OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims for the public benefit
The objects of the trust are for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit. The main aims are to create an equal world where every girl has a voice and a choice.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have considered the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when setting the grant making policy for the year. The trust complies with its public benefit responsibilities by making grants to individuals and institutions for charitable purposes in support of its stated objectives and aims.
Grantmaking
The trustees prefer to adopt a proactive approach to seek charities that best fit with their aims. The trustees currently focus their funding on the following activities:
-
Supporting organisations and initiatives that help adolescent girls to become healthy, educated, empowered and confident, and promote gender equity
-
Building evidence and best practice of scalable initiatives and programs that help adolescent girls live in a gender equal world
-
Helping to build stronger charitable organisations who can successfully scale their work with adolescent girls or work to improve gender equity
-
Focusing on the most disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals and communities in India
-
Supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable young people nationally and overseas
Grant-making criteria
In line with their current strategy, the trust will consider supporting organisations that can demonstrate:
-
Compelling evidence of program success and deep impact on their beneficiaries
-
That they have worked at some level of scale and are keen to work at greater scale
-
That they have effective leadership, policies and management practices
-
That they are experienced in norm change at a community, wider district, or national level
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity made grants during the year to promote and improve the education, health and empowerment of adolescent and young women in India, and to build emotional resilience and strength in disadvantaged young people in the UK.
Fundraising activities
The trust is funded principally by gifts from the founders. Additionally income generated from investing the funds are used to further the charity's objectives.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The principal source of funds comprise investment returns and gifts from Peter Smitham.
Investment policy and objectives
The Kiawah Trust has been advised by its Investment Managers (Handelsbanken Wealth & Asset Management) to modify its investment portfolio approach. This is to ensure that short term liquidity requirements should be covered by Cash and a Defensive Investment Portfolio Strategy which is more liquid and should be less volatile . Longer term requirements for donations can be covered by Balanced Strategy Portfolio which should produce superior returns for longer term requirements . This proposal was accepted by The Kiawah Trust - Trustees.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The charity has no significant requirement to retain reserves as the governance and other running costs are minimal and the trustees' aim is to make grants of all available funds over a 10 year period.
FUTURE PLANS
The main strategy of the trust is to promote and improve adolescent girl health, education and empowerment in India. The trust is keen to collaborate with and fund alongside other funders and social sector organisations in order to build strong evidence of impactful programs and to scale them.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust dated 2 December 2004 and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Peter and Lynne Smitham are trustees for life and the number of trustees shall be a minimum of two and a maximum of six. Trustees will be appointed by the existing trustees and retiring trustees maybe re-appointed.
Organisational structure
The trustees meet regularly to review the progress of current grants and grantees, to discuss visits made to grantees, to consider grants to be made, to review their investments and their investment strategy and performance, and to consider reserves and risk management policies.
Induction and training of new trustees
The induction process for any newly appointed trustee comprises an initial meeting with the existing trustees. The new trustees will be provided with a copy of the Charity Commission's guidance 'The Essential Trustee: What you need to know', a copy of the trust deed and a copy of the latest accounts and Trustee's Report.
Related parties
The trust was established by an initial gift from Peter Smitham who is a trustee and a founder of the trust.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The trustees make single annual grants and multi-year grants. All organisations or individuals that are considered for funding undergo detailed and rigorous due diligence by the trustees and their advisors. This takes the form of written information and personal visits to meet the management and see programs in action.
Trustees endeavour to assure themselves that the organisations they consider funding are transparent and sound in their fiduciary, financial and management practices and policies, and that that they will use Kiawah Trust funding for entirely charitable purposes. Funding is conditional upon regular reports and feedback from the recipient on their progress against plan.
Where appropriate, multi-year funding commitments are governed by a legal agreement between the Kiawah Trust and the grantee. Where multi-year grants are agreed, trustees ensure that there are sufficient funds invested to cover the term commitment.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have assessed to the best of their abilities the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure that the charity can maintain it's day to day activities. The trustees will take whatever measures they consider to be required during this time to enable the charity to continue its operations.
INCOME
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
ALLOCATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
Resources expended are allocated directly to the fund to which they relate.
TAXATION
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
The endowment fund is restricted in that the funds were provided to provide a capital base in order to generate an income to make grants in the course of the charity's activities. The endowment is however expendable at the discretion of the trustees.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
