Objectives and Activities
Policies and objectives
The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the following:
1) to advance education for the public benefit in the language, culture and heritage of Ukraine by providing Ukrainian language classes and organising activities and events to educate and engage the public in the history, culture and traditions of Ukraine.
2) to relieve the needs of people who have been displaced by war in Ukraine and granted refugee status in the UK, particularly through the provision of signposting services, advice and support and through the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of such persons who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social circumstances.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Ukrainian St Mary’s Trust exists to support displaced Ukrainian children, young people and families in the United Kingdom through education, trauma?informed psychological support, safeguarding, and community integration. Founded on over 70 years of Ukrainian supplementary education delivered through St Mary’s Ukrainian Schools, the Trust has evolved into the UK’s largest charity dedicated specifically to Ukrainian refugee children, responding to the long?term consequences of war, displacement, disrupted education and trauma.
The year 2024–2025 marked a significant transition for the Trust: from emergency response towards sustainable, system led delivery, while demand for services continued to increase nationally.

Achievements and performance
During the year ending 31 August 2025, Ukrainian St Mary’s Trust significantly strengthened its role as a leading provider of supplementary education, cultural enrichment, and psychosocial support for displaced Ukrainian children and families in the UK. The Trust demonstrated strong organisational resilience and adaptability, responding effectively to evolving community needs while maintaining high standards of governance, safeguarding, and partnership working.
EDUCATIONAL PROVISION 2024–2025 HIGHLIGHTS:
Throughout 2024–25, the Trust continued to operate St Mary’s Ukrainian Schools across multiple locations, providing a stable, nurturing learning environment for children aged 5–15. The schools delivered a broad and balanced curriculum combining Ukrainian language education and core academic subjects with enrichment activities such as music, art, chess, and youth leadership. This approach supported both academic continuity and the preservation of cultural identity while facilitating pupils’ integration into UK society.
The schools were consistently recognised by pupils and parents as safe, inclusive spaces where children affected by war and displacement could rebuild confidence, form friendships, and develop a sense of belonging. Trauma-informed practice remained embedded across provision, reflecting the Trust’s strong commitment to safeguarding and emotional wellbeing.

Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The uncertainty around situation in Ukraine and continuous growth of risk to return home for those Ukrainians displaced to UK, meant the short-term temporary stay in UK turned into a longer one with no indications of the end date. For our organisation it meant that from a short-term response strategy, the new circumstances drove up the need for our long-term support and presented a challenging operating environment. While opening new locations, launching and scaling up our programs to respond to the needs, we had to ensure we sustain all the previous ones as well. We have continued to monitor the effects of economic turbulence on our own finances, kept our expenditure under close control and increased our fundraising activities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Structure, governance, and management
Ukrainian St Mary's Trust is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by Memorandum of Association.
The charity is governed by a Board of Trustees (directors), which retains overall responsibility for governance, strategy, compliance, and operations (Article 31). Specific powers may be delegated to committees or individuals (Article 46), but such actions must be reported to the full board. Decisions require a quorum of at least 3 trustees or one-third of the total board (whichever is greater) as set out in Article 42. Meetings are held regularly, and decisions are made collectively, with conflict-of-interest provisions observed (Article 8).
The charitable company must at any given time have 5 Trustees. During 2024-2025 the Trustees Board met 8 times. Day to day responsibility for the provision of services rests with its Headteacher Inna Hryhorovych along with other Senior and Middle leaders as well as other staff to whom work is delegated accordingly. The Chair (Nadia Vorokhib) is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and the key performance indicators are met.
Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
In accordance with Articles 34–38 of the Articles of Association, trustees may be appointed either:
-
by ordinary resolution at a general meeting, or
-
by co-option by the existing board of trustees (Article 37), with co-opted trustees retiring at the next AGM
-
unless re-elected.
In accordance with Article 35, any new trustee not retiring by rotation must be proposed in writing by a member prior to the meeting, and their appointment must be approved by an ordinary resolution at the general meeting. The charity maintains between 5 and 11 trustees (Article 28). All appointments are made in line with the best interests of the charity and based on skills and experience required by the board at the time.
Policies and procedures for induction and training of trustees
Trustees are provided with an induction pack that includes:
-
The Articles of Association
-
The charity’s current strategy and operational overview
-
Key financial and governance documents
-
Charity Commission guidance, including CC3: The Essential Trustee
The trustees have regular trustee/governor CPD through the resources available through our National College subscription, which include new and refresher training in Effective Governance, Safeguarding, Health and Safety, Diversity and SEN in school settings. Training needs are reviewed annually, and trustees are encouraged to participate in sector-relevant workshops and seminars to ensure ongoing compliance and good governance.
Fundraising
We comply with all relevant statutes and regulations, including the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003. We strive for best practice in fundraising by complying with a range of codes of practice and standards.

