WESTCOMBE FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2021.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Trust Deed , the Companies Act 2006 and “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
The charity 's objects are to relieve poverty, distress and suffering of people throughout the world and make donations and grants to assist such persons; to provide humanitarian and other essential aid to assist in relieving the poverty, sickness and suffering of people throughout the world, in particular medical and other similar aide to assist in relieving sickness and making grants or loans to any other institution, whether established for charitable purposes only falling within the objects of the charity.
All proposals for grants are generated internally and the T rustees regret that external applications for funding will not be considered.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
During the year the Charity has given a number of small grants for philanthropic causes and to other charities in the UK and overseas.
The Trustees have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Financial review
During the year the charity raised funds of £ 62,019 (2020: £ 125,571 ) and expended £ 70,875 ( 20 20: £74 , 04 4 ). The reserves to carry forward are £ 3 6 , 823 (2020: £45 , 679).
Reserves, Covid-19 and going concern
The Trustees have not encountered significant disruption as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak on the basis of the following:
Firstly, the charity receives nearly all of its funding from the Westcombe Partnership (owned by and run by the charity’s Trustees) and does not receive external funding from the general public. In addition to this, the charity has minimal overhead costs and is able to vary the level of expenditure incurred according to the level of income received each year.
Furthermore, the charity has no immediate plans to hold another large event, similar to the one that took place in the year to 31 July 2019, that would require a significant outlay of expenditure.
Finally, the charity’s Trustees are confident that they will be able to continue funding the charity’s on-going grant-giving activities through continued donations from the Westcombe Partnership.
As at 31 July 202 1 , the charity has unrestricted reserves of £ 3 6,823. The Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern on the basis that, as above, they will continue to provide financial support to the charity (through the Westcombe Partnership) where needed to ensure it is able to meet liabilities as they fall due.
Risk assessment
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
