The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TEWKESBURY ABBEY FOUNDATION ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

I report on the unaudited financial statements of The Tewkesbury Abbey Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out below. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner** 

The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”).  The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements (under section 145 of the 2011 Act); 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Independent examiners’ statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect: 

- The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with such records; or 

- the financial statements did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

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 financial statements to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ended 31 December 2024 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention (as modified by the revaluation of investments) adopting the following principal accounting policies, all of which are in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **Going Concern** 

The Trustees have reviewed the financial statements as well as the charity’s budgets, plans for 2025 and beyond and its reserves position up to the date of signing off these financial statements. 

The Trustees are fully confident that the charity should be considered as a going concern. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Donations, gifts and legacies represent amounts received during the year, together with any associated tax refund.  Gifts in kind for use by the Charity are recognised as incoming resources when receivable at a reasonable estimate of their value.  Assets given for distribution are only recognised when distributed. 

Grants receivable for specific purposes are credited to the statement of financial activities in the year to which they relate as soon as conditions for receipt have been met.  Unspent balances are carried forward to subsequent years within restricted funds. 

Grants for immediate financial support, or received against costs previously incurred are recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities.  Voluntary income is shown gross before deduction of fund-raising expenditure. 

## **Grants Payable** 

Grant expenditure is recognised only when the grants become payable. 

## **Resources Expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for under the accruals concept.  The irrecoverable element of Value Added Tax is included within the item of expense to which it relates. 

The only resources expended by the Charity are grants and governance costs and there is therefore no requirement for any apportionment of resources expended. 

## **Funds** 

General unrestricted funds comprise accumulated surpluses and deficits on general activities. They are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the Charity’s objectives. 

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions imposed by the donor(s).
