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** The objectives of the trust as set out in its governing document are: To donate funds to support organisations/institutions internationally which provide religious or otherwise educations to poor and needy children. To donate funds to support organisations/bodies which advance religion or provide public services; Support and provide funds to organisations/institutions which relieve sickness and preserve and protect good health. The charity's main objective is the relief of poverty. Rhodi Charitable Trust seeks to make immediate and lasting improvement to the lives of people affected by poverty and disaster. The charity's aim is to achieve this by responding to peoples' needs in a way that is practical, innovative and cost effective. When planning activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit. ## **Achievement and performance** The charitable trust has continued its commitment to assist local, national and international projects. In accordance to the charity's aims and objectives. Donations have been made to various causes which the trustees consider to have provided Public Benefit. Financial assistance was also provided to various poor and vulnerable individuals such as orphans and widows who required funds for food, shelter and clothing. The charity continues to operate and finance six Multi-Faith Facilities at various motorway service stations across the UK, providing a much needed amenity to thousands of travellers. ## **Financial review** It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equate to approximately 12 months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **Governance and internal control** The trustees actively review the major risk which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
