REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5th April 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
To advance education primarily but not exclusively to Judaism and the Jewish faith by way of grants, bursaries and endowments. To advance education by assisting in the funding and establishment of apprenticeships to teach the skills (such as polishing and cutting gems) necessary to prepare apprentices for work in the jewellery industry.
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.
Significant activities
During the period, the Charity has continued to place its resources with stock brokers with instructions to grow the funds.
Grantmaking
The Charity will not engage in grantmaking until it has adequate resources to meet its charitable objectives.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Sherwood Foundation has concentrated upon placing its resources where they can grow to a sufficient size to facilitate the Charity's key objectives.
Investment performance
During the year, the market value of the Charity's resources have grown by 2% reflecting the improvement in stock markets as they factored in a world living with Covid-19.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity was formed as a consequence of the dissolution of the Samuel & Maria Goldstein Charitable Trust which was split by the trustees in order to pursue alternative charitable activities under separate management.
Investment policy and objectives
The Charity has adopted an investment risk category of 5. This places its resources into the following funds:
Bonds 28.5% Equities 54% Alternative Investments 15% Cash 2.5%
This is designed to maintain the real value of the funds by achieving returns above inflation.The Charity is willing to accept short term volatility to generate potentially higher long-term investment returns.
Reserves policy
The trustees have been advised by external specialists that the Charity needs to achieve a total return of capital and income in order to build a working fund of £1 million. This will enable the charity to generate surplus income that can be applied to the objectives of the Charity without serious diminution in its long term existence.
FUTURE PLANS
The need for the Charity's services is increasing and the Trustees realise that they must develop the Charity's potential to target the issues that it has set out to alleviate.
