TRUSTEES' REPORT for the Year Ended 30 November 2021

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 30 November 2021. 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

Objectives and aims

The Asha Foundation ('Asha') is a registered charity, number 1058320, founded in 1996 which brings people and communities together, whatever their background and belief, to celebrate and honour our shared heritage. The Trust Deed is the Memorandum and Articles of Association as last revised and amended on 31 January 2002. Asha's objectives are:

The beneficiaries are people of diverse ethnic and national origin, and Asha's aims include the provision of buildings, facilities and open space, as well as the provision of opportunities for training, interaction and volunteering. We consider these objectives and the activities, both by definition and in practice to be of benefit to the public as demonstrated by the support from national and international authorities with whom Asha has engaged.

Public benefit

In setting objectives and planning activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in the running of the charity.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

The dominant feature of the year was the interruption by the pandemic to courses for European and overseas students enrolled to attend courses at the Asha Centre. Whilst grant income reduced substantially, some relief was had from the furlough programme. Staff losses occurred through departures and sickness. Many volunteers had returned to countries of origin by the start of the period, while others were prevented by local restrictions on travel. Fresh volunteers were welcomed in October.

Courses resumed towards the end of the year, and two were successfully completed (but Covid returned in the following period and led to abandonment of that course).

During these interruptions, much forward planning took place to enable the already approved courses to be held before the end of the Euro Runoff period in 2023.

At the same time the Foundation has put plans in place to deal with the adjustments foreseen by the consequences of Brexit. A renovation programme to buildings at Church Farm and the Asha Centre will enable other accommodation to be released and superior accommodation built with the prospect of an arts Centre on the same site. At the same time a collaboration with the Trustees of the Purie Harwell trust has been developed for the construction of the Forest Arts and Wellness Centre at Church farm which has also attracted the support of the Rural Development Programme for England who have approved an application for some funding for this project.

Whilst the future will be a challenging one the Trustees are confident that these developments will provide the most likely way to ensure the future of the Foundation.

The Foundation's objects continue to be entirely charitable in the field of education and training, involving areas such as diversity, sustainability, tolerance, human rights and artistic expression.

TRUSTEES' REPORT for the Year Ended 30 November 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Investment policy and objectives

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit. In view of current market uncertainties, Trustees have invested in fixed term deposits where returns are reasonable and the investment is low risk.

Trustees endeavour to hold sufficient liquid funds to pay for ongoing activities; any surplus being held for income generation. The principal source of funds during the year was interest on deposits and fixed term deposits; the returns were disappointing due to the low rates of interest.

Reserves policy

The charity maintains sufficient balances in its current account to meet its immediate expenses, the balance being held in term deposit accounts to provide interest income. It has substantial liquid reserves arising from the sale of its property in London some years ago, which are being retained to provide income. Going forward the Trustees intend to operate the charity on a no surplus/no deficit basis.

Post year-end events

Prior to the Covid emergency, Asha had pursued its diversification strategy by acquiring the farmland and buildings at Church Farm, Abenhall, Gloucestershire. Planning permission was obtained for a Visitor Centre which will enable more groups and more varied courses to be offered. Construction work on the new Centre was commenced after a long pause caused principally by the pandemic, and was started in February 2022 with an intended completion at the end of the year.

During the pandemic, volunteer staff were returned to countries of origin while core staff who reside on the premises remained. Some voluntary activities continued while courses were postponed. Following the lifting of restrictions the remaining courses have now recommenced.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, its memorandum and articles of association in lieu of a deed of trust, and is constituted as a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

A new Trustee may be appointed by an Ordinary Resolution to act as a Trustee of the Charity. As set out in the Articles of Association, one third of the Trustees are subject to retirement annually by rotation, depending on the longest in office since their appointment or reappointment at the Annual General Meeting.

Organisational structure

Asha is governed by the Trustees, who meet as often as necessary. Day to day operations are delegated to the Chief Executive, Zerbanoo Gifford, who liaises directly and frequently with one or more of the trustees.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Risk management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. All significant activities are subject to risk review as part of the initial project assessment and implementation. The Trustees review the major risks that the Foundation faces on a regular basis and controls are established as appropriate.

The key controls used by the Foundation include:

Through the controls established for running of the Foundation, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified are adequately mitigated, where necessary. It is recognised that controls established can only provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

THE ASHA FOUNDATION

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES for the Year Ended 30 November 2021

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Asha Foundation 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 which 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to

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

In so far as the trustees are aware:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ASHA FOUNDATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Asha Foundation (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 November 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 6

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ASHA FOUNDATION

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We identified areas of law and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from: our charity and sector experience; our accountancy and tax knowledge; inspection of the Charity's relevant correspondence; a review of Companies House and Charity Commission filings; and discussions with management and the Trustees. We discussed laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indication of non-compliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of the law and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.

Firstly, the Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation and tax legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

Secondly, the Charity is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts disclosed in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: health and safety, and employment laws and regulations, recognising the nature of the Charity's activities. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiries of management, and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. These limited procedures did not identify actual or suspected non-compliance.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. As with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 30 November 2021

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Asha Foundation is a registered charity, incorporated in the United Kingdom as a company limited by guarantee. General information about the charity can be found within the Trustees' Report. The functional and presentational currency of the charity is British Sterling (£). The charity is a public benefit entity.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Judgements and estimation uncertainty

The financial statements have been prepared using the following judgements and estimations: the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets has been estimated and tangible fixed assets are subject to corresponding depreciation rates; debtors are assessed for recoverability with doubtful debts provided for.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - Straight line over 50 years Plant & machinery - 33% on reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

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

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Investments

Investments are comprised of funds put on fixed term deposit with a maturity of more than 3 months but less than 1 year from the balance sheet date.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Pension costs

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a money purchase defined contribution pension scheme. Any employees joining the money purchase pension scheme, contract directly with the insurance company. The group makes contributions to the individual schemes of employees and acts as agent in collecting and paying over employee pension contributions. The contributions made for the accounting period are treated as an expense.

Grants receivable

Revenue grants receivable are recognised in the period when received. Capital grants are recognised over the estimated useful life of the related asset.

Debtors and creditors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered, less any provision for unrecoverable amounts.

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discounts.
