## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Grantmaking GRANTS**
We donate to local charitable organisations who make formal requests to us.
We only donate to registered charities.
Charities need to make formal application and prove that their aims fall within our objectives.
We do not normally donate cash funds for general purposes but require that grant applications are for specific purchases and that full supporting information is supplied.
We establish close working relationships with the charities who seek grants from us and ensure we get good information and feedback as to how our grants have been used so that the public benefit can be proven to our supporters.
During this financial year we have donated to:
## **MacMillan Caring Locally charity no 1189412** based at Christchurch hospital **-**
We have grown and expanded our relationship with this charity over the year and are now one of their Golden fund raising Partners.
We make regular donations of £1000 to the charity from the sale of High quality menswear which we ticket specifically for this organisation. This is an ongoing arrangement. In this financial year we have paid for a new shower room within their hospice which included full wall graphics, adjustable coloured lighting, audio equipment and brand new shower and toilet facilities as well as a specialist wheelchair drying system. Our total commitment to this refurbishment exceeded £10,000
## **The Dorset Children's Foundation - charity no.1150538**
We have made donations to this charity since our inception. The charity provide care and equipment for severely disabled children in the BPC council area.
We received an application for funding for their Saturday Club which provides a social and interactive experience every Saturday for profoundly disabled children and an annual break for children and their parents/siblings at a specialist holiday centre. We provided 50% funding in the sum of £4,500 and this has been used as initial funding for the charity to go out and secure funding for the remaining 50% which was successfully secured.
## **Other Grants**
We have provided smaller grants during the year to two Boscombe based registered charities

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Principal funding sources HOW WE RAISE OUR FUNDS**
Since the charities inception in 2019 we have run a charity shop in the Sovereign Shopping Centre in Boscombe.
The shop trades as Boscombe's Charity Shop
The shop is held under a commercial lease which gives us reasonable long term security.
The shop is in a prime location within the centre very close to the main entrance from Christchurch Road the principal shopping thoroughfare in Boscombe. The shop has a high footfall and is very popular with shoppers.
We have two back up storage units within the service areas of the shopping Centre. The shop is well fitted with high quality shop fittings.
We operate a EBAY charity store which we use to sell items that we feel we cannot get full value by selling in the shop
All our stock is donated by the public and no stock is purchased from outside parties. We have a very good reputation of taking in nearly all donated items with only minor exceptions relating to dangerous and illegal items and clothing and bedding which is beyond merchantable quality. We have a van which enables us to offer a free collection service to the public who wish to donate items to the charity.
By design we have created a charity shop that offers high quality products at sensible prices which not only maximises our sales income but also provides good value for our customers. As well as offering a full range of clothing and shoes we have a very extensive offering of bric a brac, china and glass, books, audio and visual products, small furniture, artwork, jewellery and much more.
We operate a large section of the shop where items are sold at a fixed price of £1. This enables us to sell items which many other charity shops would normally dispose of. We take very seriously our aims to minimise disposing of items to landfill and all unsaleable clothing is sold as Rags to properly licensed rag collection companies who either onward sell items or recycle the goods.
We receive a few minor cash donations from customers.
## **Reserves policy**
We operate a reserves policy to ensure we have sufficient cash reserves to cover six months running expenses for the shop and stores.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNEMOUTH AND DISTRICT CANCER FOUNDATION**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bournemouth and District Cancer Foundation ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Page 6
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNEMOUTH AND DISTRICT CANCER FOUNDATION**
## **Independent examiner's statement - matters of concern identified**
I have completed my examination.
Accounts were filed at Companies House without an Independent Examiner's report and in a format that was not available to a Charity.
The following payments were not made in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011:-
F Perry-Symes, a Trustee, was paid £12,221 in the year. The payment was based on a percentage of the sales made in the charity shop.
The wife of a Trustee, was paid £1,450 for accountancy work during the year.
I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; and
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
