To that end , during the year, the Trustees continued marketing and publishing the Fred Foundation to a wider public both using our website and regular blog and social media.The Covid 19 restrictions this year have severely restricted fundraising.

A number of online fundraising initiatives continued - Smile Amazon, PayPal, Easyfundraising, but our income was also from donors directly. Their continued support was much appreciated by the Trustees. Bearing in mind this was the second year of fundraising restrictions the Trustees agreed to refocus the aim to gain the most benefit from our limited resources. To this end we concentrated on funding families who were preparing for Tribunal . In general we can afford to give funds which will allow families to gather enough data to present to Tribunal as part of a case to win specialist help for their child. Therapists are now allowed to visit children in their homes so the programs are able to take place.However, we are finding more and more families are looking to companies to manage their program rather than manage therapists directly. As usual, we reply to every e mail and try and support families even if we cannot give them funds. **TAR** April 2022 5 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s** The charity has a policy to retain £5000 as reserves. **policy on reserves** **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s** **Full name(s** Felicity Ellacombe **Position (eg Secretary, Chai** Chair **etc** **TAR** 6 April 2022 2110412022 TAR April 2022 THE FRED FOUNDATION {CHARITY NO: 11221971 ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 THE FRED FOUNDATION Trustèes Mr Jonathan Vandernieer Mrs FeliGity EllaGombe Mr Gilbert Ellacombe Mr Charles Vallance Mrs Suzanne Thompson Mrs Rebecca Goldbart Mr Matthew Pope Principal addre55 20 Morella Road London SW12 8UH Charity number 1122197 Content of accounts Independent examinerfs report Receipts and payments accounts Slalement of assets and liabilittes INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRED FOUNDATION (CHARITY NO: 1122197) I report to the Iruslees on my examination of the accounts of The Fred Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2021.
