Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Structure, governance, and management continued
Grant making policy
This charity primarily promotes its objects through grant funding organisations (UK and International) whose operations involve golf and are aligned with the charity’s purposes. Decisions to grant fund organisations are made by the Trustees.
The Trustees have appointed a Chief Executive to manage the business and operation of the Charity.
Achievement and Performance
The Charity has been dormant since set up to 31 December 2020 with set up costs and small administrative expenses of £14707 incurred. There has been no income and set up/administrative costs have been funded by supporters of the Charity who will be repaid once funds are generated.
The small number of Golf related (and other) events to raise funds were abortive in 2020, due to Covid 19 but with no loss to the Charity.
The Trustees have due regard for their responsibilities to the Charity Commission to deliver public benefit within the objectives.
Going concern and plans for future periods .
The Trustees are well aware of the deficit on set-up, which in normal circumstances would have been a planned short-term issue, as anticipated activity in 2019 and 2020 to generate funds would have paid off set-up costs and the Charity would have started making grants to satisfy its objectives. Covid-19 has significantly further interrupted the process in 2020 and 2021, meaning that plans for income generation and operational activity are to be put back to 2022, as and when Covid 19 restrictions allow.
Reserves Policy
The Charity does not currently have a reserves policy as it is not fully operating, but Trustees are aware that some funds need to be retained where:
-
a) Grants have been made that require contribution in future years
-
b) Working capital is needed for future events that are planned to generate income.
