REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024 |
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 31 January 2024. 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 |
Objectives and aims |
The Handa Foundation objectives are to advance: |
- The understanding and promotion of education, sport and religion; and |
- Such other charitable activities as the trustees in their discretion think fit. |
Public benefit |
Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the advancement of the education of the public in all forms of sport and culture. This may take any or all of the following forms: |
- The promotion of education, sport and religion; |
- Supporting of educational, sporting and religious activities beyond the boundaries of age, ability, origin and |
- Assistance in the training of sports people. |
To achieve these goals, the charity anticipates periodically undertaking a variety of fund raising events and activities.Whilst the trustees have been active in the year, no fresh projects have been funded. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Ensuring our work delivers our aims |
We will review our aims, objectives and activities each year. The review looks at what we achieved in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups or individuals we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees will consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. |
Review of the period and future developments |
The Trustees continue to evaluate the aims of the charity and are presently exploring opportunities regarding projects and the funding thereof. In the past, the charity having donated to the Football Clubs in Global Partnership project, the charity continues to explore further opportunities for similar projects in the community in line with its objectives, as well as work with its sister charities worldwide promoting similar charitable aims. As with many areas of society the ability to achieve these aims had been restricted by the Covid-19 pandemic for a large part of the year. |
The charity continued to keep its administration and governance costs to a minimum, as the intention remains that of being as cost efficient as possible for the charity. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. This review encompassed the nature of the income and expenditure streams, the need to match variable income with fixed commitments and the nature of the reserves, presently all an unrestricted fund. |
The review concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer against interrupting ongoing commitments as well as ad hoc projects, a general reserve needs to be maintained. As at 31 January 2024 this reserve had not been established reflecting the present low level of activity. The level of reserve will be reviewed regularly to ensure sufficient funding from the principal benefactor whilst finding new donors for specific project as well as exploring alternate forms of fund raising. |

Basis of preparing the financial statements |

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Taxation |
The charitable company is a registered charity and as a result, is not liable to income tax or capital gains tax. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity and, as such, is included in the relevant costs in these financial statements. |
Fund accounting |
