Report of the Trustees for the Period 6 April 2024 to 31 July 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 6 April 2024 to 31 July 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Austin Bailey Foundation, ABF, was founded by Keith Bailey in 1984. His experience as a Japanese prisoner of war 1942-1945 gave him a profound sense of his own good fortune in surviving what so many colleagues did not. This was reinforced by his subsequent success in business in Swansea and led him to set up the Austin Bailey Foundation. His desire was to do something to improve the lives of the poor and disadvantaged in the Swansea area through local charities and the church. The prayer of the Foundation includes the words 'Lord, who expects much of those to whom much is given’. This summarises the ethic of both Keith Bailey, the present chairman Clive Bailey, and the trustees, in driving ABF forward.
ABF has remained faithful to its founding vision in supporting local community action with a focus on lasting impact, through the involvement of those who are most in need. In addition to working in the Swansea area, a quarter of ABF's unrestricted resources are devoted to the developing world.
Ethos and Focus
ABF's principal focus in the Swansea region is on helping disadvantaged people in one of the poorer regions of the UK. Our aim is to redress disadvantage, relieve economic and social poverty as well as poverty of opportunity and aspiration.
We encourage self-sustaining projects, often in an entrepreneurial manner, whilst always keeping an eye on real need where charitable hand outs are more appropriate.
Small charities in the Swansea region tell us that whilst provision of funds for large projects has improved through the Lottery Fund and the Welsh Assembly, the provision of smaller sums (£500 to £4,000) has diminished. This is the area which ABF sees as its core activity.
We see our role as one of partnership with people and communities, encouraging their own vision for the changes they believe they can make. We believe that small amounts of money, well-used and carefully spent, can make large changes.
The Foundation's trust deed states that unrestricted income should be delivered as follows: -
-
Approximately 50% of unrestricted income is used to assist Swansea charities or the Swansea branches of National charities operating locally. The aim is to redress disadvantage, relieve economic and social poverty as well as poverty of opportunity and aspiration
-
Approximately 25% of unrestricted income is given to local churches and faith groups to advance the Christian faith as well as supporting the community objectives listed above.
-
Approximately 25% of unrestricted funds are donated to relief organisations for the relief of poverty and ill health and the fostering of opportunities for young people in the developing world.

Activities - Local Small Grants
The standard one-off grant is £1,000 although this can vary from £500 to £2,000. These single grants enable the trustees to understand the applicant charity's (or CIC's) activities which is further enhanced by a feedback form which applicants must complete some months after they receive the grant. Applicants cannot reapply within 12 months of receiving a grant.
In 2024-25 a total of 49 small grants were made to Local Charities totalling £61,910.
Activities - Local Charity Large grants
Good interaction and feedback from small grant recipients over a two- or three-year period will encourage the trustees to invite the organisation to apply for a recurring 3-year grant. Charities are asked to give a presentation to trustees followed by a question-and-answer session. Such grants are usually larger (anything up to £4,000 per annum).
In January 2025 a new recurring grants recipients were decided; -
-
BWG Swansea CAP
-
Cancer information and support service
-
Dementia friendly Swansea
-
Families and friends of prisoners Swansea

