Financial Reviews
The net surplus for the year was £302,150, (2020: net deficit of £277,386). At the end of year the reserves were £1,047,339 (2020: £745,189). The chief reason for the surplus in the year was the market conditions had recovered from the impact of Covid-19 in the prior year which had impacted the value of the Trust’s listed investments.
Principal sources of funding were investment income. Expenditure to various charitable organisations support the objectives of the Trust.
Investment income was up from £37,951 (2020) to £40,580 (2021) which was in line with expectations.
Investment Policy
The Trustees investment objectives are to achieve a balance between capital growth and to generate sufficient income to cover the distributions to charitable causes.
Following the sale of the Investment property on 3 September 2004 the Trust’s assets are mainly held in cash earning interest awaiting the appropriate moment to reinvest in the Stock Market.
Public Benefit
The Charity’s Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Commission in exercising their power of duties.

Future Plans

Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and a fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which 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. 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.

THE JOE HYMAN CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JOE HYMAN CHARITABLE TRUST YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011. Our work had been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s members as a body, for our work, or for the opinions we have formed. I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2019 which are set out on pages 8 to 12.
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) and that an independent examination is needed.
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 Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 explanation from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required if an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether, the financial statement present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

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