Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
The Nick Kilhams Foundation exists for the preservation and protection of good mental health and relief of need for the public benefit and with a focus on the workplace environment of the London (re)insurance market by:
-
Raising awareness of mental health issues.
-
Working to provide opportunities for early support for those affected by suicidal thoughts and incidents of suicide via open and honest dialogue working with charities and other organisations to provide help to those affected by suicidal thoughts and to provide support to families bereaved by suicide.
The foundation aims to provide education, research, and fundraising to:
-
Support access to emergency interventions for members of the London insurance market.
-
Improve general mental health in the Lloyd's / London market.
Significant activities
The NKF has had another good year in terms of fundraising and supporting our partner charities accordingly. Our partner charities are:
-
St James' Place
-
The Listening Place
-
Suicide&Co
-
R;pple
We have maintained our market activities to increase awareness and raise funds. Our annual lunch has become a regular fixture together with the annual lecture and carol concert.
In addition, we have built a cohort of Ambassadors to help represent our cause more widely as well as launched a number of clubs that enables interaction.
Public benefit
It is confirmed that the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and the only objects for which the Charity was established are for the public benefit.
Grantmaking
The Nick Kilhams Foundation is focussed on fundraising in order to pay grants to professional service providers (primarily those providing emergency counter-suicide interventions) to benefit our key audience; practitioners in the Lloyd's / London market.
Volunteers
The Nick Kilhams Foundation Board of Trustees and Committee members are all volunteers.
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
During the reporting period, the NKF has meet frequently and agreed to make substantial donations with available funds. The Trustee Board during the accounting period remained at 8 members
The NKF has regular dialogue with our partner charities, and while it is difficult to track the precise impact of our fundraising efforts, it's quite clear that we make a significant impact at each.

The Nick Kilhams Foundation
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30th June 2025
Financial review
Financial position
The charity's statement of financial position is as set on page 6. The Charity showed a net increase in funds of £41,365 (2024 - Decrease £69,687). The funds of the charity are in surplus by £97,641 (2024 - £56,276). The funds held will be used to continue the charity into the future.
Principal funding sources
The charity's principal sources of funds are from donations from corporate sponsors and private individuals.
Investment policy and objectives
Our policy is to retain any reserves in a deposit account with minimal risk.
Reserves policy
The NKF will often seek to offer long term unrestricted funding to our charity partners. Where commitments have been made in this regard, adequate provision has been made to accommodate.
Going concern
The Nick Kilhams Foundation is entirely dependent on the success of fundraising activities. In the event that that foundation is unable to raise funds, the foundation would be obliged to reduce/cancel commitments to partner organisations and ultimately would discontinue.
Future plans
The Trustees periodically review the purpose and relevance of The NKF including our ability to continue to raise appropriate funding. For now the Trustees are happy we continue.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Nick Kilhams Foundation
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Nick Kilhams Foundation ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30th June 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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 accounts to be reached.