Bridging the Gap programme -2025 Impact Summary
BtG is a new category of ABF's activity started in July 2024. It aims to give targeted help to disadvantaged young people, aged 5 to 25, who could be susceptible to slipping into dangerous or anti-social activities and steering them towards employment or further education instead.
Recipients are not local charities, but individuals who are facing financial hardship. Every application must be supported by a teacher or sponsor. The payment is made to them, not to the individual, and they are responsible for reporting to us about the benefit the grant has given.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Purpose:
To remove practical barriers that prevent disadvantaged young people from accessing education, enrichment, and wellbeing opportunities.
Headline Impact
Since launch, £10,404 has been distributed through 76 individual grants. Grants prove vital, rapid support for pupils and families facing financial or social
hardship. This snapshot of feedback shows how even small awards can generate major improvements in attendance, engagement, and wellbeing.
Access and Attendance
Transport grants remove barriers to education, with attendance increasing by 15-40 percentage points in several schools. Pupils returned to full-time attendance, improving focus, literacy, and behaviour.
"He gives 100% to his learning and is far more engaged. He's now part of a social group with his peers, which is truly lovely to see." - Pentre'r Graig Primary
Engagement and Wellbeing
Residential and enrichment experiences build confidence, friendship and teamwork. Staff described the experiences as "life-changing" for children at risk of disengagement.
"The funding gave him time - time for support to work, time to grow in confidence, and time to stay in education.” - Bishop Gore School
Material and Household Support
Grants for school shoes, uniforms, and essential household appliances gave families dignity and stability, improving attendance and wellbeing.
"This has made a massive difference to the family. We would not want to see them go back to how things were - he's now attending school regularly and thriving." - Primary School Feedback
Family and Community Outcomes
Families reported reduced stress and improved routines. Schools noted better parental engagement and calmer home environments.
"We are so grateful. The support has been invaluable - small grants that have changed lives." - School Wellbeing Officer
Conclusion
"Bridging the Gap' has proven to be a high-impact, low-cost programme, filling urgent gaps left by statutory services. The Foundation's swift, compassionate approach has re-engaged young people, strengthened families, and helped schools enable pupils to thrive.
We are very grateful to local Swansea West M.-P. Torsten Bell for the support he has given ABF and_ his efforts on ABF's behalf to increase awareness of BtG with local government and local institutions.
Activities - Monitoring and Evaluation
Page 4
The Austin Bailey Foundation
Report of the Trustees for the Period 6 April 2024 to 31 July 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Monitoring and evaluation are essential processes in the Foundation's grant-making activities. For small grants these consist of feedback forms after a period of 9 months after the grant is given. Recipients of larger grants will be asked to engage with trustees through site visits, presentations, and annual reports. Where feasible, visits are made to International Flagship locations. In June 2026 it is planned that three trustees will visit a number of our new International Flagship projects in Kenya, Malawi and Zambia.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with section 2(1)(b) of the Charities Act 2011, having due regard for the Charity Commissioner's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation's aims and objectives, when setting the grant-making policy and in making awards.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Grants paid to beneficiaries
In the 16-month period to 31 July 2025, 257 individual grants were made totalling £251,370. This compares with £179,194 donated in the previous 12 month period.
Social Media
The Foundation has a presence on social media to increase awareness of the Foundation's activities in the Swansea area. A social media committee was formed, and a presence was established on Facebook that is updated monthly giving information about the Foundation and the activities of its grantees.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Foundation's portfolio is managed by the stockbrokers, Brewin Dolphin's charity team. It was agreed that Risk Category 7 - Income, best matches the Foundation's investment objectives, taking due note of the Trustees' ethical preferences. At 31 July 2025 the portfolio asset allocation compared to the benchmark for Risk Category 7 was:
| Portfolio | |
|---|---|
| Fixed Income | 6.3% |
| Equities | 84.9% |
| Alternatives and other | 6.2% |
| Cash | 2.6% |
The trustees are satisfied that this diversification of investments is the best method of achieving investment objectives.
Investment performance
In order to comply with the Charities SORP, the Foundation's quoted investment assets are valued at market price as at the balance sheet date. Their value at 31 July 2025 was £1,960,523, an increase of 6.9% on the 5 April 2024 figure of £1,833,131. This increase underperforms the FTSE100 index that went up over 13% in the period. We are dissatisfied with this outcome and are looking for higher yielding alternative approaches either in the stock market or commercial property.
Income from all investments including property was £107,964.
The broker's management fees for the period were £18,446 including VAT.
Over the past forty years the Foundation has benefited considerably from the generous financial support provided by the late Founder and his family. Clive Bailey and companies controlled by him continue to make both income and capital donations towards the charitable activities of the Foundation which have ensured that the Foundation operates from a sound financial footing.
The Foundation's work is reliant on its investment returns from its share portfolio and donations received from the chairman or companies controlled by him.
Results for the year
A summary of the year's results can be found in the accounts that follow this report.
Income including donations for the 16 month period was £544,703 (2024 - £200,382). Income arising from the Foundation's share portfolio was £81,621 (2024 - £59,574), property income was £24,747 (2024 - £17,463), bank interest was £1,596 (2024 - £347) and donations totalling £436,741 (2024 - £122,988) were received from Clive Bailey and companies controlled by him together with related tax refunds.
The charity held unrestricted funds of £2,655,973 (2024 - £2,271,988) at the balance sheet date.
Risk Assessment
Following the sale of the investment property in 2020 the Foundation is now more reliant upon income from dividends than previously. This was corrected in part when the chairman transferred a buy to let property in Hayes, Middlesex to the Foundation in 2022. As outlined above, our policy will be to increase the property element of our income into higher yielding, but still stable sources.

Report of the Trustees for the Period 6 April 2024 to 31 July 2025
Whilst the trustees consider the variability of investment returns to constitute the Foundation's major financial risk this is mitigated by employing professional investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio.
Other than the above, the trustees have not identified any other significant risks, financial or otherwise which are not monitored or controlled.
Reserves policy
The charity carries forward reserve funds to offset expenses for future years operations.
FUTURE PLANS
-
To continue to make grants and commitments, at a similar or higher level, to the range of beneficiaries listed under objectives.
-
To expand the Bridging the Gap (BtG) programme and add some recurring or Flagship BtG projects that will be aimed at organisations that help BtG meet its aims. Youth club work and vocational training are important areas we are considering.
~ The Trustees will continue to work towards the aims set out in the recent strategic plans and an annual target of awarding grants totalling a minimum of £200,000.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Foundation is a registered charity, number 514912, and is constituted under a trust deed dated 1 February 1984. The Foundation was established by an initial gift from Keith Cyril Austin Bailey who, despite having spent three years as a prisoner of war under the Japanese during World War 11, wished to express his gratitude for the happiness and good fortune he had otherwise received during his life, by giving help to those in need or adversity. Over the years the Bailey family has made substantial gifts to the charity and the legacy of the Austin Bailey Foundation is a lasting tribute to Keith Bailey. The Foundation does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue the charitable work desired by the donor through the careful stewardship of its existing resources.
The Trustees meet three times a year, in April, September and December/January, to agree the broad strategy and areas of activities for the Foundation including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. All activities of the charity are carried out by the Trustees without the need for additional staff.
The Chairman of Trustees, Clive Bailey, has the authority to appoint new trustees but the support of the Foundation's existing Trustees is usually sought prior to any appointment. Candidates for the role of Trustee are either recommended by one of the existing Trustees or through a recruitment agency. Candidates must demonstrate the skills necessary to contribute to the charity's development. In anticipation of a substantial increase in income over the coming years, the Foundation appointed four new trustees in 2021.
Each new Trustee will be directed towards guidance for new trustees issued by the Charity Commission.
This will be the Foundation's final report in its present format. On Ist August 2025 it converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This simplifies certain procedural aspects whilst removing trustees’ unlimited liability.

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
No depreciation is provided on leasehold property as the amount that is depreciated is the difference between cost and residual value. In the opinion of the Trustees, the residual value of the property equates to at least its carrying value and there is therefore no depreciation to provide.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