UKRAINIAN ST MARY'S TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
In accordance with best practice, we:
-
Monitor fundraising activity through trustee oversight and staff reporting
-
Record and respond to any complaints regarding fundraising (none received to date)
-
Ensure that vulnerable people are protected throughout all fundraising efforts
All activities are aligned with our charitable purposes, and transparency is maintained in public communications and reporting.
We are committed to making decisions that are in the best interests of the charity and, ultimately, children. We ensure that we do not compromise our mission and values when it comes to raising income and that we make decisions on whether or not to accept donations in view of relevant Charity Commission guidance.
We have continued to ensure that supporters and members of the public are afforded the highest levels of support, respect and protection. Guidance for fundraisers on treating our supporters fairly, including protecting supporters in vulnerable circumstances, is followed across all our fundraising activities.
Arrangements for setting pay and remuneration of key management personnel
Remuneration is governed by Articles 6 and 7 of the Articles of Association. Trustees serve on a voluntary basis and may not receive payment unless explicitly authorised in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and Article 7.
Key management personnel may be employed under Article 5.9, with salaries benchmarked against sector standards and reviewed by the Board of Trustees. Any remuneration is set to ensure reasonableness and compliance with charity law. Where a conflict of interest exists, the relevant individual is excluded from decisionmaking in line with Article 8.
Our Approach to Pay to Core Team
We are committed to being a kind, agile and inclusive organisation so that we can be the best version of ourselves to deliver for and with children. Securing the right people is key to delivering our strategy. One of the ways we do this is by paying our colleagues a fair salary that is competitive within the charity sector, proportionate to the complexity and responsibilities of each role, and in line with our charitable objectives. We pay all colleagues a living wage of at least £13.85 per hour in London and £12.21 per hour in the rest of the UK. This year some of the trustees and HR team attended specific recruitment training about fair and bias-free

recruitment practices as well as encouraging colleagues to update equality and monitoring information.
Members' liability
The Members of the Company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Company in the event of winding up.
Reserves
At the 31st August 2025, the total of the charity's reserves were £660,767 (2024: £599,271), of which £140,293 (2024: £242,980 is restricted) and £520,474 (2024: £356,291) is unrestricted. Of unrestricted funding, £24,546 (2024: £39,010) related to fixed assets and is not available for spending.
The Trustees monitor the reserves of the charity. This process considers the nature of all income and expenditure streams, commitments, and the nature of the reserves. The Trustees have examined the minimum requirements for free reserves which are unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets or otherwise committed. The charity intends to hold, as a minimum, a Reserve Fund equal to the sum required to run down, in a planned way, all projects over a period of three months considering monies still incoming. Currently the charity meets this aim.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and
-
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF UKRAINIAN ST MARY'S TRUST LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Ukrainian St Mary's Trust Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Company and the industry in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006, Safeguarding (including statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education), employment law and public sector pay and conditions. We enquired of management to obtain an understanding of how the Charity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks and whether they had any knowledge of actual or suspected fraud. We corroborated the results of our enquiries through our review of the board minutes for the year. We did not identify any matters relating to material non compliance with laws and regulation or matters in relation to fraud; as non-material breaches would not normally be communicated within this report.
We obtained an understanding of how the Company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures;
In assessing the potential risks of material misstatement, we obtained an understanding of the Company’s operations, including its objectives and strategies to understand the expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement;
In assessing the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team, the engagement partner considered the engagement team’s:
understanding of, and practical experience with, audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation the specialist skills required and knowledge of the industry in which the client operates.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; - identifying and testing journal entries, in particular manual journal entries made at year end for financial statement preparation; and
-
assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement item.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.
This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of

noncompliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
1. General information
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered in England & Wales. Its registered office is 154 Holland Park, London, W11 4UH.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the Company's accounting policies.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
Volunteers provide the charity with assistance with activities, such as summer camp, or IT support.

2.2 Income (continued)
2.3 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Government grants
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities upon the completion of the relevant performance-related conditions. Other grants that are not subject to performance-related conditions are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the grant proceeds are received. Grants received prior to the revenue recognition criteria being satisfied are recognised as a liability.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
| Motor vehicles | - 25% reducing balance |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | - 3 years straight line |
| Computer equipment | - 3 years straight line |
| Other fixed assets | - 3 years straight line |

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.11 Pensions
2.12 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
