RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have not entered in to any contractual commitments and do not have any ongoing expenditure. The Trustees therefore consider that it is unnecessary for the charity to hold any reserves.
RISK MANAGEMENT

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The trustees reviewed and accepted grant applications during the period under review. It is the trustees intention to continue to review grant applications in future and make donations where they see fit.
PROOF OF THE TRUST PUBLIC BENEFIT PURSUANT TO THE CHARITIES ACT 2011
In order to conform with guidance issued by the Charity Commission, a number of questions were addressed during the course of a general meeting, the answers to which gave the trustees reason to believe, firstly, that the activities of the charity passed the test of public benefit and that the charity was, accordingly, in compliance during the year ending 5 April 2022 with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, and, secondly, that the trustees had, during the period stated, executed their duties with due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance as detailed in the Charity Commission's guidance documents PB1, PB2, and PB3.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JOHNSON FAMILY CHARITABLE TRUST
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Johnson Family Chariable Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2022, which are set out on pages 4 to 7.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section145(5)(b) of the Act.
I have undertaken this examination in accordance with the requirements of the Auditing Practices Board Ethical Standards, including the "Provisions Available for Small Entities", in the circumstances set out in note 2 to these accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I 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:
-
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
(3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.
