THE ALEXANDRA GRACE HALLEY FOUNDATION CIO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s constitution, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
INCORPORATION
The Alexandra Grace Halley Foundation, the CIO was registered with the Charity Commission on 29 June 2023 and commenced trading on the same date.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), as set out in its constitution dated 13 March 2023, are to the relief of those in need by way of disability and special educational needs of children residing in the London area through the provision of awarding grants to borough councils, primary schools and secondary schools where statutory funding does not cover.
Public benefit
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit whilst reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its activities during the period. The trustees consider that the charity's grant-making and fundraising activities provide direct public benefit to children with disabilities and special educational needs and to the wider communities in which the supported projects are delivered.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The principal achievement of the period was the award of grants totalling £26,000 in support of two London-based community projects directly benefiting children with disabilities and special educational needs:
- £11,000 to the London Borough of Islington toward installation of an accessible roundabout, accessible trampoline and memorial bench at Fortune Street Park, EC1, providing inclusive play facilities for disabled children and their families. - £15,000 toward the Haringey Children and Young People's Health Hub Sensory Garden Redevelopment, providing a therapeutic outdoor space for children and young people accessing the Hub's services.
Fundraising activities
The trustees also delivered three successful fundraising events during the period (Annual Charity Ball, Old Bowls Pavilion, Alex's Anyway 5K) and maintained an active online giving programme, building a sustainable income base for future grant-making.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the period the charity received total income of £27,613 (of which £3,569 was restricted to the Haringey CYP Health Hub Sensory Garden Redevelopment, received from The Tides Foundation) and incurred total expenditure of £37,866, comprising £26,000 of charitable grants (£11,000 Fortune Street Park and £15,000 Haringey Sensory Garden) and £11,866 of fundraising and support costs. The net movement on funds was a deficit of £10,253, reflecting the planned draw down of restricted reserves brought forward. At the period end the charity holds total funds of £88,343.
The trustees' policy is to hold reserves at a level sufficient to meet the charity's outstanding restricted project commitments as they fall due, and to maintain a modest unrestricted working balance to cover ongoing operating costs and to enable the trustees to respond to future grant-making opportunities. The reserves position is reviewed at each board meeting and formally at the year-end. No fund is materially in deficit at the period end. The trustees consider the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future therefore the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
Surplus cash is held on deposit at The Co-operative Bank.
The charity holds no investments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1. 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), FRS 102, the Charities Act 2011 and the charity's constitution. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical 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 measured reliably.
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 cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular 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 objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted fund
The charity maintains two restricted funds during the year:
Fortune Street Park restricted fund
This fund represents donations and grants received specifically for the provision of accessible play equipment at Fortune Street Park, EC1 (London Borough of Islington). During the year £11,000 was paid from the Fortune Street Park restricted fund in support of an accessible roundabout, accessible trampoline and memorial bench.
Haringey CYP Health Hub Sensory Garden Redevelopment fund
This fund represents income of £3,569 restricted by the donor, The Tides Foundation, to the redevelopment of the sensory garden at the Haringey Children and Young People's Health Hub. During the year, £3,569 of restricted expenditure was applied to this project. The trustees also used £11,431 of unrestricted funds to support the total £15,000 payment made towards the project.
Restricted funds are accounted for separately from unrestricted funds, and any unspent balances are carried forward as restricted reserves until they are used for their specified purpose.
