THE WORKWELL TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The Trustees submit their annual report and the financial statements of The Workwell Trust for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Report by Charities” (SORP 2005) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Charity and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.

Structure, Governance and Management

The trustees who held office during the year were as follows:

Mr S J Constantine Mrs J M Constantine Mr M J Constantine Mrs E J Obojiofor Mrs C M Slinger

When appointing newly elected Trustees, The Workwell Trust has a policy of induction, which includes ensuring that they are fully aware of their responsibilities in relation to Charity Commission guidance and the charity’s objectives.

Objectives and Activities

The Workwell Trust has wide ranging objectives but in the most part supports other UK registered charities which demonstrate or promote values consistent with the Christian Faith.

Achievements and Performance

The Trust received gifts totalling £1,642,442 (2022 - £Nil) and donated £131,200 (2022 - £51,800) to other charities during the year. The trustees anticipate receiving and disbursing further funds in future years.

Financial Review

During the year, the Charity received a total income of £1,663,066 (2022 - £17,675) and an increase in value of investments of £76,186 (2022 – decrease in value of £75,768) and incurred expenditure of £133,600 (2022 - £52,400), which has resulted in a surplus for the year of £1,605,652 (2022 – deficit for the year of £110,493).

As at 31 December 2023, total funds stood at £2,337,120 (2022 - £731,468), of which £2,337,120 (2022 - £731,468) were unrestricted funds retained in order to achieve the objects of the Charity and £Nil (2022 - £Nil) were restricted funds.

THE WORKWELL TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Risk Assessment

Seeking a better level of return than cash on deposit as well as long term protection from inflation, a significant proportion of the Charity’s assets are held either in equities in discretionary management at Charles Stanley or in the COIF Charities Investment Fund, a multi-billion pound actively managed fund with a diversified portfolio of assets, mainly equities but also property, bonds and other asset classes. All other assets are held in cash at Lloyds Bank either in a current account or deposit account earning interest.

THE WORKWELL TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

We have audited the financial statements of The Workwell Trust for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Opinion on financial statements

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other matter

The corresponding figures for the year ended 31 December 2022 shown in the financial statements are derived from the financial statements for that period that were not audited.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statement and our auditor’s report thereon. 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 auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

THE WORKWELL TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 an auditor’s report 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

THE WORKWELL TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISA’s (UK).

In identifying and assessing risks of material mis-statement in respect of fraud, including irregularities and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
