## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES Continued**
## **TO THE MEMBERS OF**
## **AJVIR SINGH SANDHU LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION**
## The contribution of volunteers during the period
The contribution of volunteers is highly valued. They provide support in the forms of fund-raising, providing leadership training, mentoring and military talks.
## Grant making policies
The objective is to distribute 3 - 7 % of the Foundation's assets generated by additional fund raising and investment returns. All grants will be made through recognised established youth organisations, including schools and universities.
## **Achievement and performance**
The Foundation has continued its work with the local school moving into its third year of mentoring at Riverside with comphrensive delivery programs extended to years 12 and 13. It renewed its grant to a local Air Cadet squadron to support leadership programmes. In addition it has funded training and development for elite performance athletes specifically for a canoeist. The Foundation has continued its second year of sponsoring for entrepreneurship scholarship at WBS. ASSLF sponsored an individual to attend Global Youth Model United Nations Forum, an event that has to date been delayed by the global pandemic.
Fund-raising during the year included group and individual half marathon challenges, regular donations, one off contributions to support the charity and investment income from the endowment. To offset shortfall from fundraising all endowments were switched from growth to income.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Foundation maintained £500,000 under active management at all times. If at any time the assets slip below £400,000 the trustees should look for additional donations from family assets and other fundraising activities.
## **Financial review**
This is the third year of operation. The Foundation made total grants of £22,584. It raised £14,019 from events and received donations totalling £19,231 and investment income of £10,025. The Foundation has invested a further £40,000 and had a temporary overdraft at the end of the year of £3,405.
## All funds are unrestricted.
Fund-raising activities have been very successul and raised sufficient funds to cover the costs of the Foundation.
Overviews of ASSLF finances, including detailed management reports, were provided to the directors and trustees throughout the year to give them better insight and understanding of the finances of the charity, which enabled them to make relevant decisions and to monitor the financial position of the charity.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES Continued**
## **TO THE MEMBERS OF**
## **AJVIR SINGH SANDHU LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION**
## **Investment Policy and Investment Objectives**
The trustees require the fund managers to operate a diversified portfolio with a range of asset classes and a bias towards growth assets. The investments should be controlled through effective portfolio structure and diversification and target returns close to those available from UK and international equity markets but with lower level of risk.
## **Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The trustees are required by charity legislation to prepare a financial statement for each year which gives a true and fair view of the financial activities of the charity and its financial position for that period. In doing so the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently through the year;
- Make sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with applicable accounting standards and statement of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
## **Approval**
This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 10th January 2021
