Gemma And Chris McGough Charitable Foundation CIO

Report of the trustees for the year ended 30 June 2022

Gemma And Chris McGough Charitable Foundation CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only Members are the Trustees. The objectives of the charity and the powers of the Trustees are set out in the Constitution as are the regulations concerning the appointment of new Trustees.

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2022. 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).

Gemma And Chris McGough Charitable Foundation CIO was registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 12 June 2017. The CIO was funded by initial gifts from Gemma McGough and Chris McGough in 2017 and 2018. The first gift was received (and the first financial transaction was) on 7th September 2017.The gifts were unrestricted, but with the general intent of the charity investing the monies as per its investment policy and making grants annually from its funds to meet the charity’s objects.

The CIO does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue charitable work through careful stewardship of its existing resources.

The charity is governed by trustees. The Constitution provides for a minimum of three trustees and a maximum of twelve trustees. New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees and serve for a three-year term after which they may put themselves forward for re-appointment.

Trustees meet 2 or 3 times per year to discuss the strategy and areas of activity for the foundation including grant making, investment and administration. Day to day processing and shortlisting of grant requests is currently handled by Gemma McGough with subsequent broader review and award of grants being decided via majority vote. Majority of grants are awarded to charities with whom the Foundation are already acquainted.

All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee renumeration was paid in the year. Trustees also cover IT and sundry costs such as printing, postage etc directly.

Report of the trustees for the year ended 30 June 2022

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are for the public benefit.

The Objects of the Gemma and Chris McGough Charitable Foundation is to further general charitable purposes, in particular, those benefitting children, families and the environment globally. Our specific objectives are:

The prevention or relief of child poverty

The advancement of education The advancement of environmental protection or improvement The care, upbringing or establishment in life of children or young people To assist the victims of natural disasters or war

The promotion of human rights

The CIO fulfils its strategic aims by awarding grants to charities meeting these objectives selected by the trustees and in accordance with our grant making policy on a periodic basis.

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Grant Making Policy

The CIO has established a grant making policy to guide trustees in achieving its objects of benefitting children/young people, families and the environment globally.

Trustees have the power to spend or retain both capital and income.

Subject to the discretion of its Trustees, the Foundation will distribute grants of around £100,000 per annum to further charitable purposes.

Typically an average of 30% of our annual grants will go to charities benefitting children, young people or their families, 65% to charities concerned with environmental protection or improvement and 5% to disaster relief charities.

The priorities for funding will be reviewed every year and may be changed in accordance with the Trustees’ view of the most effective application of available funds at any point in time.

Requests for funding may be made in writing via email and are considered on their own merit, however the majority of allocation is currently assigned to charities with whom the Foundation are already actively engaged.

Report of the trustees for the year ended 30 June 2022

Achievement and performance

The CIO has awarded grants totalling £159,437 to two charities. Full details are in note 4.1 of the accounts.

The trustees are satisfied that the award of these grants was in the public benefit and in accordance with the Charity Commission public benefit guidance.

All of the charities awarded grants have since provided regular updates on their work and trustees are satisfied that funds are being used to good effect. Due to the comparatively small size of the grants awarded this year and the unrestricted nature of the grants, monitoring of specific expenditure of grants awarded is considered unnecessary.

Financial position

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Reserves policy

The Gemma and Chris McGough Charitable Foundation CIO has unrestricted funds. It has an income of £3,247 and total assets of £700,487.

Trustees' responsibilities

1 Basis of preparing the financial statements

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:

• the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)',

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

2 Accounting Policies

Income from interest, royalties and dividends

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Investment gains and losses

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
