Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

The Burnham Health Promotion Trust (BHPT) is a charitable organisation set up by a grant from the late Louis and Valerie Freedman.

The principal aims of the Trust are to promote, sustain and enhance physical, emotional and mental health and well-being for all in the Burnham Community. We do this by:

Promoting education in the Community to encourage and enable people to take responsibility for, and to maximize their own health.

Creating an environment and providing initiatives which promote, sustain and enhance physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing.

Carrying out research into areas of local interest or concern, to observe national trends and to collate data to be distributed, published and used as appropriate for the public good.

Encouraging replication of the BHPT model more widely, where viable and possible.

In planning the activities for the year, the Trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The activities benefit the people of Burnham, Buckinghamshire, particularly the young and the elderly and do not give rise to any detriment or harm to the public.

PROGRESS IN ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES

The Trust capital is invested with charity specialist fund managers to generate an income of not less than £50,000 per annum.

The Trust income is supplemented by grants from another charity with a common founder - the Louis and Valerie Freedman Settlement. These grants are now made to BHPT to support charitable initiatives which BHPT could not otherwise undertake from its income but are dependent on BHPT submitting a grant funding request to the Louis and Valerie Freedman Settlement each time the Charity is applying for a grant, and providing feedback to the Louis and Valerie Freedman Settlement on the impact the grant has made to the Burnham Community.

To date there has been no major fund-raising element involved.

The Trust does, on occasion, receive other donations either from other bodies who are involved in joint ventures with the Trust or from members of the public in the form of legacies or gifts. The Trust also receives payments from participants for certain of its activities.

A major part of the income from the Trust is used to pay staff salaries and associated costs. During the 2024/25 financial year the Trust employed five part time members of staff.

The Trust also has a small team of volunteers who assist with specific projects.

The Trust's income is also used to fund ongoing projects and to make grants, mainly related to the needs of the young or elderly and always related to health promotion and wellbeing or to relieve distress in some way. The requests for grants are investigated by members of the team and are usually made with the unanimous approval of all Trustees. If the situation is urgent, and a trustee is away, it has been agreed that a quorum of two Trustees is sufficient. The Trustees meet on a quarterly basis, and informally at other times, and major decisions are made by them all together and in unanimity.

The Trust currently has four Trustees, Dr Simon Daily (Chair), Francis Hughes, Jacqueline Laver and Roy Barrett who was appointed a Trustee on 29th September 2025.

The Trust Offices

The Trust’s relocation to Burnham Park Hall continues to be beneficial to the BHPT as Burnham Park Hall provides more space and options to allow BHPT to deliver both current and future projects. The Wellbeing events have been held in the largest Dropmore Hall with several hundred people attending the event.

The move has elevated the Trust’s profile. There is the added benefit that we are on-site to be able to accept donations and help to organise the Care & Share foodbank which operates from Burnham Park Hall on Tuesday and Friday afternoons from the foyer. There is storage space provided at no charge by Burnham Parish Council, with further storage space provided following the siting of a container to the rear of the building which the Parish Council has approved.

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Aims and Objectives - continued

The Trustees and Staff would like to place on record their continued thanks to the Parish Councillors and the Staff at Burnham Park Hall for their continued support of BHPT and the Care & Share Foodbank initiative.

Significant Activities

Care and Share

In October 2024 Burnham Care & Share was formed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with Company number - CE037947 & Charity number – 1210583.

The new organisation is now running as a Charity in its own right and has a Board of 6 Trustees who meet every few months.

The process of establishing the new Charity is still in the early stages. BHPT therefore continues to provide staff to support Care and Share during the transitional period until all responsibilities, currently being performed by BHPT staff, pass satisfactorily to the new Charity.

The current economic climate continues to mean that some families are struggling to make ends meet. They face many difficulties and are often unable to purchase the food they need. Additionally, they experience fuel poverty, face debt issues, difficulties in applying for and obtaining the correct benefits and suffer with mental health issues.

In the year ended 30th September 2025 Care & Share supported 576 families equating to approximately 2,723 adults and children in total.

The storage container, which is located in a secure area at the back of Burnham Park Hall continues to provide extra storage space which has enabled the purchase of larger stock quantities of tinned food and household items and is used to store the very generous Harvest Festival donations received.

The number of volunteers is currently 29 including 6 from St Peter's Church who act as listeners at each session.

BHPT's continued role within Care & Share, allows us to signpost these vulnerable people quickly and efficiently on to other support agencies, such as Helping Hands at Bucks CC and Slough Borough Council who it is hoped then alleviate some of the challenges they are experiencing.

