March **2012** **TAR** 2 Our Trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance and public benefit framework in establishing activities for the public benefit and reporting on them. In this, our first (extended) year of operation our primary activities have included: 1.

Strategy: developing a strategy through which the SurrogacyUK Foundation will pursue its objects and achieve public benefit 4.

March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** We made a small but positive start to our charitable activities from our incorporation in October 2023 to the completion of our first full year of operations in December 2025. Our activities include: ## **Operations and administration** - opening a bank account - establishing our IT infrastructure - registering with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) - registering with the Fundraising Regulator - registering with the Premium Rate Service to support charitable donations by SMS/phone - registering with the Charities Aid Foundation, JustGiving and DONATE as our primary fundraising platforms. ## **Fundraising** We established the above channels for fundraising for our charity and raised funds to support our start-up and initial development of our Resources Website (see below). ## **Strategy** Trustees worked together to develop a strategy to support the charity’s achievement of its objectives, establishing its values and ways of working. Our strategy includes a set of goals across the first three years of the charity’s operations and will be reviewed in 2025. ## **Soft launch** In April 2024 we undertook a ‘soft launch’ of our charity through social media channels and at SurrogacyUK’s annual conference. Since that soft launch we have been building a mailing list of individuals interested to receive updates about the charity. ## **Resources website** Our core goal is to support the public’s understanding of surrogacy. We want to provide accurate, trustworthy resources and make information about surrogacy easily accessible to: - the general public, including people with a personal interest in surrogacy - professionals including lawyers, educators, midwives and people involved in the children’s and families court services (CAFCAS) - stakeholders in surrogacy including legislators and policy makers. In late 2024 we hosted a filming day and invited people to share their lived experience of surrogacy with us, on film, for the public benefit. We are editing those videos for publication in Spring 2025: they will be the first elements of a resources website which we hope will be amplify voices in the surrogacy community and educate people and society about surrogacy. ## **Looking ahead** Now that the foundations of our charity have been established, we intend, through 2025, to: - continue to develop our resources website, building content relevant to all audiences and finding ways to reach those audiences, including through social media - refine our strategy, ensuring that we can focus our available resources on activities that most directly further our charitable objects - increase our fundraising activities March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance - establish ways of working effectively with volunteers - • finalise and publish core policies for the charity including `o` ethical fundraising policy `o` reserves policy `o` complaints policy `o` Trustee Code of Conduct. March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Pending development of a formal reserves policy, Trustees have resolved to maintain a cash balance of at least £500 to support an orderly wind-down of the charity in the unlikely event that becomes necessary. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; All of our revenue to date is from donations from private individuals. Our most significant expenditure has been on activities relating to development of our ‘Resources Website’ which will be launch in 2025.

We have also incurred expenses relating to: - website hosting - ICO, Fundraising Regulator and other registrations. - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** None ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** Linder Pott (Mar 31, 2025 08:26 GMT+1) **Full name(s)** Linder Pott Alan White **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Trustee **etc) Date** 03/31/2025 03/31/2025 March **2012** **TAR** 6 ## 2024 - SurrogacyUKFoundation 2025 - Trustees Annual Report Final Audit Report 2025-03-31 Created: 2025-03-31 By: Alan White (alan@highercapacity.co.uk) Status: Signed Transaction ID: CBJCHBCAABAAnUaHIZxxv05yDch6_aG3me_BugXkrm07 ## "2024 - SurrogacyUKFoundation 2025 - Trustees Annual Report " History Document created by Alan White (alan@highercapacity.co.uk) 2025-03-31 - 7:21:50 AM GMT- IP address: 90.197.12.210 Document emailed to linder.pott@surrogacyukfoundation.org for signature 2025-03-31 - 7:21:55 AM GMT - Document emailed to alan.white@surrogacyukfoundation.org for signature 2025-03-31 - 7:21:55 AM GMT Email viewed by alan.white@surrogacyukfoundation.org 2025-03-31 - 7:24:45 AM GMT- IP address: 90.197.12.210 - Signer alan.white@surrogacyukfoundation.org entered name at signing as Alan White 2025-03-31 - 7:25:43 AM GMT- IP address: 90.197.12.210 Document e-signed by Alan White (alan.white@surrogacyukfoundation.org) Signature Date: 2025-03-31 - 7:25:45 AM GMT - Time Source: server- IP address: 90.197.12.210 Email viewed by linder.pott@surrogacyukfoundation.org 2025-03-31 - 7:26:03 AM GMT- IP address: 90.196.155.10 Signer linder.pott@surrogacyukfoundation.org entered name at signing as Linder Pott 2025-03-31 - 7:26:30 AM GMT- IP address: 90.196.155.10 Document e-signed by Linder Pott (linder.pott@surrogacyukfoundation.org) Signature Date: 2025-03-31 - 7:26:32 AM GMT - Time Source: server- IP address: 90.196.155.10 Agreement completed. 2025-03-31 - 7:26:32 AM GMT **SurrogacyUK Foundation** **----- Start of picture text -----**
