OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The foundation has as its primary purposes having regard to the public benefit the;
-
Promotion of education in the arts of people studying at university or higher education in the U.K and the rest of the world including by awarding to such persons scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants tenable at any university, college or institution of higher or further education.
-
Providing their education (specifically study of the arts), to undertake travel in furtherance of that education or to prepare for entry to any occupation, trade or profession on leaving any educational establishment.
-
Assisting in the treatment and care of young persons suffering from cancer or those in need of rehabilitation as a result of such illness, by the provision of grants and financial assistance to cover the cost of treatments where they are facing barriers in accessing them.
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commissioner's guidance on public benefit namely Public Benefit: An Overview, Public Benefit: the public benefit requirement (PB1), Public Benefit: running a charity (PB2) and Public Benefit: reporting (PB3).
Given the short eight month financial period since registration on 5 May 2023 the trustees have focused their efforts on raising the necessary financial resources to be able to pursue the foundation's purposes.
The model that supports the foundation's fund raising efforts is such that fine art pieces produced by David Yarrow are donated to registered charitable concerns who in turn auction these at an event they curate. The gross proceeds of any donation for a donated art piece are split as between the charity, sixty-six per cent and the foundation, thirty-three per cent. The charity is responsible for all costs related to the event at which the fine artwork is sold.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Period 5 May 2023 to 31 December 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
Going concern
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, being a period of at least 12 months and 1 day from the signing date. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Share costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments, as covered by Section 11 of FRS 102, are measured at amortised cost. The charity does not have any Other Financial Instruments, as covered by Section 12 of FRS 102.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. The gain or loss on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between sales proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment
- 33% on cost
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
