THE KITCHEN TABLE CHARITIES TRUST
TRUSTEE'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Trust has been established to aid small charities struggling to suNive through lack of ability to
raise funds themselves. Grants are given to small Gharities, which are supporting the most vulnerable
people in some of the poorest parts of the world. Grants are primarily made to charities already known
to the trustee.
Public Benefit..
The funds are raised for distribution to smaller charities, in countries suffering from poverly and
deprivation. that help in providing education and healthcare and the facilities needed for developing
sustainable living.
In planning the Fund's grant-making Ihe trustee has kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance
on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trust has Gontinued to receive a regular flow of income from its loyal supporters. This continued
donor support has enabled the trustee to make awards to 28 {2020.' 27) different organisations. Whilst
in many cases the sums involved are relatively small, the awards made have had significant impact on
the beneficiary organisations.
Covid-19.'
Income from investments has fallen as a result of the pandemic, however, with the increase in
donations, the trust has been able to maintain its grant-making programme. The majority of
developmental projects financed by the trust are in remote, rural, areas where Covid-19 is having a
limited impact. However. before approving the payment of grants, the trust takes the precaution of
seeking assurances from SUC￿ssful applicants that the pandemic will not prevent their project from
starting or being completed successfully. There have undoubtedly been delays and some disruption
including diffiGuIty in accessing funds due to the temporary suspension of banking services in some
African countries, despite this the trust continues lo re￿1ve regular project progress reports and is not
aware of any projects that have failed to be completed because of Covid-19 restrictions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF
THE KITCHEN TABLE CHARITIES TRUST
I report to the trustee on my examination of the accounts of The Kitchen Table Charities Trust ('the
charity,) for the year to 30th June 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustee of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordan￿ with
the requirements of the Charities Ad 2011 ('the 2011 Act,).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the
2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the appliGable Directions given by the
Charity Commission under section 14515)(b) of the 2011 Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an
audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion
on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an
independent examination can provide. Consequently, l express no opinion as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair view, and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the
independenl examiner's statement.
Independent examiner's ststement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in
connection with Ihe examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect..
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the
2011 Act., or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records., or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements con￿mIng 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2021
Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at
cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notels} to these accounts. The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended
Practice.. Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS102) issued
on 16th July 2014; updated 2nd February 2016 and Charities AGt 2011.
The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only
to the extenl required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the
Stalemenl of Recommended Practi￿ for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of
the Statement of Recommended PraGtice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has
since been withdrawn.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the funGtional currency of the scheme. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The scheme has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS
102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
Going concern
The trustee is aware that the Covid-19 pandemic may redu￿ the amount of income available
for distribution of grants, despite this, the trustee has reasonable expectation Ihal the trust will
be able to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Thus the going concern basis of
accounling in preparing the annual financial statements has been used.
Fund accounting
Unrestricled funds are public donations and investment income and are available for use at the
discretion of the trustee, in aGcordance with the charity's objectives.
RestriGled funds are subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor or grant
making body. All restricted funds are accounted for as restricted income and expendilure for
the purposes is charged to the fund. (See detail in note 9).
Investments
In accordance with Statement of ReGommended Practi￿.. Accounting and Reporting by
Charities {20151, investments held as fixed assets are stated at markel value. Realised and
unrealised gains and losses are dealt with as movements on the Capital Fund. Investments are
valued at the mid-market price on the valuation date.
Income recognition
Donations are recognised upon receipt by the organisation. Gift Aid recovery is recognised
when received. Legacies are accounted for upon receipt or where the receipt of the legaGy is
virtually certain and the value is known, this will be once confirmation has been received from
the representatives of the estate thal payment of the legacy will be made or property
transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy are fulfilled. Investment income
comprises fixed asset investment distributions and interest received and is recognised when
credited to the Trust account. Investment income is stated on an accruals basis.

THE KITCHEN TABLE CHARITIES TRUST

Accounting policies continued......
Expenditure recognition
Raising funds refer to charges from the bank for administering credit card donations and foreign
currency. Charitable activities includes grant funding, along with associaled support costs, to
charitable organisations. These are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities when
payment has been agreed. Recommendations on grants are made by John Humphrys, Brian
Donaldson and William Fulton. Governan￿ costs relate to Gompliance with constitutional and
statutory requiremenls and specifically include all costs incurred by the Trust in producing the
Annual Repori and the audit fee. Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as
there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include Gash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-
term liquid investments with original malurities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments, and
Section 12 '0ther Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of ils financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes
paty to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial
statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Basic finan¢ial assets
Basic financial assets. which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially
measured at Iransaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at
amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement conslilutes a
financing transaction, where the Iransaclion is measured at the present value of the future
receipts discounted at a market rate of interesl. Financial assets classified as receivable within
one year are not amortised.
Basic financlal liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at
transaGtion price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt
instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate
of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised Gost, using the effective interesl rate
method.
