| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity 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 AND ACTIVITIES |
| Principal activities |
| To promote the positive mental health, wellbeing and development of children and young people through all and any means both preventative and restorative; to include, but not limited to, education, therapy / counselling, physical activity, social skills, linguistic and communication enrichment, emotional support, parental engagement and support. |
| Public benefit |
| The Trustees have had due regard for the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. |
| ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE |
| Headlines |
| The charity continues to meet goals on improving children and young people's (CYP) mental health primarily using four goals/strands: the use of the natural environment, support of Deaf CYP, the use of creative arts, and educating and supporting parents to develop strong attachment relationships with their children. While these areas are the main focus strands of the Charity donations our broad objective allow for the flexibility and so we have been able to support Buddy Bags (supporting children in care: LAC) and The Church Street Project (organisation for counselling and art therapy). |
| Donations have been given to East Kent Equine Therapy and Learning, Spurgeons, Nine Acres, Buddy Bags, Auditory Verbal UK, London Youth Rowing, Church Street Project and Families United. |
| The Charity remains completely self-funding and no funds or donations have been received from the general public, NGOs or governmental organisations. |
| Investments have shown a reasonable return providing regular income to the charity. Increased interest rates have provided an opportunity to further invest funds which has been agreed by the board. |
| Elvington Lane Development land (Area 3) was placed on the open market on 7th May 2024. For a while a sale to a local developer, using housing association funding looked hopeful however this fell through in September 2025 and the land was remarketed early October 2025. |
| Charity Development |
| The objects of the charity are: - |
| "To promote the positive mental health, wellbeing and development of children and young people through all and any means both preventative and restorative; to include, but not limited to, psycho-education, therapy/counselling, physical activity, social skills, linguistic and communication enrichment, emotional support, parental engagement and support." |
| This was agreed by the Charity Commission on September 11th 2021. |
| BLUEBERRY WELLBEING LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01443289) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 |
| In light of the broad objects the trustees felt that the focus of the charity's current level of donations would be best used through targeting more specific areas thought to be most beneficial in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people (CYP). However, these goal areas/strands are fluid and can be extended, added to or changed as the trustees see fit. There is also the capacity to support one-off donations so long as the original objects of the charity are met. The current strands are |
| 1. Supporting parents/carers to develop strong attachment relationships with their CYPs. |
| 2. Supporting Deaf CYPs due to high level of mental health issues in this community. |
| 3. Use of the natural environment to support mental health and wellbeing. |
| 4. Creative approaches using art, performing arts etc |
| Projects have continued to be identified within CICs and Charities which could support these specific goal areas from the Charity's objects. The main focus strands of the charity are being maintained, however there remains a high level of flexibility ensuring that organisations that provide excellent services to support CYPs can receive donations. |
| Donations |
| The charity donated £66,800 in total during the financial year 2025-2026. Funds for donation are received quarterly from investments at Barratt and Cooke stockbrokers. Additional monies are sourced from savings accounts. Additionally, a donation of £2,000 was returned from Woven, as the project came to an early conclusion and also the return of charity funds from the eventual closure of a historic savings account with NS&I. |
| Generally, donations continue to be given to Charities and CICs where monies are ringfenced to focus on specific activities/projects which are always closely aligned with goals from the Charity's objects identified above: these are initially ascertained in discussion with the organisation and clarified through the Blueberry's application form. However, there is also flexibility in donating activities and smaller donations are given to other charities such as Buddy Bags; providing that the work of the charity fits with the overall objects of Blueberry. |
| Over the financial year 2025/2026 money was donated to East Kent Equine Therapy and Learning, Spurgeons, Nine Acres, AVUK, London Rowing Club and Buddy Bags. Two new organisations were identified as suitable and selected following receipt of the application form. Families United and The Church Street Project applied and were considered appropriate for the Attachment and Creative strands respectively. |
| East Kent Equine Therapy and Learning CIC |
| Strand - use of outdoors |
| The ongoing work being carried out at the stables is equine assisted therapeutic support. The target groups were Y6 transition students who have a diagnosis or show signs of ASD. |
