This year proved that more than ever. Cascades Shopping Centre has been kind to us and our mission, giving us access to a unit free of charge for the past two years. But the terms were always that we would move to make way for paying tenants. And this year, that time came. When we were given notice, Clare found us an alternative within days - a new space on Kingswell Path, almost within sight from our old location. Our amazing volunteers turned up after the shopping centre closed and moved everything - racking, furniture, stock - in a single evening. Many hands made light work, and we opened in our new home with barely a day's disruption. I couldn't have been prouder. But the short-term move was only part of the story. Clare then spent months negotiating our longterm future, exploring options with Portsmouth City Council and Cascades. I'm delighted to say we've secured a two-year rent-free agreement at our new unit. We're investing in proper heating and fire safety upgrades to make the space warm and welcoming. This security and stability let us dream a little bigger. Clare is working with leadership coach Liz Jewell on strategy - including understanding our members and community better through research planned for early this year. This year we've welcomed Clive Green as Treasurer and Dr Alex Tymon to the board. Sam Jones has joined as Hub Lead. I also want to thank Genna Handley and Samantha Kynes, who are stepping down as trustees this year. They've both contributed so much to SHARE's development, and we're grateful they've offered to stay in touch and continue supporting us. Thank you to Clare for her determination - the premises negotiations alone would have tested anyone. Thank you to our wonderful staff and volunteers who give their time so generously. And thank you to everyone who borrows, repairs, and shares with us. Every item you borrow instead of buy, every repair that keeps something out of landfill - that's what makes SHARE work. Looking ahead, we have room to grow. Two years of security, a dedicated team, and a supportive community - we're ready to do more. SHARE is part of a growing movement across the UK, with more communities starting their own sharing and repair projects. Together, we're not just fixing things - we're building a different way of living, here in the city and further afield. Benjamin Leveritt Chair of Trustees Share (Portsmouth) Page 2 of 16 ## **Introduction** The trustees of the charity present their report with financial statements of the charity for the period from 01 January to 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). ## **Structure, Governance & Management** ## **Governing Document** The charitable incorporated organisation was registered with the Charity Commission on 03 November 2022. It is governed by a constitution, last amended on 03 November 2022. ## **Organisational Structure** The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The dayto-day running of the charity is delegated to the CEO, who supervises staff and other volunteers. New trustees are appointed after visiting the charity, being interviewed by existing trustees and attending a trustee meeting. Trustees are elected each year at the AGM and normally hold office until the following AGM but may also be co-opted onto the board until the next AGM. New trustees are provided with the constitution, previous trustee minutes, relevant policies and procedures, and an existing trustee acts as a ‘buddy’ for the first few months. ## **Objectives** _The Objects of the Charity are:_ - 1) to promote and safeguard the environment for the public benefit in Portsmouth and the surrounding area, by working to prevent and minimise waste disposal, reduce carbon emissions and raw material use through the provision and support of community resource sharing, re-use and repair initiatives. - 2) the advancement of the education of the public regarding the protection of the environment and sustainable living in Portsmouth and the surrounding area, through the sharing, repairing and re-use of products. _The Values of the Charity are:_ - a) Open - b) Kind - c) Simple ## **Activities, Achievements and Performance** 2025 has seen us continue to build on our pilot stage and be able to focus on building Library membership, develop our marketing strategy, expand workshops and take repair out to new audiences. The year was also marked by a need to move unit with everyone rising to the challenge and turning everything around in under a month, with no need to close – quite an achievement! Share (Portsmouth) Page 3 of 16 **Repair Café Portsmouth** continues to enable people to get help to fix rather than ditch their broken things, whether that’s household electricals, toys, jewellery, IT, fabric etc. But the key is that those that bring their items in become “The repair cafe is brilliant! I’ve had 2 suitcases mended - so much better than having to take them to landfill- everyone is really friendly and highly skilled - thank you repair cafe!” _**Sarah**_ co-repairers, learning more about their items and helping with the fixes. We continue to input data into the Open Repair Alliance Dataset, to support lobbying for changes around Right to Repair. During the year we saw 1,165 items and managed to help fix 67%, saving 12,113 kg CO2 and 1,690 kg of waste for residents. **Portsmouth Library of Things** had a good second year with a further 463 members joining. Members borrowed 1,600 items, saving £130,810 and 95,949 kg CO2, and the library stock grew to “Absolutely thrilled to borrow a fold up just over 700 things. Most borrowed pull along trailer. I travelled 192 miles items include the thermal imaging on a train round trip without fuss. cameras, carpet washers, sanders, 10/10 for the service, the product and drills and folding tables. how easy it was to become a member.” kg CO2, and the library stock grew to just over 700 things. Most borrowed items include the thermal imaging cameras, carpet washers, sanders, drills and folding tables. _**Paula**_ **Workshops** have continued to include the Thermal Imaging Camera workshops in conjunction with Switched On Portsmouth as well as our Women’s DIY Skill Share. Each hour and a half session is for women, by women, and currently include Drilling 101, Plugs 101 & Sawing 101. 