TRUSTEES REPORT 2021
| am very pleased to report that the Aimar Foundation has had another highly productive year in 2021 despite significant challenges with the global pandemic. In total, we raised £90,000 (2020: 88,000) which was another great year for fundraising.
The Crisis at Christmas event continues to be the main initiative of the year and is the cornerstone of our volunteering and fund-raising efforts. It’s a significant logistical programme that has grown in size and complexity and which is totally dependent on a stable technology platform to successfully run the event. The cost to the foundation to deliver these services was £34,414 a decrease from last year’s cost of £39,889. Total profit for the year was £40,585 versus £17,983 the previous year.
Chris Riley, one of our senior project managers continues to do an amazing job leading the annual Crisis effort. Each year we focus on adding innovative technology to the Crisis solution and continue to streamline the activities and work required for a successful project.
Whilst the pandemic has presented many challenges in our community work it also presented some opportunities for us to continue to evolve our “Aimar in a box” capabilities for charities.
Alongside millions of workers and organisations we fully embraced the public cloud by engineering solutions so apps and data are delivered from the cloud to provide resilience, agility and cost effectiveness by leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft Azure. We also leveraged Microsoft Teams as a collaboration platform for the Aimar core team and used our experience and connections within Microsoft to digitally transform processes and services for charities.
Simon Clark our CEO continues to do an outstandingjob developing and building relationships with key technology partners and our strong volunteer network across many industry sectors. This year we have really focused on improving communication on all our activities by significantly improving our social media capabilities.
We are very confident that in the next 12 months we will continue to look for new opportunities in the charitable sector where we can continue to make a “step change” difference to help Charities though technology.
As always, we are grateful for our volunteers and strong leadership who make it all possible.

Report of the independent examiner
to the trustees of The Aimar Foundation
| report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30th September 2021, which are set out on pages 1 to 2.
In accordance with your instructions, | have reviewed these unaudited accounts in order to assist you to fulfil your statutory responsibilities, from the accounting records and information and explanations supplied to us.
Responsibilities of the trustees and examiner
As the Charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts: you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
Basis of independent examiner's report
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosure in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
-
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records
-
have not been met: or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