| Local schools were approached by the project lead and children identified who met the criteria and who educational professionals believed would benefit from this intervention were selected. |
| Spurgeons |
| Strand - Attachment |
| The trustees consider this an ideal charity to receive donations due to their focus on the mental health of children and young people providing counselling, family support workers, parenting courses and two preschool groups. The Charity supports parents to build positive attachments with their children both with online courses and session work with vulnerable families face to face. It is agreed with Spurgeons that money donated would be ringfenced to support disadvantaged families with young children through the family workers team. |
| Nine Acres project |
| Strand - Use of the outdoors |
| Highworth School received a grant to enable two small groups of YPs experiencing high levels of anxiety to have weekly sessions at Nine Acres, a local outdoor resource, that uses the outdoors and nature to facilitate wellbeing and self-awareness leading to the reduction of anxiety and prevention of school refusal. The groups take place throughout the academic year and different groups of YPs are selected each half term. According to need some YPs have their time in group extended. |

| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 |
| AVUK |
| Strand - Development of attachment relationships and supporting Deaf CYP. |
| This charity supports the development of oral language and communication of very young deaf children through supporting, guiding and educating parents to attune to their deaf child's needs, provide caring, encouraging relationships in linguistically rich, play based environments. Thereby supporting the development of positive attachment relationships between parents and their deaf child through communication and play. |
| London Youth Rowing |
| Strand - use of the outdoors |
| During the course of the year Nicol Thomas had received information about from an organisation 'London Youth Rowing' which provides rowing programmes for disadvantaged YPs to 'improve their physical, social, mental well-being'. This is considered a good fit for the strand of using the outdoors and physical activity to promote mental health and well-being. Nicol Thomas made initial contact and, following completion of the application form, a donation was made which provided indoor and on water rowing courses for groups of disadvantaged CYP and the purchase of two rowing machines to support these courses. |
| Buddy Bags |
| Strand - General |
| Following Emma Boyce's suggestion regarding a new strand to support CYPs in care (LAC) with an initial first step to donate to a charity that provides suitcases for CYPs moving within care or leaving care, given that CYP's vital personal possessions are often mislaid during the move leading to additional distress in, often, highly traumatic circumstances. Though the trustees were unable to find a charity that provided suitcases Buddy Bags were identified as a good fit; providing a backpack for CYP both for personal possessions and additional, age appropriate, practical and comfort giving items. |
| Church Street Project |
| Strand - Creative and general (counselling) |
| This is a small Folkestone project that has been providing counselling and art therapy to local CYPs for many years. Blueberry was approached by a member of their board. Following their application and a meeting funding was donated that will help to enable the charity to continue providing high quality, flexible counselling and art therapy services to local children where the needs of the children are met with a tailored approach. The experienced therapists have developed strong, supportive relationships with local schools for many years which supports the needs driven approach to be used. |
| Families United Network |
| Strand - Attachment and general |
| A charity that provides holiday clubs for families with disabled children and those with additional needs. |
| Finances and Investment update |
| Overview |
| The charity accounts remain healthy. Regular income is provided through investments enabling a significant level of donations to be made. |
| A contingency fund is maintained in current and savings accounts for charity running costs, unexpected costs that may occur through the process of obtaining planning permission and the subsequent sale of the Area 3 but also with a view to funding larger projects in the future once the land is sold! Charity costs are minimal; primarily due to having no employees. |
| All relevant information has been supplied to McCabe Ford Williams to enable them to undertake an Independent Examination of the Charity's 2025/2026 accounts. When complete this will be provided to the Trustees electronically ready for the AGM. |
| Investments and bank accounts |
| The Barratt and Cooke portfolio end of year valuations showed a decent result with funds remaining close to the initial investment at £1,894,332. This is in addition to the £65,000 drawn annually for the charity to cover costs and donations. |
| Bank accounts |
| BLUEBERRY WELLBEING LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01443289) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 |
| The Lloyds Current Account (The Treasurers Account) remains well resourced for the Charity's outgoings, including donations. |
