Prfnclpal actlvltlès The Traidcraft Foundation trustees met periodically during the year to review the work of Traidcraft. The Chair of the Foundation trust88s has Continued to meet new recruits to th8 Board of Traidcraft Exchange ahead of their appointments. The Traidcraft Foundation does not carry out any fundraising adivities. We continued to support Traidcraft Exchange following its review and rework of its organizational strategy and its commitment to following a different approach to its work. Please refer to the Traidcraft Exchange published accounts for more detail on activities during the year. Discussions are underway between the Foundation and the board of Traidcraft Exchange about a more Streamllned slruoture, to reflect the closure of Traidcraft plc. Th8 Traidcraft Foundation TRUSTEES, REPORT (ContiTnuedJ FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Financial review The consolidaled results for the year ended 31 March 2025 are set out in detail in the financial statements below. The nel incoming resources for the Foundation (before Consolidation) for Iha year was £. Nil (2024.. £ Nill. The Foundation (before consolidation) has gross incoming resources of £. Nil (2024: £. Nil). Th8 Foundation is funded by Traidcraft Exchange. The trustees believe that the assets of the Foundation are available and adequate to fulfil ils obligations. Traidcraft Exchange's board approved a bLKtget with a modest surplus for FY 2024125 against total reserves brought forward of £.552,496 from FY2023124. On th8 backdrop of the collapse of the Traidcraft Pl¢ in FY22123 & the ¢ons8quent significanl challenge5 Wlth far reaching financial and operational impact that followed, Traidcraft Exchange continued to record steady resilienca and recovery. Traidcraft Exchange has had a strong year posting a markedly comparatively lower overall net deficit of £.31,772 (2023124.. deficit of £.544,357: 2022123: deficil of £.900,535) before exchange gain5 & losses. This performance was backed by a sustained overall steady incom& level of £.3.4M and decrease in overall expenditure arising from projects closed out al the end of prior year and within the Gurrenl year. This strong performance has rightly positioned Traldcraft Exchange toward meeting its target of breaking even in FY25f26 and beyond. Resérves pollcy The tiuste8s hav8 8ndor8ed the vlew of the trustees of Traldcraft Exchange that they conslder It prudent that Traidcraft Exchange should seek to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level sufficient lo meet matched funding requirements. budgeted staff, overheads and fundraising costs. Wh8n cakulating unrestriclad reserves, fixed assats and investments are excluded due to their illiquid nature. Wrth Traidcraft Exchange's steady and resilient performance over the recent financial years including the much closer to break-even point performance of FY2425, the management of Traldcraft Exchangè have initiated a rèvi8w of the charity's reserves policy with the aim of 8Stablishing a targ8t minimum reSe￿aS level. With the strong performance In FY24-25, we, through Traidcraft Exchange are looklng to FY2&26 with the intention of breaking even. Similarly. to FY24-25. for FY25-26. the board of Traidcraft Exchange once again approved a modest achievable surplus (unrestricted surplus) budget. Post year end 24125, Traidcraft Exchange has continued to maintain slrong support from its network of mid and high-level institutional donors and individual supporters and has initiated a review of ils fundraising strategy that is set to yield a refreshed fundraising approach towards attracting new & more flexible funding. This coupled with the continued dose monitoring of the charity's Gost struGture for Cost efficiencies, the Irusle8s have confidence Ihal Traidcraft Exchange is well poised loward achieving its goal of reaching and thereafter exceeding its breakeven point in FY25126 and beyond. As Traidcraft Exchange guarantees to cover reasonable expenses of the Traidcraft Foundation, its reserves are kept at approximately £.2,000. The Traidcraft Foundation TRUSTEES, REPORT fcontlnued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Princlpal risks and uncertaintles We, through Traidcraft Exchange, had a year marked with positive transition lo a new slralegic direction that will take the organization lo 2030 and beyond. 11 was a year of ending some work well and slarting new work that demonslraled the new direction we are headed in - namely becoming a powerful force of producer-centered trade juslica. We made significant strides across our intemational programs and policy initiatives, driving impactful change in small-scale agriculture, garments. tea, and broader policy and advocacy worL Wa worked with local partner organizalions to support marginaltzed communities and tackled systemic barriers to fair trade and sustainable d8valopmenl. Our efforts were slrenglhened by the dedication of OUT partners, whose collaboration remains central lo our mission of a¢hieving a just and sustainable trade system. We recognlz8 that strong risk managèment is essential to d81iv8ring our mission. As a learning organlzalion, we continue to strengthen our approach so we can anticipate, escalate and address T15ks early, keeping them at manageable levels. Our woik across multiple countries creates a changing funding, ￿gUlatOry and operational environment, and we actively manage these risks to protect our impact A key area of rlsk Is financial vulnerability driven mainly by unpredictable income 5tream8 such as legacies and public appeals, and r8du¢lions in some statutory aid as some statutory donors reduce aid, for instance toward y8ar end, UK Aid announced culs to Ihelr budget. In response, we are exploring more flexible funding opportunities and have launched a review to strengthen and diversify our fundraising strategy. Th1$ will support long-term slabilily and resilience. We also face risks linked lo the transition to our new organizational slralegy, Including the organizational adjuslmenls requlred as we embed the new strategy, and external shifts in political and regulatory 8nvironm8nls. To manage these, we continu8 to Invast in staff engagement, communication and Iraining in the new strategy. We monitor national and regional contexts closely. learn through collaborative networks, and seek legal or specialist advice wh8r6 needed so we can make informed and responsible decisions. Our Theory of Change and Monitoring, Evaluatlon and Learnlng IMEL} framework play a ￿ntral role in guiding this transition. Thèy provide a clear, shared roadmap for how we deliver impact and help ensure that our work stays aligned lo the new slralegy, strengthening accountability and strategic focus across the organization. The Traidcraft Foundallon TRUSTEES, REPORT fcontinued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Going concem After making enquiries, Ihe tru51ees have a reasonable expeclalion Ihat TraidGraft Foundation has adequate resources to Continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. We have considered the significantly lower deficit recorded by Traidcraft Exchange in FY 24125 alongside the continuing pressure of an unpredictable fundraising landscape that is a general concern affecting the assessment of the going concern basis for all charities. The trustees have therefore taken particular care in reviewing the going concern basis. When revlewing their declsion. they have taken the following factors into account.. Traidcraft Exchange prepares an annual cashflow forecast as part of its budgeting proces5. The ca5hflow forecast is monitored on a monthty basis. Further. expenditure levels are monitored against budget on a monthly basis through cost cenler reports Traidcraft Exchange has not encountered any difficulty in paying its Creditors withln agreed payment terms. In general, most of our inslilulional donors provide their grants in advance of spending. Cashflow projections for the year following approval of these financial slal8m8nts show that the charity wi51 have adequate funds to meel its liabilities as they fall due. Traidcraft Exchange has set an achievable budget for the y8ar 25126 which should return a modest unrestrlcted surplus. For th&s8 rèasons, th8 trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in thè accounting policies. Slructurep govemance and management Conslltutlon The Traid¢raft Foundation is regist8r8d as a charity set up by a Trust deed (updated 2002). The Foundation has also entered into a Deed of Mutual Covenant with TraidGraft pk and Traidcraft Exchange, dated December 2002. The Foundation controls the composition of the board of Traidcraft Exchange and the accounts of Traidcraft Exchange are consolidaled with those of the Foundation. The Traidcraft Foundation TRUSTEES.
