Report of the Trustees

For The Year Ended 31 December 2022

Overview

Reverence for Life UK, registered charity number 1197043, has been established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”) to continue the work of Reverence for Life UK incorporating Dr Schweitzer’s Hospital Fund, registered charity number 1102057, a Charitable Unincorporated Association.

The charity has been established as a CIO to support its future growth, in particular to provide an appropriate structure to attract further funding opportunities. The charitable objectives of the CIO are largely the same as the previous charity.

The objects of the CIO are:

• 1) To advance the education of the public about Albert Schweitzer, and

• 2) To support such charitable projects in the UK and Worldwide as the trustees from time to time determine.

Activities

Following approval by the Charity Commission on 10[th] December, 2021, activities have focused on opening a bank account, establishing internal policies and creating the charity’s governance structure.

There was a single financial transaction during 2022, a £100 receipt from Lloyds Bank as compensation for delays opening the bank account.

The assets of the previous charity have been transferred to the CIO in 2023 to enable it to commence operations, following which the existing charity is being closed.

Given the limited activity in the period, these accounts have not been subject to review by an Independent Examiner.

Reserves

At the year-end, the charity’s reserves were £100.

Trustees

None of the trustees received any benefits or remuneration during the period.
