Policy on grant making Para 1.38 1. Objects of The Charles Lewis Foundation
(“The Foundation”) The Charles Lewis
Foundation is a grant making charity
supporting general charitable purposes. It
is the policy of the Trustees to make grants
to a wide range of charitable bodies and
individuals as the Trustees in their
discretion think fit.
2. Priorities for Support

2.1 The number of projects which can be supported is, of necessity, limited to the amount of funds available for distribution in any year. The Trustees have determined that the priorities for funding over the next years will be: Young People Health Local Community The Elderly Animals 2.2 The priorities will be reviewed every year (or more often if deemed appropriate by the Trustees), and may be changed in accordance with the Trustees view of the most effective application of available funds at any point in time. 3. Principles In awarding grants, the Trustees will apply the following principles: 3.1 Applications from any geographical area within the UK (but not overseas) are eligible for consideration. 3.2 All applications from previous recipients of grants or from previously unsuccessful applicants will be considered on merit alone. 3.3 The Foundation will work in partnership with other organisations where appropriate to fund initiatives beyond the financial scope of a single organisation. 3.4 The Foundation will not normally support applications for large national charities i.e. those with an annual income in excess of £10 million or with £100+ million assets or charities dedicated to issues deemed by the Trustees to be already well funded within the UK. 3.5 The Trustees reserve the right to not approve any application if through its decision making it determines that the resulting grant would not be charitable, or would conflict with the foundations stated policies or damage its reputation. 4. Exclusions The Trustees will not normally approve the use of the charities funds for: 4.1 Purposes for which the government has a statutory responsibility to provide for. 5. Grant Application Process All applications for grants should be completed in conjunction with this policy. Applications for grants should be made in the first instance to The Charles Lewis Foundation

by email to office@tclf.org.uk. 5.1 Information Before awarding a grant to an organisation or an individual, the Trustees require that the application should: 5.1.1 Inform the Trustees of the purpose of the application, details of the project, the way in which the grant will be used and how it will be managed effectively for its intended purpose; 5.1.2 Inform the Trustees of the names of those who are to be involved with the project/work to be carried out and the identity of the person(s) who will be responsible for the administration of the grant; 5.1.3 Provide adequate information regarding the identity and financial status of the applicant and/or the status of the person(s) who will carry out the project/work; 5.1.4 Demonstrate that the recipient (whether an organisation or individual) has and will be adequately insured both in relation to any equipment and facilities purchased by the grant but also in relation to any risk of injury arising by reason of the project or purposes for which the grant is awarded including injury to those participating in the project or those purposes; 5.1.5 Sign the application form to state that the applicant (or in the case of applicants by persons under the age of eighteen years by his/her parent or legal guardian) undertakes to comply with the terms and conditions and all information provided by the applicant is correct. 6. Assessment Process 6.1 All grant applications will be subject to initial assessment to ensure they meet the basic criteria for funding. Applicants must be prepared to provide such other information as the Trustees may reasonably require in order to assist them in their decision making. Grants will be considered by the Trustees at their meetings, and the Trustees will aim to write to all applicants informing them of the outcome of their application for funding within three months of the date of the application.

6.2 Applicants should note that as with many other charitable trusts, The Charles Lewis Foundation may receive far more applicants that it has funds to support. Even if a project fits within the criteria and priorities of the charity and a detailed assessment has been made, The Charles Lewis Foundation may still be unable to provide a grant. 6.3 The Trustees will not be obliged to provide an explanation to the applicant should their application be unsuccessful. 7. Monitoring and Publication 7.1 It is the policy of the Trustees to monitor all grants made. To this end, before a grant can be confirmed, conditions will be stipulated appropriate to the work to be carried out and progress will be assessed against agreed targets and/or milestones. If the grant is payable in instalments, then payment of subsequent grant instalments will be dependant on satisfactory progress having been demonstrated and the Trustees reserve the right to withdraw the grant on receipt of unsatisfactory progress reports. The grant recipient should inform the Foundation of any extenuating circumstances whereby the submission of any report is delayed, to allow a mutually acceptable date for submission to be agreed. Failure to submit reports at the time specified by the Trustees may also jeopardise the continuation of the Charity’s support. In addition to reports detailing progress (if applicable), grant recipients will be expected to provide: • A statement of how their Charity monies have been spent for the year 7.2 Monitoring visits by representatives of the foundation may be expected during the period of a grant.

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charles Lewis Foundation is a charity, registered in England and governed by a Trust Deed dated 13th July 2018.

In accordance with the governing document, there shall be not less than two Trustees at any time. Trustees are appointed by the Appointing Trustee, having regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Charity. There are no staff employed to keep operating costs to a minimum.

STATEMENT ON PUBLIC BENEFIT

The objectives and activities, and achievement and performance sections of this report clearly set out the activities which the charity undertakes for the public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have reviewed the major and financial risks that impact on the work of the charity. The systems that have been established enable the Trustees to review and take necessary steps to lessen these risks.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charles Lewis Foundation particularly favours smaller charities where funding is required for a specific project and where small grants can have a big impact. TCLF especially supports charities which make good use of volunteers. The trustees look to support ongoing and new projects.

Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees of the foundation do not feel the need for a reserves policy currently as the main activity is grant making and no commitments as made unless funds are available first. Funding comes annually by means of a donation from Mrs A Koppel, the sister of the late Charles Lewis. Total income and expenditure during the year were £125,300 (2022: £125,000) and £115,510 (2022: £188,154) respectively leaving a net income at the end of the year of £9,790 (2022: net expenditure £63,154)

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

c) make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

d) state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Trust's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust 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 Charles Lewis Foundation

I report on the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2023 as set out on pages 7 to 16.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity 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

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 Charles Lewis Foundation Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The charity is a Foundation registered with the Charity Commission. The registered office address is given in the charity information page.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

b) Public benefit entity

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

c) Going concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern.

Key judgements that the Trust has made which have a significant effect on the accounts include estimating accrued income for gift aid claim.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

d) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

e) Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

9

The Charles Lewis Foundation Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2023

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

g) Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising currently the cost of independent examination, is apportioned to Grant Making activity in full.

h) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

i) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users.

j) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
