TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 AUGUST 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Mukul Madhav Foundation UK (the Charity) for the year ended 1 August 2024. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act, and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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).
Objectives
The Charity’s objectives are to support causes in India, UK and around the world with grants and donations which relieve and improve education and healthcare for poorer and disadvantaged families, social welfare, empowerment and the environment.
Organisation
The Trustees who served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1. The power to appoint Trustees is vested in existing Trustees. In accordance with the charity’s Constitution, all Trustees with the exception of the first Trustees must serve for a minimum of 3 years and there must always be 3 Trustees serving for the charity.
During the year the Mukul Madhav Foundation UK was managed by the Trustees who are assisted by Michael Urwick, its Director.
The Trustees continuously review their competencies and are conscious of the need to maintain a balance of skills. Periodically additional members may be invited to become Trustees and this would involve a careful vetting process by the current Trustees to ensure any new member is aware of his/her responsibilities towards the Charity.
New Trustees would be briefed on their legal obligations under charity law, the content of the governing document, the decision-making processes and the recent financial performance of the Charity.
Public Benefit
In setting objectives and planning the activity of the Charity in 2024-2025 and beyond, the Trustees continue to give careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Review of the Foundation’s activities
During the year the Trustees of the Mukul Madhav Foundation UK approved donations totalling £194,949 (2023 - £178,804). The largest donation paid was made to the University of Warwick for £49,000 (2023 - £90,000 to King's College London).
As at 1st August 2024, after allowing for all amounts owed unrestricted reserves of £25,778 (2023 – £131,449) for the year remained. The Mukul Madhav Foundation UK anticipates that sufficient funding will continue to be received to enable them to make further donations and maintain its administration.
Future Plans
The Charity will continue to provide funding to various charities and bodies in accordance with the objectives of the Charity as stated above.
Grants Policy
The Mukul Madhav Foundation UK grants donations to causes and charities in line with the objectives stated above including those advocating to improve education and healthcare for poorer and disadvantaged families, social welfare, empowerment and the environment.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 AUGUST 2024
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the Mukul Madhav Foundation UK to maintain funds, which are free reserves of the Charity, at a level which covers administrative costs and grant applications throughout the year. As at 1 August 2024 the Charity’s free reserves were in a surplus of £25,778 (2023 - £131,449). The level of free reserves are reviewed and set at the start of the financial year. Therefore whilst the free reserves may not meet the reserves policy at the balance sheet date, sufficient income will be received to cover grant expenditure and administrative costs over the next year.
Risk Management
The principal risk of the Charity is whether the Charity is able to secure sufficient donations to fund its charitable activities. This risk is mitigated by the Trustees ensuring that it only enters into commitments to provide donations when there are sufficient funds available to do so, or whether further donations can be secured to fund such commitments.
The Trustees have ensured procedures are in place to identify the business and operational risks facing the Charity and have ensured action is taken to mitigate those risks.
Connected organisations
Mrs R Chhabria is also a Trustee of Mukul Madhav Foundation India. The principle contact address of the connected organisation is as follows: Mukul Madhav Foundation India, Harmony, 5, I.C.S Colony, Off Ganeshkhind Road, Pune, 4110077
Trustees’ responsibilities statement
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 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 are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 AUGUST 2024
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Mukul Madhav Foundation UK ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 1 August 2024.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

1.2 Going concern
The accounts have been prepared under the going concern basis, which assumes that current and future sources of funding will be adequate for the charity's needs.
The charity meets its running costs from donations received. The Trustees continuously review the funding prospects and expenditure levels and take action should funding expectations and reserves appear inadequate. On the basis of this policy, the Trustees consider that the charity will continue in operational existence for the forseeable future.
1.3 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
1.4 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations received with imposed restrictions are classified as restricted funds.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings and activities of the charity.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include governance costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
