Over the coming years, the Wales Family Enterprise Trust vlll continue in its commitrnent to 'Homes as a foundation for life,, Ihrough supporting practical innovation and thought leadership and research. This will replace our collective Ihemalic lille ol'Housing'. The work emerging suggests that pool housing is not a root into poverty but. in reality, acts as a ceiling preventing people escaping poverty. We will look to those most vulnerable members of society. in particular families with children living without a home and those liwng with complex needs. Collaborating wilh the Trust's two other funding programmes - Life Opportunities for Young People and Sustainability..

The day-twlay adminislralion of the Trust's grants and the processing and handling of applicalions is carried out by the Secretariat. Costs are apportioned on an agreed percentage basis between the two charities These include rent for office space located wthin premises occupied by a company owned by the Trustees. as well as charges for use of the companys IT, HR and other adminislralive systems.

The agreed basis of the cost allocation was a split of 80% to the Trust and 20% to the Foundation throughout the entire yeai_ One new role of Adminislralor was split equally between both organisations. This reflects the best wev4 of the diwsion of the time spent by the Secretariat between Ihe two organisalions.

As part of the longer-lemi plan, the Trustees set a medium-temi ambition to build over811 funding from £1.25m in 2017 iowards £2m over lime as the Wales Group glows in size and profilabilily. (The'rule of thumb. remains that the Tiust should receive up to 5% ofthe Group's pie-tax profits). The key elements of the slralegy remain to-.

R¢l#LeLI Pdi ly TidllSOLIIuiis 11 is the Trustees, policy to encourage aclive involvement in the voluntary seclor by their peers and the Wales Family generally. Where a Tfuslee has an interest in any capacity with an external body applying lor funds from the Trust. then Ihal Iruslee rs excluded from the decision-making process. This and other potential conflicts of interest are covered by a forrnally adopted policy, which extends lo members ol the Secretariat and other persons allending meetings at which granl-making decisions ale taken. Such potential conflicts will be noted in the minutes of the relevant meelings. The Trust maintains an annually updated register of the business intere5t5 of members ol the Wales Family and staff that lake an active part in the Trusl's philanthropic activities.

Evaluatlon of Governance The Trustees recognise that there is a potential for additional conflicts of interest in their re5ponsibililies as trustees of the Trust and owneis of the Wales Group of b(Jsinesses with which the Trust has a close working relationship. Diligent cafe is taken to ensure the separateness and independence of both organisations from each other. A Memorandum of Understanding was agfeed and adopted in 2021. between the Wates Family Enterprise Trust. the Wales Foundation and the Wales Group. recognising the independence of each orgonisalion and the areas where they collaborate. The Trustees regularly review a register of gifts and hospitality offered and received by Trustees and the Secretariat to ensure compliance with the Tiust's poliry in this matter.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a gLJarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI wll always detect a material misslalemenl when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, indiwdually or in the aggregate. they could ieasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions ol users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Details of the extent lo which the audit was considered capable of delecling ifregularities, including fraud and non<ompliance with laws and regulations are set out below. A further description of our responsibilities for the audil of the financial slalemenls is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at". www.fic.or -uklaudilorsres nsibilities. This description forms part ol our auditor's report. Extenl to whlch the audfjt was considered capable of detectlng IrregUlari￿e$.

momb@rs. Wè then designed and perfomiod audit proceduies responsive to those ri= including oblèining audit ewdence sufficient and appropriate to prowde a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charit8ble company operates, focusing on Ihose laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination ol material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011 together wllh Ihe Charities SORP IFR510212019. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulalions as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial slalemenls but compliance with which might be fundamental lo the charitable company's ability to operate or lo avoid a material penalty Wè also eonsidp.rpd thp opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitsble company lor fraud.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures lo Identify non-cornpliance with these aws and regulations lo enquiry ol the Trustees and other management and Inspects'on of regulatory and legal correspondence, if ony. We Identified the grealesl risk of maleiial impart on the financial slalements from irregularities. including fraud. lo be within the timing ol recognition of donation income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures lo respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Board of Trustees about their own idenlificalion and assessment ol the risks of irregularities, audit procedures on income recognition, sample testing on the posting of journals. reviewing accounting estimales for biases. reviewing regulalory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading mlnuies of meeting5 of those charged with governance. Owing to Ihe inherenl limitations ol an audit. Ihere is an unavoidable risk Ihal we may not have detected some material rnisstalemenls in the financial stalemenls. even though we have properly planned and performed our audil in accordance with auditing slandards. For example. the further removèd non•compliancg with laws and re9ulationr lirr0gularitlc￿I j• from thc cvcntJ and transaction5 rellecled in the financial 51alements. the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would idenlify il. In addition. as wlh any audit. there remained a higher risk ol non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion. forgery. inlenlional omissions, misrepreseniaiions. or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected lo detect non- rnmplianrp with all laws and règulations. Use of our report Thls report is made solely lo the charitable cofflpany'5 members. as a body. in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 01 the Companies Act 2006.
