REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Financial review
Financial position
The charity raised a total of £192,577 (2024: £192,577) during the year to 31 March 2025.
The foundation spent a total of £64,392 (2024: £68,361) during the period on services and salaries which allow the charity to fulfil its function. At the year end, the foundation held stock at a fair value of £290,185 (2024: £289,550).
Conclusion
The 2024–2025 financial year was defined by growth, diversification, and strengthened community impact. Despite challenges in funding and capacity, the organisation successfully launched multiple hubs, built new partnerships, and improved financial resilience.
Looking ahead, the Moxie Foundation and Working Wardrobe are well-positioned to build on this progress, with a clear focus on sustainable expansion, securing multi-year funding, and ensuring that clothing poverty is no longer a barrier to opportunity in Wales.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have examined the charity's requirement for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. The intention in the future is to hold reasonable levels of reserves in the organisation to protect against unforeseen circumstances and potential risks without over retention, which would be contrary to the charitable delivery. A reserves policy is available upon request.
Going concern
After making reasonable enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue it's operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Structure, governance and management Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. The foundations' governing document is publicly available on the Charity register which sets out the purpose of the foundation and how the foundation will be operated.
Organisational structure
The organisational structure comprises that of the two trustees, along with an employee who assists with the day to day running of the charity.
Decision making
Decision making is under the sole control of the trustees, who remain to have full operational control.
Key management remuneration

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 20% on cost
Stocks and donated goods
In line with the requirements of FRS 102, upon which Charities SORP 2015 is based, there is a requirement to recognise the income from receipts of resources from non-exchange transactions (including donated goods) at the fair value of the donated goods received. The charity has adopted this method when valuing any stock donated in the period and at the balance sheet date.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
