The Charity, its Trustees and Advisers
Sole Trustee (director) from April 1st 2024 to 31 March 2025: Robert Venables K.C.
The Charity has no external advisers
History
The charity was created by the director in May 1992 in memory of Yves Francois Guihannec, principally as a means of channelling his own charitable giving. It is a company limited by guarantee incorporated under the laws of England Wales. The object of the charity under its Memorandum of Association is the promotion of any charitable purpose or object and it is established for charitable purposes only. The income and property of the charity is to be applied solely towards the promotion of its objects and no portion thereof may be paid or transferred directly or indirectly, by way of dividend, bonus, or otherwise howsoever by way of profit to the Members of the charity.
Objectives and Activities
The charity does not conduct independent charitable activities of its own. It receives donations (largely or exclusively from its director or associated companies) and then makes grants to other charities.
The charity has no premises or staff of its own. It is provided free of charge with premises and office facilities by its director. It pays no fee or remuneration to its director or any third party (other than the examiner).
Given that the charity has no staff, it does not encourage solicitations for grants from other charities.

Appointment of New Trustees (Directors)
The director is one of Her Majesty’s Counsel practising in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. No other trustee has been appointed since creation of the charity.
Reserves
In the year to March 31st 2025 the charity’s reserves were £87,596. Because the charity has negligible operating expenses, it does not need a policy on reserves.
Public Benefit
The director considers that the charity has complied with its duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
Objectives and Activities
The charity’s objects are to make grants to other charities out of whatever funds may be donated to it. It has not in 2024/25 incurred expense on fundraising activities.
Achievements and Performance
Given the very limited nature of the charity’s objectives and activities, there is no appropriate measure of achievements or performance.

TDAS LTD The Yves Guihannec Foundation Studley Priory Horton Cum Studley Oxford OX33 1AY January 26th 2026 Dear Mr Venables, I have now examined the Yves Guihannec Foundation Trust Accounts and from this and the explanations given along with the supporting documentation. l am satisfied the accounts reflect a true and accurate account of the of the foundation's activities, liabilities, and equity for the period 1 St April 2024 through to 3151 March 2025, Several observations I've made as follows: An item that did crop up one was for faster bank payments; I would advise these to be allocated to bank charges, total this year is £60 which is immaterial to the accounts. The comment re chattels being sold does not raise any cOnrnS. The request from a couple of years ago to revalue the trust's investment unfortunately has still not happened. Please consider performing this action for this year, as it is now fast approaching the end of another financial year March 2026. l am pleased with the improvement in processes and the paperwork trail that I recommended has taken place. A recommendation that a review of the trust's purpose and objectives has not yet been actioned. Tthe last review was performed over six years ago, remains outstanding. The purpose of the review is to ensure the trust is keeping in line with its original intentions and objectives. Yours Sincerely TDuff F.M.A.A.T.
