The committee of management also decided to withdraw the offer of interest-free loans, due to the additional administrative burden on the British Council’s payroll team. One-of grants These are grants usually to a maximum of £2,500, but occasionally up to £3,500 or more if it is deemed appropriate and agreed by a majority of the Trustees. All applications received must be confirmed as true and valid by the Country Director for overseas staff (current and retired); by Head of Department for UK staff and by HR/last line manager/BCA (British Council Association) for UK retired staff. Two Trustees must approve applications up to £2,500; applications up to £3,500 must be approved by at least three Trustees and five Trustees for anything over £3,500. Applications can be made at any time throughout the year to ensure the response can be timely and appropriate. The impact of the grant can be very real and positive, e.g. access to medical care for staff members, elderly parents, spouses or young children, the repair of a house due to natural disasters, support for bereavement costs otherwise unaffordable or support to help with initial rent deposit to provide secure housing are just some of the types of cases dealt with on an annual basis. 41 one-off grants were made, with a total value of £45,173. Christmas grants These are much smaller in value (ranging from £50 to £100 each) and follow a different process. During November, line managers are invited to nominate members of their teams who are facing hardship, by submitting an application on their behalf.  The committee of management reviews all applications and approves or declines during a minuted group discussion.  Decisions are relayed to the line manager, who then confirms the decision to the individuals. It is made clear at the time of promotion that these grants must not be used by line managers as a reward for performance or substitution for compensation. 33 Christmas grants were awarded, with a total value of £3,800.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2021. 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

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

**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did 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.