43 women participated in the DIY series, and we’re excited to launch a wider range in 2026 with support from Vivid Plus. These will be accessible to The trainers were a brilliant mix of expert, friendly and encouraging. It felt like a truly safe and happy learning environment. I loved it! everyone, and we’ll be developing our Taps 101 and two Decorating 101 sessions with support from the Partnership Foundation. _**Anon**_ In January, we ran the city’s second **E-waste Amnesty Week** , building on the launch in 2025. We continued to promote the city map of places to donate, sell, repair or recycle unwanted small electrical items, and this has become a useful resource throughout the year for people. January also saw the launch of our new website which has made it easier and clearer for people to understand what we do, as well as now including a ‘Repair Booking Request’ page. We’ve developed a **marketing** plan and are now more strategic in how we communicate, using radio interviews, podcasts, newspaper articles, social media content, attending community events across the city, and visiting Foodbanks, Food Pantries and Stay & Play groups with our Outreach team, funded by the Post Code Lottery. Share (Portsmouth) Page 4 of 16 Our Founder & CEO has continued to engage with the **national work** on Repair & Reuse, including gaining our Portsmouth North MP’s support at this year’s Repair Café in Parliament, and volunteering and presenting at International FixFest 2026. This year saw us increasing our work with others to **take repair to more unusual places** . Working with Southampton Repair Café, we ran a Repair Café as part of Kingfisher’s Head Office Sustainability Day, having great conversations with B&Q Senior Management about repairability and exploring on-site borrowing facilities for staff. We worked with the Hampshire Repair Café Network to create the first Boomtown Repairium, providing an on-site repair site for 80,000 festival goers, mainly aged 18-26 in their glorious South Downs location in August. As well as repairing 434 items (a lot of shoes, inflatable mattresses, sunglasses, bags and trolleys) we promoted community repair groups across the UK, shared skills and got wide media coverage, including BBC Breakfast & BBC News. Clare has spoken at Fixfest about the event and recorded podcasts, encouraging others to explore large event opportunities, and we’ll be heading back there next year. At the end of the year, we ran our first Repair Café on the Portsmouth University campus, which was well received and a stepping stone to more opportunities in 2026. As well as a lot of great work, we also faced an enormous challenge in September, when we heard the news that we would need to vacate **our unit** within the month. We can’t thank Casdcades Shopping Centre owners enough for allowing us to move to a different empty unit, and the enormous help that we had from volunteers and the community to turn the unit around in just two weeks! From volunteers who painted, plumbed and shifted rubbish, to Portsmouth Good Gym and the local community who turned up one evening and moved our 700 Library items across the centre and up stairs witin our unit in just 45 minutes! As we end the year we’re settling into the new space and receiving many compliments about our new home. As with last year, it’s hard to express our thankfulness for all the work of the amazing **volunteers and staff** that have supported the charity throughout the year. We continue to have a strong team of volunteers who regularly help deliver the Repair Café and Library of Things sessions at the hub and community pop-up events. Alongside that we have volunteers who help behind the scenes with marketing, book-keeping, window design, sign writing, graphic design, system development and fundraising. We continue to partner with Hive Portsmouth and the University of Portsmouth to build our volunteer team and give opportunities for building confidence and education to a diverse range of people. Staff and volunteers participated in a day of PAT training, to increase our skill base in that area. We continue to see volunteers leave, mainly as they have found employment, having built confidence through volunteering. Share (Portsmouth) Page 5 of 16 ## **Financial Review** The results for the year and the company’s financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. Total incoming resources for the year were £133,166. Net incoming resources were £9,151. Reserves at 31[st] December 2025 were £71,850, including £31,828 restricted). ## **Risk Management** Financial sustainability and the charity’s financial model remain a key risk, given its dependency on grant income. Having identified the basic core team and associated costs that are needed to operate the charity, income generation focusses on securing funding for this; with additional project specific expenditure, including associated staffing costs, only committed once funding has been secured. The financial position is kept under scrutiny, through regular management accounts, cashflow forecast and monitoring of the charity’s pipeline of potential and actual grant/funding applications. Ensuring the wellbeing of a small team to deliver a significant workload is also a key area on the board’s agenda. A risk log for the projects and hub is continuously reviewed and mitigations put in place as available, such as insurance cover, DBS checks, PAT and training. ## **Reserves Policy** The trustees recognise the value and importance of having reserves in place and aims to have reserves equivalent of six months of operating costs. At 31[st] December 2025, free reserves amounted to £40,022. Our forecast expenditure for 2026 plans is £54,345 with secured funding for the next 2 years from Reaching Communities covering this expenditure, and we will build our reserves and increase our income streams to build sustainability. ## **Principal Funding Sources** The charity’s main source of income is grant funding and gifts-in-kind, with additional income coming from donations for repairs, donations and membership to the Library of Things, regular donors and Gift Aid. Our membership and donations currently only just about cover our ancillary costs, but we aim to be more self-sufficient in the future and less reliant on grants. In the interim, funders are a critical source of income and currently a major funder is National Lottery (Reaching Communities). Their funding has been key in enabling us to negotiate our next two years at Cascades, allowing us to focus on growth during that time. During this year we completed the first of three years of funding, so how are we doing against their goals for us after the first year? |**Annual Goal**|**Baseline**|**’24 – ’25 Outcome**|**Comment**| |---|---|---|---| |20% increase in items

