STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Marque Foundation was incorporated on 16th August 2017 in England and Wales under Company Registration number 10917849, and was registered with the Charity Commission on 25 September 2017 under Charity Number 1174823.

The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The day-to-day affairs of the Charity are administered by the Trustees. None of the Trustees, who are also the Directors, have any beneficial interest in the Charity.

It is not currently the intention of the Trustees of the Charity to appoint new Trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the Trustees will apply suitable recruitment, induction and training procedures.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity is established to further those purposes in the United Kingdom recognised as charitable by English Law and in furtherance of the aforementioned objects.

The Charity's principal activity throughout the year was the provision and distribution of donations and grants to charities, and no change is envisaged in the immediate future.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the year, the Charity carried out philanthropic activities in support of charitable institutions and aggregate donations of £641,620 were paid in the year to 31 March 2025 (see notes 7 and 8).

The Charity was reliant on the donations of £472,200 (2024:£525,000) which were received from various charities during the year under review.

The financial results of the Charity's activities for the year ended 31 March 2025 are fully reflected in the attached Financial Statements together with the Notes thereon.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain reserves at a level to ensure funds are always available to meet their charitable objectives.

Grant making policy

Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the Charity.

Investment Powers and Policy and Objectives

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit. The Trustees regularly review the Charity's position and needs in respect of the investment policy.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trustees plan to continue to make distributions in accordance with their grant making policy and to ensure that an appropriate level of reserves is maintained, bearing in mind the global financial instability prevailing in the current economic environment.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risk Management

The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks.

Going Concern

The Trustees are aware of the challenges they face, including geopolitical tensions, economic pressures, and ongoing global disruptions.

Notwithstanding the uncertainty mentioned above, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the charity and available sources of finance. The Trustees recognise that they have the ability to to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities due to the absence of any legally binding obligations

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MARQUE FOUNDATION

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Marque Foundation ('the Charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the Charity’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

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 (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Public Benefit Entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

With the exception for those going concern issues (mentioned in the trustees' report) in respect of the global economy, the trustees' are of the opinion that there are no other material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue its operation in the foreseeable future

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. There are no designated funds as at the Balance Sheet date.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. There are no Restricted Funds as at the Balance Sheet date.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured.

Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates.

Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
