Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) |
|
Year ended 31 December 2023
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended
31 December 2023
.
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the charity are the advancement of health or saving of lives and the prevention or relief of poverty through Water, Sanitation and Hygiene projects (WaSH).
Significant activities
Every Well Water Foundation
's (EWWF) mission is to transform lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in villages and communities across Africa and Asia. EWWF concentrates on fundraising and works closely with like-minded organisations to maximise its impact and find the best solutions for each village and community it works with.
Public benefit
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aim and objectives and in planning the charity's future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set.
Achievements and performance
2023 showed a surprising return for fundraising given that our corporate contribution from a main donor halved during the year, but still a significant proportion of funding came from the annual charity dinner which again was held at the City Pavilion in Romford. A well appreciated arm of income was achieved through a donor completing a half marathon, and raising a substantial amount for the charity. Thank you and well done on behalf of the trustees.
Plans for 2024
The plans for next year will only involve two fund raising events, namely, the fundraising dinner in March and a charity football match around July. We will of course continue to invite donations from individuals and partnerships as well as promoting more Just Giving events which should provide the capability to spend in the region of £80,000 on projects in 2024, reflecting the Trustees desire to spend the funds raised rapidly and keep overheads to a minimum.
Financial review
Financial Position
The charity's total income and expenditure for the year amounted to £79,162 and £92,803 respectively. Expenses amounting to £90,035 were spent on charitable activities in target countries, facilitated through EWWF partners.
Reserves policy
The trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves, i.e. those unrestricted funds not designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed.
The trustees consider that, given the nature of the charity's activities, the ideal reserve as at any given time to be in the region of three months expenditure. The trustees are of the opinion that this level of reserves provides sufficient flexibility to cover shortfalls in incoming resources, provide adequate working capital and allow the charity to meet its charitable objectives.
At 31 December 2023, the charity had net assets of £3,854, of which £5,774 is cash at bank and £1,920 are creditors for project commitments and accountancy fees. A proportion of these reserves has already been committed for new projects. However, as trustees, we consider the charity to be in good order with regard to its reserves policy.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charitable company is constituted as a company limited by guarantee (Company Registration No.
10533521
(England and Wales) and is a charity registered for charitable purposes with the Charity Commission (Charity Registration No. 1176102
).
The charitable company is governed by its memorandum and articles of association, dated on the 20th December 2016.
Resignation of trustee
Mr Neil Andrew Turton resigned as Trustee with effect from 31/12/2023.
Recruiting and appointment of new trustees
New Trustees are appointed based on their interest in the work of charity and their recognised expertise in specific fields which will further support the work of the charity.
Induction and training of new trustees
Any new trustee will be fully briefed on the history of the trust, and its objectives and plans, as well as the management and operational processes. Trustees can retire when they wish as they do not serve under a fixed term of tenure.
Chairman
Mr Jeffrey Clifford Rivers has been appointed Chairman with effect from 31/12/2023.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Every Well Water Foundation |
|
Year ended 31 December 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of
Every Well Water Foundation
('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:
1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 ; 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 Companies Act 2006 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
|
Year ended 31 December 2023
1.
General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Unit 1, Fairview Industrial Park, Marsh Way, Rainham, Essex, RM13 8UH, United Kingdom.
2.
Statement of compliance
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 Companies Act 2006.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
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.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
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.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are 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. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - 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 to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity 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. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
4.
Limited by guarantee
If the company is wound up at the time they are still all members or within one year after they ceased to be a member, they will contribute to the assets of the company by such amount as may be required for:
. payment of debts and liabilities of the company contracted before they ceased to be member,. payment of costs, charges and expenses of winding up, and,. adjustment of the rights of the contributors among themselves, not exceeding the specified amount £1 each
