**HOPE KITCHEN FOUNDATION** _TRUSTEES REPORT_
## **Trustees report for the year ended 31 December 2022**
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. This report is prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting Charities” (revised 2008) issued by the Charity Commission in March 2005.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities**
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in existence;
- Determine how amounts are presented within the statement of financial activities and balance sheet having regard to the substance of the reported transaction or arrangement, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or practice.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose the reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.
## **Objective principal activities**
The charity was created under a Trust Deed dated 4 August 2021 under a scheme
approved by the Charity Commissioners. The principal activity of the charity throughout the year was to receive donations and donate monies for charitable purposes for the benefit of the public in any part of the world as the trustees may, in their absolute discretion, think fit. The trustees will continue to consider applications for donations and will make such donations as they think fit in the foreseeable future.
## **Financial review**
The charity had a position for the year of £nil and made charitable donations in the furtherance of its objectives of £15,500.
The trustees are satisfied that the objects of the charity continue to be achieved.
## **Trustee appointment, induction and training**
The existing trustees have the power to appoint new trustees to fill specialist roles. When considering any new appointments, the trustees have regard to the requirement for any specialist skills needed to assist in meeting the charitable objectives.
New trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under charity law and the contents of the charity’s constitution. They are also advised of the decision making process, the principal activities and the financial performance of the charity. During their induction, new trustees meet key trustees and are also encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity’s reserve policy is to retain a sufficient level of reserves to make charitable donations.
All the funds of the charity are unrestricted.
## **Statement as To Disclosure of Information**
So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant information of which the independent examiner is unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that they ought

**HOPE KITCHEN FOUNDATION** _TRUSTEES REPORT_
to have taken as a trustee in order to make them aware of any information and to establish that they are aware of that information.
## **Public benefit Statement**
The trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when exercising powers and duties in furtherance of the charities objectives.
The Trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
