To further such charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine, in particular but not exclusively, the relief of poverty and sickness worldwide and the promotion of urban and rural regeneration through the provision of grants to other organisations and the advancement of education of the public in the subject of business finance by providing training and business advice.

The aim is to involve Menzies and its staff in helping the local communities in which it operates and in so doing develop the skills and involvement of the staff as well as benefitting the wider community. 

The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on providing a public benefit and consider that the activities undertaken fulfil the charitable purposes of the Foundation.

## **Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts** 

## **For the Period 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025** 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustee and Examiner** 

The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("The Act"). 

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- w    Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- w to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and 

w    to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts (set out on page 5) presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect: 

w    accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; 

w the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in 28-Jan-2026 .......................................................................
