## **Objectives and Activities**
Dandia was established for general charitable purposes. Although other causes are considered, in practice Dandia focuses on the support of charitable activities in the south west of England and on causes relating to the advancement or the education and welfare of children.
The charity does not hold any funds as a custodian trustee.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its activities for the year and have satisfied themselves that the charity's aims are for the public benefit, as can be seen from this Report.

## **Dandia Charitable Trust TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT**
## **Achievements and Performance**
In the year under consideration, grants of £75,500 (2021: £85,000) were made.
As with many charities in the current climate, the maintenance of secure investment income is perceived to be a challenge in the future.
The charity does not raise any monies from third parties and is engaged purely in grant-making in accordance with the policies outlined above.
## **Financial Review**
The Statement of Financial Activities on page 6 shows the results for the year. The net movement in funds of the charity was £129,558 surplus (2022: £94,467 surplus).
The Balance Sheet on page 7 details the financial position of the charity and shows net assets of £2,100,222 (2022: £1,970,664).
During the year the Trust made donations totalling £75,500 (2022: £85,000) as detailed on page 11 of the financial statements, in accordance with the objectives of the Trust.
It is the policy of the Trust to retain a minimum of £75,500 (2022: £85,000) at any one time by way of reserves, representing one year's grant giving. At 30 June 2023, free reserves, represented by the charity's net current assets, amounted to £485,222 (2022: £457,664).
The investment policies are governed by the Trust's Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Directors have in the past made investments in property to provide a secure stream of income with the potential for increases in capital growth.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
In the longer term the directors aim to ensure that the charity will have a sufficient endowment to enable it to apply the income thereof in such a way as to make a significant contribution towards the furtherance of charitable causes for the benefit of children, whilst maintaining and growing the value of its capital base.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Dandia Charitable Trust is a company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Acts and limited by guarantee (company registration number 01974522). The company is a registered charity (charity registration number 293664) and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

**Dandia Charitable Trust NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **for the year ended 30 June 2023**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
Dandia Charitable Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
## **Going Concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
## **Change in basis of accounting or to previous accounts**
There has been no change to the accounting policies (valuation rules and method of accounting) since last year and no changes have been made to accounts for previous years.
## **Fund accounting**
All funds held by the charity are unrestricted and can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
## **Income**
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. Investment income is recognised when receivable.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis, as set out in the notes to the accounts.
Page 8
**Dandia Charitable Trust NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Investment property**
The company's properties are held for long-term investment. Investment properties are accounted for as follows:
(i) Investment properties are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in "Net gains/(losses) on investments" in the Statement of Financial Activities
(ii) No depreciation is provided in respect of freehold and long leasehold investment properties.
Although the Companies Act would normally require the systematic annual depreciation of fixed assets, the directors believe that this policy of not providing depreciation is necessary in order for the accounts to give a true and fair view since the current value of investment properties and changes in that current value are of prime importance rather than a calculation of systematic annual depreciation. Depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation, and the amount which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.
## **Financial Instruments**
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
## **2 Company status**
The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of its members is limited to £1.
