The Scurrah Wainwright Charity
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 5 April 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025. 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 trustees hold the capital and income upon trust to apply the income and all or part of the capital for charitable purposes and to make donations to charitable institutions at such times and in such a manner as the trustees may in their absolute discretion think fit. The aim of the charity is to support a wide range of charitable projects, with an emphasis on social reform both in Britain and abroad.
Significant activities
The charity's main activity is investment in order to support the payment of grants.
Public benefit
All approved grants are considered by the trustees to be for public benefit. In providing this support, the trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Grantmaking
The charity invites applications for funding through directories of grant-making trusts and through its website www.wainwrighttrusts.org.uk. Applicants are invited to submit background information about themselves, the project they intend to pursue and details of its practical implementation, together with budgets and other sources of finance. The charity gives strong consideration to applications from the Yorkshire region as well as to those from Southern Africa, particularly Zimbabwe. The trustees require feedback on the actual use of grants awarded and the achievements made in order to monitor and assess the quality of grants made.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the year the charity has been able to provide grants to support thirty nine organisations with diverse aims and for the benefit of countless individuals.
Fundraising activities
The charity does not actively raise funds.
Investment performance
The charity relies on its investment managers, Trinity Bridge, to manage investment income to support the charity's grant-making activity.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
All income is distributed every year with none being held in reserve; the reserves held by the charity are purely of a capital nature. This capital reserve is held in order to generate future investment income to enable grants to be made in future years.
Funds in deficit
An element of capital may be distributed each year which may result in the revenue reserve falling into deficit.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The charity takes its name from Henry Scurrah Wainwright OBE who was a chartered accountant and social reformer. He was instrumental in founding and growing the Leeds medical company Chas F Thackray Ltd. The charity was originally endowed through funds from the sale of that company in 1990.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Appointments are based on the unanimous agreement of all trustees. New trustees may be appointed at any time but so that the total number of trustees shall at no time exceed ten.
Organisational structure
The trustees meet three times a year to assess grant applications for approval or refusal.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Scurrah Wainwright Charity
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Scurrah Wainwright Charity
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Scurrah Wainwright Charity (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 for the Year Ended 5 April 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
