The Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies set out on Pages 8 and 9 and comply with the Charity’s Declaration of Trust and applicable law. ## • _**OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**_ The Trustees shall stand possessed of the Trust Fund upon trust to pay or apply the whole of the income and the capital of the Trust Fund for the purposes of: 1. The relief and assistance of poor and needy persons in the UK or elsewhere irrespective of colour, race or creed. 2. The advancement of the education of individuals and/or educational or training establishments in the UK or elsewhere. 3. To carry out such other purposes and to do such other things for the relief of poverty or the advancement of education as the Trustees in their discretion shall from time to time decide. ## _**Grant Making Policy**_ To act according to the Declaration of Trust which enables grants and donations to be made from both income and capital. The Trustees meet at least quarterly and, depending on the level of Reserves, discuss which Institutions or other Charitable Beneficiaries according to English Law they feel would be worthy recipients of funds. All distributions must be agreed by the majority of the Trustees. The Charity occasionally receives written requests for support, and discusses these at their meetings. A decision to support must, again, be approved by the majority of the Trustees. ## _**Charities and Public Benefit**_ The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the Charity complies with that guidance. ## • _**ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**_ During the year, the Trustees exercised their powers to support institutions and others qualified as Charitable Beneficiaries according to English Law these amounted to £14,000 _(2022: £12,100)._ Page 3 ## **THE HARLEA CHARITABLE TRUST** _Charity Registration Number 327324_ TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT _(Continued)_ ## • _**FINANCIAL REVIEW**_ ## _**Review of the Charity’s Financial Position**_ The Charity’s Incoming Resources amounted to some £114k ( _2022: £10k_ ). Resources Expended amounted to some £16k ( _2022: £14k_ ) and hence after Net (Gains)/Losses on Investments of some £0k ( _2022: (£2k_ )) there was a surplus/(deficit) for the year of some £98k ( _2022: £(2)k)_ . The Charity’s Funds increased/(decreased) by the same amount ( _2022: increased/(decreased) by the same amount)._ ## _**Reserves Policy**_ The Charity’s Reserves are represented primarily in Cash at Bank as described in the section headed “Investments Policy”. The Trustees try to retain cash reserves where practical, however, the continued improvement of the premises and facilities is the primary objective at the moment. The Trustees feel comfortable relying on their pool of donors and work hard to ensure that the Charity is not dependent on one or two individuals which ensures regular cash flow into the Charity. At the end of the year the Charity held an Unrestricted Fund Reserve amounting to some £163k ( _2022: £64k)._ ## _**Going Concern**_ The Trustees have prepared the Accounts on a going concern basis because in their opinion it is appropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation. ## _**Investments Policy**_ The Charity holds most of its surplus funds in a Business Reserve Bank Account. The Trustees resolved that the Charity should try and increase its return on the assets it holds and hence has made a modest investment in a Blue Chip Publicly Quoted Company’s shares. The investment currently yields in excess of 5.6% _(2022: 4.2%)._ ( _2022:increased from £4.70 = £4.749_ ) and this movement in value has been included as incoming resources in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the time of writing this report the share price was holding at a lower level of £4.08. ## _**Reserves Policy**_ The Charity holds cash reserves which have arisen from the disposal of Investments. The Charity pays out the bank interest and other income received annually as Charitable Donations. ## _**Risk Management**_ The Trustees regularly undertake a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and systems designed to mitigate those risks are considered on an ongoing basis. The principal risk which the Trustees have currently identified would be a fall in interest rates. The Trustees mitigate this risk by regularly monitoring High Street Bank interest rates.

I report in respect of my examination of the Accounts of the Charity carried out under Section 145 of the 2011 Act and, in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(b) of the 2011 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 which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 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 in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached.
