TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The Trustees present their Annual Report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. They are satisfied that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the Trust Deed and the Statement of Recommended Practice issued in March 2008.

Reference and Administrative Details

The Charity is constituted as a Deed of Trust dated 18 February 2013 and was registered with the Charity Commission on 24 January 2014. Trustees who served during the period to 31 March 2023 were Mr J Eyre and Mrs K Eyre. The principal address is: House Above Lower Road Loosley Row Buckinghamshire HP27 0NU

Structure, Governance and Management

The Trustees administer the Charity and also meet annually on a formal basis. In the interim the Trustees consider appropriate awards of grants in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. There are no employees of the Trust. The Trustees have the power to appoint additional Trustees.

Objectives, Activities and Public Benefit

The object of the Charity is the advancement of education, arts, culture and heritage in England, for the benefit of the general public and mankind. During the period since 1st April 2015 the Charity’s object has been pursued with consideration of grants to various educational and cultural causes.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives, managing the Trust's assets and considering applications for financial assistance.

Achievements and Performance

During the period from 1st April 2022 to 31 March 2023 a total of 7 grants were made amounting to £45,000.

Financial Review

One donation of £40,000 was received during the period; the Trustees are expected to continue to be the main source of income. Absolute Financial Services Ltd continue to manage investment of the charity’s reserves on its behalf. The funds are placed with Funds Network and at 31 March 2023 were valued at £220,659. The investment income in the year amounted to £2,352 and the unrealized capital loss in the year was £13,411.

Reserves Policy

Total reserves held at the year end were £241,961 (2022: £263,942) all of which are unrestricted. The unrestricted fund can be applied for the general purposes of the charity as set out in the governing document.

Going Concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Future Plans

In the year ahead the Trustees plan to continue to pursue the Charity’s object by making monetary grants to appropriate good causes.

EYRE FAMILY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Eyre Family Foundation ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

EYRE FAMILY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Eyre Family Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The financial statements are presented in sterling and have been rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's operations.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

1.5 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.
