TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
Th8 Trustees have pleasure In submitting their annual report together with the unaudited financlal statemenls
of the charity for the year 1 March 2024 to 28 February 2025.
Th8 financial ststements have been prepared in accordance with the arxounting policies set out in Note 1 to
the accounts and comply with the Charitys trust deed and appllcable law.
Objectives and Activities
a. Policies and objectlves
The Foundation was established by declaration of TnJ5t dated 15 January 2002.
b. A¢tlvltles for achieving objectlves
It's objects are:
supporting underprlvileged. disadvantaged children and young people In whatever way the Trustees in their
discretion see fit.
c. Main activities undertaken to further the charitys purposes
The Truslees, policy has been to allocate a large percentage of Ihe remainSng funds each year, rather than
saving it for consideration durlng future meetings, as it is so clearfy needed urgently now. The range in amount
of each donation remained in the region of £500 - £4.000. The Trustees are aware that the Foundation's nam8
encourages other funders and the confidence that gives in a budget will help the group gamer additlonal funds
elsewh8re. They therefore continue to invest their limited funds in smaller amounts to more groups. continuing
to give prlorlty to those for whom our donation will make a 51gnificant difference.
Active fundraising is not usually carried out. The charity continues to be fund8d from generous donations
received.
Achiovements and perfomiance
The Foundallon continues to provid8 financial support for projects and organisatlons that help disadvanlag8d,
underprtvllaged children and young people. Whilst many of the projects chosen for support mighl use
performance and the arts, the PTimary purpose is nol lo offer tralning for work in the m8di8. Projects are chosen
to enable participants to learn skillsets and assume qualitie5 that will help them Sn thelr prasent and adult life.
The essense is to broaden opportunities. and perspectives- and help them move towards parity wilh their more
fortunate peers. We continue to request feedback from supported projects. and reports this year have again
shown funds were put to excellent. and much appreciated use.
Th8 Trustees have compiled wilh the duty In s17(5) of the Charllles Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity
Commission's Public Benefit guidance when exercising any relevant powers or duties.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
Flnanclal review
As before. the funds that the Foundation offers in grants have come prlmarily from the personal support of
Trustee Shella Hancock. with a few people offertng small monthly contributions. However, in May 2021 it was
given £50,000 by Broadway Producer John Gore. an admirer of John's work, with the intention it cover the next
ten years at £5k a year tovRrds running costs. The funds are therefore ring fenced for annual use until the len
years expire.
Ganerous donations were receiv8d during the financial perlod, logether with Gift Aid. lotalling £190.493 (2024:
£52,155). Of that amount £136.981 was spent on the Charit￿s activities, with £132.123 being donated (2024:
£112.832), as analysed in the notes to the accounts.
There was a net increase in funds during the year of £53.512 (2024= net decrease of £67,203), resultlng In total
funds held as at Ihe balance sheel date of £97,569 (2024.. £44.057). Of thal amount. £30,000 was h81d as
Designated Funds and the remaining balance as Unrestricted Funds.
a. Principal risks and uncertalntles
The Trustees recognise the uncertainty chariti8s face currently and a150 the need lo protect the Foundation's
funds. They have resolved Ihal If a project is not fully funded at the time of applying, the Foundation 'pledges' a
donation to be paid on receiving confirmation that it is has been officially greenlll. Ther& can therefore be 8
delay and in those drcumstances. the pledge is carried over into the next financial year and provided for In the
accounts accordingly.
b. Reserves pollcy
The Trustees exGlude designated funds when considering an amount lo be held as reserv8s, as Ihey are
earmarked for specific use. The Trustees have reviewed the Unrestricted Income posilion and do not consider
there to be a need to requlre a set amount to be held in reserve. Accordingly. the Trustees treat the balance of
Unrestricted Income Funds as being held as free reserves. The policy will continue to be regularly reviewed.
Structure. governance and management
Constitution
The Foundation Is govemed by a board of Trustees, who are listed above and have served Ihroughout the
y8ar.

