**FOR THE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION ON 5 JULY 2021 TO 5 APRIL 2022** 

## **DHD FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **Financial Review (continued)** 

There are no funds in deficit at the date of the financial statements. The Charity’s financial position at the balance sheet date is sufficient to meet ongoing expenditure and future plans. 

The Charity’s reserves consist of its Unrestricted Fund which had a balance of £15,138 at the period end. The Trustees will continue to review the level of reserves of the Charity. 

The Fund and its Trustees do not hold any funds as Custodians Trustees on behalf of others. 

The Trustees’ powers to invest are unrestricted. The Trustees may consider future investments as they see fit. The Trustees will continue to review the level and nature of the funds invested with regard to the changing investment climate. 

## **Legal and Administrative Information** 

Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. 

The Trustees throughout the period were as follows: 

Daisy Honeybunn (appointed 5 July 2021) Pravin Mukhi (appointed 5 July 2021) Keith Mitchell (appointed 5 July 2021) 

## **Grant Making Policy** 

## _**Other charities**_ 

The Trustees will review the Foundation’s financial position and grant spend at each meeting prior to the awarding of new grants. Recipients of larger grants will be required to send details of how the grant has been applied and contributed towards the charity’s objectives along with their annual report and accounts. 

## _**Individuals**_ 

The Trustees are currently not accepting unsolicited applications from individuals. The Trustees consider funding individuals only if the training, education or skill developed will provide a platform or opportunity which would not have otherwise been available to these individuals. 

Currently, the Trustees are focusing on equity within the Equestrian Industry, providing opportunities and access for traditionally under-represented and under-served communities within the UK. 

## **Structure Governance and Management** 

The DHD Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established by Daisy Honeybunn and governed according to the Charity’s Constitution dated 5 July 2021. 

With the exception of the founding Trustees, each Trustee must be appointed for a term of three years (or such other term as the trustees may determine) by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity Trustees. 

Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and disclose potential conflicts of interest on at least an annual basis.

## **DHD FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **FOR THE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION ON 5 JULY 2021 TO 5 APRIL 2022** 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK 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 charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

This report was approved and signed on behalf of the Trustees on 3 February 2023.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION ON 5 JULY 2021 TO 5 APRIL 2022** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The DHD Foundation (‘the charity’) for the period from registration on 5 July 2021 to 5 April 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including the income and expenditure account), the Balance Sheet and related notes. 

This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed 

## **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 Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 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.
