Structure, Governance and Management

Hope for Children Education was registered with the Charity Commission on 27 January 2025. The charity is governed by its Constitution and managed by a Board of Trustees, who are responsible for ensuring that the charity operates in accordance with its charitable objectives and relevant legislation.

During the reporting period, the trustees met regularly to oversee the establishment of the charity, develop governance arrangements, approve policies and plan future charitable activities. No trustee received remuneration or reimbursement of expenses during the period.

The charity had no employees during the reporting period and relied entirely on the voluntary commitment of its trustees and volunteers.

Charitable Objectives

The charity exists to advance education and relieve poverty by supporting children, young people and families, particularly those from disadvantaged communities. It seeks to improve educational opportunities, wellbeing and community participation through inclusive programmes, partnerships and community engagement.

Activities and Achievements

As this was the charity's first reporting period, significant effort was devoted to establishing the organisation, developing governance arrangements and preparing for future programme delivery.

Key achievements included:

Independent Examiner's Report

I report on the accounts of Hope for Children Education for the period ended 5 October 2025, which are set out in this report.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this accounting period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to examine the accounts in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention that gives me reasonable cause to believe that:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
