DYB3 FOUNDATION
Trustees’ report
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report covering the year ended 31 March 2024
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The Founders have set up the Foundation to benefit any purpose which is exclusively charitable under the laws of England and Wales.
The current funding priorities of the Trustees are to focus on supporting charities which:
-
support young people and apprentices;
-
support local communities; and
-
advance the protection of the environment.
The Trustees believe these causes will benefit the community as a whole and therefore satisfy the requirements for public benefit.
Financial review
During the year the Founders did not gift any investments (2023: £99,251) into the Foundation. There were no set up costs incurred (2023: £9,540).
Donations of £18,000 (2023: £18,000) were made to charitable causes.
The net worth of the Foundation at the period end was £62,711 (2023: £71,731) as shown on the Balance Sheet on page 8.
Investment strategy and risk
The investment objective is to aim to protect the real value of the investment, subject to the amounts withdrawn for making donations over the expected life of the Foundation. This is achieved by investing in a portfolio managed by Coutts.
Reserves policy
All the funds of the Foundation are treated as an expendable endowment and may be distributed by the Trustees in future years. Sufficient funds are kept to ensure any committed donations can be paid in full and all running costs of the Foundation can be met as they fall due.
3
Future plans
The Trustees intend to continue to make further donations to causes they support at a similar level to previous years.
Structure, governance and management
The Foundation was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and was registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 21 January 2022, and its registered number is 1197616.
Currently all the administration of the Foundation is managed by the Trustees themselves. All the Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee was paid during the period.
There are no staff employed by the Foundation. This is expected to be the case for the foreseeable future.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 period in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable regulations). Under that 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 of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement Of Recommended Practice
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and 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 Charities (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.

I hereby report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the DYB3 FOUNDATION (the Foundation) for the year ended 31[st] March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the Foundation you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

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 Foundation as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
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 accounts to be reached.

DYB3 FOUNDATION
Notes to the financial statements For year ended 31 March 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The DYB3 Foundation is incorporated as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, founded on 21 January 2022, and its registration with The Charity Commission for England and Wales, is number 1197616.
1.1 Basis of preparation and going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of fixed asset investments, and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and "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) (effective 1January 2019)"
The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. With respect to the next reporting period, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Foundation are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets (see the investment strategy and risk section in the Trustees' annual report for more information).
1.2 Fund accounting
The Founders made an initial gift to the Foundation of £99,251. All the funds of the Foundation are treated as an Expendable Endowment.
1.3 Income recognition
All income is recognised once the Foundation has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Dividends from investments are recognised at their record date.
Endowment funds from the Founder Trustees are recognised when they are received by the Foundation’s investment manager.
9
1.4 Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
Support costs are allocated to the activities either by direct attribution or an estimate of relative time involved. The majority of costs support the grant making activity and are so allocated.
The allocation of governance and support costs is analysed in note 4.
Governance costs comprise all costs involved in the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs relating to legal fees together with an allocation of support costs.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Foundation. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Foundation.
The costs of raising funds consist of investment management fees.
1.5 Fixed asset investments
Quoted investments are initially measured at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. All gains and losses, both realised and unrealised, are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
1.6 Debtors and creditors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
10
1.8 Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is identified and disclosed for those grants resulting from:
-
a possible obligation which will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the Trustees' control; or
-
a present obligation following a grant offer where settlement is either not considered probable; or
-
the amount has not been communicated in the grant offer and that amount cannot be estimated reliably
1.9 Taxation
The Foundation is a registered charity and accordingly is exempt from taxation on its income and gains where they are applied for charitable purposes.
