TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2023. The previous financial statements represent the period from registration on 5 July 2021 to 5 April 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8 to 9 and with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, current statutory requirements, the Charities Act 2011, 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) (Second Edition) and the Charity’s governing document.
Objectives and Activities
The objectives of the Charity are to advance charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Trustees see fit in their absolute discretion to determine.
The Trustees support other charities through grants, both short and longer term. They also consider grants to individuals where the impact on the individual will also in the future, by way of the training or education provided, benefit others in the wider community.
The Trustees confirm that in accordance with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning their future grant making activities.
Legal and Administrative Information
Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.
The Trustees throughout the year were as follows:
Daisy Honeybunn Pravin Mukhi Keith Mitchell
Principal Funding
The Charity’s income is made up of donations and gifts in kind.
Achievements and Performance
The Statement of Financial Activities (including the income and expenditure account) set out on page 6 of the financial statements shows how the Charity’s incoming resources have been expended in the year ended 5 April 2023.
The Charity made grants of £371 (period ended 5 April 2022: £39,711) during the year. The Charity makes grants on a merit basis after reviewing the Foundation’s financial position and as such grants are expected to vary year on year. Many of the charity’s projects are still in their nascent stages as the DHD Foundation is a relatively ‘young’ foundation. Therefore many of the activities funded in 2022 are ongoing and funded through 2023. Daisy Honeybunn and Pravin Mukhi, Trustees, have donated a lot of their time and skillsets to the organisations and individuals they are working with, this adds much, much more value to the financial grants provided and was the focus in this financial year.
During the year ended 5 April 2023 the Charity invested in building a website and improving branding. This is an investment in the Charity’s future and will be used to showcase the charitable activities going forward.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
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 year.
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.
The trustees’ are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
This report was approved and signed on behalf of the Trustees on 5 February 2024.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The DHD Foundation (‘the Charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, 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.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’.

2.3 Income
Donations receivable are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when: the Charity becomes entitled to the resources; the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income tax is recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant and is recognised at time of receipt.
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Expenditure on charitable activities comprises all costs associated with the running of the Charity, including those incurred in connection with administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
2.5 Financial instruments
The Charity holds financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments, those being accruals and other debtors. These are initially recognised at transactions value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