Citizens Advice Bureau support

The sudden withdrawal of the Citizens Advice Bureau at Burnham Park Hall, which the Trust has facilitated for many years, has been disappointing but hopefully this can be reinstated at some future juncture.

Number 22 Mental Health Provision

The Trust's two mental health initiatives, "Hold My Hand" for young persons and "Hope" for adults have continued to offer fast track support to the GP Surgery at Burnham Health Centre and the local Burnham Community during the past year.

The "Hold My Hand" initiative for young persons which commenced in November 2020 has been providing 8 hours of counselling support to the GP surgery each week with well over 100 referrals having been made since the commencement of the intervention. Young patients aged from 11 to 21 living in the Burnham area are able to access this early intervention mental health support.

The "Hope" initiative for adults which commenced in October 2022 following the success of the "Hold My Hand" initiative now provides 12 hours of counselling support for the benefit of patients at the GP surgery following additional monetary support received from the Louis and Valerie Freedman Charitable Settlement.

The counsellor delivering the support is experienced at working with clients with suicidal ideation amongst other issues and the patients are offered 10 sessions of therapy.

The objective of these initiatives is to improve the emotional wellbeing of young patients and adults struggling with mental health issues who are registered at the Health Centre and/or who live in or around the Burnham area thereby reducing visits to their GP's and further to reduce the burden on the already stretched NHS resources.

Patients present with varying issues but typically include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family and relationship issues, anger, attempted suicide/suicidal ideation, sexual abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, self-harm, pregnancy, infertility, finance and anxiety, bereavement, issues with food, stress at school and bullying. More recently an increase in issues revolving around neurodiversity has been observed.

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Significant Activities - continued

Number 22 counsellors continue to visit the Health Centre periodically to discuss the projects with the GP's and in particular new trainees who are not perhaps familiar with what Number 22 offer. This successfully promoted the benefits that these two initiatives offer to the Health Centre that are financed over and above the limited provision that might be accessed via the NHS.

The impact of the initiatives is measured using a range of tools and approaches which include both qualitative and quantitative methods including a clinical evaluation form, case studies and feedback directly from the clients. It has been recognised however, that there have been difficulties interpreting the data presented in its current form and as a consequence of our feedback along with others, Number 22 intend to adopt the CORE method of evaluation, recognised and used by the NHS. Direct feedback will continue to be gathered from patients via an online survey. Refinements to this process are ongoing.

Counsellors continue to notice an increase in the number of older patients referred and more recently a significant increase in the number of referrals for issues revolving around neurodiversity.

Our collaborative relationship with Number 22 continues to reap rewards in that both the "Hold My Hand" and "Hope" initiatives continue to be run from the "Mental Health Hub" established in Burnham Park Hall following our move there in December 2022.

The initiatives continue to deliver support locally in the very heart of Burnham which is easily accessible for patients. The importance of this continued support has been recognised by Burnham Health Centre in correspondence supplied to our Superior Trust, the Louis & Valerie Freedman Charitable Settlement. Once again, the BHPT would not be able to offer either of these initiatives without their continued support.

The BHPT is extremely grateful for the generosity of the Trustees of the Louis & Valerie Freedman Charitable Settlement.

Schools Project

2024 was the final year of this three-year early intervention project which has offered support to schools for projects that work with young children, families, particularly with a focus on mental health, wellbeing and resilience.

The final grant awarded in 2024 was paid out in May 2026 once the school it was awarded to was in a position to implement the proposed initiative.

The Schools Project is being replaced by an Oracy project (See “Future Plans”).

Public Benefit

Job Club

Job Club, which is free to attend continues to provide support to those in the Burnham Community looking for employment. It runs from Burnham Community Library on a weekly basis. It is an informal drop-in group, with no pressure to attend. Clients can attend for the full two hours or drop in for five minutes if they need help with a particular issue.

The group is motivational and a place where people share the jobs they have seen and their ideas with each other. The group has a volunteer helper who was an English tutor at a local college, and we are most grateful for her help.

Free Wi-Fi and tablets for job searching are made available to those attending. Attendees receive help with CV's, form filling, covering letters and job searching as well as the moral support that a group setting provides.

The market for "unskilled" jobs currently still appears to be highly competitive and issues being encountered are lack of skills, being unemployed for long periods, for example due to illness or home caring responsibilities for the elderly or for children. A lack of confidence of applicants is also a major issue.

So far, the Job Club has succeeded in helping 32 people back into employment and The Club continues to grow and to gain greater recognition in the Community.

