Objectives and Activities

and the advancement of integrated health care in such manner as is exclusively charitable, for the benefit of the public, including but not limited to educating the public about the benefits of nutritional health care and promoting study and research in such subjects provided that the useful results of such study are disseminated to the public at large.

Funding Strategy

In November 2024, the Trustees carried out a strategic review to clarify how the Foundation could best deliver its mission of improving health and wellbeing through better nutrition. The review brought together

The review highlighted concerns about persistently poor diet quality among adolescents and the earlier emergence of diet-related health conditions. Trustees also considered the role of secondary schools in shaping food habits, noting that school environments can make healthy choices difficult, but also offer significant potential for change.

As a result, Trustees agreed to focus grantmaking more intentionally on secondary school communities, supporting practical, evidencenutrition knowledge and skills.

Food and nutrition in secondary school communities

challenge of improving food and nutrition for young people. The Trustees aim for young people to leave secondary school having experienced healthy food and a positive food culture; with stronger nutrition knowledge; the ability to make healthy choices in the context of advertising and the wider food environment; and the skills to cook healthy meals from scratch.

~~2~~ 028 is on deepening impact, supporting collaboration, and building and sharing the evidence base for what works - particularly where this strengthens the link between learning from practice and policy influence, and helps extend reach into under-served regions and communities.

Nutrition in health settings

Alongside its focus on secondary schools, NWF continues to support existing partners working to integrate nutrition into healthcare and community health systems. The Trustees plan to develop a Phase 2 approach by mid-2026, exploring opportunities such as strengthening the role of nutrition within prevention and social prescribing, and supporting training and education for health professionals.

Grant Making Policy

each year. NWF supports charitable organisations whose work aligns with our priorities, and we do not fund individuals. We also do not accept unsolicited applications; instead, Trustees and staff actively identify organisations that closely match our strategic focus. This is done through research, scoping work, conversations with experts and practitioners, and recommendations from partners, grantees and other funders.

The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation For the Year Ended 31 August 2025

As a signatory to the IVAR Open and Trusting Grantmaking initiative, we are committed to working in a transparent, respectful and collaborative way. We aim to minimise unnecessary burdens on organisations: we only invite information when there is a genuine possibility of funding, and we ask for material proportionate to the stage of the relationship. We listen carefully to what organisations tell us they need and, where appropriate, offer unrestricted or broadly restricted funding. Where groups reach the final stage of our process but are not ultimately funded, we make a small charitable donation in recognition of their time.

We are open about how we work. We communicate the likelihood of funding early, publish all grants through 360Giving, and provide clear notice when funding relationships come to an end. We also seek anonymous feedback to help us improve our practice.

Collaboration is central to our ethos. We encourage cooperation between grantees, invest time in -term partnerships based on trust. We work with other funders who share our goals and take a learning-focused approach to monitoring and evaluation, prioritising reflection and shared learning over formal reporting.

Looking ahead, we will continue to embed the Open and Trusting principles in our work, strengthen collaboration with other funders, and deepen our learning from the organisations and communities we support.

Grants

During the 2024/25 year, NWF awarded nine new programme grants, which were largely three-year commitments, and these totalled £993,317. During the year we paid out £582,679 in grants, including second and third instalments of multi-year grants made in previous years.

Our grant programme brings together organisations working across the system to improve nutrition and longterm health, with a focus on secondary schools and health settings.

Secondary school communities

Each organisation we fund in this space has a distinct focus, but together they form a coordinated portfolio

Our grants span four core themes:

Our Ethos

In a world of increasing chronic disease, we empower people to live longer and

better .

We do this by:

As a management team and a business, we believe products we sell help people with health issues and help prevent health issues as part of a healthy lifestyle, the education and information we provide support people in their journey with a specific issue or whether they are trying to live a healthier life, and all the money we make as a business is available for the charity to spend on good causes that assist others. We are on a three-year strategic cycle to achieve a turnover of £15 million by 2027 and create positive change for over 80k people a year.

