THE ARCHER TRUST
Annual report of the trustees
for the year ended 5 April 2021
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the trust’s 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 2015).
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
The trust is constituted under a charitable settlement dated 25 January 1994.
Ronald Walter Archer
Ronnie Archer, the inspiration for The Archer Trust, died at the comparatively young age of 62 in 1992. Though he lacked the aggression and overt ambition which are so often associated with success in the business and commercial world, Ronnie rose, it sometimes seemed without effort, through the ranks ofUnilever, until he became a main board director and eventually the company's Vice-Chairman. Inevitably his career brought material rewards, but he was never at home with wealth. Throughout his life he and his wife Catherine applied both his surplus earnings and funds associated with his Archer/Pease family background for the support of good causes. He provided the money; Catherine researched the beneficiaries.
His death did not bring this fruitful parmership to an end, for his estate and the company's generous provision for his widow maintained the surplus. Subsequently The Archer Trust was established by a charitable settlement dated 25" January 1994 and registered as a charity. It is hoped that The Archer Trust will be a suitable memorial for a talented but modest man.
Trustees
The trustees who served during the period from the beginning of the financial period to the date of the signing of this report, together with the reference and administrative information, are given on page 1.
The trustees normally meet twice a year in spring and autumn to consider the position of the trust and to decide on distributions to be made. The trustees do not normally respond to unsuccessful applicants.
At each meeting the trustees review the performance of the investment portfolio from valuations and advice supplied by the broker. At each meeting the trustees confirm regular grants and approve new grants if funds are available. The trustees have the power to distribute for the purposes of the trust all the assets of the trust. They aim to designate and invest the trust's assets so as to maintain a balance between income and capital growth, and to distribute the net income in grants for charitable purposes.
Trustees are appointed based on the skills and expertise required. The number of trustees is not defined in the trust deed. The appointment of any new trustees rests with the existing trustees who are responsible for their induction. New trustees are inducted and trained using relevant material on the Charity Commission website, the Trust’s constitution, recent annual reports and minutes, and through mentoring from existing trustees.
Statement oftrustees” responsibilities
Charity law 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 charity and its financial activities for that period.
In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, c) state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
d) prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business.
2
THE ARCHER TRUST
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
Principal objectives
The principal objects of the trust are: 1 To relieve suffering amongst the aged, impotent or poor; 2 To advance education; 3 To advance the Christian religion; and 4 To help such other charitable objects as the trustees may think fit.
Activities
The trust achieves its objectives by making grants to charities.
Grant making policy
Grants are made in accordance with the objectives of the trust. When allocating grants, the trustees favour small charities which provide support to defined groups of disadvantage or marginalised people, which are competently managed and able to provide up-to-date accounts, and which would be significantly assisted by a grant of between £1,000 and £5,000.
Applications for grants are invited in a number of ways: those who are given grants, except for one-off items, are invited to apply again; and the trustees advertise the Trust’s criteria for applications on its website and in a grantmaking trust directory. Any applications for grants should be made in writing to the trust's registered address as shown on page 1.
The coronavirus lockdowns and associated restrictions have meant that many of our beneficiary charities were either unable to operate or severely restricted in what they could do. However, the trustees identified that some of them were in a strong position to provide much needed support to a far greater number of people, especially those providing telephone or online support to those with mental health issues, isolated older people and those suffering or at risk from domestic violence. The trustees took immediate action to send unsolicited supplementary grants to several of our beneficiaries in that position and also to other charities in a strong position to expand their capacity to meet the sudden unexpected demand.
The trustees intend to continue to provide grants in a similar way, retaining flexibility as to the timing and scale of grant making. The trustees recognise that many of our beneficiary charities are in severe financial difficulties as a result of the lockdown, but also that we can only do a limited amount to help. The trustees have therefore decided to focus their support for the time being on enabling charities to adapt and respond to changing need rather than on assisting them to survive. . 7
Public benefit
The trustees confirm they have complied with their duties under section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011\to refer to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in setting the grant making policy for the year.
