## **DR RICHARD SOLOMONS' CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2026**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 6 April 2025 to 5 April 2026.
The Charity also operates under the name The Stella Charitable Trust.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The Trustees stand possessed of the Trust Fund and the income thereof upon trust to pay the same at their discretion to charitable organisations or individuals for educational purposes or for relief by reason of poverty, sickness, age, accident or disaster, or for charitable purposes generally.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Main achievements of the Charity**
The Charity maintains it’s aims of support to smaller charities that are secular, generally with incomes below £700,000 a year, and overheads below 16% of income, that spend a major proportion of their administrative funds in the country in which they operate to reduce poverty in a sustainable manner and where local partners participate and have some control over the choice and implementation of programmes.
We have supported irrigation and clean water programmes that are fundamental to the health and well-being of the communities they serve.
We have continued to support Bees Abroad which is community focussed and has particularly low overhead costs. We have also continued to support Chase Africa and their projects in family planning and in community tree-planting.
## **Financial review**
## **a. Overview**
The attached financial statements show the financial results of the charity for the year.
Income from stock market investments for the year amounted to £16,424 (2025: £14,196) as detailed in the accounts. Grants made during the year amounted to £52,000 (2025: £55,000).
## **b. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
## **c. Reserves policy**
The Trustees wish to retain sufficient reserves to continue the current level of grant making. Having reviewed The Charity’s finances the Trustees consider this can be achieved by maintaining the existing level of investments. The Trustees consider all funds to be unrestricted and that grants from the capital fund would be made if a specific need arose.

## **DR RICHARD SOLOMONS' CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2026**
## **d. Investments policy**
The Trustees, with the advice of their investment managers, have adopted a medium risk policy with an aim of income generation. The investment policy excludes armaments or military companies and those trading in tobacco.
## **e. Principal risks and uncertainties**
The Trustees have reviewed the risks faced by the charity and consider their existing systems minimise these risks. The Trustees consider that the major risk faced by the charity is the fluctuation in the value of, and the income generated by, its investments. The Trustees have mitigated this risk by using the services of a leading investment manager, J M Finn and Co.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
Dr Richard Solomons' Charitable Trust is a registered charity, number 277309, and is constituted under a Trust deed dated 9 November 1978. The Settlor is Richard Edgar Bethel Solomons. The Trust is usually referred to as The Stella Charitable Trust.
The Trust terminates on 9 November 2058, or such earlier date as the Trustees in their absolute discretion may determine.
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
New or additional trustees may be appointed by the settlor during his lifetime and thereafter by his eldest child. The maximum number of trustees is five.
The day to day running of the charity and suggestions for the recipient and timing of grants are made by Dr Richard Solomons. Material decisions, approval of grants, policy changes and the approval of the trustees report and annual accounts are made by all trustees.

## **DR RICHARD SOLOMONS' CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2026**
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2026**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Dr Richard Solomons' Charitable Trust ('the Charity')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2026.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

## **2.2 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
## **2.3 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
