GALLAGHER RE FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charitable incorporated organisation for the year ended 31st March 2025. 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 Section 1a of the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims for the public benefit
The objects of the CIO are for such charitable purposes or for the benefit of such charitable institutions or charitable foundations and in such proportions as shall from time to time be determined by the trustees.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities for the public benefit and plans for the future
In the year to 31 March 2025 the charity recorded donation income of £26,250 and charitable expenditure of £11,750. Of the total expenditure in the year, £4,250 was distributed as grants and donations to other charitable organisations.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial review
The result for the year to 31 March 2025 is a surplus of £14,500. The charity’s net assets at 31 March 2025 stood at £30,022.
Reserves policy
With minimal administration costs, the charity has little need to carry reserves of any significance. However, whilst the trustees will donate the vast majority of funds to other operational charities, the timing of grants made will inevitably result in variations in the amounts held year on year.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Gallagher Re Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation is a registered charity controlled by its governing document. The governing document is the Constitution of Gallagher Re Foundation adopted on 30 May 2016 which became recognised by the Charity Commission when the Charitable Incorporated Organisation was registered on 2 June 2016.
The governing document defines the ongoing arrangements for trustees to run Gallagher Re Foundation. Up to 12 trustees are allowed to be appointed, and there must be a minimum of 2 charity trustees. Should the number of trustees fall below this minimum, the remaining trustee may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or to appoint a new charity trustee.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
In selecting persons to be appointed, the trustees consider the skills, experience and commitment of potential trustees and the contributions they can make to complement the existing board of trustees.
Apart from the first trustees of the charity, each new trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of
GALLAGHER RE FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts for the period ended 31st March 2025 set out on pages 4 to 9.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 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 all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have 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.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
