In accordance with the Trustee Act 2000, as this duty has been delegated, the Trustees have in place a Policy Statement, which is reviewed annually. Rathbones Investment Management confirm adherence to the policies contained in the statement, or provide details of exceptions with explanations.
The Trustees reviewed the policies in May 2024. It was agreed to change the benchmark for the Trust, in light of current and anticipated global market conditions. The Policy Statement was updated and Rathbones Investment Management confirmed adherence to the revised policies. Page 2

THE RED ROSE CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025 NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1 Accounting Policies The Red Rose Charitable Trust is governed by a Settlement Deed dated 18 May 1994 and registered in England and Wales. The principal address is C/o 3 Church Farm Court, Lower Heswall, Wirral, CH60 OEU. Accounting Convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, 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).
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of Going Concern is appropriate and have concluded that charity has adequate resources and reserves to enable it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a concern and thus the Trustees continue to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Charitable Funds
Unrestricted funds of income are available for the general purposes of the charity, to be applied by at the discretion of the trustees to further the charity's objectives, unless the funds have been designated for for other purposes.
Restricted funds arise when income is subject to conditions imposed by the donor, specifying the purpose for which the resources must be used.
Expendable Endowment Funds of capital are held by the charity primarily for income generation, with the. power to convert some of all of the capital into income and spend it at the trustees’ discretion. Monies are invested by the trustees into shareholdings, from which a stream of income is generated. The value of the fund fluctuates in accordance with the investment valuation.
Page 8
THE RED ROSE CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025 NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Valuation of Investments
Investments held in the fund are included at their market value as follows:
-
(a) Listed securities are valued at the mid market value ruling at the accounting date. (b) Listed securities held in foreign currencies have been valued at the mid market value and translated into their sterling equivalents at the rates ruling at the accounting date.
-
(c) Gilts are valued at the mid market value ruling at the balance sheet date and include interest which has accrued up to that date.
Income’
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable that income will be received.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has an unconditional entitlement to the resource.
Income from tax reclaims is included in the SoFA at the same time as the receipt to which they relate. Investment income is recorded net and includes tax deducted only when it is repayable.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised when paid or when there is a legal or constructive obligation for which it is likely than not that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably measured as at the reporting date. A constructive obligation exists where the charity has communicated the commitment to provide funding to the recipient by the reporting date and there are no conditions attached to its payment falling due after the reporting date.
Grants are recognised when the Trustees have made a commitment to the grantee. Where conditions have been imposed on the recipient, grants are recognised during the financial period the grantee has met the conditions.
Provisions for liabilities must be recognised when either the timing or the amount of future expenditure required to settle the obligation is uncertain. These are distinguished separately on the balance sheet. If a transfer of resources is no longer required, provisions are reversed and charged to the SoFA. Amounts included within governance costs are those incurred in relation to the general running of the Charity and support it requires. They are not related to the direct management function. These costs are attributable to both the capital and the income of the fund and are split in accordance with how the expense incurred. They include accountancy and legal fees and the costs of trustee meetings.
Other recognised Gains and Losses Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost and are charged or credited to the Statement Of Financial Activities in the year of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the Balance Sheet date.
Page 9
THE RED ROSE CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025 NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Support Costs and Employee Benefits The Charity has no employees. All support costs are paid from Unrestricted Funds.
Taxation
The charity is not liable to income or capital gains tax on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the asset cost or the expense to which it relates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Financial Instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classed as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Cancellation of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Page 10
THE RED ROSE CHARITABLE TRUST ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025 NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
|
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
