Superhero Foundation (Registered number: 08999877)

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 30 April 2023


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2023. 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
The aim of the Superhero Foundation, under the direction and governance of the Trustees, is to enable any person treatment to improve their health and life experience not made readily available by any statutory body, such as the National Health Service. This is achieved by empowering the close family members of those who require the treatment and assisting them to raise the funds necessary by taking on activities, challenges and events.

The objective is to take on three families each year and achieve the level of funding necessary for a family member to obtain the treatment they require.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Activities undertaken to further the charitable objectives for the public benefit included the following; paying for the aftercare physiotherapy treatment for one young girl who has hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) in the hope to ease her pain in her legs and improve her walking; further aftercare treatment has been made for one young boy that have cerebral palsy, trying to improve his walking ability; we've also been supporting a lady to help fund a new bionic arm; we've continued supporting a Mum (whose son Dylan sadly passed whilst we were supporting their fundraising) to get her therapy to help with her bereavement. We haven't taken on any new families this year; we've continued to fund treatments for the families we're already connected with. We've continued to progress on a new volunteer program initiative, matching families with unwell or disabled children with a volunteer to give them support where needed.

As Trustees, we are extremely grateful to those who have given their time and made donations, gifts, legacies, and grants during the year. Without these it would not have been possible for the Superhero Foundation to maintain and develop its operating and charitable activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The statement of financial activities on page 5 show the incoming resources and the application of those resources for the Superhero Foundation. The key factors are as follows:

During the year ended 30 April 2023, the Superhero Foundation again managed to maintain its fund-raising activities and was able to raise £35,896 for their chosen causes. In addition they secured donations of £20,581 to enable them to cover the annual running costs of the charity and increase the free reserves to £166,383.

It is the policy of the charity to maintain free reserves, at a level that equates to between three and twelve months of the unrestricted resources expended. This would provide a cushion against fluctuations in the income and would enable the charity to continue with its current operating and charitable activities. As at 30 April 2023 the reserves of £166,383 were well within this reserves policy.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 30 April 2023



Mr J D McDonald - Trustee

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Superhero Foundation

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Superhero Foundation ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the 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:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.
