|Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|1. The Charles Lewis Foundation is a<br>grant making charity supporting<br>general charitable purposes. It is the<br>policy of the Trustees to make grants<br>to a wide range of charitable bodies<br>as they, in their discretion, think fit<br>and make grants where they believe<br>that their contribution will make a<br>real difference.|





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** 3.1 **In awarding grants, the Trustees will apply the following principles:** Applications from any geographical area within the UK are eligible for consideration, regardless of nationality, culture or ethnic origin. Trustees will consider applications for grants that benefit people living outside the UK. but only if the charity that applies is registered in the UK. 3.2 All applications from previous recipients of grants or from previously unsuccessful applicants will be considered on merit alone, you can apply 12 months after receipt of a grant or an unsuccessful application. 3.3 The Foundation will not normally support applications for large national charities i.e. those with an annual income in excess of £1 million, or with over £5 million assets or charities dedicated to issues deemed by the Trustees to be already well funded within the UK. 3.4 The Trustees reserve the right to apply conditions to any grant. 3.5. The Trustees reserve the right to not approve any application if it determines that the resulting grant would not be charitable, or would conflict with the foundations stated policies or damage its reputation. 



4. **Exclusions** 4.1. The Trustees will not normally approve the use of the charities funds for purposes for which the government has a statutory responsibility to provide for. 5. **Grant Application Process** 5.1 All applications for grants should be completed in conjunction with this policy. 5.2 Applicants undertake to comply with our Terms and Conditions and by signing theses and the Grant Application form, confirm all information provided 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. 6.2. Grants will be considered by the Trustees at their meetings, and they aim to contact all applicants informing them of the outcome of their application for funding within four months of the date of the application. 6.3. Applicants should note that as with many other charitable trusts, The Charles Lewis Foundation receives far more applications than it has funds to support. Even if a project fits within the criteria and priorities and a detailed assessment has been made, The Charles Lewis Foundation may still be unable to provide a grant. 6.4 The Trustees will not be obliged to provide an explanation to the applicant should their application be unsuccessful.

## **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 2024 as set out on pages 7 to 18. 

## **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 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **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.

**The Charles Lewis Foundation Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

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: 

- Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the Foundation in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of Grant Making undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. Grants payable are recognised in the SOFA when they are approved by the Trustees and recipient has been informed. 

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. 

## **2 Income from donations and legacies**