Job Club is open to all and attracts attendees from all backgrounds, ages and nationalities and has helped attendees apply for jobs in all sectors from local government to schools, retail, hospitality and construction.

Singing for Your Memory

Singing for Your Memory continues to run on a Tuesday for an hour at Burnham Community Library on the first and third week of each month and is free to attend.

The group is mixed gender and no singing experience is necessary to attend and it continues to thrive with between 25 and 35 attendees each week. Regular attendees include children who bring along their parents or neighbours. Local care homes bring their patients, some attend with their carer, and some come on their own to enjoy the social aspect.

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Public Benefit - continued

The participants primarily suffer from issues connected with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

The pianist is a retired music teacher who has been volunteering for several years now. The Trustees and Staff wish to thank her for all the time and effort she puts into the sessions to make them so enjoyable for others.

The volunteers who help support this group were nominated and went on to win the Beeches Community Board’s Pride of Bucks Award on 7th November 2024. The BHPT Trustees and staff are grateful and proud of the recognition that the initiative has received which went on to win First Prize for delivering excellent provision in the local Burnham Community.

Extended sessions were hosted by the Trust on 5th August and 13th December whereby the group participated in socializing sessions with refreshments which provided an opportunity to socialize and chat. This was very well received and the possibility to hold these social events more often will be explored.

Burnham Inter-generational Project (LaST)

The Trust’s previous CEO Shirley Shaw continues to deliver projects locally using the LaST resources.

A new project between Lent Rise House and Lent Rise School is underway and although a very different setting to that of Perry House, both the school and the care home remain enthusiastic about the project. With some modification to the resources, it will be possible to follow similar themes to the Perry House project including Autumn, Remembrance, Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions.

A presentation at the Burnham Rotary Club resulted in 15 sixth form students expressing an interest in volunteering to be involved with the project.

The Trustees wish to thank Shirley for the time she spends on this initiative enthusiastically delivering local projects which delight those lucky enough to be involved and also for the work and refinements she continues to make to the LaST resources. The endless passion she has demonstrated for inter-generational projects is astonishing.

Further refinements to the website which makes available the LaST toolkit continue to be made at www.learningandsharingtogether.org.uk where it is possible to download trial modules and to purchase the toolkit itself to facilitate the easy running of an inter-generational group.

Social Events

Wellbeing Afternoon

A further Wellbeing afternoon was held on 21st September 2025 at Burnham Park Hall.

It was attended by 25 sellers and 7 therapists, but it was disappointing that only 58 tickets were sold for the event which was much lower than previously. The event was held a week later than in previous years to encourage those who were perhaps on a late holiday or taking children to university to attend.

Workshops available on the day were Pelvic Floor Re-balancing, A to Z of Nutrition and Meditation. Feedback from attendees was very positive. Each workshop was full and ladies were very complimentary about the quality of the content and what they had learned by attending.

However, in light of the reduced numbers attending this event, the format will be re-evaluated to ensure what is offered delivers to the needs of the community.

BHPT sold raffle tickets at the event and raised £136.00, with all profits going to the Care & Share Foodbank.

Family Fun Day

On 22nd June 2025 BHPT hosted a Family Fun Day.

Many local sports and activity groups were invited to attend, and we were joined by many local organisations offering activities such as basketball, table tennis, hockey and gymnastics, healthy eating, sharing local SEN provisions and helping social interactions.

Other organisations in attendance were The Girlguiding Association, The Autism Group, Burnham Youth Club, Kathak Dancers and Dentaid.

The targeted outcomes for the event were to promote health and wellbeing and encouraging both adults and children to be more active and get outside more and get off screen-based devices.

Children and adults were encouraged to try a selection of different fruits and foods. There were various sport and dance demonstrations and attendees were encouraged to try out a new activity.

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Public Benefit - continued

Annual event held at Burnham Park Hall which raised £504 through tombola and Name the Teddy Competition; all proceeds were donated to the Care & Share Foodbank.

Donkey Derby

Annual event run by Burnham Beeches Rotary Club which raised £330 through tombola and book sale; all proceeds were donated to the Care & Share Foodbank.

Quiz Night

A joint event run with 1st Lent Rise and Dorney Beavers Scouts with 120 people attending; proceeds of £603.95 were donated to the Care & Share Foodbank.

Donations

The Trust continues to occasionally provide financial support to other organisations enabling them to provide activities and services for the benefit of the local community. This year the Trust supported the Rotary Club by contributing £185 for advertising and £110 to sponsor a Donkey Derby horse.

