THE TUDWICK FOUNDATION
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The year 2022/3 has been a good one. With the invaluable diligence of Sue Hawes, our secretary, the trustees have met regularly to investigate the needs of the many applicants seeking financial assistance in their quest to help others.
The figures are not strictly comparable since the last accounting period covered only 9 months of the year, whereas these accounts cover a full 12 months. The list of those benefitting from our foundation is as long as it is diverse, covering so many topics of community help and assistance. It is with a measure of pride that we can see grants made of £138,612. This exceeds our investment income of £112,440 but the shortfall is more than adequately covered by donations. We are robustly placed to continue to support those that need it in the Essex and Suffolk areas.
The capital value of our investments is a little lower reflecting market conditions, especially in the property sector which remains profoundly out of favour. It is the generation of income which is the mainstay of what we do, however, and it is good to see that this measure continues to grow.
Inflation and in particular higher food and energy costs are impacting almost everybody and increasing the financial need for many trying to impact the lives of those in the community most affected. We will continue to do our utmost to help in meeting these challenging times.
My thanks, as usual to my co-trustees.
....................................... Colin Bennett - Chairman

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TUDWICK FOUNDATION
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Tudwick Foundation
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Tudwick Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
