**CHAPEL & YORK UK FOUNDATION LIMITED Company No. 10568435 (England & Wales)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2021** 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual Trustees' report together with the financial statements of the Chapel & York UK Foundation Limited for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors' report and the accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 of the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2011, and 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) and FRS 102. 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

Chapel & York UK Foundation Limited objects are to promote the advancement of education, the relief of poverty, the advancement of religion and such other purposes as are exclusively charitable under the laws of England and Wales. 

Trustees have considered the public benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011 and are satisfied that Chapel & York UK Foundation Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS 

Chapel & York UK Foundation have raised £360,043 (2020: £325,378) in donations and granted £207,230 (2020: £341,755) as at 31[st] March 2021. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

The Foundation is reliant on donations and related gift aid. Income for the period was £401,436. 

Chapel & York UK Foundation made £207,230 in grants in the year under review. 

## RESERVES POLICY 

The current policy of the trustees is to maintain only minimal reserves. This is because commitments will not be made beyond donations received and operating costs are expected to be kept at a low level which should be covered by donations. At the year end the charity had free reserves of £205,207 (2020: £11,304). 

## GOING CONCERN & COVID-19 

The trustees have prepared the Financial Statements on the basis of a going concern. Expenditure is restricted to the donations received in any one period. The trustees have considered the consequences of COVID-19 on the activities of the Foundation, and we have determined that they do not create a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2021 (continued)** 

## RISK MANAGEMENT 

The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been, or will be, established to enable the necessary steps to be taken to lessen these risks. 

The main risk to the charity is that donation income does not increase which would significantly reduce the level of charitable activity possible. 

## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

The Foundation is a UK registered charity and is constituted as a company limited by shares and therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

The charity is organised so its Directors and trustees meet at various intervals and exercise responsibility for its governance. In the intervening periods the secretary deals with the routine business. 

All trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration or expenses was paid in the year. In addition, no out of pocket expenses were reimbursed to the trustees and no trustee had any beneficial interest in any contract with the charity during the year.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2021 (continued)** 

## TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company law requires the foundation trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.  In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Chapel & York UK Foundation Ltd** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 9. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity 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 company’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** 

The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 

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 that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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 

4. 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. 

Signed:                                                                                 Dated:  16 December 2021
