THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees for the Period 5 May 2020 to 31 May 2021
NT
On behalf of the Trustees, it is my pleasure to present the first annual report of The Captain Tom Foundation from incorporation to 31 May 2021.
The Foundation was established by the late Captain Sir Tom Moore and his family, shortly after he completed his record fundraising objective for the Association of NHS Charities (registered charity number 1186569 - working name 'NHS Charities Together'). The simple act of walking 100 times up and down his garden united a nation and gave us all hope, at a time when it was needed most. The £38.9m (including Gift Aid) that he raised was a philanthropic lightning strike, the likes of which have never been seen before and a feat which is unlikely to ever be repeated. The funds raised by Captain Sir Tom, via JustGiving for NHS Charities Together, have now been applied to those charities and the JustGiving account closed. NHS Charities Together was responsible for the distribution of those funds, in accordance with their own charitable purposes.
Captain Sir Tom provided inspiration to so many people: it was evident that there was a tremendous legacy in what he had achieved, with particular resonance in his message of creating a more hopeful world. The Foundation was established to promote causes that were close to Captain Sir Tom's heart - especially those addressing the issues of loneliness and mental health. Without any meaningful income at the outset, the Trustees are grateful to our very small team who worked tirelessly (and initially on a voluntary basis) alongside experienced charity sector professionals to put in place our operational structure, to develop the Trustees' strategic vision and to generate income. Our income during our first year enabled the Foundation to make donations to our supported charities - MIND, The Royal British Legion, Helen & Douglas House and Willen Hospice.
As you will all be aware, our founder and inspiration Captain Sir Tom passed away in February 2021, he himself falling victim to the COVID-19 virus. The interest that has been shown in the Foundation since his death and particularly around the time of his funeral was heart-warming for his family; it has been a source of inspiration and motivation for us to protect and enhance his legacy, using his message of hope in our efforts to improve the lives of others.
Our first major initiative was the Captain Tom 100, a national event for all charities to celebrate what would have been Captain Sir Tom's 101st birthday. Whilst funds from this event did flow into the Foundation - which will be reported on in next year's accounts - we are very proud that so many other charities chose to get involved with this initiative and raise funds for their own charitable causes across the country.
It has been a busy, exciting and at times hugely emotional time for our team, but we are now focused on our future direction and the area where we can make the most impact.
Throughout this year, we have been talking to our supporters and have developed our plan to become the leading charity in supporting, celebrating and empowering our older generation, thereby increasing opportunities for their voices to be heard and their skills and knowledge to be shared.
We want to show the power of connecting the generations; not just for the benefit of older people and their supporting communities, but for people of all age groups so that they may be seen, heard and valued by society.
As has been reported recently, in 2022 we shall launch Captain Tom Day (see later in this document for more details): a day for us to celebrate our older generation and to raise funds for supporting communities who provide assistance to them.

The most. The Foundation was set up by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore, initially to secure a lasting legacy for the substantial fundraising efforts for NHS Charities Together, which were raised via JustGiving.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT
The objects of the Foundation are for public benefit and are specifically restricted to:
-
1) the advancement of health and wellbeing, in particular but limited to the prevention and relief of sickness, disease and illness of any description whether physical or mental;
-
2) the relief of those in need by virtue of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage;
-
3) the promotion of social inclusion by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society; for the purpose of this cause, socially excluded means being excluded from society, or certain parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following factors: unemployment, financial hardship, youth or old age, ill health (physical or mental), substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs, discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment, relationship and family breakdown, poor housing (i.e. housing which does not meet basic habitable standards, crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society);

4) the advancement of any such other charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Trustees see fit from time to time, in all cases in any part of the world.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Foundation objectives, as well as in planning future activities and setting the grant-making policy for the year. In our first year of operation, the Trustees agreed to make discretionary grants to and objectives. Accordingly, discretionary grants were awarded to:
The Royal British Legion (registered charity number 219279) MIND (The National Association for Mental Health) (registered charity number 219830) Willen Hospice (registered charity number 270194)
Helen & Douglas House (registered charity number 1085957)

THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees
for the Period 5 May 2020 to 31 May 2021
In the Captain Tom 100 event, the Trustees identified three charities focusing on youth mental health and loneliness. They awarded discretionary grants to:
Young Minds Trust (registered charity number 1016968) Place2Be (registered charity number 1040756)
These grants will be reported in the financial statements to 31 May 2022.
The Royal British Legion
Donations were used to support the Battle Back Centre, a recovery centre for wounded, injured and sick personnel from across the Armed Forces community at the Lilleshall National Sports Centre. The Multi-Activity Courses (MAC) are five-day residential courses and include on and off-site sorting activities alongside social events and motivational talks designed to assist the recovery process. Within the safe and trusting environment of the Battle Back Centre, attendees are helped to readjust and build their confidence.
The national restrictions in place throughout 2020 and 2021 had a huge impact on the Battle Back Cen , consequently, on the number of personnel that they were able to support in their recovery. The donation from the Foundation enabled the centre to reinstate operations when restrictions were eased, thereby giving hope for a better future to wounded, injured and sick serving personnel and to veterans.
MIND
The funds donated to MIND were used primarily to support people with mental health problems uncertainty during this period; Whole School Approach programme, in which traditional face-to-face programmes were adapted so that pupils could access the work-streams, newsletters and training from home.
Our donation also supported the side-by-side programme tackling loneliness through online peer support. During the pandemic, the programme welcomed 2,500 new members every month, with many members considering side-by-side as their second home and with a significant proportion of members using it when in need of urgent support.
Willen Hospice
Our donation helped to fund the social care support for families and children. The patients referred to Willen are often traumatised and need emotional support to come to terms with their diagnosis. The impact of this life-changing news often stretches far wider than the person who is unwell, as families and friends need pre- and post-bereavement support.
For some patients and families, their need for support goes beyond the medical and emotional, which is where the social team is able to assist. This team helps with the practicalities of life, such as finances and parenting when circumstances become difficult or further complicated due to a palliative diagnosis. The team help the whole family in the months leading up to the reassurance that those that are left behind will be looked after as long as they need support. The pandemic has disproportionately impacted the most vulnerable in our communities and the social team were therefore needed more than ever to assist those falling into crisis, particularly those losing jobs, being placed on furlough or in areas where local support services were not easily accessible.

Report of the Trustees
for the Period 5 May 2020 to 31 May 2021
Helen and Douglas House
Helen and Douglas House is a hospice focusing on end-of-life care for children. Our donation enabled the completion of their garden renovation project. The garden and outside space is , enabling the hospice to care for more children into the outdoors. However, the garden had become tired, run-down and in desperate need of improvement and renovation. Our donation enabled the transformative project to be completed, providing new areas for play, covered spaces for sitting, water features, sensory areas for wellbeing and a multi-functional space to be used for treatment and therapies.
Captain Tom 100 supported charities (discretionary grants made post balance sheet date)
The COVID pandemic and national lockdowns had a profound impact on many sectors of society. With schools closed for prolonged periods and students and their parents having to adapt to new ways of learning, many young children suffered mental health challenges linked to the uncertainty of the pandemic, the sense of isolation from their friends and, in some cases, family pressures brought about by the lockdown. It is estimated that in 2020, one in six children and young people had a diagnosable mental health condition, an increase on the one in nine just three years previously. The Trustees felt strongly that they wished to support young people and made subsequent discretionary grants to the following charities:
YouthNetUK (The Mix)
Mix helps young people to take on challenges they are facing from mental health to money, from homelessness to finding a job, from break-ups to drugs. Young people can talk via the online Mix community or through a confidential helpline via their counselling service.
YoungMinds Trust
YoungMinds is a national charity which works to promote the mental health of children. By working with young people, parents and professionals, YoungMinds provides a range of online and face-to-face services, including training and the running of media campaigns to reduce the stigma of mental health and to raise awareness, in order to improve the lives of thousands of young people in the future.
Place2Be
Place2Be is a longand staff in UK schools. Support is provided in schools through one-to-one and group counselling, using research-backed methods. Place2Be also offers expert training and professional qualifications.
Additional donations made post balance sheet date
The Trustees agreed to make discretionary donations to the following organisations:
Edith Cavell Fund for Nurses (registered charity number 1160148) The Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity (registered charity number 1119499) The Florence Nightingale Foundation (registered charity number 229229)

THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees
for the Period 5 May 2020 to 31 May 2021
Edith Cavell Fund for Nurses
This organisation helps nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants - both working and retired - when they are suffering personal or financial hardship. This is often due to illness, disability, older age, domestic abuse and the impact of coronavirus. The charity has faced unprecedented levels of demand for their services over the last two years and our grant enabled the charity to provide urgent support to nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants in difficulty or in crisis.
The Florence Nightingale Hospice
Based on the campus of Stoke Mandeville Hospital, the Hospice is run by Bucks NHS Healthcare Trust and is partly funded by the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity. Our donation enabled the employment of a nurse to provide care during the night to patients with palliative and life-limiting conditions.
The Florence Nightingale Foundation
Since 1929, the Foundation has been providing scholarships to the best nurses and midwives in the UK, who then make a difference to patient care, policy and practice in their chosen field. The Captain Tom Foundation donation enabled the sponsorship of a candidate enrolled on the Florence Nightingale Foundation Scholarship programme, commencing in April 2022.
Grant-making Policy
The Foundation has established its grant-making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit, to improve the lives of individuals and to support charitable and not-for-profit celebrating and empowering our older generation, particularly around loneliness and mental health. Whilst our focus going forward will be on our older generation, in this period we also raised funds to support loneliness and mental health, particularly youth mental health and made donations to charities that support NHS nurses and midwives.
The Trustees review the grant-making policy annually to ensure that it reflects the Foundation objects and thereby advances public benefit. In addition, the Trustees rely on the Secretary to ensure that any review process retains a focus on the public benefit derived from the funding of the individuals and projects.
The Trustees have the power to spend both income and capital. Generally, the Trustees spend the income on an annual basis in furtherance of the objects, but retain the discretion to spend the capital if required.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The total value of all grants awarded during the period is £160,000. Grants awarded during the period are shown in note 6 in the accounts. Detail of the impact of these grants has been given earlier in this report.
Plans for Future Periods
The Trustees believe that their grants have translated into significant public benefit. The Foundation is a lasting testimony to the philanthropic endeavour of Captain Sir Tom Moore.

THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees
for the Period 5 May 2020 to 31 May 2021
Throughout the year, we have been talking to our supporters and other stakeholders on the subject of future focus and where The Captain Tom name can be used to deliver the most benefit. so unique and touchingly authentic. We hardly ever hear about the achievements of our older generation, nor do we acknowledge how they can still have a positive impact on society.
y that few
individuals have ever done before, creating huge admiration both for him as an individual and for his generation he truly did precipitate
Research carried out in the UK by TLF in May 2021 shows us that 95% of all respondents (across all age groups) have heard of Captain Sir Tom Moore and that 62% have heard of the Foundation. This represents the impact and brand awareness that we have and why we are best placed to take on and accomplish our mission.
Our mission is to start a revolution that will allow our growing older generation to feel seen, heard and most importantly, valued by society. We want to show the power of connecting the generations; we shall support, celebrate and empower them. We shall give them a voice to share their wisdom and ensure that they live a purposeful life. In aid of realising this vision held by the man himself, we shall launch a global fundraising event called Captain Tom Day.
The annual Captain Tom Day will celebrate the wit and wisdom of our wonderful older generation, a vast resource that is too often ignored .
At a time when our population is growing rapidly and yet - in Britain and many other countries around the world - steadily ageing, there is a need now more than ever to connect the generations, to strengthen the bonds between older and younger people.
In a Children in Need-style celebration, Britain's showcase their talents and experiences. The day will be a festival of inspirational stories showing how our older generation can still make a positive impact on society.
The money raised by Captain Tom Day will go towards initiatives championing learning between generations and giving a voice to our wonderful older generation. The specific causes and organisations will be carefully selected by a committee with a deep knowledge of the sector, brought together by the Foundation.
We are excited by the future direction of the Foundation and the opportunities that lie ahead of us, so that we can deliver real change and help to build a more hopeful world.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Foundation amounted to £1,096,526. As a newly established charity, expenditure has been incurred in building the team, which for some months worked on a voluntary basis until funds were forthcoming. During this period, we also incurred costs in appointing The Philanthropy Company who provided expert support on governance and fundraising initiatives as well as working with our charity partners to identify initiatives that the Foundation could support and which would drive value and public benefit. During this period our discretionary grants amounted to £160,000 and there was an excess of income over expenditure hence the additional grants made post the balance sheet date. As of 31 May 2021, the value of the capital assets (cash) stood at £710,718.

