## **LEE BOLTON MONIER-WILLIAMS LLP** 1 The Sanctuary Westminster London SW1P 3JT ## **PAT ALLSOP CHARITABLE TRUST** ## **PART A:** ## **Legal and Administrative Information** Name of Charity: Pat Allsop Charitable Trust Charity Number: 1030950 Principal Address: c/o Lee Bolton Monier-Williams LLP, 1 The Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3JT Governing Document: A Trust Deed dated the 23rd day of January 1976 and made between Patrick Thomas Falconer Allsop (1) and the Partners of Allsop & Co. and H B Dehn (2) The persons legally responsible for the control and management of the Charity: The Trustees who are Mr Wayne Taylor, Mr Scott Tyler, Mr Andrew Hoban and Mrs Catherine Pugsley Advisors: Solicitors Lee Bolton Monier-Williams LLP of 1 The Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3JT Investment Advisors & Portfolio Rathbones Group plc incorprating Investec Wealth & Managers Investment of 30 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7QN Independent Examiner Thomas Ward FCA Restrictions in the Charity's governing document: The Charity's objects are for education and the relief of poverty. The Charity has no permanent endowment. Investment Powers: The Charity has unrestricted investment powers. The Trustee Act 2000 does not extend the investment powers of the Trustees. Investments The investments are held in the name of the nominee company of Rathbones Group plc incorprating Investec Wealth & Investment or are held by overseas agents to order of Rathbones Group plc incorprating Investec Wealth & Investment . 1 Aims and Organisation ## **PART B: Narrative Information** The main purposes and objects for which the Charity is established are the furtherance of education, including the payment of school fees, and the relief of poverty. The organisation of the Charity is that it is managed by the Trustees and has no paid staff; under the terms of the Governing Document professional trustees are entitled to be remunerated. The Charity uses professional advisers to carry out administrative tasks in connection with the furtherance of its charitable objects. The Trustees have meetings once or twice each year in which they determine the aims of the Charity during the following period; those aims are then carried out by the authority of two or more of the trustees. The Charity achieves its objects by making donations to other registered charities and by supporting research. The original founder of the charity was a partner in Allsop & Co, Chartered Surveyors, Auctioneers and Property Managers. The Trustees bear this in mind when determining the charitable donations to be made, in that they favour donations which have connections with the surveying and property management professions, and support educational projects which are connected with those professions. The Trustees have maintained the Charity’s aims and organisation without major changes in the year. ## **Review of Progress and Achievements** During the financial year of the Charity, the Trustees continued to make donations as set out in Schedule III, making a number of major donations (over £2,500) and some smaller donations in order to support charities which the Trustees consider to be particularly deserving, or charities which have a connection with the surveying profession or the firm of Allsop LLP. The Trustees made larger charitable donations during the year comprising: |The Story of Christmas|£11,500| |---|---| |Jewish Care|£7,500| |LandAid|£10,000| ## The total donations were **£40,700** **-** The value of the trust assets at 31 August 2025 was **£1,378,340** (31.08.2024 £1,330,410) including cash balances. ## **Review of Financial activities and affairs** Although the Trust does not have a permanent endowment, the policy of the Trustees is to maintain the capital of the Trust and (subject to the investment policy set out below) to make charitable donations out of the income of the Trust, in order to ensure that the Trust Fund is maintained, and that the charitable intentions of the founder of the Charity can continue in the future. The trust has received payments from Allsop LLP and its associated companies which comprised balances held by them from rent deposits, purchase deposits and payments on account of rent/service charges. The persons entitled to these balances were not able to be identified by Allsop LLP, and as a result they were donated to the Pat Allsop Charitable Trust, on the basis that if the persons entitled to the funds or a part of them, made a claim against Allsop LLP, the funds would be returned to them. The Trustees have entered into Deeds of Indemnity with Allsop LLP accordingly. The amounts received by the Trust have been shown in the Annual Accounts, and were £40,788 in October 2012, £65,833 in October 2014 and £81,602 in February 2019. During the year the gross investment income received was **£32,458** before expenses, and the total income for the year 2025/26 is estimated to be c **£26,380** , so that (after expenses) the amount of income available for donations would be approximately **£13,380** . However, the Trustees have decided that the investment of the trust fund should be on a total return basis, as the Trustees consider too much emphasis on an income return reduces the scope to make capital gains, and that a greater overall return can be achieved by investing in this way. The Trust portfolio is now managed with a primarily ‘Growth’ objective and the holdings of fixed interest stocks, which provide a higher yield, have been substantially reduced. It is the intention of the Trustees to make donations totalling approximately 4% of the value of the trust fund each year, which will amount to c **£55,000** based on the current value of the fund, with the excess over the actual income return being funded from the capital of the Trust. |**CAPITAL ACCOUNT**

This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. ## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 145 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act - have not been met; or - b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 5, Market Yard Mews Thomas Ward FCA 194-204 Bermondsey Street Lonsdale Ward Limited London SE1 3TQ 25[th ] March 2026
