Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the trustees consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The business model of the Foundation is such that its charitable activities are limited to those which it has sufficient funds to support from the excess of funding received over the costs of administering the Foundation. The Foundation therefore has no specific commitments and no committed costs beyond its fixed costs of operation which are detailed in note 5. The trustees have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the Foundation will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Consequently, the trustees are confident that the Foundation will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “On 18 March 2025 by written resolution, the trustees of the Golden Jubilee Trust (charity number 1079195) resolved to exercise their power to transfer the Trust Fund to the John Lewis Partnership Foundation (a charitable company registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 1118162) and approved the dissolution of the Golden Jubilee Trust. The trustees of the Golden Jubilee Trust resolved to transfer the Trust Fund to be held on a special trust as a Restricted Fund which can only be applied for the purposes set out in the Deed of Appointment, Indemnity and Termination.”
• “Two key developments took place during the year under review; the transfer of the Golden Jubilee Trust into the Foundation at the end of March 2025, and the appointment of Dame Oriana Clare Tickell as Interim Chair of Trustees in June 2025.”
• “In the second half of the year, the Foundation began a strategic review of its work, governance, and structure to become more than the sum of its parts towards future impact and outcome driven success.”
