REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Trust is a general purpose charity and the intention of the Trustees is to develop main areas of benefit over the course of time. The Trustees meet annually to agree the grants payable in the year and research the appropriate charities as required before making any payment.

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Grants paid during the year have been made to other charities to provide funds for their ongoing expenses and assist them in meeting their own charitable objectives. Further donations were received by the Trust during the year and grants of £582,500 were paid mainly to other charitable institutions, as disclosed in note 6 to the accounts. A transfer of £545,522 was made from the Endowment Fund to the Income Fund. The Trustees have a policy of releasing funds from the Endowment Fund, as required, to meet the operating needs of the Trust.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The attached accounts show the current state of the Trust's finances to be sound.

The Trust was established by an initial grant from Mr Massey and has continued to be supported with further funding from him. It is envisaged that he will make further contributions in the future.

Investment policy and objectives

The investment policy has been to to invest in a diversified portfolio of global securities. The investment returns for the period have been satisfactory. The Trustees continue to keep the values of investments under regular review, particularly given the current global circumstances. For further details regarding the valuation of the investments please see note 10 to the accounts.

Reserves policy

In view of the fact that the Trustees are able to apply capital of the Fund as well as income, the Trustees consider they have sufficient resources to respond to applications for grants and ensure that there are adequate funds available to cover support and governance costs. The Income Fund reserve at 5 April 2023 was £Nil and the Endowment Fund reserve was £750,659..

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The Dullatur Foundation was established by a Trust Deed dated 16 March 2007.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The power of appointing new or additional Trustees is vested in the Trustees. The Trustees keep the skill requirements of Trustees under review and any new Trustee is provided with guidance on the requirements of Trustees' roles from the Charity Commission website.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational structure

The Trustees meet at least once a year to discuss and consider the potential areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration of grants and the processing are delegated to the trustee, David Othick. The Trustees decide on the grants to be paid after careful review of the applications received. This strategy will continue to be implemented for as long as the number of applications remains relatively small.

The Trustees have wider powers of investment vested in them by the Trust Deed.

Risk management

The Trustees have reviewed the areas where potential and major risks may arise to the Foundation in accordance with the statement of recommended practice and have established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The principal risk faced by the Foundation lies in the performance of investments and the variability of investment returns. This is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE DULLATUR FOUNDATION

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Dullatur Foundation

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Dullatur Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2023.

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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023

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 charity is registered in the United Kingdom and the principal address is The Old Coach House, Bergh Apton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15 1DD.

The presentation currency is GBP sterling.

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 are allocated to the particular Fund where the costs relate directly to that Fund. The cost of general direction and administration is borne by the Income Fund.

TAXATION

The Trust is a registered charity and accordingly is exempt from taxation on its income and gains where they are applied for charitable purposes.

FUND ACCOUNTING

The Trust maintains two funds, as follows:

Endowment Fund

The expendable Endowment Fund represents donations received which form part of the capital fund of the Trust. The Fund is expendable endowment insofar as the Trustees have discretion to expend the Fund in the furtherance of the objects of the Trust.

Income Fund

The Income Fund represents the income arising on the Endowment Fund and is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the trust. The Fund is a general unrestricted fund.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investments

Investments are included in the balance sheet at market value. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event, that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Grants payable

Grants payable are included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which the conditions attached to the award have been met. Any grants where conditions have been met but the grant has not yet been paid are accounted for as creditors on the Balance Sheet. Where grants have been approved in principle but conditions attached to the award have not yet been met, these are included in the notes to the accounts as a commitment.
