M & G M FRYDMAN FOUNDATION

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2022

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

Objectives and activities

Objectives and aims

The objective of the Charity is to provide relief and assistance; for the advancement of education, religion or for other purposes beneficial to the community.

The primary activity of the Charity is to donate to causes chosen by the Trustees. The foundation has supported a number of organisations on a long-term basis.

The Trustees believe that the future donations would be sufficient to carry out the objectives of the Trust.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities they should undertake.

Impact of COVID-19

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including future cash flows in making their assessment.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees are aware this small charity relies on the main source of income from retail/commercial rents received and therefore potentially impacted. They have taken into account the impact on their business of possible scenarios brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact, mainly by reducing the charity's own donations made in accordance with cash received.

Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

Achievement and performance

Charitable activities

The Statement of Financial Activities is set out on page four of the financial statements.

Below is a summary of the financial results and the work of the charity.

Income

The primary sources of income are property rental of £29,448 (2021: £33,255) and interest on bank deposits of £30 (2021: £171).

Donations

The foundation has made donations of £26,240 (2021: £22,490) to those organisations chosen by the Trustees.

Financial review

Financial position

The value of the unrestricted Fund has decreased in the year from £80,720 at the start of the year to £73,094 at the end of the year. The balance of the monies held are to be regarded as revenue to meet future commitments.

Investment policy and objectives

The investment policies of the Trustees are described in the Trust Deed. The Trust Deed allows the Trustees to invest trust monies in any property and investment and it is the policy of the foundation to maintain restricted funds.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been well exceeded throughout the year.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of M & G M Frydman Foundation

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of M & G M Frydman Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

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.
