REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Financial Statements
The Trustees present their annual report and the financial statements of the trust for the year ended 31 March 2023. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the requirements of the charity’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): Accounting and Reporting by 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) (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
Constitution and principal activity
The charity was established by deed on 16 March 1987 by A H Dunn. The deed directs that the charity's funds should be used for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion consider fit.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the trustee’s report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards 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 assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and 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 or other irregularities.
Appointment of Trustees
New Trustees are appointed by the existing Trustees.
Trustees' remuneration
There were no fees or charges paid to any Trustees in the year.
Trustees review
During the year the trustees awarded charitable donations amounting to £85,500 (2022: £82,500) as detailed in Note 3. The incoming resources of the charity amounted to £64,467 (2022: £58,981) and the excess of expenditure over income before accounting for changes to investments amounted to a deficit of £52,598 (2022: deficit £56,383).

DUNN FAMILY CHARITABLE TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)
Purpose and Aims
The objective of the Charity is for the funds to be used for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion consider fit.
Delivering Public Benefit
Our main aim is to make donations to registered charities. The Trustees review the work of the charities nominated to receive the donations to ensure a public benefit will be achieved.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set.
Ensuring the aims are met
In the year under review the Trustees have considered and reviewed a wide range of applications for charitable donations. The Trustees have made 32 (2022: 32) donations to registered charities amounting to £85,500 (2022: £82,500).
Reserves policy
The Trustees reserve the ability to retain part of the trust’s income for any year as part of its reserves and not to distribute the whole of the unexpended income if in that year the Trustees do not identify sufficient recipients worthy of their support.
Investment policy
Investments are held which are considered by the Trustees to be appropriate in terms of both income generation and capital growth for the purpose of the Charity.
Risk assessment
The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
The simplicity of the Charity and its structure leads the trustees to believe that there are no major risks to which the charity is exposed.

-
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].

Quoted investments have been stated at market value at 31 March 2023.
The cost of investments at 31 March 2023 was £1,883,042 (2022: £1,857,224). The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
