GROW TO CHANGE FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 October 2025
The trustees present their Trustees' Report and the unaudited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 October 2025.
These accounts have been prepared on receipts and payment basis, as permitted for charities with gross income not exceeding £250,000, in accordance with:
-
Section 133 of charities Act 2011, and
-
Charity Commission guidance for preparing receipts and payments accounts.
The Trustees' Report contains the information required to be provided in the Trustees' Annual Report under the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines. The trustees of the charity are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the charity's constitution are known as members of the board of trustees.
In this report the trustees of GROW TO CHANGE FOUNDATION present a summary of its purpose, governance, activities, achievements and finances for the financial year 31 October 2025.
Mission, Objectives and Strategy
Continuation for the public benefit, to advance in life and help young people through:
(a) the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life;
(b) providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities, and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
Structure, Governance and Management
The trustees were appointed on formation and continue in their roles.
The key management personnel are identified as the Trustees.
Review of Achievements and Performance
During the year, the charity was unable to continue running its twice-weekly sports sessions due to a shortfall in funding; the trustees have continued to apply for grants and seek donations with the aim of resuming this provision.
Financial Review
The results for the financial year are set out on page and additional notes are provided showing income and expenditure in greater detail.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, Grow to Change Foundation still aims to raise vital funds to open a Family First Centre, an inclusive space that offers holistic support to families in need. This centre will provide tailored services addressing emotional, practical, and social challenges. Additionally, the charity plans to fund dedicated family support workers who can work directly with families facing hardship, offering early intervention and ongoing guidance. These initiatives will help extend its reach and ensure that struggling families receive the compassionate, consistent support they need to thrive together.

GROW TO CHANGE FOUNDATION STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
for the financial year ended 31 October 2025
The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the charity as at the financial year end date and of the surplus or deficit of the charity and otherwise comply with the Charities Act 2011.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

-
General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
-
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's discretion to apply the fund.

Expenditure
The expenditure of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when cash is paid by the charity. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measures for each activity.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
