The reduced deficit was primarily due to increased donation and subscription income combined with a reduction in expenditure due to the staff vacancy. However, grant spending was higher than the budget of £57,420 al £83,562 due to increased demand on the service. As at 31 st December 2025 there were £12,752 of grants awarded but not yel paid out due lo wailing for relevant details from beneficiaries. Page 13

Stsff feed into and tske direction from the SPCT Board to ensLFre the smooth njnning of the Trust and the meetsng of agreed objectives. In addition, Trustees, Funding Panel members and Champions volunteer their lime to support the Trust. f. Risk management The Trust contsnues lo maintsin robust systems lo manage risk. Tiuslees review the Risk Management Policy and Business Continuity Plan every year, or sooner rf there is a significant change in risk type or exposure. The Trust maintains a risk register which is reviewed at least quarterly. The followng medium risks were continued from 2024 into 2025 and there were no high risks identified. Mitigation is in place to reduce their impact on the organisatitsn-. Capacity of stsff or loss of key stsff - the Trust primarily relies on a small part-tsme stsff team to deliver it5 seNices. 2025 was a very challenging year for the staff team. This was mainty due to the Trust Adviser vacancy and recruitmenuinduclion in the first half of the year, and the subscription increase comms that led to a significant uplift in enquiries and complex cases coming forward. However, the team were delennined lo ensure that every member contacting the Trust was treated with the same high level of seryice. The team remained positive and supportive lo each other and the members, with continued effecb've service delivery al the forefront. They embodied the T¥usl's values of compassionate, fair. inclusive and professional. This can be demonstrat￿ by the excellent survey responses from members, with 100Yo saying they would recommend the service to others. While mitwation measures have been put in place, there remains a risk to se￿ICe delivery should there be any long-term leave or extended vacancy within the team. The staff are employed by Sussex Police and effectively seconded to the Trust. Al their pay grades there is a one-month notice per¢od, which puts pressure on team capacity when there is a vacancy. Recruitment can lake several months, primarily due lo the length of lime to receive vetting clearance. However, in 2025 the outgoing Twst Adviser provided a reduced level of pasd support for an additional month to assist wilh workload, which was very welcomed. Operational income- Trustees anlicipale an annual budget deficit for the foreseeable future bul are mindful of and working towards the longer-term aim lo set a balanced budget. The Trust has a ￿enty-year financial sustainability plan. The significant increase in grants paid oul in and the employers National Insurance increase has had a bud9elary impact in 2025, only offset due lo the reduced salary costs during the Trust Adviser vacancy. Trustees are expecting the cost of grants to continue lo increase in the future. Monthly subscriptions were increased on 1 st November 2025 from £2.50 to £3.00. The aim was lo reduce the annual budget deficit rather than remove it. Please see point 4.1 for more information. Investment portfolio dividend payments have improved in the last couple of years and came in £4,380 over the target of £50.000 in 2025. The investment managers continue lo closely monitor the market to seek to ensure the dividend yield remains on or alx)ve target. Fundraising is an income stream that can be built on further, with donations for 2025 coming in 55010 over budget. Page 17

THE SUSSEX POLICE CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SUSSEX POLICE CHARITABLE TRUST {CONTINUED) Auditors, responsibilities for the audSt of the Ilnanclal slatements We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder. Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the finanoial statements as 8 whole are free from material misstatement, whether due lo Iratjd or error, 2nd to issue an Auditors. report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will a￿ayS detect a material misstslement when it exists. Misstslemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could ieasonably b8 expected lo influence Ihe economic de¢isions of users taken on the basis of these financial ststements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with OLFr responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misslalements in respect of irregularib'es, including fraud. The extent lo whi¢h our procedures are Capable of detecting irregulartlies, including fraud is detsiled below". Extent to whlch the audit wa$ eonsldèrèd ¢apable of doto¢ting irrogularitio$, including frnud The objectives of our audiL in respect to fraud, are. to identify and assess the llsks of mateTial misstatement of the financial statements due lo fraud," to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misslatemenl due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses", and to respond appropriately lo fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with govemance of the entity and ils management. Our approach was as follows: We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, and through discussion with the directors and other management las required by auditing standards), and discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations., We identified the following areas as those most likely lo have such an effect.. health and safety., General Data Protection Regulation IGDPRI., fraud.. bribery and corruption and employment law. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures lo identify non-compliance with these laws and regulatsons to enquiry of the trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly applicable to the financial stalements reporting framework {FRS 102 and the Charitses Act 20111 and the relevant lax compliance regulations in the UK., We considered the nature of the group's operations, the control environment and business performance, including the key drivers for management's rernuneralion.. We Communicat￿ identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indicats'ons of non-compliance throughout the audit., We considered the procedures and controls that the group has established to address risks idents'fied, or that otherwise prevent, deter and delecl fraud., and how senior management monitors those programmes and controls.

THE SUSSEX POLICE CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SUSSEX POLICE CHARITABLE TRUST ICONTINUEDI Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures lo idenb.ly non4ompliance with such laws and regulation5. Where the risk was considered lo be higher, we performed audit proceduies lo address each Identified fraud risk These procedures included". lesling manual joumals." reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing lo supporting documenlalion," performing analytical procedures", and enquiring of management, and were designed lo provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. Owng lo the inherent limitations of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstslemenls in the financial slalements. even though we have propedy planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. FOT example, the further removed non-compliance with laws alid regulations lirregulariliesl is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slalemenls, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would idenb.fy it. The iisk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than eiror. as fraud involves intentional conTralment, forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresenlalion We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and Cannol be expected to detect non<omp1iance with all laws and regulations.