Cytoplan is focused on creating and distributing the most Bio-effective supplements on the market, which means our products contain nutrients designed to be as easily absorbed as possible by the body and then specifically targeted for their intended purpose.

practitioner-recommended; they are tried and tested by thousands of health professionals every day to support their patients' needs.

We understand that two major needs are driving our customers to shop with us:

  1. Therapeutic: Customers have specific issues, such as joint concerns or digestive problems that our products can help resolve.

  2. Preventative : Customers are generally healthy but are taking active steps to maintain their well-being through diet and lifestyle changes, and our products are part of these changes.

Both customer groups love life and aim to be healthier for longer by taking our products.

Education and information have always been part of our proposition at Cytoplan, and we believe that a natural approach to looking after yourself and the decisions you make holds the key to a happier and healthier life. Therefore, we often run educational talks and webinars on how people can improve their health through diet and lifestyle changes beyond the supplements we offer.

The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 31 August 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiaries r the year ending 31 August 2025, which comprise the consolidated and parent charity Statement of Financial Activities, the consolidated and parent charity Balance Sheets, the consolidated and parent charity Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, 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:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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

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 ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original 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 the report.

The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 31 August 2025

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 11, the trustees 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 group and parent charity'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 parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

We have been appointed as auditor under the Charities Act 2011, Section 151 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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 misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the group obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 August 2025

1 General information

The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. Details of the charity including the registered office is shown in Reference and Administrative details in the Trustees Report. The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 14 July 2023 and commenced operation following the receipt of a donated company on 1 December 2023.

2 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

on public benefit. The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the Trustees are not going concern. Grants are awarded only when there are sufficient reserves and income, therefore the Trustees consider that the going concern assumption remains appropriate.

The functional currency of The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation is considered to be Pounds Sterling as that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the foundation operates.

b

Group accounts

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiaries, , with results included for the period of ownership by The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation (the group companies have a year end of 31 August, and the companies were acquired by the charity on 1 December 2023). The subsidiaries are registered companies incorporated in England and Wales.

In the parent charity financial statements, the investment in subsidiaries is accounted for at value of the issued share capital.

c

Prior period errors

The wholly owned subsidiary, Cytoplan Limited, made a prior period amendment to gross up the commissions paid. The overall effect on the SOFA for 2025 is to increase turnover by £418,015 and increase cost of sales by £418,015 (the proportion of the total that relates to the time during which Cytoplan Limited was a subsidiary). There is no impact on the profit for the year.

d Funds structure

Unrestricted funds comprise accumulated surpluses and deficits on general funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 August 2025

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies apply to categories of income:

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised/(derecognised) when the charity becomes/(ceases to become) party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The charity holds the following basic financial assets and liabilities:

Non-basic equity investments are measured at fair value through income and expenditure.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings which aggregate all costs related to the category. Grants payable represent amounts committed for charitable purposes to institutions in the financial period.

Intangible assets are amortised straight line over the useful life of the asset.

Computer software and consultancy 20% and 33.3% straight line basis

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset over its useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Land and buildings straight line over 3 to 5 years Plant and machinery straight line over 3 to 10 years Motor vehicles straight line over 5 years

The Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 August 2025

k Fixed asset investments

Investments which are publicly traded are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price (but excludes any transaction costs). Subsequently, investments which are publicly traded are held at market value, with all realised and unrealised gains and losses passing through the SOFA.

Investments which are not publicly traded are held at cost less impairment.

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Realised and unrealised gains are not separated in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Stocks

The trading subsidiaries operate a defined contribution scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. The annual contributions payable are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA). The charity itself has no employees.

The subsidiary company has an unfunded pension obligation to a director. The financial statements include a provision for the expected cost of providing this pension, based on the company assessment of the expected future liability to the company.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost within the Statement of Financial Activities.
