REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD 02[ND] JULY 2023 TO 01[ST] JULY 2025

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the period ended 01st July 2025. The purpose of this report is to provide information about the charity's activities, financial performance, and the trustees' stewardship of the charity's resources. This report complies with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity Commission.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity’s principal objective is to advance purposes that are charitable under the law of England and Wales, as determined by the trustees.

In line with this, the Foundation supports a range of public benefit activities, including grant-making and direct charitable work, with a focus on education, poverty relief, community development, health, the arts, humanitarian support, and other recognised charitable purposes.

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, as required by the Charities Act 2011, when reviewing the objects and ongoing strategy of the Foundation. The Foundation ensures that proper due diligence is undertaken to establish that proposed projects are charitable.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

In line with its charitable purposes, the charity focused its activities on grant-making, educational campaigns, and direct poverty relief. The majority of funds supported UK-registered charities, selected by the Trustees based on need and alignment with the charity’s aims. Recipients were chosen for their proven ability to deliver sustainable, high-impact outcomes. Further expenditure supported public education and assistance to individuals facing recognised hardship.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity’s primary source of income is through donations and contributions from the Trustees.

The Trustees believe it is important to maintain reserves at a level sufficient to ensure continuity of activities in the event of an external shock or reduction in donations.

The reserves level is reviewed annually to ensure it remains appropriate to the scale and needs of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, AND MANAGEMENT

The Foundation for Education, Arts and Culture is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission on 19th July 2023. The charity is governed by its three Trustees, who hold formal meetings every 3 to 4 months or as required.

The charity is led by a Board of Trustees who ensure its direction and strategy are aligned with its charitable objectives. The Trustees retain the sole decision-making power regarding the charity’s governance.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. The charity's gross income did not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5))b) of the 2011 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements.
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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 2015)

have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
