THE MICHAEL TESTLER CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2025
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 need for recruitment of 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 2025 of £208,864 (2024 - £264,262) 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.
