Charity name: The Etauliers Charitable Foundation Charity registration number: 1194712

Objectives and Activities

Purpose:

The purpose of The Etauliers Charitable Foundation (“the Charity”) is to disburse the income it has received in donations towards such charitable purposes for the benefit of the public as the Trustees from time to time in their absolute discretion decide in accordance with Christian values, including, in particular but not limited to the following:

3.4.1 The promotion of public education and of research into mental health problems of all kinds, their prevention, causes, treatment and care, provided that the useful results of any such research are made public; and

Activities:

The principal activities of the Charity are the consideration of suitable charities which it wishes to support, either based on applications received or pro-active selection of particular areas that the Trustees believe to be appropriate. Once donations are made the Charity expects to maintain an on-going relationship so that it can establish that donations are being used effectively and in line with the intended purpose.

Trustee Statement:

The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The trustees are satisfied that their duty to benefit the public is being fulfilled.

Achievements in the Year:

Following its establishment in 2021, the Charity was able to commence making grants in 2022. The total amount awarded in the current year was £40,644 (2022: £35,798 ) to 20 charities (2022: 13 ), with the largest single award of £7,644 and the smallest award of £500. All awards were made to UK registered charities.

Seven larger awards (defined as £2,000 or more) were made to charities to support specific activities. These included:

The smaller grants were made to a number of charities that work in a number of areas. These included helping prisoners and refugees to develop employable skills; assisting wounded veterans to adjust to civilian life; charities raising awareness of bowel and prostate cancer; and projects which support families, encouraging reading and aim to reduce gang violence.

Financial review:

During the year, the settlor made an additional grant of £50,000 to the Charity. The grant qualifies for Gift Aid, which has been accounted for but not yet received from HMRC. During the year the amount of £130,784 was received from HMRC in respect of the Gift Aid on donations made in previous years.

The first set of grants were made during the year totalling £40,644. The charity's funds as at 5 April 2024 were £742,340, including Gift Aid to be received from HMRC.

Governance:

The Trustees expect to meet formally, with an agenda and minutes, several times per year to consider potential grant making proposals; to review progress of existing donations; and to address on-going management of the charity.

Risk Management:

The major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks. In particular, as mentioned above, the Trustees do not enter into commitments in excess of their available cash resources and as a result they operate in a very low risk environment. Any drop in income received will be matched by an appropriate reduction in expenditure.
