B. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The company was incorporated in December 2018, and received charitable status in October 2019. The Charity has focused large portions of their time on ensuring the appropriate systems, controls and safe guarding policies are in place. With these controls now in place, the trustees will focus on how best to utilise the donations received to meet the objectives of the Foundation.

The trustees have developed a strategic plan, with identified objectives, and an implementation strategy to guide the charity’s direction, and recruited a manager to assist with the delivery of the objectives.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT

The primary objectives of the Foundation are to:

• Assisting by helping vulnerable adults access financial programmes and charitable grants to fully or partially fund the cost of in-home care visits

• Signposting to local providers of support services and outreach Community Navigator services to visit vulnerable adult members of the public

• Supporting vulnerable adult members of the public to access local areas for essential living activities such as shopping and doctors’ visits

• Promote training and development programmes for professional and volunteer care workers by holding local networking events for stakeholders in the community

FUNDS STRUCTURE

The Q1 Foundation receives funds from third party donors, publicly available grants and local fundraising initiatives.

These funds allow the Foundation to carry out its charitable objectives offering support to vulnerable adults in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The funding of the charity will continue to be reviewed. Due to the impact of the pandemic, the trustees agreed to refocus efforts from face-to-face events and support for the older population, to wide-reaching community support, including the older, isolated and vulnerable which brings new funding opportunities and demands. The trustees also plan to begin taking online and text donations from the general public, and running appeals and fundraising events within the local community, as well as requesting in-kind support.

Q1 FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees (who are also trustees of Q1 Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustee’s report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied, they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and;

• notify its trustees in writing about the use of disclosure exemptions, if any, of FRS 102 used in the preparation of financial statements; and

• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Company’s Act 2006, 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. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charitable company’s and financial information included on the charity`s website.
