In awarding grants the Trustees will apply the following principles: 3 The Laura Waddington Charitable Foundation - Applications from any geographical area within the UK are eligible for consideration, but priority will be given to those which meet the current priorities set by the Trustees. - All applications from previous recipients of grants or from previously unsuccessful applicants will be considered by the Trustees on their own merits.

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 in the Charities SQRP; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 4 The Laura Waddington Charitable Foundation 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.
