POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES** The Trust promotes projects that will enhance the public understanding of a broad range of specific issues and disciplines by school and university students and others. Dr M C Faulkes endowed the Trust in 1998 by transfer of listed UK securities which have been sold to provide funds for various projects considered and approved by the Trust. The key objectives of The Trust are: a) To assist financially selected research institute, college, university, school or other educational establishment (hereinafter called "School"), (b) To provide financial assistance or grants to any School, (c) To establish a periodical medal or prize at any School, (d) To endow any School with a lectureship, "chair" or similar position, (e) To promote research and the publication of the useful results of such research, (f) To provide scholarships, exhibitions, bursaries, maintenance allowances or financial assistance to any person or group of persons attending any School, (g) To promote lectures, seminars, conferences, teaching or other means whereby the public may be educated or informed, (h) To publish and disseminate any journal, books, writing or other information in any form and to commission any books or other disseminable information; and (i) Otherwise to further the education of the public. ## **b. ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES** Activities include the promotion of the study of mathematics, astronomy and geometry by grants to Universities and the endowment of PhD students. Education outreach is provided through the wholly owned subsidiary Faulkes Telescope Project Ltd (FTP). Page 2 **THE DILL FAULKES EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED** ## **(A Company Limited by Guarantee)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **Objectives and activities (continued)** ## **c. ACTIVITIES DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR** ## **1** . **EU Funded Projects** During the 2021-2022 Financial Year, the Dill Faulkes Educational Trust Ltd (DFET) has participated in three projects funded by the European Commission: - The Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure is a €10 million project funded through the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, with 50+ beneficiaries led by the University of Kent. Europlanet 2024 RI (https://www.europlanet-society.org) supports access to the world’s largest collection of simulation and analytical facilities for planetary science. The project launched on 1 February 2020 and will run until 31 July 2024. DFET is responsible for media, social media, education and sustainability tasks within the project - EXPLORE is a €2 million project funded through the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, with eight beneficiaries (four of which are also involved in Europlanet 2024 RI) and led by the French company, ACRI-ST. EXPLORE (https://explore-platform.eu/) is developing scientific data applications that use artificial intelligence (AI) and visual analytics to exploit the vast datasets generated by astrophysics and planetary missions. The project launched on 1 November 2020 and will run until 31 October 2023. DFET is responsible for communications for the project as well as the organisation of user workshops, public events and a ‘Data Challenge’. - LaSciL (Large Scientific Infrastructures enriching online and digital Learning) is a €0.299 million project funded through the Erasmus+ programme, with 5 beneficiaries led by DFET. LaSciL aims to enhance teachers’ digital preparedness and support high quality science teaching in situ and remotely. The project started on 30 June 2021 and runs for two years to 29 June 2023. As the project coordinator, DFET is responsible for overall management of the LaSCiL project and contributes to the development of five Intellectual Outputs (the LaSciL ‘Toolbox’ of high-quality digital tools for teachers), as well as providing training for teachers through UK-based Multiplier Events and international summer schools (Learning, Teaching, Training Activities). Note on the impact of Covid-19 on DFET involvement in EU projects: The pandemic has had a substantial impact on Europlanet 2024 RI, as the activities of the project are focused on enabling visits to sites and facilities and the organisation of workshops. A Grant Amendment request for a no-cost extension until 31 July 2024 was submitted to the European Commission in March 2022. This has been approved by the Project Officer, but has not yet been signed off by the Commission due to a delays in processing paperwork. The Grant Amendment also included a request for the transfer of additional funds to DFET (from overall project underspend) to cover communications and education staff costs for the final six months of the project. The EXPLORE and LaSciL projects will not be extended. However, LaSciL’s meeting activities have been impacted and the final amount claimed by the project may be reduced. ## **2. Prizes and Grants** Since 2021, DFET has provided sponsorship for two Europlanet Society annual programmes to support public engagement with planetary science: - The Europlanet Prize for Public Engagement is a cash award of €1,500 that is awarded to individuals or groups who have developed innovative and socially impactful practices in planetary science communication and education. Page 3 ## **THE DILL FAULKES EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED** ## **(A Company Limited by Guarantee)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **Objectives and activities (continued)** - The Europlanet Public Engagement Funding Scheme provides seed-funding of €1000-5000 for outreach activities. The scheme aims to foster new ways of sharing planetary science with different kinds of audiences across Europe (and beyond) through initiatives that combine research, learning, innovation and social development. In March 2022, DFET agreed to provide €15,000 over three years to support the International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC), a three-week long summer camp aiming to promote knowledge of astronomy and related sciences. It is organised by an international team of students and young scientists through the International Workshop for Astronomy (IWA) e.V. DFET has also supported training for Vix Southgate, an award-winning Children’s author and illustrator, who provides design, communications and administration services for DFET and the Europlanet and EXPLORE projects. ## **3. Faulkes Telescope Project** In the 2021-2022 Financial Year, DFET has continued an arrangement with the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) Global Telescope Network to sell 200 hours of its telescope time allocation and split the income with LCO. DFET’s share of the income has been used to support activities by its subsidiary company, Faulkes Telescope Project (FTP) Ltd to develop a business plan and run outreach activities. ## **4. FTP-Europlanet gUG** Lothar Kurtze, FTP Ltd and DFET are currently equal shareholders in the not-for-profit German company, FTPEuroplanet gemeinnützige Unternehmergesellschaft (haftungsbeschränkt) gUG, which was established in 2020 to enable the DFET/FTP/Europlanet team to participate in EU-funded projects after Brexit.

Following this review, the directors Page 6 ## **THE DILL FAULKES EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED** ## **(A Company Limited by Guarantee)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **Objectives and activities (continued)** concluded that FTP Ltd was not sustainable in the long-term and did not have a clear role that could not be carried out by DFET Ltd or FTP Europlanet gUG. The directors of FTP Ltd have approached the National Schools’ Observatory (NSO), hosted by Liverpool John Moores University, to investigate whether some form of arrangement could be made to integrate the DFET observing time-allocation within the NSO educational programme. The NSO Director, Andy Newsam, has expressed interest, particularly in using the DFET time for international education projects, and has agreed to put together a rough proposal for how this might be achieved. FTP Ltd will be wound up before the end of the 2022-2023 financial year. ## **6. Update on FTP Europlanet gUG** The first General Assembly of FTP Europlanet gUG was held on 8 July 2022 during a visit by Lothar Kurtze to London.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service. ## **2.4 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** ## **2.4 Expenditure (continued)** Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the acadamy trust's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. ## **2.5 Statement of Cash Flows** The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 102, paragraph 7.1B, from the requirement to produce a Statement of Cash Flows on the grounds that it is a small charitable company. ## **2.6 Investments** Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating Income and Expenditure Account. All investments are held primarily to provide an investment return for the charity. ## **2.7 Current asset investments** Current asset investments are recognised at fair value. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. ## **2.8 Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. ## **2.9 Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **2.10 Cash at bank and in hand** Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** ## **2.11 Creditors and provisions** Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. ## **2.12 Foreign currencies** Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating Income and Expenditure Account. ## **2.13 Taxation** The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **2.14 Financial instruments** The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. ## **2.15 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. Restriction arises when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
