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.
We. and the school. are confident thatthis programrne will help young people to find
employment, improve their life chances and develop the skills they need to participate
in, and contribute to, society.
The Outdoor Gulde Foundatlon - £5.11XI for 170 $ets of waterproots and wellles
We made a small grant of £5.100 to The Outdoor Guide Foundation to provide 10 sets of
waterproofs and wellies to 17 state primary schools in Cambridge {170 sets in totall.
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.
Youth Homelessne

This year we awarded a grant of £500.000 to Park Lodge Projert to fund their Employed and
Supported Projert.
We have had regular contatt with grantees over the course of the year. and we are thrilled with the
impact our grants are having on improving the lives of young people.
Park Lodge ProJert- £500.000 for thelr Employed and Supported Project
The grant will be used to buy and furnish a 5-6 bedroom house. which will accommodate
young people who are ready to start work, but who aren't ready to live independently.
The aim of the projert is to ensure young people can transition to. and sustain. long-term
employment and independence. Thiswill be transformationalfor manyyoung people and will
free up space withln Park Lodge's main service for those who are in greater need of high-level
support. by allowing people who are readyto move on. to do so.

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.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we:
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships:
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions:
assessed whether judgments and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were
indicative of potential bias.. and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transattions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations. we designed
procedures which included. but were not limited to:
a8reeing financial statement disclosures to undertying supporting documentation;
reading the minutes of meetings of those char8ed with governance".
enquiring of management as to attual and potential litigation and claims; and
reviewing correspondence with the compan￿5 legal advisors and any other relevant regulator or
