## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
Plans to extend our buildings are now in process.
## _**Children Worldwide**_
This past year has seen 102 different events where a member of CW has been involved in serving the church, encouraging children’s and family’s ministry, in conferences and weekends. This number appears to still be growing through the year, with more queries coming in all the time.
CW this year will celebrate its 40th anniversary of working with the 5-7’s at Spring Harvest.
This is all on top of the regular weekly ministry that each member is doing around the country and overseas.
ReFuel is going well ... where we gather children's workers in an area and bless them with a meal. We have done run four on line, and run multiple events in three different locations around the country this year.
We were active again at the ‘Hand in Hand’ conference this year (National Childrens Ministry Conference), where we have been exhibiting and speaking for many years.
• One member is on the planning group, two are speaking regularly through the conference, five are leading mentoring sessions.
• We have a high profile this year. In addition to this, CW is (endorsed by the conference) offering to all delegates the opportunity to join a Re:Fuel online to continue the sense of connection which the conference supplies
Members, we have one new member and no losses, and finances remain stable.
The team in Kenya continues to work well, raising their own funds, and doing good work, gaining a good reputation across the country.
## **Financial review**
Income for the year amounted to £326,757 (2024: £306,855) and expenditure £323,020 (2024: £341,189). Unrestricted funds carried forward were £957,059 and restricted funds £14,561.
## **Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Trustees are appointed from the supporters of the charity. There is no maximum number, just a minimum of 3. There exists an induction process for all new Trustees and relevant training is offered on an ongoing basis.
## _**Organisational structure**_
There are currently 5 trustees: Colin Frampton (Chair), David Chaffe (Finance), Terry Edmondson (HR), Judy Frampton (Staff Welfare and Safeguarding), Trevor Hollingum (Finance). Lee Nancarrow is the Company Secretary. The Board holds quarterly Meetings and other Meetings as required. The Finance sub-committee meets quarterly.

## _**Risk management**_
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
We have ensured that all major insurable risks are subject to a combined Charity Connect policy of insurance underwritten by Ansvar. An annual review of all areas of risk is undertaken by the trustees in conjunction with staff overseeing the areas of activity, and procedures which have been put in place. All Procedures are documented and in normal circumstances carried out by more than one member of staff.
The Charity has a disaster recovery plan which is reviewed annually by the Board.

## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
In respect of potential Charity fraud, we have reviewed our exposure and believe that sufficient internal and financial controls exist, and that proportionate and reasonable steps are in place to ensure that all funds are accounted for and spent in line with the aims of the Charity. Additionally, when appropriate, we have given attention to our bank account deposits in the light of cover provided by the FSCS guarantee.
We regularly review our exposure to Financial risks, Governance and Management risks, Operational risks and Safeguarding as appropriate to our activities.
## _**Serious Incident Reporting**_
The Trustees, in accordance with Serious Incident Reporting requirements (that is resulting in a significant loss of funds, or of significant risk to our property, beneficiaries or reputation) are pleased to confirm that no incidents fall into this category for the year under review.

## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## **Statement of Responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of Family Foundations Trust Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Small companies provision statement**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.
The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the Charity on 16 March 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Family Foundations Trust Limited for the year ended 30 September 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Charity’s Trustees of Family Foundations Trust Limited (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Family Foundations Trust Limited are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your Charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Family Foundations Trust Limited as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The notes on pages 11 to 24 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 10
## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## **1 Charity status**
The Charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the Trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the Charity in the event of liquidation.
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
Family Foundations Trust Limited 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 notes.
## **Going concern**
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Charity.
## **Income and endowments**
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 the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 11
## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the Charity before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the Charity.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the Charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Deferred income**_
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
- The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the Charity has unconditional entitlement.
## _**Gift aid**_
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
## _**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.
Page 12
## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis. Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred and includes any attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Costs which are identified as relating to restricted activities are allocated directly to those activities. Costs which relate to the general running of the charity are allocated against unrestricted funds, and within the statement of financial activities these expenses are shown as costs of generating funds and costs in furtherance of charitable objects.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## _**Grant provisions**_
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
## **Taxation**
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Buildings|2% on cost|
|Furniture and equipment|25% on cost|
|Fixtures and fittings|25% on cost|
|Computer equipment|33% on cost|

## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Liabilities**
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 company 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.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the Trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the Charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Page 14
## **FAMILY FOUNDATIONS TRUST LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## **Financial instruments**
The company 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.
