THE JOSH CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021

Trustees

Trustees who served during the year were as follows:

Trustee and Chairman: Mr J Cope Trustee: Mrs S Cope

The Settlor has the power to appoint or remove Trustees during his lifetime and thereafter the Trustees have the authority to appoint and remove further Trustees at their discretion.

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2021.

Statement of trustees responsibilities.

Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure account of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that this basis applies.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the accounting regulations.

Legal status

The charity is constituted by a Deed of Settlement dated 16 June 2004 amended on 18 August 2004 and is registered with the Charity Commissioners No 1107060. It is administered by Trustees.

Objectives of the charity

The charity's objectives are to apply the income and all or such parts of the capital for or towards such charitable purposes and to make donations to such charitable institutions as the Settlor and his Successors shall direct the Trustees to do.

Review of activities

The charity received £67,299 (2020 £126,175) in donations including tax reclaim during the year. The charity donated £68,842 (2020 £138,230) to eighteen (2020 thirty five) worthy causes, after having had due regard to the Charity Commissioners guidance on public benefit.

Investment policy

The Deed of Settlement allows the Trustees to hold any freehold or leasehold property, purchase shares, make loans, hold funds, securities or other investments.

General fund

The Statement of Financial activities for the year shows a surplus (deficit) for the year of £445

It is the policy of the Trustees to balance income with expenditure over time, whilst maintaining an adequate general fund to meet current liabilities and charitable commitments. The general fund covers two months expenditure and the Trustees are of the view that this is satisfactory.

REPORT OF THE EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JOSH CHARITABLE TRUST

I have examined the financial statements on pages 5 to 8 which have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 7.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on page 2 you are responsible as trustees for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirements of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 43(7(b)) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Financial Statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Financial Statements, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no audit opinion is expressed on the view given by the Financial Statements.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

have not been met: or

2) to which in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