It also provided £100 to St. Mary’s PTA to advertise their Cinema Event.

Grants

The Trustees also awarded additional small grants to support a variety of different local organisations as follows: -

Girlguiding - £500 towards the Guiding Regatta to celebrate 105th Anniversary.

Lighthouse Burnham - £500 towards the annual project contributing towards setting up and clearing down including fencing and skip hire to allow the event to go ahead.

Stay Steady, Stay Strong - £500 to fund balance sessions provided by the Health Centre.

Round & About - £500 contribution towards advertising costs to help the publication to keep going.

Phoenix Rugby Club (Youth Section) - £1,400 towards purchase of an all-weather gazebo shelter.

Grant Income

The Trust received a £17 commission in relation to selling Bucks County Lottery tickets.

The remaining donations in the year were received from the Louis & Valerie Freedman Charitable Settlement.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

FUTURE PLANS

The Trustees consider that the impact and consequences of Covid 19 on daily life continues to be felt by all with the impact of deaths and bereavement, separation, restricted schooling and social contact all still having significant, negative consequences on the local population, particularly for those families and individuals with the least resources, both physical (money, space, facilities) and personally, (emotionally, cogitatively, sense of place, self-knowledge of health and self-protection).

BHPT will continue with its current initiatives with the exception of the “Schools Project.”

The Trustees aim to launch a new “Oracy” Schools Project. This project will target and provide early intervention strategies for speech and language issues occurring in young children, particularly those impacted by the aftereffects of Covid 19. It will further support young children and their families with a focus on mental health, wellbeing and building resilience for the future.

Care and Share Foodbank – Evolution to independence

Following the Care and Share Foodbank becoming an independent CIO, BHPT will continue to provide staff and support to the Charity as it transitions to being an independent entity. This support by BHPT will enable the scale and impact of the initiative on the Burnham community to be maintained and enhanced.

Mental Health Initiatives

The Burnham Health Promotion Trust

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

FUTURE PLANS - continued

As a result of continuing grant funding being received from the Louis and Valerie Freedman Charitable Settlement, BHPT will be able to continue with the “Hold my Hand” mental health early intervention project for young people and the “Hope” initiative for adults referred from the GPs at the Health Centre.

Trim Trail

The Trustees and staff are keen to promote and encourage health and wellbeing in the community.

Spending time outdoors and being and remaining active is a fundamental requirement for all to stay fit and healthy.

A proposal was therefore submitted to the Burnham Parish Council (BPC) in early July 2025 for a new fitness Trim Trail to be sited in Burnham Park and this idea was favourably received. This is a new collaborative project between Burnham Health Promotion Trust (BHPT) and Burnham Parish Council (BPC)

A working party was subsequently set up to research and put together options and costings for further exploration and consideration.

It is proposed that the project would include the installation of a long-awaited water fountain to ensure the public have access to a supply of fresh drinking water whilst using the equipment in Burnham Park. The project would be in addition to and complement the existing green gym originally installed by BHPT many years ago.

After appropriate evaluation, it is hoped that a revised format for the Wellbeing Day will be offered in October 2026, concentrating on providing information and advice via health workshops.

Pursuing opportunities with Burnham Library will be explored, which hopefully will result in offering resources for adults and children with SEN requirements and perhaps using the currently under-utilized outdoor space for a therapeutic gardening and growing experience to reduce isolation in the community.

Improving and increasing opportunities for attendees of Singing for the Memory is also being considered, with perhaps extra opportunities for social interaction with more ‘cup of tea and chat’ sessions being considered.

Citizens Advice Bureau provision in Burnham

The Trustees continue to look for ways to work with the Citizens Advice Bureau to see a return of this invaluable resource to the people of Burnham.

The BHPT staff continue to develop ideas for new initiatives which they bring to the Trustees for consideration so that BHPT continues to evolve in its support of the Burnham Community.

Achievements and Performance

Main Achievements

INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE

The trustee’s investment strategy is to set a balance between income and capital growth, predominantly in UK-based equities which generate high yields in accordance with the investment guidelines set by the Trustees as explained in the Risk Management section of this report.

This investment policy is implemented by the charity’s investment managers JM Finn & Co to protect the value of the capital and income of the charity in real terms over the medium term.

All investments have been acquired within the trustee’s powers of investment. At 30 September 2025 the portfolio was valued at £1,856,222 (2024 - £1,894,191). Sales during the year realised losses of £52,931 in addition there were unrealised gains of £118,330 on the revaluation of the portfolio as at 30 September 2025, resulting in total gains of £65,399 (2024 – gains £180,716).

