TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and "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)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The object of the charity is to provide support to those who are struggling with, or being affected by, their mental heath.

The Nest offers day placements to teenagers and young adults up to the age of 25. Our young people are involved in all aspects of running the farm; gaining new skills, increasing in confidence, and spending vital time away from the pressures of everyday life, all with the help and guidance of our staff and volunteers.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

The trustees are satisfied that the charity’s activities provided clear public benefit. Beneficiaries experienced improved confidence, emotional regulation, social interaction, and engagement with learning. The farm environment provided a calm and supportive setting, enabling young people to build positive relationships and develop practical and life skills.

During the year, a number of young people progressed positively, including reintegration into school, transition to college or sixth form, and, in one case, progression to university. These outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of the charity’s approach in supporting longer-term positive change.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

Charitable Activities

The Nest Farms’ principal activity during the year was the delivery of therapeutic, educational, and wellbeingfocused provision for children and young people, using a farm-based environment to support emotional wellbeing, engagement, and personal development.

Throughout the year, the charity delivered regular sessions for children and young people requiring additional support, including those accessing alternative provision. Provision increased during the year from one day per week to two days per week, enabling the charity to support a greater number of beneficiaries. Activities included animal care, land-based learning, cooking and food preparation, creative and practical tasks, and wellbeing-focused activities. Support was delivered in a safe, inclusive, and trauma-informed manner and tailored to individual needs.

Education and Learning Outcomes

During the reporting period, The Nest Farms became an approved provider under the AQA Unit Award Scheme. Young people began working towards, and achieved, AQA certificates in a range of subject areas, including animal care and land-based skills. Trustees consider this an important development, as it provides formal recognition of learning and achievement for young people who may struggle in traditional educational settings.

Demand and Service Development

Demand for the charity’s services remained high throughout the year, with the charity operating at or near full capacity and maintaining waiting lists. Referrals were received from local authorities, schools, families, and other organisations. In response, trustees focused on consolidating and strengthening provision at the existing site rather than pursuing rapid expansion, to ensure quality, safety, and sustainability.

THE NEST FARMS

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Infrastructure and Operational Improvements

The charity made significant improvements to its facilities during the year, including the development and use of a commercial kitchen and improvements to animal housing and site safety. These developments directly supported service delivery and animal welfare and enhanced the overall experience for beneficiaries.

Trustees also continued to review and strengthen policies and procedures, including safeguarding, health and safety, and operational processes. A safeguarding concern raised during the year was managed appropriately, with external advice sought and lessons learned incorporated into practice.

Monitoring and Evaluation

The trustees recognise the importance of monitoring the effectiveness of the charity’s activities. During the year, the charity used a combination of recognised tools, regular observations, and qualitative feedback from young people and families to assess progress and outcomes. Trustees acknowledge that further development of outcome measurement is planned for the coming year.

Summary of Performance

The trustees consider that The Nest Farms has had a successful year, delivering its charitable activities effectively and providing demonstrable benefit to its beneficiaries. The charity ends the year with strong demand for its services, improved facilities, and a clear focus on maintaining quality provision while planning for sustainable future development.

Financial review

During the period, income of £178,012 was generated, £109,217 of which was unrestricted (2024: £106,353, £92,528 of which was unrestricted). £162,882 was expended as part of the charitable activities, £123,503 of which was unrestricted (2024: £94,373, of which £85,797 was unrestricted), leaving a net surplus for the year of £15,130 (2024: £11,980). The unrestricted funds to be carried forward total £19,352 (2024: £33,638) and restricted funds £34,665 (2024: £5,249).

Going concern

The trustees have assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and have considered relevant financial and operational factors for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on this review, the trustees are satisfied that the charity has sufficient resources to continue operationally for the foreseeable future. The trustees recognise that free reserves are relatively low, being £5,802 at the year-end, however ongoing expenditure is kept under close control, cash flow is regularly monitored, and the continued development of the site is carried out only when funding is available.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure, which would be between approximately £40,000 to £80,000 based on current expenditure levels. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. It is recognised by the trustees that it may take some time to build this level of available reserves. As at the year-end free reserves amounted to £5,802 (2024: £14,659).

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission on 8 August 2022. It is governed by its Constitution, as agreed by the members on 5 August 2022. Its principal address is Kettleburgh Lodge Farm, Kettleburgh, Suffolk, IP13 9RY.

THE NEST FARMS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Nest Farms is a CIO, registered with the Charity Commission on 8 August 2022, and governed by its Constitution dated 5 August 2022.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Constitution, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Charitable Activity income, largely Service User Fees, are accounted for in the period the service is provided.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Grants are recognised once the charity has been notified of the award and the amount is reasonably certain, unless performance conditions require deferral of some or all of the amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and equipment 25% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
