REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 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 30 April 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 aim of the charity is the prevention or relief of poverty, financial hardship or poor health through the provisions of grants, assets and services to individuals throughout the world, in particular (but not exclusively) to children and to the elderly and also to charities or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty, financial hardship or poor health of individuals worldwide. |
The prevention or relief of poverty, financial hardship or poor health throughout the world by providing or assisting with the welfare needs of individuals including the provision of education, training, healthcare projects and all the necessary support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and be self sufficient. |
Significant activities |
The Yianis Christodoulou Foundation raises funds through volunteer donations and provides support in accordance with its objectives and aims for prevention or relief of poverty, financial hardship or poor health of individuals worldwide. |
Public benefit |
The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Fundraising activities |
The charity raised £54,541 (2023: £15,934) in the year and continued to use funds in accordance within the charities objectives and aims. |
During the year, funds were spent on prizes awarded to various schools following the Love Cyprus event held in April 2023. The awards were used to improve schools premises. Also the balance of works at two special needs schools was completed and paid for in relation to the Gala held in 2022. |
Money was raised during the year from unrestricted donations received. |
In terms of positive and negative factors both within and not within the charities control the charity feels that many of these factors do not impact the charities future plans. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
At the year end the charity had net assets of £374,542. |
Reserves policy |
The charity's funds are managed to ensure the certainty of running expenses being available at any point in time. The Trustees believe that a specific reserve is not required as the charity does not incur any operational costs.This is due to the fact that only when funds are generated/received are they then used for the benefit of projects and in the furtherance of the charities aims and objectives. |
Going concern |
The charity has robust reserves in place to cover full running costs for the foreseeable future and when able, will continue its projects in line with the aims and objectives of the charity. |
FUTURE PLANS |
To build on the momentum in the charity and continue raising funds to achieve its objectives and aims. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
The charity has a history of long serving trustees with no current plans for further appointments of changes. The charity does not have any employees and there is therefore no current process for recruitment. |

Creditors and provisions |
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. |
Going Concern |
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. |
After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