Investment Policy and Performance
The investment powers of the Trustees are wide. The Trustees have absolute discretion in this regard and are treated as the absolute owners beneficially entitled. At present, all capital
Risk Management
The Trustees continue to develop their risk management policy and are establishing a full and detailed risk register through which they will actively manage risk within the Foundation.
Currently the principal risks identified by the Trustees are:
Capital erosion of assets (currently cash) to mitigate this we actively pursue fundraising initiatives and are in the process of appointing additional resource to head this important activity. The Trustees are mindful of the need to retain sufficient capital to ensure that the Foundation can continue and deliver its long-term plans.
Loss or breach of data the Trustees review our Data Protection Policy, Financial Controls Policy and Grant Giving Policy on a regular basis. We work closely with our IT provider to ensure that our systems and processes are kept updated and maintained.
Loss of key staff we are currently part-way through a process to recruit additional Trustee support alongside a Chief Executive and Fundraising Lead. Until these appointments are made we are reliant on a very small team. We mitigate the loss of key staff with notice periods, file sharing and performance management.
Reserves Policy
The whole of the Foundation which at the period end amounted to £695,889. At this time the Trustees consider that maintaining reserves of circa £500,000 is sufficient to ensure its ongoing commitments can be met.
Fundraising
We raise funds primarily from donations but also from organised fundraising events, such as The Captain Tom 100. We aim to build strong and transparent relationships with our supporters as it is only through their generosity that our work is possible.
During this period we worked with a professional fundraising consultancy who assisted in identifying potential corporate donors as well as liaising with the charity partners that we supported to ensure that our donations gave the maximum public benefit. We are currently recruiting for a Fundraising Lead who will drive and support our existing team to ensure that our work complies with the Fundraising Code of Practise as well as the standards set by the Fundraising Regulator.
During this period we received two complaints that were made to the Information Commissioners Office in respect of a GDPR breach and furthermore The Fundraising Regulator identified a number of issues of concern on our website. We have positively engaged with both regulatory bodies and all matters have been satisfactorily resolved.
We consider the Fundraising Code in all our activities to ensure that our fundraising continues to be legal, open, honest and respectful.

THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees
for the Period 5 May 2020 to 31 May 2021
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 which 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and 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
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Cooper Parry Group Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 3[rd] February 2022 and signed on the board's behalf by:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION (the 'charitable company') for the period ended 31 May 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 May 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trust for the other information contained within the annual report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
12
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below:
Our assessment focussed on key laws and regulations the charitable company has to comply with and areas of the financial statements we assessed as being more susceptible to misstatement. These key laws and regulations included but were not limited to compliance with the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, taxation legislation, data protection and anti-bribery.
13
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of THE CAPTAIN TOM FOUNDATION
We are not responsible for preventing irregularities. Our approach to detecting irregularities included, but was not limited to, the following:
-
obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and how the charitable company is complying with that framework, including agreement of financial statement disclosures to underlying documentation and other evidence;
-
obtaining an understanding of the charitable co the charitable company has applied relevant control procedures, through discussions with trustees and other management and by performing walkthrough testing over key areas;
-
obtaining an understanding of the charita the risk of fraud; and
-
performing audit testing to address the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also considered the likelihood of detection based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those arising from error.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period 5 May 2020 to 31 May 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The Captain Tom Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given in the Foundation information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Foundation's operations and principal activities is to make grants to charitable and not-for-profit organisations that improve es which include supporting, celebrating and empowering our older generation, particularly around loneliness and mental health. Whilst our focus going forward will be on our older generation, in this period we also raised funds to support loneliness and mental health, particularly youth mental health and made donations to charities that support NHS nurses and midwives.
The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), effective from 1 January 2019, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Foundation.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the Foundation is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Resources expended
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.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Support costs are those that assist the work of the Foundation, do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Foundation. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
