THE MICHAEL TESTLER CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022
Objectives
The Trustees shall apply the trust’s income to such charities and for such charitable purposes as they shall in their absolute discretion, think fit.
Structure, governance and management
The Michael Testler Charitable Foundation is constituted under a Trust Deed dated 11 December 2000. It is a registered charity (charity number 1084840). The Trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1. Where there is a recruitment for the new Trustees, they would be identified and appointed by the remaining Trustees.
The charity is organised so that the Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. It does not employ any full or part time staff but its administration is managed under the direction of the trustees by consultants.
Risk Management
The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced, so that such risks are continuously monitored and appropriate steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
Reserves policy
The Trustees ensure there are adequate reserves to meet liabilities as they are due. All of the charity’s cash funds as at 31 March 2022 of £200,413 (2021 - £151,294) are general unrestricted funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity.
Reserves are held whilst research is performed to identify suitable recipients. Reserves balances are monitored on a regular basis by the Trustees, who review the level of reserves in the light of future funding requirements.
Grant making policy
Grants are awarded to beneficiaries at the discretion of the Trustees; ensuring grants awarded are in furtherance of the objects of the charity.
Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm that the activities of the charity are carried out in line with its charitable objects, for the benefit of the public.
The Trustees have continued to support charities in accordance with the trust objects. The Trustees hope and believe that donations made to charities they support have benefited the recipient organisations and individuals.
The Trustees therefore confirm that they have due regard for the Charity’s Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when setting the objects, and planning the activities, of the charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MICHAEL TESTLER CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Michael Testler Charitable Foundation
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 6.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination and 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records
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.
