Act 2011 and 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)
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Trust has been established to aid small charities struggling to survive through lack of
ability to raise funds themselves. Grants are given to small charities, 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 poverty
and deprivation,. that help in providing education and healthcare and the facilities needed for
developing sustainable living.
In planning the Fund's grant-making the trustee has kept in mind the Charity Commission's
guidance on public benefit.
Grant-making Process:
Recommendations on grants are taken by John Humphrys on behalf of the settlors with
support from Brian Donaldson, a former British Ambassador in East Africa, and William
Fulton, who has operated a charity in Tanzania for many years. Both have enormous
knowledge of the problems facing the world's poorest people, especially children, and vast
experience in helping them.
On the basis of recommendations re￿]ved, the trustee makes awards in accordance with
the Charity's objectives.
Achievements and Perfonnance
The Trust has continued to receive a regular flow of income from its loyal supporters. This
continued donor support has enabled the trustee to make awards to 40 {2023: 34) different
organisations. Whilst in many cases the sums involved are relatively small. the awards made
have had significant impact on the beneficiary organisations.
Financial Review
Investment income of £309,466 (2023: £88.881) was received during the year. This funded
grants of £216,000 (2023: £189,646) to charitable organisations. Capital investments
decreased in value from £274,313 to £245,272 {2023: decreased in value from £330,605 to

of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable
Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be

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 independent examinerfs statement.
Independent examiner's statement

attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in
any material respect.

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￿rning 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.
