## **The Ashley Tabor-King Foundation**
## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2025**
The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8 and comply with the charity’s trust deed and applicable law.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Ashley Tabor-King Foundation is constituted under a trust deed dated 31 May 2018, created by the settlor, Ashley Tabor-King CBE.
The Trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1. The first trustees are as follows (and are appointed for the following terms):
- Ashley Tabor-King CBE (Chair) (3 years)
- Lord Allen of Kensington CBE (5 years)
- Stephen Miron (5 years)
Where there is a requirement for new Trustees, this would be identified by the remaining Trustees. There must be at least three Trustees and, apart from the first trustees, new trustees must be appointed for a term of 3 years.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that such risks are continuously monitored and that appropriate steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objects of the charity are the advancement of any charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine.
In particular:
- to advance the health and welfare of first responders who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, physical harm and/ or mental harm attributable to or associated with their employment. First responders may include (but are not limited to) paramedic staff; first responding medical staff; call centre handlers; mountain rescue; RNLI life boat rescuers; police officers; fire fighters; and the bereaved families of first responders who have died in service;
- to advance in life and help young people through providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
## **Grant making policy**
All applications received are considered by the Trustees on their own merit for suitability of funding.
## **Public benefit**
In meeting the objectives the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and judge that all donations made meet this guidance. All donations are listed in note 4 on page 9.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2025 (continued)**
## **Achievements and Performance**
The Foundation received initial funding on 31 May 2018 following which the Trustees have started to apply their funds in accordance with the objectives of the Foundation and their grant making policy. Donations totalling £1,000,000 have been made in the year (2024 - £350,000) and are detailed in note 4 of these Financial Statements.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees’ policy is to maintain their continuing level of support under the grant making policy that they have agreed. If income resources are insufficient to cover the grants then recourse is made to the other funds of the Trust. The Trustees do not consider that any minimum level of resources is required.
## **Plans for the future**
The Trustees intend to continue providing grants in a similar way to the recent past but retaining flexibility as to the timing, and scale of grant making.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the**
## **The Ashley Tabor-King Foundation**
We report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Ashley Tabor-King Foundation for the year ended 5 April 2025.
## **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’). We report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out our examination we have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
We have completed our examination. We confirm that no material matters have come to our attention in connection with the examination giving us cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.
We 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.

## **(d) Charitable activities**
Costs of charitable activities include grants made and an apportionment of overhead and support costs where applicable.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Trust. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the Trust.
## **(e) Governance costs**
Governance costs comprise costs relating to the general running of the charity as opposed to those associated with generating funds or charitable activity.
## **(f)[Taxation]**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **(g) Foreign currencies**
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
## **(h)[Going concern]**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability to continue as a going concern.
