THE ARCHER TRUST

Annual report of the trustees

for the year ended 5 April 2025

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2025. 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 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.

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 wasa 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 all 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 around June and December 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 separate meetings in spring and autumn a smaller group of trustees considers applications for repeat grants.

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 of trustees’ responsibilities

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which givea 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, 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.

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 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 usually invited to apply again; and the trustees advertise the Trust’s criteria for applications on its website www.archertrust.org.uk.

In January trustees decided to make a grant of £30,000 to St Catherine’s Sacombe to assist with repairs to the church roof and associated works. The Trust does not normally make grants for building or repair work or grants of this size. This is an exception. The grant is made in loving memory of the three Overton sisters, Catherine Archer, the founder of the Archer Trust, Elizabeth (Buzz) Cripwell, and Sarah Baker. Buzz and Sarah both died in 2024. They were all practical people who would, we are sure, have thoroughly approved a grant with a practical purpose rather than a more formal memorial.

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 and performance

Achievements and and performance " During the year, 186 grants totalling £413,750 were made to various registered charities (2024 :£353,000) and the details are given in note 4 to the financial statements. 91 of these grants were to organisations who also received a grant in one or both of the last two financial year. Two grants from previous financial years totalling £4,500 were written back as cheques had not been not presented so net grant payments totalled £409,250. 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 enable them to maintain and increase the level of grants being paid out.

Financial review

The investment performance during the year, a decrease in value of £26,621 (2024: decrease £23,037), is again disappointing. The trustees have appointed two different investment managers, Ruffer LLP and Rathbones (incorporating Investec Wealth & Investment UK), who take significantly different approaches, to manage approximately half each of the trust’s investment portfolio. The Rathbones portfolio is closely aligned to the stock

THE ARCHER TRUST

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 and then do spectacularly well at a time of dislocation. The Rathbones portfolio performed better than the Ruffer portfolio during the year ended 31 March 2025.

The reserves of the trust have reduced by £349,679 (2024: reduction £282,562) during the year to £3,553,236 (2024: £3,902,914).

At 5 April 2025 the trust’s investments were valued at £3,414,720 (2024: £3,500,099).

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 Rathbones to an investment sector benchmark. The Ruffer part ofthe portfolio achieved a total return net of fees of 3.9% compared to a benchmark of 3.5% (2024 return was a reduction of3.7% against a benchmark of (plus) 5%). The Rathbones part of the portfolio achieved a total return net of fees of 6.9% (5.82%) compared to a benchmark of 7.9% (10.3%). Only Ruffer achieved its objective for the year therefore although Rathbones again performed better._

Reserves policy

It is the policy ofthe trustees to spend the income ofthe 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 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

Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 5 April 2025

• 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 of Recommended 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). Investments in equities and fixed interest securities are all traded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value) 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.

8

THE ARCHER TRUST

• (ec) 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 receives the income from investments and pays the charitable expenditure on grants and governance costs.

• 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.

• (f) 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 Legacy income and receivable

A legacy has been received from Mrs Catherine Archer. Probate was granted on her estate in 2022 and to date £2,604,829 has been received. This includes £18,155 received in 2024/25, slightly less than the £20,000 assumed in the 2024 accounts. A small further sum was received after the end of the financial year but no further payment is expected.
