Our Objectives and Activities
Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects in our Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation are to advance education for the public benefit in the least developed countries (as defined by the DAC List of ODA countries maintained by the OECD) by building and equipping schools and using technology for educational support.
Our Achievements and Performance
Our main activity in the year ended 30 September 2020 and to the date of this report has been continuing the building of a library at Mwanyambo Primary School in Voi, Kenya. When we started this project, the “library” was a concrete slab in the middle of the school playground with steel rebars sticking out of it. It was a health and safety hazard.
2
Working together with the Rotary Club of Voi, we have appointed contractors who have now constructed the building. The next photograph shows the status of construction on the financial year-end date of 30 September 2020. As can be seen, the outer walls of the building were being completed.
Seven months later, on 20 April 2021 the exterior of the building was complete, and work had moved to the interior of the building.
3
We are now working with the Rotary Club of Voi on the final interior specifications, including all electrics and internet connectivity, and then we can focus on equipping the library. During school hours it will be available to the children of the school, and outside school hours it will be available to the local community. In addition to books and learning materials, we will be providing high-speed access to the internet.
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Financial Review
The financial statements on the following pages set out the financial results of The Tubules Foundation.
We received donations totalling £35,544 and spent £20,000 on charitable activities as shown in the previous section of this report. We also spent £432 on administrative items (accountant’s fees). At the end of the financial year we had a balance of £33,866 of unrestricted funds held in the charity’s bank account with Metro Bank.
Included in donations received is a pledge from Dentinal Tubules Limited in the amount of £21,701 which has been received in cash after the balance sheet date. This is reflected as a debtor in the balance sheet. These are also unrestricted funds.
Subsequent to the end of the financial year and up to the date of this report, the Trustees have made further donations totalling £38,007 to enable the completion of the library as shown above.
As a small charity the primary risk is that we do not raise sufficient funds to complete our charitable activities. To date the activities of the trustees has ensured that this has not
4
happened, and additional funds have both been raised and expended in continuing our charitable activities.
Reserves Policy
The charity raised the needed finance and met its income and expenditure liabilities with a surplus at the year-end on 30 September 2020.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of the charity
Report by the Independent Examiner to the trustees on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2020. I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2020.
Responsibilities of trustees
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your 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
The company’s gross income exceeded £25,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:
-
accounting records were kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts accord with such records; or
-
the accounts comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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
-
the accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.

The Tubules Foundation
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements for the Year ended 30 September 2020
1. Accounting Policies
The principle accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
- (a) Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Charities SORP (FRS 102) (second edition – October 2019).
(b) Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
(c) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to, and virtually certain to receive, the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
(d) Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
(e) Going concern
The balance sheet is showing a net funds figure of £55,567 (2019 - £40,455). The trustees have prepared the accounts on the going concern basis as the charity continues to raise funds to support its activities and has no contractual commitments to expenditure. Taking into account these factors, the trustees are of the opinion that the charity will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
