TMWF Charity annual review 2021

Another year of Covid, its ongoing impact, restrictions and continued unknowns.

We started the year with no doubt that the walk would go ahead, in the end we got there, just! As the year draws to a finish, and as I am sitting writing this, we are awaiting possible further restrictions with the new Omicron variant the latest concern.

2021 was the 13th year since my dad’s death; as result we now approach the 15th year milestone. Even in spite of the ongoing difficulties it is fantastic that I am able to report that the charity continues to grow. In fact, perhaps what the charity stands for and provides have grown in their importance.

As I look back there are a few additional ideas I would like to include:

• Courtney has stood down as a Trustee to focus on his Personal Training business. We thank Courtnery for his commitment to helping get the charity to where it is today.

• We have continued the Non-Dorset Walk as an additional event running alongside the Dorset Walk.

• Our digital footprint has improved significantly through Amy Dickman’s expertise.

• We strengthened our partnership with Edgar’s Gift and increased our annual donation to £5,000.

• Our second marquee was purchased following a year of ‘bubbles’ and the 2021 deluge in Dorset.

• Opportunities for all was introduced as a concept. On the back of lockdown we increased our efforts to support families that are economically disadvantaged. Amazon helped kick this off with a £5,000 donation.

• We commission an Impact Report trying to demonstrate the power of the Dorset Walk.

Independent Examiner's Report

To the trustees of The Malcolm Whales Foundation

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 1 to 3.

Respective responsibilities of trustees 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act

• To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and,

• To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's report.

The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as 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 matter has come to my attention

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the following requirements have not been met:

2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and

3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and

4. which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
