Trustees’ Report
Year ending April 2025
Background:
-
Hartslock Charitable Foundation was incorporated as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) on 20[th] July 2023.
-
Its trustees are Monika Stender, Andrew Bishop, Robin Williamson (Chair) and Barbara Karayi (company secretary).
-
The source of funding of our charity is £505,000 of private money placed into the Hartslock Charitable Foundation bank account by Barbara Karayi in December 2023.
-
The aim of the charitable company is to benefit an Ealingbased charity, West London Equality Centre (WLEC), that meets the objectives of the Hartslock Charitable Foundation to fund its ability to take its free legal advice to a higher level than current advice and casework.
-
The Hartslock Charitable Foundation opened a Charity Aid Foundation bank account in November 2023. There is a cash account and a Gold account. All 4 trustees have mandates. There is no chequebook.
-
The charitable company has not spent any money yet but is expecting to receive a funding request in due course.
The year to April 2025:
- WLEC’s CEO, Edmund Akeju, is working on a proposal that will cover costs of a part time solicitor and cover the costs of a caseworker. It is anticipated that the Trustees will also
Hartslock Charitable Foundation – an incorporated charitable company – 1204048 Hartslock House, Manor Road, Goring RG8 9EJ
visit the office of WLEC in Ealing to see the organisation in action.
-
As a result we are currently still waiting to meet the objectives of the charity and the money remains unspent (except for bank charges).
-
We do not pay trustees expenses and there are no employees. The only services that we have paid for are banking charges.
-
We are looking to insure the trustees and appoint a company to produce accounts.
-
There are no conflicts of interest issues at this moment. There is a policy in place to deal with that should it arise.
-
There are no other changes to report at this moment.
