The Trust Foundation Trustees’ report For the year ended 31 December 2022
What we do, how we do it and how we will strengthen it
TTF’s activities are primarily that of a grant making charity that awards grants to fulfil its objectives.
TTF’s grants
TTF does not undertake direct project implementation. TTF makes grants in the form of donations primarily to other charities who carry out projects which meet TTF objectives and grant making policy.
Selection of partners and projects
TTF’s Trustees review incoming requests on a case-by-case basis, using their knowledge of the requesting organisations and TTF’s objectives and values as the bases for assessment. A detailed due diligence process follows before the selection of any partner.
Monitoring and evaluation
TTF provides grants on the condition that progress and end-of-project reports are submitted on a (generally pre-set) timely basis. In addition, TTF’s Trustees and volunteers seek further verification and conduct field visits to verify that the utilisation of funds and the impact of programmes has worked well.
The following table includes TTF’s main areas of donation during the course of 2022:
| Education and sponsorship Welfare including the provision of food, water, clothing and healthcare Other activities |
Grants to institutions £ 155,700 3,449,900 100,757 3,706,357 |
Total 2022 £ 155,700 3,499,900 103,757 |
|---|---|---|
| 3,706,357 |
Long term perspective
The Trustees are committed to establishing new partnerships and expanding its programmes in the current countries of operation as well as new countries. The Trustees are looking to diversify programmes to include water projects as well as support for orphans.
Loans for educational and multifaith establishments
The Trustees of TTF recognise that there is a need for religious institutions and therefore provides financial assistance for establishing places of worship.
In the UK and abroad, the support is usually in the form of a grant or loan. At the start of 2022, a total sum of £449,000 (2021: £260,317) was outstanding from 3 different organisations in the United Kingdom. During the year, £181,000 (2021: £160,317) has been re-paid and new loans of £825,000 (2021: £349,000) were issued.

The Trust Foundation Trustees’ report
For the year ended 31 December 2022
Risks, uncertainties and risk management and mitigation
The TTF trustees periodically assess the organisation’s risks. In the previous year, it was identified that TTF has a large amount of unspent donations. This report confirms that the risk management plan was successful, resulting in the substantial reduction in the amount of unspent donations. Looking ahead, the trustees have identified the following risks that will require ongoing attention:
| risks that will require ongoing attention: | |
|---|---|
| Risk | Risk management and mitigation plan |
| Limited number of partners. | a) establish partnerships with new charities and expand to different countries b) undertake visits to different countries and establish new partnerships |
Financial review
For the year ended 31 December 2022, there was a deficit of £781,770 (2021 surplus of: £1,460,468). As at 31 December 2022, total income was £3,039,752 (2021: £2,680,515) and the balance carried forward, all of which are unrestricted funds as at 31 December 2022, was £5,318,244 (2021: £6,100,014).
The principal funding sources were donations from various companies, and it is intended that for the foreseeable future, subject to receipt of funds, TTF will continue its charitable activities along the lines of its current activities as detailed in this report.
There were no fundraising activities in the year.
Reserves policies
It is the policy of the charity to maximise unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, to ensure sufficient funds are available to cover the following:
-
donations payable and approved; and
-
annual administrative costs.
The board of trustees are satisfied that the charity's assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of the total funds. In 2022 total funds carried forward at the year-end were £5,318,244 (2021: £6,100,014).
Appointment of trustees
During the year, one Trustee has been appointed in accordance with the Governing Document. The trustee has been appointed based on long-standing knowledge, experience and integrity. A new trustee is appointed by a resolution of the trustees passed at a special meeting, which can be called at any time by any trustee.
Going concern
After making enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in note 1 “Accounting Policies” in the financial statements.

Trustees’ responsibilities statement For the year ended 31 December 2022
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), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
The 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 state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 2008 and the provisions of 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of The Trust Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Trust Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102; The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report, set out on pages 1 to 4 other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

The Trust Foundation
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 5, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, and through discussions with the directors (as required by auditing standards) and discussed with the directors the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation and taxation legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Secondly, the company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation or the loss of the company's license to operate. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: laws related to the regulation and operation of charities.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures we did not become aware of any actual or suspected non-compliance.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 919FF143-8728-49A4-9BF5-5A307DA29B40
The Trust Foundation
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined below to detect material misstatement due to fraud:
·Matters are discussed amongst the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud
·Identifying and assessing the design and effectiveness of controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud
·Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud following discussions with management and enquiring as to whether management have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Accounting policies
Charitable status
The Trust Foundation is a public benefit incorporated entity which currently has three trustees. The charity is a registered charity, its registered office noted on page 2.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015)” 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 2015; and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Preparation of financial statements - going concern basis
The charity’s activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Trustees’ Report, which also describes the financial position of the charity including its cash and reserves policy. The charity forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in donations and investment income and other uncertainties, show that the charity should be able to operate with its current level of reserves. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Income
Income comprises donations and investment income and is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
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 on charitable activities relates to donations made to individuals, organisations and institutions in line with the objectives of the charity.
Support costs relate to the charity’s charitable activity of providing donations and loans to individuals, organisations and institutions.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees.
Fund accounting
All funds are unrestricted.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts with insignificant risk of change in value.
Taxation
The charity is regarded as a charity by HMRC and its income is not subject to taxation on its charitable activities.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Charitable loans
Charitable loans are made to organisations with aims in line with the charity’s objectives. The loans, which are interest free, are for capital projects and repayment is expected from income generated by these projects in the future. Provision is made against charitable loans for amounts that have not been received between the balance sheet date and the date that the accounts are signed. All balances included in debtors are therefore measured at their settlement value.
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies which are described in note 1, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant; actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above.
3. Income
The charity received donations of £3,039,752 (2021: £2,680,515).
