What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: sufficient reserves to fund day to day activities for the coming year and pay advances for fundraising events, while distributing all additional reserves towards grant making... keep enough in reserves at the year end to cover the costs of holding the first event of the following year (held: £40k)
“The policy is to ensure there are sufficient reserves to fund day to day activities for the coming year and pay advances for fundraising events, while distributing all additional reserves towards grant making. Given that the majority of the charity’s costs is related to holding events, it is policy to keep enough in reserves at the year end to cover the costs of holding the first event of the following year.”
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: Donations received from FIA amounted to £54,883. FIA also provides financial and administrative support without charge, which is not valued as the motivation is philanthropic.
“Emma Davey, who is a trustee of Futures for Kids, was an employee of FIA until leaving in 2024. FIA hosts fundraising dinners and golf events with the surplus being donated to Futures for Kids. Donations received during the year amounted to £54,883 (2024: £32,530). FIA also provides financial and administrative support to the charity without making any charge. It is not practical to value this gift because the motivation was philanthropic and not financial.” — page 15