Financial Review

Page 8

The Burnham Health Promotion Trust

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Financial Position

Incoming Resources

During the year the Trust received donations totalling of £30,000 from the Louis and Valerie Freedman Charitable Settlement. Although the Trust does not undertake any fundraising, it does

from time to time receive donations and legacies, which are usually from other local bodies that are involved in joint ventures with the Trust. In 2025 these totalled £18 (2024 - £1,360) .

The charity also received contributions from participants in health promotion activities of £1,080 (2024- £897).

The other income was comprised of investment income of £69,027 (2024: £61,258).

Charitable Expenditure

Total charitable expenditure, incorporating governance costs, decreased from £185,784 in 2024 to £174,667 in the current year.

Financial Result For The Year

The result for the year shows a deficit of incoming resources of £91,507 excluding net gains on investments (2024 – a deficit of £91,793 excluding net gains on investments).

Reserves and financial position

The Trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the charity. Following the diversification of the investment portfolio, the Trustees no longer have a minimum cash requirement. The charity will ensure it holds low risk assets with a value that is in

excess of one year's operating overheads at all times and it will only expend income that it has received in the year on charitable activities.

At the balance sheet date, the level of reserves available excluding any restricted funds, stands at £1,894,199 (2024 - £1,921,628).

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 are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

A risk identified is that additional grants from the Louis and Valerie Freedman Charitable Trust are not received, but this risk is mitigated each year as the activities for the forthcoming year are only planned when it is clear what level of additional funding is likely to be donated.

Measures have been taken to safeguard the fund by taking on more secure investments and fixed interest bonds.

The risk assessment is reviewed annually by the Trustees to ensure that the reserves of the charity are at the level required to enable the charity to achieve its objectives.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trust has in place an executive and professional liability insurance policy to provide indemnity for the Trustees.

RELATED CHARITIES

The charity has no official arrangement with other parties or charities nor has it entered into any transactions in which the Trustees had an interest.

The Burnham Health Promotion Trust

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Governing Document - continued

The Board of Trustees consists of a minimum of three Trustees, who continue in office until retirement or death. New Trustees are selected by the existing Trustees, and are people who live in, work in or have an interest or association with the Burnham area as well as a specific interest in promoting the aims of the Trust. They are appointed by Special Resolution in an Extraordinary General Meeting.

Specific Investment Powers of the Trustees

These are listed in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Trustees will invest any money as they in their absolute discretion think fit, subject to any specific donor requirements of which there are none at this time.

Trustee Induction and Training

New Trustees undergo an induction to brief them of their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction they meet key employees and other Trustees and are encouraged to experience some of the Trust's projects and activities at first hand.

In house training is provided to Trustees through quarterly meetings and occasional Away Days when Trustees are updated about changes which impact on the work of the Trust and their role as Trustees.

As a member organisation of Community Impact Bucks, the Trust receives regular newsletters and Trustees have opportunities to participate in training as appropriate.

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL REMUNERATION

The trustees consider the board of trustees as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. The Trustees are also Directors for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006

All trustees give freely of their time and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of trustees’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in notes 18 and 19 to the accounts.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Burnham Health Promotion Trust 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).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement 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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Small Company Rules

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Burnham Health Promotion Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2025, which are set out on pages 12 to 21

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity trustees of the Company (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 the Company 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

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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
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
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 Burnham Health Promotion Trust

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. General Information

The Burnham Health Promotion Trust is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 03435602 and registered charity number 1066070 . The registered office is First Floor, Burnham Park Hall, Windsor Lane, Burnham, Slough, Bucks, SL1 7HR.

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

2.2. Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

2.3. Incoming Resources

Voluntary income and donations are included in incoming resources when they are receivable, except when the donors specify that they must be used in future accounting periods, or where donor conditions have not been fulfilled, and then the income is deferred. Contributions to health promotion activities received from participants are included when received. Where restrictions are placed on a donation it is accounted for as restricted funds and expended in the way the donor specified. Investment income is accounted for when receivable.

2.4. Resources Expended

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. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Trust.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures & Fittings	25% Reducing balance
Computer Equipment	33.33% Straight line

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

2.6. 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 quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The Trust does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.

2.8. Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charitable company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised. Contingent liabilities arise as a result of past events when (i) it is not probable that there will be an outflow of resources or that the amount cannot be reliably measured at the reporting date or (ii) when the existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the charitable company’s control. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

2.9. Pensions

The charitable company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
