TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "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 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
The objects of the CIO are to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the charity trustees see fit from time to time and in particular but not limited to:
-
promoting social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming Socially Excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are Socially Excluded and assisting them to integrate into society; and
-
relieving sickness and the preservation of health by making grants to fund medical equipment, facilities or services for public benefit.
Nothing in the constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for the purposes which are not charitable in accordance Section 207 of the Charities Act 2011.
For the purpose of this clause "Socially Excluded" means being excluded from society, or 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 (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards; crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society).
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 the period covered by the accounts, grants were made to two charities; one supporting women and the other for men whose work is directed to the re-entry into employment of ex-offenders on their release from prison. Details of the grants will be found in note 5 of the accounts. It is intended that further grants will be made to each charity in 2022.
Financial review
During the period charity's total income is £1,000,000 and total expenditure is £104,515.
The charity’s current activity is solely the making of grants. It has no employees and minimal expenses. In the circumstances, although it monitors its assets regularly to ensure that they are sufficient to meet its committed obligations it does not consider that a formal reserves policy is currently necessary.
The Trustees has 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.
Future plans
The charity continues to review opportunities to make grants in accordance with its objectives and to consider what additional activities it may undertake in their furtherance.
In 2022-23, grant of £50,000 committed to Switchback and Working Chance each. Also, the charity will make a donation of £50,000 over one year in support of five schools. This payment will be paid by the charity to the Magic Breakfast charity.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of , which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
