FT FINANCIAL LITERACY AND INCLUSION CAMPAIGN
R E P O R T O F T H E T R U S T E E S
Year ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees present their annual report and accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 of the financial statements and with the 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).
Administrative information
The FT Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign is a charity registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1194590. It is constituted by a trust deed dated 9 April 2021.
Structure, governance and management
The trustees who have served in the year are those shown on page 2.
New trustees are appointed in accordance with the trust deed. Responsibilities for the appointment of any trustee, or the discharge of an outgoing trustee, vests with the trustees. Responsibility for the induction of any new trustee, which involves awareness of the approach of the charity and an understanding of a trustee’s duties, lies with the trustees.
The trustees meet periodically to monitor the progress of the content production and consider the outreach of the campaign.
Objectives and activities
The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document are specifically restricted to the advancement of education and the relief of poverty for the benefit of the public, particularly through the promotion of financial literacy among young people, women and disenfranchised communities.
The main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit identified in the accounts consists of the creation of educational content which offers a multi-media introduction course to sound money management. The course introduces the basic building blocks of finance required to navigate a challenging economic climate and help young people realise their life ambitions.
The charity has 6 paid staff. It also has the support of 25 volunteers and 12 part-time contractors to assist with design work, workshop delivery and content production.
Public benefit
The trustees, having regard to the Public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in accordance with section 17 of the Charities Act 2011; consider that the purpose and activities of the charity satisfy the requirements of the public benefit test set out in section 4 of the same Act.
Financial review
This report describes activity delivered during and beyond the financial year ended 31 March 2025. Several programmes referenced, including large-scale education partnerships and adult learning initiatives, are supported by multi-year funding from the Association of British Insurers (ABI), with income received and recognised in earlier accounting periods and delivery continuing across the grant term. As a result, programme activity in a given accounting period may be funded by income recognised in earlier accounting periods.
The trustees consider the current financial position to be satisfactory. There is sufficient cash from individual philanthropy and institutional funding, which comprise the principal sources of funding, to provide support for their chosen charitable causes. The trust had net assets of £1,126,804 as of 31 March 2025 (2024 - £982,250), of which £868,308 is attributable to the unrestricted fund (2024 - £693,655) and £258,496 is attributable to the restricted fund (2024 - £288,595). This consisted of cash at bank of £1,068,859 (2024 - £984,603), receivables of £217,853 (2024 - £5,307) and payables of £167,696 (2024 - £12,219). In the year to 31 March 2025 the trust had net incoming resources of £174,653 attributable to
FT FINANCIAL LITERACY AND INCLUSION CAMPAIGN
R E P O R T O F T H E T R U S T E E S ( c o n t i n u e d )
Year ended 31 March 2025
the unrestricted fund (2024 - £96,479) and outgoing resources of £30,099 attributable to the restricted fund (2024 – incoming resources of £245,378).
Reserves policy
The trust holds £250,000 in cash reserves as of 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024 - £250,000). There are sufficient reserves to ensure the charitable incorporated organisation’s continued operations for at least 6 months of regular outgoings, estimated at £210,000 based on present financial obligations (2024 - £210,000).
Risk management
The principal risks faced by the charity lie in its ability to fulfil Employer’s, Public and Trustees liabilities under exceptional circumstances. The trustees have taken a policy with Aviva Insurance to mitigate the financial impact of these risks.
Additional theoretical risk factors:
Financial Times Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign (FT FLIC)'s key financial risks relate to the potential removal of FT support and a significant reduction in major gifts.
FLIC's key governance and operational risks relate to potential trustee conflicts of interest and a potential failure to safeguard beneficiary welfare.
Achievements and performance
During the year ended 31 March 2025, FT FLIC continued to advance its charitable objectives by expanding access to trusted, high-quality financial education through schools, workplaces and public sector partners.
Schools and young people
FT FLIC’s schools programme continued to operate at national scale. During the year, the charity supported and engaged over 900 schools and educators, providing access to free, accredited financial education resources aligned to the national curriculum. These resources were designed to be used flexibly across different year groups and settings, enabling schools to integrate financial education into existing teaching without reliance on repeated external delivery.
Activity during the year included ongoing refinement of curriculum content, safeguarding and quality assurance processes, and engagement with educators to support effective classroom use. This work forms part of a long-term approach to embedding financial literacy within mainstream education and improving consistency and quality of provision.
Adult learning and underserved communities
The charity continued to develop adult learning initiatives aimed at groups at increased risk of financial harm, with a particular focus on people facing complex financial decisions or working in high-pressure environments.
This included continued development of adult learning resources supported by a multi-year programme in partnership with the Association of British Insurers, with activity during the year focused on co-design, testing and evaluation. These resources are intended to support adults navigating issues such as budgeting, debt, savings and financial resilience, with wider public release planned in subsequent periods.
NHS and health sector engagement
During the year, FT FLIC continued its work to support NHS staff through the development and delivery of tailored financial education content. Activity included collaboration with NHS partners to design resources relevant to the financial challenges faced by healthcare workers, including managing income volatility, pensions and long-term financial planning.

