The Daniel Falkner Charitable Trust
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 2020. 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Charity gives grants to such Charities or for such Charitable purposes and in such proportions and in such manner and subject to such terms and conditions as the Trustees may from time to time at their uncontrolled discretion determine. In setting our objectives, the Trustees select the causes to benefit from donations after careful consideration, and speculative applications are unlikely to be successful.
Significant activities
The Trust mainly makes grants to individual scientific researchers primarily in Israel, and the UK and to other similar organisations supporting scientific research, such as the Weizmann Institute and Ben Gurion University in Israel. In addition the Trustees give grants to other charitable organisations with non scientific objects.
Public benefit
In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, and are satisfied that they comply with that guidance.
Grantmaking
Grants are made in accordance with the Trust Deed governing the Daniel Falkner Charitable Trust, and focus primarily on scientific research in Israel and the UK. In addition donations are made to other charitable bodies and individuals.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity made grants appropriate to the aims of supporting scientific research and other grants as noted above during the year totalling £92,045, (2021 £65,490).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The investment objective is to maximise the investments return through active management in the stock market using an experienced Fund Manager, Barclays Wealth Management, and this is reviewed at regular intervals. The charity also holds a number of smaller investments, with recognised investment managers, for example Henderson and M & G. A medium to high risk investment approach has been taken as the focus is on capital growth.
Reserves policy
The Charity's funds were largely provided by the late Daniel Falkner who hoped that the Trust would be maintained long term as a grant making body, and therefore his legacy is an Expendable Endowment. The Trustees consider that a sum no less than three years commitments as an appropriate level of reserves.
The reserves policy and level of reserves required are reviewed on a regular basis by the Trustees during their meetings. The Trustees have reserves carried forward within the unrestricted fund of £1,101,421 which is sufficient to fund three years commitments.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a Trust Deed dated 13 December 1978, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The current trustees choose individuals with the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity.
Organisational structure

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Daniel Falkner Charitable Trust
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Daniel Falkner Charitable Trust
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Daniel Falkner Charitable Trust (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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
