REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 November 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The aims of the charity are:
-
to help families of the victims of murder in the UK working with the UK tourism industry to raise awareness of the security and safety risks at holiday
-
destinations
-
working with schools to promote tolerance and diversity
Significant activities
The charity carries out fundraising events throughout the year. The charity has worked closely with Victim Support to provide assistance to the families of the victims of murder in the UK.
We are also proud to announce that our founder, Suzanne Evans was recognised with an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours list this year.
Public benefit
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity is proud to have helped bereaved families across the UK who have lost loved ones through murder.
The charity is also committed to raising awareness within the tourism industry and with the public of the security risks of destinations and how these are assessed.
Fundraising activities
After a difficult start to the year with Covid restrictions still being in place, the charity was able to resume face to face fundraising in the latter half of the year.
After several delays due to adverse weather, the final participants finally managed to complete their sky dives and our jumpers raised an amazing £45,000 between them.
Run for Joel 2022 was postponed until June 2023, moving the event to a more significant date for the charity, and the third annual charity ball in November 2022 was a great success at the new venue, Edgbaston Cricket Ground. The plans are now well under way for the 2023 ball at the same great venue.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The charity's policy for holding reserves is to hold approximately one years' expenditure as a minimum reserve forward, with this level being subject to review if the support sought and the charity's operations increase.
This level of reserves is based on anticipated funding levels for support for families and the need to fund the charity's costs.
Costs in the year were below this level due to the restrictions in place for Covid 19 but would otherwise have been just within this level.
Reserves held
Reserves held have decreased during the year by £3,233 to £133,902.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Any new trustees must be appointed by the current trustees, who must have regard to the relevant skills, knowledge and experience of the potential trustee.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SMILE FOR JOEL
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Smile for Joel
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Smile for Joel (the Trust) for the year ended 30 November 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
