## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Governing document**
Korean Education Foundation is a registered charity incorporated as a private company limited in England and Wales. It is controlled by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objective of the charitable company is ‘the advancement of Korean language education in England for the children of Korean origin or descent and to support and advance the awareness of Korean culture in England'.
In preparing these financial statements the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## Activities undertaken
The Foundation continued to hire out venue space and rent out accommodation in the year to December 2020 prior to activities being curtailed by the national lockdown. Further, donations received amount to over £15,000 from individual and organisational donors.
The Foundation continued to to give grants to institutions specialising in Korean Education and as scholarships to individuals studying the Korean language. In the year to December 2020 such grants totalling £11,181 were paid (2019:£4,087).
## Key achievements
The continued level of donations received by the Foundation from the Korean community is a positive sign that the charity has continued to perform well in 2020.
## Structure, Governance and Management
The Foundation is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee in England and Wales. The Foundation hold and regularly update an internal governance policy but is governed overall by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Any new trustee appointment must be recommended by 2 existing trustees, and the appointment must be approved by a 2/3 vote of all trustees.
## **Financial Review**
During 2020 the funds of the Foundation decreased by £1,900 as a result of normal activities. The Foundation was supported by government grants of £3,861. The Foundation had Unrestricted General Funds of £1,275,532 at the year end of which £1,225,128 is represented by tangible fixed assets. Free reserves amount to £50,404. The Trustees deem this level of reserves adequate for the day to day running of the foundation for it to meet its charitable objectives for the next 12 months.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
During 2021, the Foundation will seek to continue to fulfil its objectives in creative ways that will assist in the advancement of the Korean language and culture in England. Having made appropriate enquiries, the trustees do not believe that Covid-19 and any resultant government legislation will affect the Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern in 2021 and 2022.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£) which is also the functional currency for the charity.
## **Going Concern**
The Foundation has reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. To make this judgement, the trustees have taken into account various internal and external factors, including the potential impact of Covid-19 and resulting government regulations. It has therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
## **Incoming resources**

## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Grants given to institutions and individuals are recognised when ratified by trustess and the recipient made aware of the grant. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible Fixed Assets**
The freehold property was initially recognised at cost, but was revalued to fair value in 2018.
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated at the following rates:
|Buildings|50 years straight line|
|---|---|
|Office equipment|3 years straight line|
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax due to its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