Achievements and performance
During the year, grants totalling £156,250 (2020: £240,750) were made to various registered charities and the details are given in note 4 to the financial statements. In view of the modest level of dividends being paid from the investment portfolio, the trustees have transferred £130,000 from designated to general funds to enable them to maintain and increase the level of grants being paid out.
Financial review
The investment performance during the year, an increase in value of £360,140 (2020: decrease £111,137), is encouraging. The trustees have appointed two different investment managers, Ruffer LLP and Investec Wealth & Investment Limited, who take significantly different approaches, to manage approximately half each of the trust’s

THE ARCHER TRUST
investment portfolio. The Investec portfolio is closely aligned to the stock market and gives back gains made during a bull market when the market crashes, as it did in March 2020. The Ruffer portfolio tends to underperform the market during a bull market and then do spectacularly well at a time of dislocation, as it did in March 2020. Both portfolios have performed well during the year ended 31 March 2021.
The reserves ofthe trust have increased by £387,736 (2020: decrease £218.926) during the year to £2,246,117 (2020: £1,858,381).
At 5 April 2021 the trust’s investments were valued at £1,927,265 (2020: £1,683,088) with a cost of £1,573,582 (2020: £1,609,838). The trust has chosen not to adopt formal ethical investment policies. The policy of the trustees is that the funds are managed on the basis of generating a balance between capital growth and income. Investment performance is compared to a benchmark — for Ruffer, the total net return compared to the return on cash, for Investec to an investment sector benchmark. The Ruffer part of the portfolio achieved a total return net of fees of 20.3% compared to a benchmark of 0.2%. The Investec part of the portfolio achieveda total return net of fees of 26.0% compared to a benchmark of 24.8%. Both managers have therefore achieved their objective in the current year.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the trustees to spend the income of the general fund on charitable grants so as to keep the balance on the general fund close to zero. Donations and investment gains and losses go into the designated investment fund which the trustees use to generate income. The trustees have the discretion to transfer funds from the designated to the general fund to enable them to make additional grant payments should they choose to do so.
Plansfor thefuture
The trustees intend to continue to seek to maximise returns from investments with a balance between income and capital growth. The investment of capital and unsolicited donations are the only sources of ongoing income, and funds are invested with the object of ensuring that the capital fund retains its approximate real value in the medium term.
Remuneration of the trustees
The trustees do not receive any remuneration for their services, but may receive reasonable reimbursement of costs incurred on trust business. All trustees have waived any reimbursement of costs for the period.
Risk management
The trustees have reviewed the risks to which they consider the trust to be susceptible.
To date these have mainly related to investment management and these have been ameliorated by diversified portfolio management.

THE ARCHER TRUST
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 5 April 2021
- 1 Accounting policies
The Archer Trust is established by a charitable trust deed dated 25 January 1994 and is a registered charity.
- (a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the statement in accordance with the Statement ofRecommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016) and the Charities Act 2011.
The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern.
-
(b) Income recognition Income is recognised once the charity is entitled to it, there is sufficient certainty of receipt, and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Donations are recognised when they have been communicated in writing with notification of both the amount and the settlement date. Legacies are recognised following the grant of probate when the executor or administrator of the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and the settlement date. Interest of funds held on deposit and dividends are recognised when received.
-
(c) Expenditure recognition 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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Grants payable are charged when the trustees decide to make the grant. Costs of generating funds represent investment management fees for the generation of income. Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the objects of the charity.
-
(d) Fixed asset investments Fixed asset investments are initially measured at cost including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date (based upon closing mid-market value at the balance sheet date). Changes in fair value are recognised in the net income/(expenditure) for the year. The main form of risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub-sectors.
The trust does not acquire or use put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
(g) Income funds
-
Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the charity.
-
The trustees have decided that: 1. The general fund receives the income from investments and pays the charitable expenditure on grants and governance costs.
8
THE ARCHER TRUST
-
The designated fund receives the income from donations including tax on gift aided donations, pays the investment management costs, and benefits or suffers from investment gains and losses.
-
(h) Financial instruments
The charity has current financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
2 Transactions with trustees
None of the trustees (or any persons connected with them) received any remuneration or were reimbursed for any expenses in the year (2020: none).
