## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**_
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Foundation for the year ending 5 April 2024.
The report and financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Foundation’s governing document, applicable laws, the Charities Act 2011 and "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).
## **1. Our Aims and Activities**
## **a. Foundation Strategy**
The Foundation's vision is a world where quality education is increasingly available to all and where environmental degradation is minimised.
Our Mission, therefore, is to support education and learning opportunities both in the UK and in South Africa and to support work being carried out for the benefit of the environment. The Trustees achieve this by funding educational organisations working for the benefit of young people and others, particularly the disadvantaged, and by funding organisations working to foster a sustainable future, countering the effects of climate change.
The majority of the organisations supported by the Foundation are based in the United Kingdom, with some bias towards Suffolk, where our founder lived and worked, and in South Africa where the impact of small grants converted into the local currency from sterling can have a disproportionately positive effect.
## **b. Review of activities**
Details of the Foundation's grantees, and the amount of each grant, are to be found in Note 7 to the Report and Financial Statements. To give readers a useful and informative view of the activities of the Foundation, we present below the areas of focus for our grant making activities this year and going forward.
## **(i) Education in the UK and South Africa**
- Grants given are for the benefit through education and learning, in its widest sense, of the disadvantaged.
- Education includes learning life skills, improvement in physical, social and mental wellbeing, outdoor activities, practical skills training and teacher training.
- In the UK, the focus of the Foundation is on projects benefitting those living predominantly in southern England with a bias towards East Anglia, particularly Suffolk. In South Africa, the Foundation concentrates on projects in the Pietermaritzburg and Cape Town areas.
## **(ii) Environmental Projects**
- The Foundation supports projects developing and implementing practical ways to address the environmental crisis, particularly those which involve engineering solutions to environmental problems.
- The Foundation supports environmental research projects at institutions of higher education particularly those where there are plans for dissemination to a wider audience and with a practical application for a positive change.
## **c. Plans for the future**
The Trustees aim at least to maintain, and may increase, the budget for grant expenditure, but will review this annually alongside income and reserves. The Trustees continue to seek out opportunities to expand the existing partnerships with our grantees where appropriate. The Trustees also aim to be alert to opportunities to provide links between our grant partners, promote dialogue between likeminded people and organisations, and be proactive in working together with other grant makers to achieve mutual aims. With a strong base built up over more than fifteen years, we are confident that our grants programme will continue to provide identifiable benefits to the charitable sector in the UK and South Africa, and both directly and indirectly to a wide range of individuals in need.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**_
## **2. Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Structure and management**
The Settlor of the Foundation was the late Mr Frank Jackson M.B.E., a well-known businessman and philanthropist from Woodbridge in Suffolk.
The Foundation is constituted under a Declaration of Trust dated 25 November 1991 amended by Deeds dated 9 March 2009 and 29 April 2013 and is a registered charity (no. 1007600).
The Foundation is governed by a maximum of Ten Trustees. Trustees serve for four years before retiring by rotation and are eligible for re-election.
The day-to-day affairs of the Foundation run with the support of a part time Administrator who is supported by a volunteer advisor in South Africa to strengthen relationships with partners in that country.
The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Ms Leila Brown
Mrs Mary-Anne Gribbon Mr Tim Seymour Mr David Tennant (Chairman) Mr Mark Sargeantson Ms Isabelle Haigh (Appointed 26 March 2024)
## **b. Governance**
All Trustees have full access to all the Foundation's files and details of its grants, strategy, policies and procedures. At the core of these procedures is the object of having adequate and relevant information and advice available to the Trustees when approving grants or when engaged in the administration of the Foundation, together with proper record keeping and full transparency. Trustees usually meet 4 times each year to assess grant applications, review progress of on-going projects, review the budget and investment portfolio and discuss and agree strategy.
The Trustees review, annually, governance policies and protocols that cover, risk assessment, investment, conflicts of interest, data protection, safeguarding, and payment procedures. The Trustees consider that they have examined the major strategic, business, and operational risks which the Foundation faces and confirm that they believe systems have been established to enable these risks to be managed properly. An important part of our due diligence in grant making is being confident in the abilities of those managing the organisations we fund. Therefore, Trustees are willing to approve grants to registered charities and educational institutions only after having visited and/or met with key management to assess suitability, and often take up references from other supporters.
