THE YIANIS CHRISTODOULOU FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The aim of the charity is the prevention or relief of poverty, financial hardship or poor health through the provisions of grants, assets and services to individuals throughout the world, in particular (but not exclusively) to children and to the elderly and also to charities or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty, financial hardship or poor health of individuals worldwide.
The prevention or relief of poverty, financial hardship or poor health throughout the world by providing or assisting with the welfare needs of individuals including the provision of education, training, healthcare projects and all the necessary support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and be self sufficient.
Significant activities
The Yianis Christodoulou Foundation raises funds through volunteer donations and provides support in accordance with its objectives and aims for prevention or relief of poverty, financial hardship or poor health of individuals worldwide.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Fundraising activities
The charity raised £54,541 (2023: £15,934) in the year and continued to use funds in accordance within the charities objectives and aims.
During the year, funds were spent on prizes awarded to various schools following the Love Cyprus event held in April 2023. The awards were used to improve schools premises. Also the balance of works at two special needs schools was completed and paid for in relation to the Gala held in 2022.
Money was raised during the year from unrestricted donations received.
In terms of positive and negative factors both within and not within the charities control the charity feels that many of these factors do not impact the charities future plans.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
At the year end the charity had net assets of £374,542.
Reserves policy
The charity's funds are managed to ensure the certainty of running expenses being available at any point in time. The Trustees believe that a specific reserve is not required as the charity does not incur any operational costs.This is due to the fact that only when funds are generated/received are they then used for the benefit of projects and in the furtherance of the charities aims and objectives.
Going concern
The charity has robust reserves in place to cover full running costs for the foreseeable future and when able, will continue its projects in line with the aims and objectives of the charity.
FUTURE PLANS
To build on the momentum in the charity and continue raising funds to achieve its objectives and aims.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The charity has a history of long serving trustees with no current plans for further appointments of changes. The charity does not have any employees and there is therefore no current process for recruitment.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE YIANIS CHRISTODOULOU FOUNDATION
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Yianis Christodoulou Foundation ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Resources expended
Cash at bank in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt.
Going Concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.
After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity, therefore continues to adopt the going concern policy in preparing its financial statements.
