Structure, Governance and Management
DH Foundation is a charitable organisation governed by its Trust Deed and operates in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. The charity is managed by the trustee, who is responsible for the strategic direction, governance, and financial oversight of the charity.
The trustee is responsible for ensuring that the charity operates within its charitable objectives, complies with legal and regulatory requirements, and manages the charity’s resources prudently. No material changes to the governance structure occurred during the reporting period.
Objectives and Activities
The primary objective of DH Foundation is to pursue charitable activities for the public benefit in accordance with its governing document.
The charity seeks to:
-
Address social and community needs through charitable support and activities
-
Promote relief and assistance where it is most needed
-
Ensure that resources are applied efficiently and effectively to achieve meaningful charitable outcomes
The trustee reviews the charity’s objectives annually to ensure they remain relevant and aligned with public benefit requirements.
Public Benefit
The trustee confirms that, in planning and carrying out the charity’s activities during the year, due regard was given to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The activities undertaken during the year were directed toward achieving positive outcomes for ~~beneficiaries and the wider community.~~
Strategies for Achieving Objectives
DH Foundation’s strategy focuses on:
-
Securing voluntary income through donations
-
Careful allocation of funds toward charitable activities
-
Maintaining appropriate cost control and governance standards
-
Ensuring sustainability through prudent financial management
The trustee monitors performance against objectives through regular reviews of financial results and activity outcomes.
Achievements and Performance
During the year ended 5 April 2025, DH Foundation continued to deliver its charitable activities despite a challenging funding environment.
Total income for the year amounted to £40,815 , all derived from donations and legacies. This represented a significant decrease compared with the prior year, reflecting reduced donation levels.
Total expenditure for the year was £60,163 , comprising:
-
£841 on fundraising activities
-
£53,878 on charitable activities, including governance costs
-
£5,444 on other support and administrative costs
As a result, the charity recorded a net expenditure of £19,348 for the year.
Despite the reduction in income, the trustee ensured that charitable activities continued and that expenditure was managed responsibly to support the charity’s objectives.
Financial Review
Financial Position
At 5 April 2025, the charity’s total funds amounted to £12,393 (2024: £31,741). All funds were unrestricted and available for use at the discretion of the trustee in furtherance of the charity’s objects.
The charity held cash and cash equivalents of £8,865 at the year end (2024: £35,414). Net current assets amounted to £12,393 .
Reserves Policy
The trustee considers the level of reserves annually, taking into account ongoing commitments, anticipated expenditure, and future income prospects. Given the reduction in income during the year, reserves decreased accordingly.
The trustee believes that the level of reserves held at year end remains sufficient to meet short-term obligations while the charity continues to pursue its fundraising and charitable activities.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The trustee has identified the following principal risks:
-
Income volatility , due to reliance on voluntary donations
-
Cash flow pressures , arising from reduced income levels
-
Operational risk , including compliance and governance responsibilities
These risks are mitigated through:
-
Ongoing monitoring of income and expenditure
-
Maintaining prudent cash management
• Ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements
Plans for Future Periods
In the coming year, the trustee intends to:
-
Explore opportunities to increase donation income
-
Maintain tight control over expenditure
-
Continue delivering charitable activities aligned with the charity’s objectives
-
Strengthen financial resilience and sustainability

-
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
DH Foundation Notes to the Accounts
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