| The 32 Notice account needs to be maintained with adequate funds to pay the promotor for surveys carried out during the Planning Permission Application process once the Elvington Lane development is sold or a second remarketing fails. Once the sale of Elvington Lane development site, Area 3, has been successfully completed the Lloyds 32-day Notice Account will be closed and the funds reinvested or used for grant making. |
| It was resolved by all trustees that £120,000 from the Instant Access Account will be invested with Cambridge and Counties Bank in a one year fixed interest savings account. However some funds would remain in this account should any legal or other unexpected issues arise due to the ongoing process of selling the development land. This account is in the process of being opened. |
| Monies from the historic NS&I account were unexpectedly returned to the Treasurers Account on 28th August and the account has been closed. |
| Planning Permission and sale of Area 3; Elvington |
| Background |
| Historically this Charity was set up in 1979 to provide an Outward Bound Centre for disadvantaged children. Land and the officer's mess (part of the Hawkinge Airfield) was purchased to provide this facility. The Centre ran successfully for a few years however financially it became untenable. The Charity Commission agreed that Hawkinge Activity and Adventure Centre (HAAC; as the charity was known historically) would become a dispensing charity. The village of Hawkinge was being developed at that stage so with planning permission for housing the land could provide valuable funds for the Charity. The land was divided into 3 tranches and Area 1 and 2 were sold. All debts were repaid and, following the sale of Area 2, the charity was left with a significant boost to funds which were invested to provide a regular income to dispense grants to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. |
| Planning Permission |
| The Charity land at Elvington Road, Hawkinge (Area 3) comprises 12.9 Acres. Part of the land is to be donated to The Hawkinge Battle of Britain Museum (KBOBM), as part of the Grant of Planning Permission agreement with Folkestone and Hythe Planning Council, for expansion (2.69 Acres). Part of the land has a covenant which restricts its usage to social and recreational purposes. This area will provide outdoor recreational space (2.2 Acres) and an overflow carpark for the KBOBM (1.2 Acres). The development land extends to 8 Acres and has Planning Permission for 110 houses. |
| Promotion agreement with Dean Lewis Estates |
| Blueberry Wellbeing Ltd (HAAC) has an ongoing promotion agreement with Dean Lewis Estates (The Promotor) to obtain Satisfactory Planning Permission for Area 3 which was signed on 18th March 2018. Once planning permission was obtained the land is be sold to provide further grant making funds for the charity. The process for obtaining planning permission was commenced around January 2021; nearly 3 years after the promotion agreement was signed. The application was submitted 23/12/21. The delay meant the Lapse Date and Extended Lapse Date passed. The Lapse of the Promotion Agreement meant that the charity could have ended its relationship with the Promotor (Dean Lewis Estates) and the Land Agent (Hobbs Parker), however it was decided that the sale of the land and the possible ongoing need to maintain the planning permission on Area 3 would be facilitated through continuing to use the agents who had been involved for 7 years. Hence a second 'Deed of Variation' was agreed with Dean Lewis Estates and signed on 28th March 2024. |
| The second Deed of Variation expressly states that should a should a sale not be completed by 5th February 2028 'The Promotion Agreement' with Dean Lewis Estates will lapse. |
| The second 'Deed of Variation' also lays out a highly streamlined 'Sales and Marketing Process' which the Trustees negotiated to prevent prospective purchasers reneging on their initial commitments which could be detrimental for the charity. The Deed was negotiated with the advice from the charity's solicitors: Tees Law. |
| The Promotor is contracted through the Promotion Agreement to maintain planning permission until February 2028. The current 3 year permission ends in February 2027. |
| BLUEBERRY WELLBEING LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01443289) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 |
| Update on marketing and sale of Area 3, Elvington Lane, Hawkinge. |
| A prospective purchaser was chosen and negotiations were completed on agreeing the 'Heads of Terms' for the sale in September 2025. In light of the trustees previous experiences selling development land they have been stringent in their requirements of the buyer; setting strict time lines for completion, simultaneous exchange and completion for the total amount offered with no staggered payments, the purchaser to buy the whole piece of land, no negotiation on the original offer price, and a legal undertaking to pay the charity's legal and Charity Commission S119 valuation report costs should they fail to complete within the time frame, fail to pay the full asking price or withdraw from the sale for any other reason. All legal negotiations have been undertaken with advice from the Charity's solicitors; Tees Law. |
