In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the Public Benefit requirement.
The charity's main objects are:
-
(1) For the benefit of the public to advance in life and help children and young people by organising or providing facilities which will enable and encourage them to participate in sporting activities, in particular but not exclusively tennis or mini tennis, with the object of improving their conditions of life and developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals; and
-
(2) The relief of sickness and the preservation and protection of good health in particular but not exclusively by:

-
(b) making grants to charities to fund research into the cause and care of severe allergic conditions (provided the useful results of such research is published);
-
(c) making grants and other financial provision for the training of nurses and other medical staff involved in the care and treatment of people with severe allergic conditions.
Sadie Bristow Foundation meets the definition of a Public Benefit entity under FRS 102.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
The Foundation engaged in two principal activities during the year in line with its above stated objectives 1 & 2:
-
The Sadie Bristow Foundation continued operations in two schools in East Kent, which included providing the “Sadie Way” fitness and tennis coaching programme. The programme continues to be tailored to match the individual schools requirements and facilities. We continue to provide fully trained instructors/coaches equipment and technical resources to both schools. We on average spent 10 man hours per week and provided lessons for all ages and abilities. The programme was provided free of charge to the schools.
-
The Sadie Bristow Foundation has worked extensively to raise awareness in the community of the issues regarding Allergies and Anaphylaxia which endangers so many lives.

SADIE BRISTOW FOUNDATION
a. Review of activities (continued)
The Sadie Bristow Foundation has set up the East Kent Allergies Group which meets at various locations around the county and invites mother and their children to attend a safe environment and discuss their issues. The Covid-19 pandemic has suspended these meetings until that situation changes.
School Tennis Programme
The charity continued with our Schools tennis programme during the year, which following the relaxation in UK Government Covid restrictions were able to return to all being delivered face to face. Our coaches continue to amend and tailor the sessions based upon feedback from the children. This year, this include hosting a mini tournamnet at Bridge Tennis Club in Canterbury for the two schools the charity currently work with, to help encourage engagement, providing physical activity and development of sporting fundamentals to primary school children.
School Holiday Activities
This year the charity continued to run several activity days for primary school aged children during the school holidays, to continue offering them opportunities for physical activity and development of sporting fundamentals, and supplment our schools athletics programme. The events included an easter activity week and a summer event incorporating taking some of the children indoor skiing at Snozone in Milton Keynes.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
At the time of signing the accounts the Trustees are aware of the potential economic and social effects of the Covid-19 virus outbreak. The full impact of the pandemic on the UK economy is yet to be seen, but the charity will continue to seek to mitigate this risk by following the UK Government’s guidelines and adapting/developing its own internal strategy.
b. Principal risks and uncertainties
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
c. Reserves policy
The trustees aim to maintain reserves at a level they deem sufficient for the future needs of the charity and are aiming to maintain reserves at a level sufficient to support 10 months of expenditure, which, based on the average annual expenditure since the charity was established would amount to £15,720. As at 31 March 2022, the free reserves amounted to £33,380 (2021: £34,521) and therefore this policy has been achieved this year.
d. Material investments policy
Investment activities are managed in line with the requirements of the Trustee Act 2000. The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity and to the reserves policy, will operate a policy of keeping available funds in interest bearing deposit accounts and seek to achieve a rate of deposit which matches or exceeds inflation as measured by the Retail Prices Index.
e. Future plans
The board of trustees’ are keen to expand upon the work of the charity, particularly in the charity’s allergy awareness and support work. Currently a limiting factor in the charity’s ability to deliver upon our objectives for raising allergy awareness and support in Kent is the charity’s reliance upon volunteers. Whilst the charity values the amazing contribution that its volunteers make, the board of trustees feel that the charity will be able to accelerate its work through the appointment of an employee. Thus, the board plan to seek appropriate funding to enable to charity to appoint a CEO, which will to help drive forward the board’s vision for the charity.
