The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2022. 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 Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission.

The Charity's object and its principal activities must be: To provide grants and donations for individuals or such charitable associations, bodies and organizations, for the purpose of advancing education, relieving poverty, sickness and the needs of the elderly and disabled, as the trustees in their absolute discretion must think fit.

Public benefit

The trustees have carefully considered the public benefit requirements and their duty to ensure that they are compliant with them. They feel that the activities as detailed below, must more than adequately, satisfy the public benefit requirement.

The trustees must continue to operate within the confines of the charity objectives namely in the respect of the providing grants and donations to individuals or such charitable organizations for the advancement of education, relief of poverty, sickness and the need of the elderly and disabled.

The charity must provide grants to a broad section of the community and grant applications must be vetted carefully. Where the grants are given, the trustees must follow it through to ensure that the grants are used for the purposes for which they are needed.

The trustees are of the opinion that the following through of these grants ensure that the aims and objects of the charity is met.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The Trustees consider the performance of the Charity during the period to be satisfactory, and note that more voluntary donations have been received during the year to support the objective of the charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The charity's reserves policy is to maintain sufficient reserves to enable the charity to continue its activities and services at a meaningful level, should there be a drop in income. As all income is derived from voluntary donations, the trustees review this position on a regular basis.

In view of this the trustees aim to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to meet three months basic operating costs.

Having regard to the above the Trustees are of the opinion that the cash reserves held as at the year end would be sufficient to meet three months basic operating costs and, they intend to increase the reserves held in the forthcoming year.

The cash reserves stood at £54,787 as at 31st December 2022 (2021: £58,463).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The trustees have prepared cash flow forecasts and profit projections which demonstrate the charity can continue as a going concern.

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net deficit for the year of £805,658 ( 2021: £71,325 surplus).The reserves fund as at 31st December 2022 was £1,035,948 ( 2021: £1,841,606).

Included in the above deficit figure is an unrealised loss of £767,246 on equity investment.

FUTURE PLANS

We are confident that our supporters will provide us with contributions at a level to support the objects of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

All Directors of the company are also Trustees of the charity. All of the Trustees named on page 1 served throughout the year. The Board has the power to appoint additional Trustees as it considers fit to do so.

Organisational structure

The Charity is organized so that the Directors and Trustees must meet regularly to manage its affairs. There are two part time administrators, who manage the day to day administration of the Charity.

Risk management

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, must provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

Income

Expenditure

Liabilities must be 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 must 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.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an 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.

Debtors

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Creditors

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
