Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2024
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2024. 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.

Financial review
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.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