The trustee’s policy on the induction and training of new trustees aims to ensure that all trustees are eligible to act, are fully cognisant of their responsibilities (legal and otherwise) and understand the vision, strategy, procedures and policies within which the Foundation operates. This includes the sharing of key documents such as Articles, Strategy, Minutes, Annual reports, policies and all grant applications and reports. The induction process includes meetings with key advisors, partners and trustees, visits to grant recipients and access to Charity Commission guidance and other training if appropriate.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**_
## **c. Grant making policy**
The Board of Trustees have sought to distribute substantially all the income of the Foundation, taking one year with the next, while having the broad aim of preserving the real value of its capital. The Trustees have discretion to give as much as they wish to charitable causes and in some years, if appropriate deserving projects are found, they may draw upon more of the capital.
The Board of Trustees are widely empowered to support charitable causes or purposes, but have chosen to set these in the context of a Strategic Plan to inform their grant making policy, which is reviewed at regular intervals (most recently in September 2024).
The Strategic Plan includes a number of giving principles such as the need for regular feedback and assessment where possible and where appropriate. In addition, all new grant applications are subject to an agreed form of due diligence to check organisational health and that projects are well planned. Grants to organisations are, as much as possible, in support of their core costs. Furthermore, Trustees avoid any open-ended commitment, which implies that all support programmes involving regular payments should have an end date.
The Trustees take a close interest in the projects supported by the Foundation. In addition to receiving annual reports from the beneficiaries the Trustees like to make regular visits to see the beneficiaries to discuss their work and, where possible, see it in action.
## **d. Public benefit statement**
The sections in this report entitled “Our Aims and Activities” and “Grant making policy” set out the Foundation's charitable objectives and report on the activities in the year to 5 April 2024 as well as explaining the plans for the current financial year and beyond.
The Trustees have considered these matters and concluded:
1. That the aims of the Foundation continue to be charitable;
2. That the aims and the work done give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector and both indirectly and directly to individuals in need;
3. That the benefits are for the public, are not unreasonably restricted in any way and certainly not by ability to pay; and
4. That there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or activities.
## **e. Investment policy**
Substantially all the assets of the Foundation are managed professionally by Handelsbanken Wealth Management and Sarasin & Partners. The Board of Trustees have agreed a similar investment policy with each of the fund managers, both of which use a Sustainable or Climate active strategy. The essence of the policy is to adopt a medium risk strategy which seeks as a minimum to preserve, in real terms, the value of the portfolio and to generate an income consistent with our grant making aims. The Trustees review their investment strategy and policy annually, and meet with investment managers annually to review performance.
At 5 April 2024 £26,181,788 (2023 £25,360,127) was held as part of the investment portfolio.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**_
## **f. Risk management**
The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Foundation has appropriate procedures in place to mitigate risks. The Board consider the risks to which the Foundation is exposed in an annual risk review, where they also review the systems that have been established to mitigate them. In this financial year trustees believed the principal risks faced were:
- Potential loss of income or capital due to fluctuations in investment markets, which is mitigated by employing experienced and well-regarded investment managers and giving them a clear mandate of strategy and benchmark, and regular review points. This risk is under scrutiny, particularly in the current climate, as the markets are being influenced by the world economic crisis, political turmoil and continued high inflation. Trustees take a long-term view on investments, and believe that the mitigations to minimise the impact are appropriate. Trustees continue to monitor this area at every trustee meeting.
- Failure or fraud by grant recipients, which is carefully managed with a thorough due diligence process before grants are approved, and regular contact with and reporting from grant recipients once a grant has been awarded. Trustees make periodic visits to potential and current grant recipients to keep check on organisational health and processes, as well as how funds are spent. Grant recipients are expected to submit regular reports, including audited financial statements. This process is enhanced by our advisor in South Africa who is able to pay close attention to the progress of grant recipients there.
The Trustees are satisfied that at present they have available to them all the appropriate financial, legal, accounting and investment management information and advice required to assess and plan for all risks that the Foundation may face.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**_
## **g. Financial review**
For the year ended 5 April 2024 the Foundation had incoming resources of £476,214 for the year and net expenditure of £951,894.
