TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the 6 April 2021 to 5 April 2022.
Objectives and Activities
a. POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
The principal object of the charity is for the benefit of the public to promote any purposes that are charitable according to the laws of England and Wales.
The charitable objects must apply the income, and all such parts of the capital as the Trustees think fit (whether through donations to other charities or by any other charitable means), for or towards such charitable purposes the Trustees think fit.
Public benefit
The Charity Commission in its "Charities and Public Benefit" Guidance states that there are two key principles to be met in order to show that an organisation's aims are for the public benefit: firstly, there must be an identifiable benefit and secondly, that the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public. The Trustees are satisfied that the aims and objectives of the charity, and the activities reported on below to achieve those aims, meet these principles.
b. GRANT MAKING POLICIES
The charity provided grants to other charitable institutions in order to help fund the charitable services they provide.
Achievements and performance
a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
Income for the year was £387,974 (2021: £21,354) and total expenses were £264,878 (2021: £308,111). This produced a surplus for the year of £123,096 (2021: deficit of £286,757).
During the year grants of £220,696 (2021: £278,267) were made to institutions. Unrestricted funds at the year end were £661,758 (2021: £538,662).
The main achievement during the year has been the provision of charitable donations to various local, national and international charities.
b. FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES
The charity had no fundraising activities requiring disclosure under S162A of the Charities Act 2011.
Financial review
a. 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. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
b. RESERVES POLICY
The trustees consider that the reserves of the Trust should be sufficient to guarantee the long term future of
Page 2

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
the Trust. Free reserves at 5 April 2022 amount to £642,808 (2021: £538,662). The charity has a target free reserves level of £NIL as money is transferred and distributed as and when donations are made.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
Page 3
THE NEUMARK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE NEUMARK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (the 'charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2022.
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.
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').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity 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 the Charity's accounts 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
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

THE NEUMARK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Legal status of the Charity
The Neumark Charitable Foundation is a charity constituted by a Deed of Trust in England, whose principal office is Ivyhouse, 37 Kennedy Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY3 7AA. It has no share capital. Its principal activity is to provide gifts to charitable organisations.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
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 on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.
The Neumark Charitable Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.3 Going concern
The charity has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements.
1.4 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
1.5 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.
Page 9
THE NEUMARK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.6 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. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
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 educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
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.
The names of institutions receiving grants out of trust funds administered by the reporting charity are not disclosed during the lifetime of the founder or spouse, as provided by the Charities Act 2011.
1.7 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 fair 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 shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.
1.8 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The charity has not made any accounting estimates or assumptions.
