THE O’BRIEN FAMILY FOUNDATION
THE O’BRIEN FAMILY FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees for the period ended 31[st] March 2025
The charity was entered on the register on 4[th] December 2015. During the year the donations received totalled £6250 and seven payments totalling £3500 were made to UK registered charities. The charity income and assets are likely to remain at a low level in the near future and the intention is to continue making small grants to diverse UK based charities on an annual basis. The trustees do not intend to incur any costs payable by the charity for the foreseeable future so that all income is available for charitable distribution.
The charity trustees being responsible for the preparation of the accounts consider that an audit is not required for this period under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that in addition no independent examination is required.
Custodial Trustees.
