Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the Trustees consider
to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The charitable trust's primary activity is that of fundraising in order to award grants. The Trust can only
award grants where funds are available, however the Trust will have sufficient funds, to meet its
liabilities as they fall due over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial
statements.
The Trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial
statements
Grant making policy
Grants are payable through the Delta Academies Charitsble Trust Foundation Fund. The Foundation
Fund is a fund which is open to all pupils and students within the schools and academies of Delta
Academies Trust {Delta}.
The fund is designed to assist pupils or students in three main areas. These are the pursuit of
excellence, International Relations and Enterprise. Each application must fall into one of these
categories. Details of the categories are detailed below.

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Pursuit of Excellence
The fund supports the pursuit of excellence and encourages the development of talent in young people
whatever that might be. In the past, grants have been awarded to pupils or students who are excelling
in their chosen sport, but the Foundation Fund does not only cover sporting achievement. Applications
are invited from young people aged between 5 and 19, who attend one ofthe Delta family of academies.
Intemational Relations." The Foundation Fund would consider applications from students or groups of
students who would like to develop international links. In the past the Foundation Fund has contributed
to exchange visits where it believes the visit will enhance student development and experiences. The
Delta Academies Charitable Trust continues to develop its international links, and work is now
commencing on links to every continent of the world.
Enterprise." With a wish to support the local economy and local people, the Foundation Fund would
also consider applications from students who once attended one of the Delta Academies Charitable
Trust schools and academies, who would like to either start up a new business, or need funding to
develop an innovative business idea. Applications are welcomed from local entrepreneurs up to the
age of25.
The money available in the Foundation Fund, are monies raised by staff and parents within the member
schools and academies at various Trust wide events.
students and pupils must formally apply for funding from Delta Academies Charitable Trust Foundation
Fund. Each application will be assessed on its merits by the board and supported where the applications
objectives match the grant criteria specified above.
The board continually reviews the performance and outcomes of supported projects to ensure that the
projected benefits are achieved.
Due to the number of applications and the limited amount of funding available, any applicant who has
received a grant or donation within the last Iwo years will be declined.
Public benefit
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on
public benefit when reviewing the Association's aims, objectives and activities and this report seeks to
comply with that guidance by clearly explaining and illustrating how the charity delivers public benefit.
Reserves policy
The trustees review the reserve levels of the charity annually. This review encompasses the nature of
income and expenditure streams, the need to match income with commitments and the nature of
reserves.
The trustees have determined that all monies will be utilised for the purposes of the charitable objects
in support of the applications made to the charitable trust.