Accountlng Policies
1.1 Basis of preparatlon of financlal statements
The financlal statements have been prepared to give a Yrue and faif view and have departed from
the Charitie5 (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true
and fai¢ view. Thi5 departure has involved following the Charitles SORP {FRS 102} published on 16
July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charilies., Statement of Recommended
Praclice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention wlth ilams
recognised at cost or transaction value unless otheThvise stsled in the relevant notes to these
accounts. The finanGial slatements have been prepared in accordance wlth the Statement of
Recommended Practi￿.. Accounting and Reporting by Charities prepaTlng their accounts In
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
{FRS 102) Issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reportlng Standard appllcabl8 in the United
Kingdom and Republic of IrelarKI (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.
The John Thaw Foundation constiiuies a public benefft entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 Golng concern
Th8 Truslees have assessed whether the use of Going Concern is appropriate and have concluded
that the charity has adequate resources and reserves to enable it to continue in operational
existence for the foreseaable future and there are no material uncertalnties aboul the ¢harily's ability
to continue as a going conwn and thus Ihe Trustees (x)ntinue to adopt Ihe 'going concem, basis of
accounting in preparing the financial stalements.

Accounting Policies (contlnued)
1.3 Income
All income Is recognised once the charity has entitlement to th8 income, tt 18 probable that the
income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measurod reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken a5 the earlier of the dat8 on which either: the charily is aware that
probale has been granted. the estate ha5 been finalised and notification has be8n mad8 by the
executor(s) to the Trusl that a distribulion will be made, or when a dislribulion is re￿iVed from the
estat8. Receipt of a legacy. in whole or in part, Is only considered probable wh8n the amounl can
be measured reliably and the charity has been notifled of the executorfs intention to maka a
distrlbution. Where legacles hava been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the grantlng
of probate, and Ihe criteria for income recognition have nol been mel, then trie legacy is treatBd as
a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are re¢ognlsed when the charity has control over the item. any
conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the reoipt of economic benefit from
Ihe use of the charity of the item is probable and thal economic benefft can be measured reliably. In
accordance with the Charities SORP {FRS 102), the general volunteer tim8 of th8 Friends is not
recognised and refer lo the Trustees, report for more infomiation about thelr contribution.
On receipt. donated professional services and donated facilities are recognlsad on the basis of the
value of the gift to the charily which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to
obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding
amount is then recogni58d in expenditure in the perlod of receipt.
Income tax recoveTable In relation to donatlons received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is
recognised at the time of th6 donation.
Income recoverable In relation to investment income is reccgnised al the tim8 the investment

1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure Is recognlsed once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic
benefit to a Ihird pariy. it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in
settlement and the amount of the obltgalion can be measured reliably. Expenditure Is classlfied by
activity. The costs of each aclivity are made up of Ihe total of direct costs and shared costs.
including support costs involved in undertaking eaGh activity, Dlrect costs atiributable to a slngle
activty are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one aotivlly
and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those
activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central slaff costs are allocated on the
basis of tlme spent. and depreclatlon charges allocated on the portion of the assel's use.
Support costs are those costs incurred direcuy in support of expendlture on the objects of the
charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governanc8 cosls are those
incurred in connection with administratKin of Ihe charity and compliance with conslltulional and
statutory requirements.

a commilment. but not a[￿rUed as expenditure.

reliably by the charity,. thi5 is normally upon notification of the interast paid or payable by the Bank.

maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or oponlng of the deposit or simllar
account.

Liabilities ar8 r8cognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheèt date as a result of a past
event, it Is probable that a Iransfer of economic benefit will be required In settlement, and the
amount of the settlement can be eslimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at th8 amount that the
charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount il has re￿IVed as advancad payments
for the goods or servlces it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estlmate 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 liabilily. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within
