TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and comply with the charity's trust deed and the Charities Act 2011.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Trustees see fit from time to time, in particular but not limited to, relief and assistance for vulnerable people living in poverty and financial hardship with limited access to education by making grants to individuals and charitable bodies.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

During this year we have donated £20,313 which have all been agreed by all trustees.

Agreed funding projects were:

The Hanley’s Parish Council – Duck Pond sponsorship

We were approached as a charity to see if we would help the community by sponsoring new duck houses as the existing were now beyond repair. We attended the parish council meeting at which we inspected the first completed house. This had been built to a very high standard and following the meeting we discussed and agreed to sponsor two of the five new houses as a total cost of £2,700. It was agreed that one of the houses would be named after the charity, Jasmine. The duck houses are now fully installed and can be viewed in the middle of the Hanley Swan community pond.

Amy/P – Sensory Garden

We were approached by the grandfather of P. to see if we could help his daughter Amy and Granddaughter P. age 9 who is severally disabled. Due to her disabilities the house has had a full and substantial upgrade to accommodate P.’s condition however the local authority run out of funding and were unable to upgrade the garden. We met with all of the family and agreed that we would fund the garden restoration to make it safe for P. and a place where she could benefit from outdoor senses and sounds. We requested two quotations one of which was more than £45,000 the other was from a local landscaping company who when understood what we were trying to achieve he agreed to work with us at cost. His costs were £13,340, additional costs were to the St Peters Garden Centre £1,746 and THF special needs equipment who supplied a Swing and seats costing £465 and SP living and home who supplied the sun screen at a cost of £190.

In addition, we also supplied a garden egg chair for P.’s sister to ensure her inclusion.

This has been a very well worth project, and we have since visited the family and it is wonderful to see how P. is benefiting from the Garden.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023

Jessica / H. nursery fees

We have been in discussion with this family for some time. In short Jessica has been really ill with major complications, this has led to the family struggling financially.

Dad has had issues with his employer as he has had to try to work childcare for H. around work and it would now appear that his employer needs more commitment. We have agreed to fund full time pre-school nursery fees until the end of the school year after which H. will then be in full time education. We have paid direct to Rivers Academy the Cost of £1,873.

P Bailey

P approached us as a charity as he had been diagnosed with Prostate cancer and as such was very poorly and had to give up work. His request was simple for someone to help him cover the cost of his incontinence pads. His financial situation was that his income and pensions covered his living expenses, but the cost of the pads were now making him overdraw each month. He was not eligible for additional benefits. We agreed to fund his ongoing needs and we fed this back to him. P contacted Stephen to confirm that he was really appreciative of our support but since our agreement his family had agreed to fund his needs going forward and thanked us for our kindness and generosity.

K.T - Viola

Once again, this year we have continued to support K and her music studies. She still has the viola in her possession and her studies are progressing well. It is expected that at the end of her college studies that she would go on to university. We will continue to support her.

Financial review

The charity has benefitted from investment income which has enabled the distribution of grants amounting to £20,313. The activities of the year have decreased the cash position from £91,667 to £69,844.

It is the policy of the charity that cash funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level to meet the minimal routine expenditure in managing the investment portfolio. The trustees considers that cash funds at this level will ensure that, they will be able to apply excess income to the charitable objects. This level of cash has been maintained throughout the year.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

It is our intention to continue to offer help direct to the person, family or group that needs the help in line with our objective we do not offer financial support to other Charities where any grant we make goes toward the running costs of their charity.

All trustees have agreed that they will remain in post and during the next year we will vote on our positions for the next four years.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is an unincorporated entity governed by a trust deed dated 20 August 2019.

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mr S L Atwell

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Jasmine Charitable Foundation ('TJCF') is an unincorporated charity registered in England & Wales, created by trust deed dated 20 August 2019. The principal office is 1 Vicarage Fields, Hanley Castle, Worcester, WR8 0BF.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document and the Charities Act 2011. The basis of preparation is on a receipts and payments basis. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when received.

Legacies are recognised on receipt.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure is accounted for as incurred.

1.6 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently adjusted for the cost of acquisition of new investments less the value of sales proceeds received on disposal.

Donated investments are carried at the perceived value at the time of the gift.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, and deposits held at call with banks.
