## **Trustees’ Annual Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2026** 

The trustees of One World Shop, who for the purposes of company law are the directors of the company, are pleased to present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.  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 & Activities**_ 

The charity’s objects are: 

- the relief of poverty, particularly in developing countries through fair and ethical trade 

- the advancement of environmental improvement through the promotion of sustainable development, both here and in developing countries 

The company's principal activity during the year was the running of fair trade shops in Edinburgh, focused on offering goods from developing countries, with the object of promoting fair trading relationships and encouraging co-operative development in order to create employment and relieve poverty.  This primary purpose trading activity is recognised as charitable by HMRC.  In parallel with the trading activity, the company has an educational objective to promote fair trade and related development issues, and an environmental objective to promote sustainable development. 

## _**Achievements & Performance**_ 

The One World Shop has had a positive year of both progress and challenge in a difficult trading environment. Rising costs, ongoing economic uncertainty, the impact of growing international conflicts and climate change, all place pressure on Fair Trade global producers and on shop customers. These circumstances reinforce the need for strong ethical and sustainable trading practices. 

Despite the challenging context, the Shop achieved a 7.9% increase in turnover (to £356,027) compared to the previous year, encompassing both shop and online sales. This growth contributed to a surplus of £12,049 for the financial year. 

Online sales fell by 9.4% year on year, despite several new initiatives developed to enhance the customer experience and search-function. Online continues to be a challenging environment for Fair Trade shops.  More work is planned in the coming year to uplift the Shop's online profile. 

During the reporting period, the Shop helped host and organise several outreach events, furthering its charitable objective to raise awareness of Fair Trade: 

- Shop Stall at the Shared Earth Members Meeting, May 2025, Edinburgh 

- The International Fairtrade Towns Conference in August 2025, a 3-day event at Edinburgh University with 250 delegates, many from overseas. 

- Shop Stall at SIDA Annual Conference, September 2025, Edinburgh 

- In shop Author’s event, “10 Years of Unpicking” by Jennifer Futter, October 2025

## **One World Shop** 

## **Trustees’ Annual Report (continued)** 

## **Communications and Community Engagement** 

The Shop maintained active involvement in key networks including: 

- Scottish Fair Trade 

- Edinburgh Fairtrade City Initiative 

- The British Association of Fair Trade Shops & Suppliers 

- Edinburgh Volunteer Centre 

- Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) 

- Social Enterprise Scotland (SES) 

- Scottish International Development Alliance (SIDA) 

## **Direct Trade and Supplier Relations** 

Supporting and developing closer links with our Fair Trade producers remains at the heart of everything the Shop does.  The Shop continues to have ongoing trading relationships with suppliers in Bangladesh, Malawi, Kenya and Guatemala. These partnerships are intended to strengthen livelihoods and ensure greater traceability, transparency and impact. 

## _**Financial Review**_ 

Details of income and expenditure for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 7 with further details in the notes to the accounts.  During the year, there was a net increase in funds of £12,049. 

Income from sales increased to £356,027 (2025: £330,078). 

Expenditure during the year amounted to £347,448 (2025: £329,591).  Details of the expenditure are shown in note 3 on pages 11-12.  Most of the expenditure relates to cost of goods sold, which increased in line with increased turnover, and staff costs which increased during the year. 

The charity held total funds of £157,453 at the year end.  A designated fund is held for fixed assets, with a balance of £10,817.  The balance of £146,636 is held in the general fund and represents the charity’s free reserves. 

## _Reserves policy_ 

The trustees aim to hold reserves equivalent to 6 months’ operating expenditure, excluding stock cost. At the year end, the free reserves held were £146,636, which is equivalent to between 10 and 11 months’ expenditure based on the forward budget.  The trustees are satisfied the level of reserves will help deal with continuing uncertainties around trading conditions and give the trustees the ability to continue investing in online presence and marketing to further develop and increase sales through that platform.  In the coming year, the trustees will be considering the most appropriate use of any excess reserves.

## **One World Shop** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2026** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## _**Basis of Accounting**_ 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and in accordance with the requirements of: 

- the Companies Act 2006 

- 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 (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 (Charities SORP (FRS102)); and 

- the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## _**Income**_ 

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 income receivable can be measured reliably. Income received by way of grants and donations is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Where entitlement is conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, grants are recognised when the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Where a grant or donation is given for a specific purpose, it is included in restricted income and any unexpended portion is carried forward as a restricted fund. 

Income from commercial trading activities is recognised as earned (as the related goods and services are provided).  It is stated after trade discounts and is net of VAT where applicable. 

## _**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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. The charity has opted not to report on the activity basis.  Expenditure is instead reported by cost type. 

Commitments paid in respect of operating leases are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## _**Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation**_ 

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is provided to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows: 

Tenant's improvements 10 years straight line Office equipment 4 years straight line Fixtures & fittings 5 years straight line

## **One World Shop Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## **1. Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## _**Programme Related Investments**_ 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing bid price or trading price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains, losses and impairment arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. 

All investments held by the charity are programme related. Any losses on investment value are treated as impairment and charged to expenditure. Gains are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities either to reverse previous impairment, or as unrealised or realised gains. 

## _**Stocks**_ 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.  Cost is calculated using the average cost method. 

## _**Other Basic Financial Instruments**_ 

The charity only has financial assets and 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. 

## _**Taxation**_ 

The company is recognised as a charity for the purposes of applicable taxation legislation and is therefore not subject to taxation on its charitable activities. No charge to corporation tax arose during the year. The charity is registered for VAT.  All items in the accounts are included net of applicable VAT. 

## _**Pensions**_ 

The company makes pension contributions to three defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Contributions are charged to expenditure as they become payable. 

The company has an employee who was formerly a member of a multi-employer defined benefit scheme with TPT Retirement Solutions. The company makes ongoing contributions towards their share of the scheme deficit, in accordance with guidance from the scheme administrators. Further information is contained in Note 11 to the accounts. 

## _**Funds**_ 

Funds are classified as either restricted funds or unrestricted funds, defined as follows: 

_**Restricted funds**_ are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the charity. 

_**Unrestricted funds**_ are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees’ discretion to apply the fund.

## **One World Shop Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## **11. Pension Commitments** 

The company has one employee who was formerly a member of TPT Retirement Solutions Growth Plan 3 ("the Plan"), a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 521 non-associated participating employers. This scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme. 

The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK. 

The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement'. Therefore the company is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme. 

A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2023. This valuation showed assets of £514.9m, liabilities of £531.0m and a deficit of £16.1m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows: 

_Deficit contributions_ From 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028: 

£2,100,000 per (payable monthly) annum 

Unless a concession has been agreed with the Trustee the term to 31 March 2028 applies. 

Note that the scheme’s previous valuation was carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of £800.3m, liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows: 

_Deficit contributions_ From 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2025: £3,312,000 per (payable monthly) annum 

The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the Series 1 and Series 2 scheme liabilities. 

Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.
