## **The Warwick Trust**
## **Trustees' report for the year ended 5 April 2025**
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's trust deed, 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).
## **Objects and activities**
The trust was established for charitable purposes only. The trustees have power to pay or apply income and (if and when they think fit) capital for charitable objects at their discretion. The trustees had power to accumulate income during the period of 21 years from 4 April 1993.
## **Achievements and performance**
During the year the trustees committed to make four new donations (2024: seven) totalling £34,600 (2024: £90,895) to various charitable institutions. The trustees also paid donations totalling £30,000 which were committed to be paid in previous years. See note 3 for further details.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's purposes and aims, and when planning future activities. In particular how planned activities will contribute to the achievement of the objectives and aims. The main activity undertaken for the public benefit is the making of grants to other registered charities.
## **Future plans**
The trustees intend to continue to support other registered charities, in line with their grants policy.
## **Financial review**
Incoming resources amounted to £152,911 (2024: £44,105) arising from investment income and donations. After expenditure of £17,152 (2024: £22,089) on support and fundraising costs, £34,600 (2024: £80,895) on donations and a loss on investments amounting to £45,953 (2024: gains of £151,561), there was an increase in funds of £55,206 (2024: £92,682).
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees consider the level of reserves at 5 April 2025 of £2,308,098 to be in line with the charity's reserve policy to hold investments that will produce income adequate to enable the trust to continue making charitable donations in the future in accordance with its objects.
## **Grant making policy**
The trustees will only make grants and donations to organisations as opposed to individuals. The trustees consider those causes they wish to support and make grants in those areas. There is no restriction on the types of activity they support but they generally support UK based activities and organisations. They do not generally support those charities providing overseas aid but will consider in situations of humanitarian conflict and disaster.
## **Investment policy**
The aim is to produce sufficient resources annually to maintain the level of grant making, and if possible, enhance the capital value of the funds of the charity. The investment manager has discretion to invest within agreed parameters and reports regularly to the trustees, who review the extent to which it has been possible to achieve the investment objective.

The Warwick Trust
## Trustees' report for the year ended 5 April 2025
## Trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the accounts 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 accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that year.
In preparing the accounts, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); - 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 accounts; and
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the relevant Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the charity's governing document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Warwick Trust**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Warwick Trust for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and the notes to the accounts, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, 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 charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.
