TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the The Askehave Climate Foundation CIO UK for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The comparative figures are for the period from 8 February 2024 to 31 December 2024.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The Askehave Climate Foundation CIO UK (the Charity) is devoted to the fight against the consequences of man-made climate change, by focusing on funding of:
-
Disaster relief to poor people in the developing world impacted by the climate change triggered natural disasters;
-
Initiatives advancing education in and knowledge about the means to tackle and reduce climate change, and;
-
Support for public research into technologies, methods and theories, which can help the world understand, tackle and reduce climate change and the effects hereof.
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)'.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
It is the intention and strategy of the Charity to outsource the development, execution, support, and follow-up on calls to other UK or foreign charities which have an organisational setup, structure and network that can ensure the development of calls for support, a professional application process, assessment of applications and subsequent follow up on the grants.
The cooperation and execution of the strategy is based on an application from another charity describing a theme within the Charity objectives, a list of relevant applicants, the assessment criteria and the professional committee engaged to assess the applicants. The Charity will, based on the application, make a grant to the executing charity. The grant receiving charity will run the application and assessment process, decide upon the final recipient within the framework of the grant agreement and finally fund and follow up on the selected project.
The Charity will be kept informed on the progress and development in accordance with the grant agreement.

Objectives and activities (continued)
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
During 2025 the Charity made its second grant since its establishment.
In December 2025 the Charity awarded a grant of £1,290,000 to the Danish charitable foundation Johan og Ajla Askehaves almennyttige fond til bek æ mpelse af klimaforandringer (Askehave Climate Foundation DK). The grant will fund the 2026 Askehave Climate Foundation Disaster Relief Grant.
The theme of the 2026 grant programme is ”Acute disaster relief to poor and vulnerable people in Southeast Asia and Oceania based on an anticipatory action model, where the grant is intended to be utilised specifically as fuel funding for already established anticipatory action mechanisms in one or several countries”.
Askehave Climate Foundation DK is responsilble for administering the grant programme and managing the application and selection process. During 2025 four international humanitarian organisations were invited by Askehave Climate Foundation DK to submit proposals based on their expertise in anticipatory disaster response. The final recipient will be selected by the board of trustees of Askehave Climate Foundation DK in March 2026.
The project funded through this grant is expected to be implemented during the period 2026-2028.
In addition to approving the 2025 grant, the trustees reviewed reports received from Askehave Climate Foundation DK concerning the grant awarded in December 2024. Following the selection of a project by the partner foundation in 2025, the supported activities commenced during the year.
The trustees also reviewed the application submitted by Askehave Climate Foundation DK and ensured that the grant arrangements are governed by a formal grant agreement setting out reporting, oversight and compliance requirements.
d. Grant-making policies
The Charity has adopted a grant-making policy outlining:
-
Funding priorities;
-
The qualified applicants;
-
The types of cost to be funded by the Charity;
-
Co-funding policies;
-
The decision-making process;
-
The due diligence process;
-
Reporting requirements, and;
-

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Objectives and activities (continued)
e. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit
The Charity furthers its purposes for the public benefit primarily through the provision of grants to charitable organisations working to address climate-related themes as described in the section "Objectives and activities - Policies and objectives" above.
The Charity has so far worked in partnership with Askehave Climate Foundation DK, which administers a structured grant programme designed to identify high-impact projects delivered by experenced humanitarian organisations. Through this model the Charity supports initiatives that strengthen anticipatory disaster response mechanisms aimed at protecting poor and vulnerable populations exposed to climate-related disasters.
The trustees maintain oversight of the use of funds through regular reporting from the partner foundation - currently Askehave Climate Foundation DK - and by reviewing progress reports on funded activities. During 2025 the trustees reviewed reports relating to the Oxford University project selected under the 2024 grant round, which commenced implementation during the year.
In carrying out their duties the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and consider that the Charity's grant-making activities provide clear public benefit by supporting humanitarian initiatives designed to reduce the impacts of climate-realted disasters on vulnerable communities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
During 2025 the Charity continued to pursue its charitable purposes through its annual grant-making activities. In 2025 it focused on climate-related humanitarian response.
The Charity awarded a grant of £1,290,000 to Askehave Climate Foundation DK to support the 2026 Askehave Climate Disaster Relief Grant. The programme is designed to support anticipatory disaster response mechanisms aimed at protecting poor vulnerable populations exposed to climate-related disasters in Southeast Asia and Oceania.
The grant will enable an experienced humanitarian organisation to implement activities during the period 20262028 that strengthen early reponse mechanisms and improve the ability of vulnerable communities to prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters.
In addition, the Charity monitored progress in relation to the project funded under the 2024 grant round, which commenced implementation in 2025.
b. Review of activities
During 2025 the trustees reviewed reports received from Askehave Climate Foundation DK relating to the grat awarded byy the Charity in December 2024. Following the selection of a project by the partner foundation in 2025, the supported activities commmenced during the year. The trustees reviewed the reports in order to monitor progress and ensure that the grant continues to be applied in furtherance of the Charity's purposes.
During the year the trustees also considered an application from Askehave Climate Foundation DK for funding of the 2026 Askehave Climate Foundation Disaster Relief Grant. The trustees assessed the application and ensured that the proposed grant arrangements would be governed by a formal agreement including reporting, oversight and compliance requirements.
In December 2025 the Charity made its second grant since establishment, awarding £1,290,000 to Askhave Climate Foundation DK. The partner foundation administers the application and selection process and invited four international humanitarian organisations to submit proposals. The final recipient is expected to be selected in March 2026, and the supported project will be implemented during the period 2026-2028.
c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives
Having adopted an outsourcing strategy for accomplishing the objectives of the Charity, the ability to identify and access the quality and capabilities of the organisations capable of fulfilling the requirements for describing a theme within the Charity objectives, finding the relevant applicants, defining the assessment criteria and assessing applications via a professional assessment committee is the key critical factor relevant for the Charity’s ability to achieve the objectives of the Charity.
d. Investment policy and performance
The Charity’s funds are expected to be distributed for grants in accordance the Charity objectives within 12 to 24 months after being received by the Charity. Long- and medium-term investment of the Charity’s funds are hence not feasible. It is the policy to seek the best available interest for on demand deposits.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ASKEHAVE CLIMATE FOUNDATION CIO UK
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Askehave Climate Foundation CIO UK (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 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).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 charity 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 charity'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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ASKEHAVE CLIMATE FOUNDATION CIO UK (CONTINUED)
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 are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

THE ASKEHAVE CLIMATE FOUNDATION CIO UK
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ASKEHAVE CLIMATE FOUNDATION CIO UK (CONTINUED)
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 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 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 identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we have:
-
considered the nature of the industry and sectors, control environment and business performance;
-
made enquires of management about their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities;
-
performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries
-
and other adjustments for appropriateness and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
-
undertaken appropriate sample based testing of bank transactions;
-
identified and evaluated compliance with relevant laws and regulations and made enquiries of any instances of non-compliance;
-
discussed matters among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
Due to 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 non-compliance. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. General information
The Askehave Climate Foundation CIO UK is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charities Commission. Its registered office address is Aston House, Cornwall Avenue, London, N3 1LF.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), rounded to the nearest £1.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Askehave Climate Foundation CIO UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
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 Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Expenditure (continued)
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.5 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.
2.6 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 Charity 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.
2.7 Financial instruments
The Charity 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.
2.8 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 Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
