CEO applied for capital funding to enable the development and refurbishment of the building. This funding will facilitate:
-
A complete exterior and interior upgrade.
-
Energy efficiency enhancements.
-
Installation of modern heating and cooling systems.
These improvements will ensure the building is fit for purpose, creating a welcoming, sustainable, and fully functional space. This will allow Foundation For Good to expand its services, accommodate more individuals, and deliver initiatives such as the wellbeing café for the benefit of the wider community.
By taking proactive measures, the trustees, supported by the CEO’s leadership, have safeguarded the charity’s physical infrastructure. These actions ensure the charity can continue to provide a stable, inclusive, and transformative space for those who need it most, now and in the future.

F I N A N C I A L R E V I E W
The financial year ending 29 February 2024 has been a year of significant growth and progress for Foundation For Good, with income and expenditure reflecting both the expansion of services and strategic investments for the future.
Income
Total income for the year was £229,459, an increase from £65,543 in the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by:
-
Grant Funding: £53,968 secured from multiple funders, including Durham Community Foundation, The Clothworkers Foundation, and Bernicia Foundation, to support targeted initiatives and equipment purchases.
-
Fundraising Activities: £153,245 raised through community events and initiatives, showcasing strong support from local partners and stakeholders.
-
Service Income: Membership fees and programme contributions contributed £13,335, highlighting demand for the charity’s services.
Expenditure
Expenditure for the year totalled £172,583, up from £55,291 in the previous year. Key areas of expenditure included:
-
Charitable Activities: £107,996 was spent on delivering core services such as alternative education, community wellbeing programmes, and sports initiatives.
-
Operational Costs: Investment in staff (£7,635), premises (£8,232), and general administration (£24,059) ensured the effective delivery of services.
-
Strategic Development: £20,617 was allocated towards equipment and facility improvements to enhance service delivery.
Despite increased expenditure, prudent management ensured that costs were closely aligned with income growth.
Surplus and Reserves
Foundation For Good recorded a net surplus of £56,876, increasing total funds carried forward to £76,390 (2023: £19,514). This surplus was achieved through a combination of robust fundraising and careful expenditure controls.
At the year-end, unrestricted reserves stood at £69,815, with restricted reserves of £6,575 allocated to specific projects. The trustees remain committed to maintaining a reserves policy to ensure sufficient funds are available to cover at least 3-6 months of core operating costs, providing a financial safety net against unforeseen challenges.

F I N A N C I A L R E V I E W
Strategic Investments
A significant milestone during the year was the acquisition of the charity’s building, valued at £200,000. This purchase was a proactive measure to safeguard the future of the premises for community use, ensuring continuity of services.
To address the building’s condition and ensure it remains fit for purpose, the CEO secured £420,000 from the Community Ownership Fund to begin capital refurbishment. This investment will enable essential upgrades, including energy efficiency improvements and modern heating systems, supporting the long-term sustainability of the facility.
Future Financial Strategy
Looking ahead, Foundation For Good will continue to focus on:
-
Diversifying income streams through grants, fundraising, and sustainable initiatives like the wellbeing café.
-
Careful financial planning to support programme growth while maintaining operational stability.
-
Leveraging capital investments to create a welcoming, fully functional space that meets the needs of the community.

-
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Freehold property % None Computer Equipment 33% Straight Line Motor Vehicle 25% Reducing Balance Plant & Machinery 20% Straight Line
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Page 7
Foundation for Good CIO Notes to the Accounts
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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 due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Foundation for Good CIO
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Foundation for Good CIO for the year ended 29 February 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of 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 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

-
Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
-
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Freehold property % None Computer Equipment 33% Straight Line Motor Vehicle 25% Reducing Balance Plant & Machinery 20% Straight Line
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Foundation for Good CIO Notes to the Accounts
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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 due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
