## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 6TH APRIL 2022**
The Trustees present their report and accounts for the period ended 6th April 2022.
## **Summary of the Purposes of the Charity as set out in the Governing Document**
The prevention of poverty and relief of financial hardship among those involved (or previously involved) with dog agility in the UK (or their dependents or immediate relatives) who are in need by, but not limited to, the provision of grants of money for providing or paying for goods, services or facilities which they could not otherwise afford.
## **Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit**
The key way Forever Agility meets its objectives is through the provision of grants to those who apply to and meet our criteria.
## **Public Benefit Statement**
The trustees have made use of the guidance available from the Charities Commission. This report is intended to demonstrate that activities of the CIO provide identifiable benefit to the public or a section of the public, including people on low incomes, and that any private benefit occurring is incidental.
## **Achievements and Performance**
Still being a relatively new charity, we continued to have a focus on growing the charity name and making people aware of the ways in which we want to help the agility community.
We were successful in this and also benefited from an event held at the Kennel Club International Dog Show, which was a big boost in terms of publicity and fundraising.
As with the previous year, we identified that we still needed to work on letting more people know about the objectives of the charity, as we wanted to encourage more applications.
We were pleased to receive a number of successful applications, where we were able to provide financial assistance. We also received a follow up from one of the applicants a few months later explaining how our help had really helped and they were now in a much better position.
## **Financial review**
As with last year, the charity still has minimal monthly outgoings. There is currently not a reserve policy in place. Again, our income from donations has significantly outweighed expenditure.
The charity’s principal source of funds for the financial year was donations. The fundraising event that raised the largest amount took place at a large dog show where a van was raffled off with the proceeds coming to Forever Agility.
We also received a large amount of donations from individuals who completed their own fundraising events for our benefit. We are extremely lucky to have such a large support from those in the agility community.
Our key area of expenditure has been in the form of grants, and this is the way we want it to be. The charity is run at a very low cost, with trustees volunteering their time and no payroll required. In this way we can ensure that as much expenditure as possible goes towards making grants which help meet our charitable objectives.
We do not currently have any investment initiatives.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 6TH APRIL 2022**
## **Financial Information**
The Charity Commission allows a small charity to opt to prepare their annual accounts on a ‘Receipts and Payments’ basis rather than an accruals basis which is required by medium and large charities. Forever Agility CIO is within the limits set by the Commission and as the trustees consider that the present financial controls that are presently in place are adequate to fulfil their responsibilities, the trustees have prepared the Financial Statements on the said Cash Basis.
Further details showing the financial position are provided in the Annual Statement of Accounts.
The charity remains dependent on the generous support of its donors as it seeks to further develop its activities.
## **Policy on Grants**
A grant making policy was agreed by the trustees in April 2021 and must be reviewed at least annually. For the avoidance of doubt, the trustees may review this policy at any time. The CIO apply the funds at their discretion and in accordance with the charitable objectives of the CIO.
## **Volunteers**
We would like to thank all the volunteers that give their time and energy to Forever Agility CIO.
## **Structure Governance and Management**
Forever Agility is a CIO which was registered at the Charity Commission on 24th August 2020.
The CIO constitution governs the running of Forever Agility. The CIO trustees who served during the Operating Period were:
Mr. R. Hennessy (appointed 24th August 2020) Mr. N. Ellis (appointed 24th August 2020) Ms. A. Wilkinson (appointed 24th August 2020) Ms. C. Harvey (appointed 24th August 2020)
The CIO constitution describes the procedure for trustee selection. There must be at least three CIO trustees. Every new trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the CIO trustees.
All decisions are made at meetings of the four charity trustees. At least three trustees must be present and agree to any decisions made.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS**
Report to the trustees of Forever Agility CIO on the accounts for the period ended 6th April 2022 set out on pages 8 to 11.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The CIO's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The CIO's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **7. STAFF COSTS AND NUMBERS**
The CIO employed no staff during this financial period.
## **8. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES**
No payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the CIO and a trustee or any person connected with them.
## **9. RESERVES POLICY**
The charity does not currently have a reserves policy in place.
## **10. PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the trustees report. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake.
## **11. TRANSFER OF FUNDS**
Prior to its registration as a CIO at the Charity Commission on 24th August 2020, Forever Agility operated as a voluntary organisation helping those in need within the dog agility community.
On successful charitable registration, the funds of £32,351 held in the existing bank account were agreed to be transferred to the CIO, and a new bank account was opened for the CIO. Therefore both bank accounts were running in tandem for a short time. The final balance of funds were transferred to the new CIO bank account on 12th April 2021.