During the year the Foundation made 29 grants totalling £865,326, as detailed in Note 7, which compared with incoming resources of £476,214 . Since the year-end further grants of circa £176,069 have also been made.
Loss on investment assets totalled £29,432. Substantially all of the Foundation's assets are professionally managed in a balanced investment portfolio, in which the Foundation has invested £18 million (market value of £26,181,788 at the year-end).
After the fall in investments at the start of the global Covid19 pandemic, which was followed by a strong period of recovery and growth, the investments have been impacted during the last 2 years as rising inflation, increased interest rates and the current economic downturn and global political unrest lead to market losses. Although markets are currently struggling and investments have taken a slight dip, the trustees feel confident in the Investment Managers’ strategies to mitigate the risks and work forward through the challenges. Volatility is expected to continue for some time, but trustees maintain a long-term approach to finances and hold significant reserves to allow planned expenditure to continue.
## **h. Reserves policy**
As stated above, the Foundation's policy is to distribute substantially all its income, taking one year with the next. The invested endowment is, in effect, a financial reserve. Historically, the grants made in recent financial years have been broadly equivalent to the Foundation’s income, however due to weaker financial markets in recent years, this has not been the case within the previous two years. It is planned that this level of expenditure can be maintained in the future, but will be reviewed annually.
Total funds at 5 April 2024 were £26,703,068, which is 2.6% higher than at 5 April 2023.
## **i. Related parties**
We refer you to Note 16 of the financial statements for all related party transactions. All transactions in connection with related parties are on a wholly arm’s length basis.
The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**_
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Foundation and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Foundation for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Foundation and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Foundation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The Frank Jackson Foundation (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
As part of our planning process:
- We enquired of management the systems and controls the Charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The Charity did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Charity. We determined that the following were most relevant: the Charity SORP, FRS 102, Charities Act 2011 and Employment Law.
- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the Charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
- Using our knowledge of the Charity, together with the discussions held with the Charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:
- Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.
- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.
- Testing key income lines, in particular cut-off, for evidence of management bias.
- Assessing the validity of the classification of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities as unrestricted funds.
- Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank and investment balances.
- Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions.
- Reviewing documentation such as the charity board minutes for discussions of irregularities including fraud.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the trustees of the Charity.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **Other matters**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with "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)" in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **THE FRANK JACKSON FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Frank Jackson Foundation is constituted under a Declaration of Trust dated 25 November 1991 amended by Deeds dated 9 March 2009 and 29 April 2013 and is a registered charity (registration number. 1007600).
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Foundation's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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 January 2019)". The Foundation is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the current version of the Statement of Recommended Practice rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Foundation. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
The Trustees have considered the effects of the current economic and political situation, on the charity's activities. The Trustees saw a fall in the market value of its investments in 2023 which has since stabilised. The trustees therefore consider that the events are unlikely to cause material disruption to the charity's activities and believe that there are adequate resources, including the charity's significant investments, to be able to continue its activities. The Trustees are confident that the charity can continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Donations and legacies in 2024 was restricted for the Amathuba Foundation. All other income and expenditure in 2024 and 2023 was unrestricted.
Restricted funds are donations that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
## **1.4 Incoming resources**
Income is recognised when the Foundation is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Foundation has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Investment income is shown net of investment management costs charged directly to the Foundation. Indirect charges and commission relating to the professional management of the investments are incorporated within the acquisition and disposal costs of investments.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received by our investment advisor of the investment portfolio.

## **1.5 Resources expended**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure once there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated to the one charitable activity in the statement of financial activities.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one year or multi-year grant. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled conditions attaching to that grant are outside of the control of the charity.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make the grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
A provision for a multi-year grant is recognised at its present value where settlement is due over more than one year from the date of the award, there are no unfulfilled performance conditions under the control of the charity that would permit the charity to avoid making the future payments, settlement is probable, and the effect of discounting is material. The discount rate used is the rate offered on government bonds (Gilts) for a commensurate or similar time period offered in the year in which the grant award is made.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
## **1.6 Financial Instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.”
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Foundation does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the Foundation’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The Trustees do not believe there to be any judgements or estimates critical to the financial statements.