We are confident that these trends will increase, especially with the support of our amazing community and members who continue to use our services and spread the word – we do it for and with you. ## **Environmental Impact** Environmental sustainability is at the heart of our charity, and whether making decisions at a trustee meeting or in day-to-day matters, we constantly have the planet sitting at the table to recognise our impact and continually look to learn from others on how to improve and reduce our environmental impact. ## **Plans for the Future** We’re grateful for the continued support from the National Lottery Reaching Communities fund and Cascades Shopping Centre, providing time to grow and improve the charity’s financial sustainability. We will be looking to get some security for staying in our new location for a period of time to reduce confusion with moves for the public. The focus for 2026 continues to be around building our Library Membership and usage, alongside developing our workshops with support from Vivid Plus and the Partnership Foundation. These are both areas where income could be increased to improve our financial sustainability, and to address the identified needs in our community. We will also be doing our first membership survey to our Library members to understand more about motivations and desired improvements, as well as asking non-members about barriers to engagement. We will look to increase accessibility to our Library by exploring potential alternative pick-up locations, after having researched lockers this year and finding them to be financially unsustainable at this stage. We intend to maintain our existing connections with local community groups, businesses and the Council and continue to improve our links with the University, Royal Navy and Refugee and Asylum Seeker groups in the city. ## **Declaration** The Trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 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 01 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historic 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 reliably measured. ## **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 costs relating to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund Accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable activities at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## **2. TRUSTEES’ REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS** There were no trustees’ remuneration or other benefits for the year ended 31 December 2025. ## **Trustees’ Expenses** There were no trustees’ expenses paid for the year ended 31 December 2025.

62,699| **Portsmouth City Council –** funding from their Easy Travel Fund allowing us to reimburse bus fares for our members, co-repairers and workshop attendees, to encourage and build confidence in bus travel. **Partnership Foundation** – funding to develop two additional elements of our DIY Skill Share series (Taps 101 & Decorating 101) as well as a small bursary to cover hidden costs such as childcare to make the workshops more accessible. This was delayed with their permission, due to staff changes and our unit move, but is due to comment in 2026. **Reaching Communities** – National Lottery funding which has been secured for three years to build on the initial pilot phase, so we can support more people and grow our impact. We aim to implement a more sustainable model that will continue to benefit the community long after this initial grant period. **Southampton University** – funding for interns. From Autumn 2023 to Spring 2024 we employed a Sustainability Marketing Intern who focused on developing our social media presence further, as well as working on other areas of marketing. At the end of 2025 we employed a Sustainability Projects Intern who will be analysing our Library Membership for trends and creating a member and nonmember survey, alongside some additional operational actions until Spring 2026.

We received funds from Cobb Charity, Winchester Repair Café, Hayling Island Repair Café and Southampton Repair Café as well as donations from those that brought items to the Repairium. Boomtown covered the cost of the marquee. **Postcode Lottery** – funding for core costs and was key in funding outreach work in 2025 to build awareness of the projects, as well as costs relating to our unit move. **Cobb Charity –** funding to cover some increased costs linked with launching our workshops. **Lush** –Charity Pot funding used to support the launch of our hub and costs that others were less inclined to support, such as utilities and systems. **Awards for All** – National Lottery funding which has been key in enabling us to employ our Operations Co-Ordinator this year to develop all our new systems and ensure the smooth running of the hub, as well as providing funding for volunteer training and expenses. **Portsmouth Lottery** – funding to develop and launch the first three elements of our Women’s DIY Skill Share series, which include Drilling 101, Sawing 101 & Plugs 101. **City Greening Fund** – a Portsmouth City Council fund specifically focused on increasing our Library items that help community groups and individuals across the city improve biodiversity. **Time After Time E-waste Fund** – provided by Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub, which is for a specific project aimed at understanding why residents hold onto electrical and electronic waste and has developed a map of places around the city for repairing, selling, donating, and recycling e-waste. The project continues into next year and will include the city’s first e-waste amnesty week. **ORIT** – Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust funding which supported the increase of tools and costs relating to improving home insulation to residents’ homes, e.g. a Thermal Imaging Camera.
