THE ARCHER TRUST
Annual report of the trustees for the year ended 5 April 2023
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note | to the accounts and comply with the trust’s deed, the Charities Act 201] 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.
Ronnie and Catherine Archer
The Archer Trust was set up in 1994 in memory of Ronnie Archer, who rose through the ranks of Unilever to become Vice-Chairman. Throughout his life he and his wife Catherine applied his surplus earnings for the support of good causes. He provided the money; Catherine researched the beneficiaries.
Ronnie's early death did not bring this fruitful partnership to an end. Catherine set up the Archer Trust in 1994 and gave it initial funding from Ronnie's estate. As well as being a trustee, Catherine acted as the Trust's secretary and, from the company's generous widow's pension, made further gifts every year from the date of its foundation. She was a pillar of her local church and community, passionate about education and the disadvantaged, a loving mother who was keen to keep her wider family in touch with each other, and in times past a fine magistrate and an enthusiastic horsewoman. Her service to the Trust involved, among other things, consideration of all applications, correspondence with many of the applicants and visiting a number of the charities chosen for support. Her sudden death in November 2021, at the age of 87 but at a time when, though frail, she was living a full social life, was unexpected, and a blow to the Trust. Generous provision in her will, however, demonstrates her wish that it should continue its work unabated, which it will.
It is hoped that the Archer Trust will be a fitting memorial to a talented but modest couple.
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 |.
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 decd. 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 of trustees’ 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;
2
THE ARCHER TRUST
-
c)} state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, subjcct 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.
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 asscts 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 as set out in its constitution 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 www.archertrust.org.uk. Any applications for grants should be made in writing to the trust's registered address as shown on page 1.
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 £358,500 (2022: £263,350) 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 £305,000 from designated to general funds to cnable them to maintain and increase the level of grants being paid out.
Financial review
The death of Catherine Archer means that the Trust no longer receives donations from her each year which have made up the vast majority of the Trust’s donation income, In addition to the £1,300,000 assumed in the 2022 accounts, a further £1,282,474 was reccived from the estate in 2023 in a mixture of cash and transferred shares. It is likely that a final small sum will be paid from the estate in the second half of 2023 but this will not be material in the context of the trust’s finances.
The investment performance during the year, a reduction in value of £180,747 (2022: increase £96,166), is disappointing. The trustees have appointed two different investment managers, Rougher LLP and Investec Wealth & Investment Limited, who take significantly different approaches, to manage approximately half each of the trust’s 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. The Ruffer portfolio tends to underperform the market during a bull market

THE ARCHER TRUST
and then do spectacularly well at a time of dislocation. The Ruffer portfolio performed better than the Investec portfolio during the year ended 31 March 2023.
The reserves of the trust have increased by £783,922 (2022: increase £1,155,439) during the year to £4,185,477 (2022: £3,401,556).
At 5 April 2023 the trust’s investments were valued at £2,537,125 (2022: £1,946,716). 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 (0.8%) compared to a benchmark of 2.3%. The Investec part ofthe portfolio achicved a total return net of fees of(7.4%) compared to a benchmark of (3.4%). Neither has therefore achieved its objective for the year although Ruffer performed better.
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 gencral 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
Given the increased level of reserves the trustees have decided to increase the value of grants awarded, recognising that this will not be sustainable in the long term. 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 (after disposals necessary to fund an increased level of grants).
Remuneration ofthe 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 Independent Auditor’s Report to the trustees of The Archer Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Archer Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 05 April 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance shect, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ircland (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 05 April 2023 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 Trust 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 Trust’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 responsibilitics and the responsibilities of the Trustees of the Trust 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 of the Trust 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.

.
THE ARCHER TRUST
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.
Responsibilities of Trustees of the Trust
As explained more fully in the statement of the Trust’s responsibilities, the Trustees of the Trust 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 of the Trust 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 of the Trust are responsible for assessing the Trust’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 of the Trust cither 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.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
e the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
-
¢ we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through communications with Trustees of the Trust and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the sector; and
-
e we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Charities Act 2011 and taxation and employment legislation; and
-
e we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; and
-
e identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
6
, THE ARCHER TRUST
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to matcrial misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
e making enquirics of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
¢ considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
- e performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; and e tested journal entrics to identify unusual transactions; and e investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularitics and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
- e agrecing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; and ¢ enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and e reading the minutes of meetings of the board of trustees; and e enquiring of management as to income duc to censure income was reported in the correct period.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the members and management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www. fre.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
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 auditor’s 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.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 5 April 2023
1 Accounting policies The Archer Trust is established by a charitable trus( 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 (o these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with (he Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ircland (FRS 102) (as amended for accounting periods commencing from | January 2016) and the Charities Act 2011,
The trust constitules 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. Alf expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Grants payable are charged when the trustees decide to make the grant. Costs of gencrating funds represent investment management fees for the gencration 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 valuc at cach reporting date (bascd upon closing mid-market value at the balance sheet date). Changes in fair valuc 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 duc 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 docs 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:
-
The general fund reccives the income from investments and pays the charitable expenditure on grants and governance costs.
10
.
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 liabilitics 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 Legacy income and receivable
A Icgacy is receivable from Mrs Catherine Archer, who diced during the previous financial year. Probate was granted on her estate in 2002 and to date £2,582,874 has been received. It is likely that further distributions will be reccived, but these amounts are not yet quantified.