Year ended 31 March 2025
This work forms part of the charity’s wider strategy to embed financial education within trusted public sector environments, enabling access to support for staff groups who may experience heightened financial stress.
Armed Forces and service communities
FT FLIC also continued to develop financial education initiatives for Armed Forces personnel and service communities. During the year, activity focused on adapting content to reflect the specific financial circumstances faced by service members, including issues related to deployment, housing, benefits and transition to civilian life.
Work during the year included partner engagement and content development, with delivery and wider rollout planned as part of a phased, multi-year approach.
Public campaigns and national reach
FT FLIC delivered public-facing campaigns designed to improve financial understanding and confidence at scale. Through digital distribution and national platforms, campaign content reached over one million people during the year.
Campaigns focused on providing clear, accessible guidance on everyday financial issues and were designed to support audiences who may not otherwise engage with formal financial education. All campaign content was developed in line with the charity’s safeguarding, quality and editorial standards.
Partnerships, evaluation and learning
The charity continued to strengthen partnerships with employers, public sector organisations and institutions to embed financial education within existing systems and reach audiences efficiently. This included collaboration across education, health, defence and employment settings.
FT FLIC also continued to invest in learning and evaluation. During the year, the charity worked with independent research partners to support evaluation activity and ensure that insights from delivery inform future programme development and improvement.
International reach:
While our focus remains UK-based, FT FLIC’s impact is extending internationally. In 2025, we learned from and shared expertise with partners in Italy, Thailand, Malta, and India, supporting the localisation of our educational materials and approaches. These collaborations demonstrate how the FT FLIC model can adapt globally.
Future plans:
Looking ahead, our strategic aims remain clear: to expand access nationwide, prioritise underserved groups and geographies, generate measurable impact and influence policy change to make financial education and inclusion universal.
Further details on programme delivery, partnerships, reach and learning is set out in the FT FLIC Impact Report.
Impact and Public Benefit
FT FLIC delivers public benefit by increasing financial knowledge, confidence and capability, particularly among individuals and communities at greater risk of financial harm. The charity’s activities are designed to support people in making informed financial decisions and to improve financial resilience over time.
The charity’s work is intentionally structured around a progression of outcomes. In the short term, programmes aim to improve understanding of core financial concepts and build confidence in engaging with financial decisions. Over the medium term, this increased confidence is intended to support more

R E P O R T O F T H E T R U S T E E S ( c o n t i n u e d )
Year ended 31 March 2025
informed financial behaviours. In the longer term, the charity seeks to contribute to reduced financial harm and improved financial inclusion, particularly for groups facing structural or situational disadvantage.
Robust governance and oversight are central to the delivery of public benefit. Programme steering groups, grant oversight arrangements and independent evaluation partnerships support accountability, safeguarding and learning across all major initiatives. These structures ensure that delivery is evidenceinformed, risks are managed appropriately, and insights from practice are used to strengthen future programme design.
The Trustees believe that this approach represents an effective and responsible use of charitable resources. By combining specialist expertise, strong governance and partner-led distribution, FT FLIC is able to maximise public benefit and deliver impact at scale while maintaining financial discipline and independence.
How our delivery model supports scale and value for money
FT FLIC operates a digital-first, partnership-led delivery model. Most of the activity described in this report reflects investment in content development, accreditation, safeguarding, evaluation, and partnership management undertaken by a small specialist team. Once developed, resources can be reused and distributed widely through digital channels at minimal additional cost, enabling significant reach without proportionate increases in expenditure
This model is further supported by significant in-kind contributions from the Financial Times, including access to office space in the City of London at reduced cost and the use of established operational infrastructure. These arrangements enable the charity to operate efficiently while maintaining independence of governance and decision-making. As a result, staff and central costs represent direct charitable delivery rather than administrative overhead. These in-kind contributions are not fully reflected as income in the financial statements where they cannot be reliably measured, but they materially enhance the charity’s ability to deliver impact efficiently.
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 of the charity 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 applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any 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 business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the Trust Deed. 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.

(d) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets are stated at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

1. Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Expenditure and liabilities
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charitable incorporated organisation to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts.
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition at the amount receivable or payable adjusted for any related transaction costs. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost.
(h) Debtors
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
(i) Donated goods, facilities and services
Donations are recognised in the period when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the donated goods, facilities and services will flow to the charity and provided they can be measured reliably. An equivalent amount is included as expenditure under the relevant heading in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Donated facilities and services provided to the charity are measured and included in the accounts on the basis of their value to the charity i.e. the amount that the charity would pay in the open market for an alternative item that would give the same benefit to the charity as the donated item.
(j) Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within sections 521-536 of the Income Taxes Act 2007 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objectives.
