The Abstrart Foundation111962341- Tru5tee5'Annual Report Achievements and Performance Educat. Netherhall School - £500.000 over 4.5 years (2022-2026) We continued our multi-year funding agreementwith Netherhall School in Cambridge, to deliver two core programmes, and we are incredibly pleased with the progress made with both of these. I ntegrate- creatingand delivering a free programme of supportand informatlon forfamilles throughout a 5tudenVs educational life, via onllne content and in-person events. The projett ha5 continued to be a great success with sustained interest from parents across a broad range of topics. The school are 50 confident in the success and importance of this provision that they are making plans to set up an independent charity to ensure the work can continue and expand beyond the end of our funding agreement. I nnovate creating and delivering a distintt pathway. tailored towards students who experience barriers to engagement with traditional curriculums. This project has also continued to be a great success, with engagement and behaviour improving for nearly all students.

A third of families whose children attend state primary schools live below the poverty line, and this often means they cant afford to buy wellles and waterproofs for their children. We believe. and research shows. thatjust being outside.whether learningor playing has huge benefits for children. These basic sets will ensure that all children have the opportunlty to get outside. explore, learn, and enjoy nature.

The Abstract Foundation11196234)- Trusteeg Annual Repon Risk Management The trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. and they have policie5. systems and procedures in place to mitigate them. Our principal operational risk is the extent to which the grants we award succeed in furthering our charitable objects. We manage this risk by condutting extensive due diligence and research into organisations before we award them with fundin& and, where necessary, seeking advice from people and organisations with relevant expertise. Fundraising The Foundation did not use online fundraislng plarforms and did not engage professional fijndraisers or other commercial organisations to fundraise on its behalf. Donations were generated from organisations and individuals with dirert contact with the trustees. Reserves At 30th March 2024. the Foundation held a total of £118.446 in funds (2023: £308.947), of this £111.716 is restritted 12023: £287.500). and £6.730 is unrestrirted 12023: £21.447). Given that The Abstratt Foundation is a newly established CIO. which has been set up as a demonstration of the commitment of our main corporate funder (Abstract Securities Limited) to our charitable objects. the trustees have decided there is a relatively low risk of losing funding in the near future and therefore only a low level of reserves is needed. Our aim is to maintain approximatety 3 monthg worth of running costs as unrestricted reserves (2 £10.000). Our agreement with ASL requires them to provide us with 3 month< notice to end our partnership." we therefore believe this will provide us with sufficient fvnds to ensure support and governance costs are covered whilst we secure alternative funding andlor fulfil any existing obligations. Plans For Future Periods The next round of grants will be awarded at the end of 2024. and the trustees alm to award at least £1.5 million in fundin& In order to achieve this. the trustees will urbdertake another. larger. round of fundraising from indiwdual and corporate donors. We will also seek to partner with other charitable foundation5 to provide match fundin& We have identified the impatt of social media and the intemet on young people's mental health as our main funding theme for 2024. We have begun the process of conducting our own research to identify potential recipients and are confident that we will find excellent organisations to support. Structure. Governance and Management Go The charity is governed by Its Constttution dated 21.10.2021. and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Or8ani5ation (foundation strutturel. ointment o Trustees The governing document provides for a Board of Trusrees which consists of up to seven persons.
