Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, 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 the 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 my examination which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
-
☐ the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
☐ the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
☐ the accounts did 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 order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE DAY HOUSE TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2022 - continued
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
New trustees are recruited when necessary and signify in writing their acceptance of the basis of belief and all trustees must sign every three years. New trustees are given a copy of the trust deed and Charity Commission guidance to trustees when invited to join the trust.
Risk management
The trust does not operate in the public domain and it is therefore considered that there are no risks with with regard to the general public. The endowment fund is managed on a discretionary basis by professional fund managers and the fund's performance reviewed at each meeting of the trustees.
Aims and objectives
The objects and aims of the charity are to further the Christian Gospel by grant aiding organisations and individuals engaged in Christian work in the UK and abroad. Grants are not generally made for capital work and consistent support of work is important, particularly where insufficient local funds are available.
Grant making policy
The trustees consider all requests for financial help and, provided the request is for the furtherance of the beliefs set out in the charity's trust deed, will, if possible, give financial help.
If any of the trustees have personal involvement with those receiving or applying for grants they make their interest known and are therefore not part of the decision making body.
Reserve policy
The costs of managing the investments in the endowment fund are borne by that fund, and the only expenditure out of the unrestricted fund is donations, the amount of which is directly related to the income received from the endowment, and bank charges. The trustees therefore consider it unnecessary to retain cash reserves beyond a level to maintain a prudent level of liquidity, set at a minimum of £15,000.

Principal fund source
No funds are generated apart from the original endowment and no appeals are made to the general public.
Investment policy
The investment policy is to generate as much income as possible while maintaining the overall value of the fund in line with inflation. The fund is managed by professional advisors.
Public benefit
Funds are provided to organisations and individuals so that members of the public may be made aware of the Christian message and its implications and benefits.