| Both the Solicitors and agent have been instructed to provide all updates as the sale proceeds. The completion date was to be on or before 11th July 2025. The purchaser requested extra time to complete the sale which was only agreed to the exceptional level of the offer which would have exponentially increased the work the charity could have carried out. However the purchaser then reneged on the original offer and it was agreed that this was unacceptable to the trustees. Before the board's decision was conveyed to the purchaser they then pulled out of the sale. This resulted in them having to pay the charity's legal costs. It was agreed that the Board's pre-emptive legal actions were successful in preventing loss of funds to unreliable purchasers and have met with the trustee's fiduciary duties. |
| The land was immediately remarketed in October 2025 without much success to date. In part this is due to recent global and national circumstances. |
| The sales negotiations have continued to be difficult, stressful and very time consuming to enable the best outcome for Blueberry Wellbeing Ltd to continue to support, and to hugely increase, the work being carried out to achieve positive mental health outcomes for children and young people. |
| Board of Trustees |
| Board Composition |
| Currently the board continues to be well balanced with skilled practitioners experienced in mental health, Deafness, psychotherapy, education, accounting, finances, commercial real estate, organisational structure, communication, HR, business and charity governance. A trustee offered their resignation but was persuaded to continue and was voted back onto the board at the AGM. The makeup of the board will be revisited in the next financial year to ensure its skill set meets any new challenges and to ensure required trustee turnover. |
| Administration |
| Policies for Financial Controls, Safeguarding, Investments, Conflict of Interest, Financial Reserves and Expenses have been updated. |
| Identification for each of the charity Trustees with GOV.UK One has been completed. The ID numbers for each board member have been provided to the secretary. |
| Consideration of best timings of board meetings |
| Despite best efforts from previous discussions the realistic timing of the AGM to enable time for the end of year accounts to be compiled and delivered to McCabe Ford Williams and then to be produced ready for the AGM seems to be August. The EGM will then take place in December. This will enable grant funds to be reported effectively at two points during the course of the financial year and final grants for the final 3 months of the year to be decided ready for the end of the financial year of the year. |
| Concluding remarks |
| The year has been highly successful for the charity in supporting the promotion of positive mental health in children and young people through a variety of goal areas, provided by the chosen organisations, believed by the trustees to offer the best opportunity for successful outcomes. |
| The charity remains well funded and will continue to seek out charities and organisations that further enhance and develop the objectives of Blueberry Wellbeing Ltd. |

| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Investment policy and objectives |
| Following research of investment options in order to produce an income for the charity, investments have been made through a nationally recognised reputable company established in 1880 and registered with the FSA and The London Stock Exchange. Income from these investments will enhance the scope of donations to be made as a dispensing charity as approved by the Charity Commission. |
| As at the year end, listed fixed investments held by the charity were valued at £1,837,057 and current asset investments at £57,275 . |
| Reserves policy |
| The charity had total reserves of £6,747,155 (2025 - £6,677,633), of which £4,274,889 (2025 - £4,274,889) relates to the property revaluation fund which is not distributable until realised. There are no restricted or designated reserves held by the charity. |
| Members' liability |
| The Members of the company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company in the event of winding up. |
| FUTURE PLANS |
| Strategic Development |
| The Charity will continue to focus on specific targeted areas which are considered to be most beneficial for the promotion of well-being and the amelioration of mental health issues for children and YP; |
| - Supporting the Mental Health and Wellbeing of Deaf CHYPs |
| - Attachment work with families of young children |
| - Using the natural environment as a tool to improve Children and young people's mental health |
| - Creative approaches using art, performing arts etc |
| Increased funds from land sale |
| The trustees have had previous experience with selling the Charity Land on two occasions. Neither time proved to be straightforward or rapid! Alongside guidance from the Charity's solicitors the trustees negotiated new terms in the second 'Deed of Variation' (28/03/2024) that should make this sale process less likely to be complex or delayed, however it is not possible to plan for every eventuality and until the sale is completed with new funds safely transferred into the Charity's bank account the trustees remain constrained in their expectations of an uncomplicated, speedy outcome. |
| However plans for the future, once the sale has completed, will be made around investments, contingency funds, yearly budgets for grant making, additional areas of focus, possible larger projects, accounting changes, size and skill set of the board, organisational structure. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
| Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
| The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. |
