CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The chairman presents his statement for the year.

The financial year end of 31 March 2021 came at the time when the anti-coronavirus vaccine in the UK was beginning to roll out, with increasingly apparent efficacy. After a full year of furlough, lockdown and hardship there was a renewed sense of hope in the community.

The preceding twelve months witnessed significant adjustments for Foundation Derbyshire; the way that we conduct our business, major swings in our endowments’ values, the type of applications seeking our help; all of these made for a notable year for the Foundation.

However, the most significant challenge for the Foundation was the request from the National Emergencies Trust (NET) that we should be responsible, on their behalf, for the distribution of £1.2 million of emergency support to a range of organisations across the county.

As was the case for all manner of institutions last year, the requirement to be physically distanced from one another meant that the Trustees were unable to meet in person. A new world of Zoom transformed the way we work and had the unintended but positive effect of increasing the regular contact between us all.

The task of distributing the NET monies may have been considered a mountainous challenge. However, without exception the staff of the Foundation and the Board Trustees stepped up to the task, with weekly Zoom meetings taking place over a period of six months. I am forever grateful to the Trustees for their commitment to the Foundation during this time, but most particularly to Sarah Stainthorpe who worked so diligently to enable the weekly sessions to happen with the ensuing allocation of funds to the worthy recipients.

Whilst we were offering so much NET support to so many during the year, the quantity of regular applicants to the Foundation reduced, and it remains reduced at the year end. This is easily explainable, as many of the smaller community groups that we help were curtailed and retrenching during the pandemic.

Financial markets swung dramatically during the calendar year 2020/21. The value of our balance sheet had fallen as a result of the pandemic to £6.6million at 31st March 2020, but I am pleased to say that this figure recovered to a new high of £8.1 million by the year end, and this growth has continued thus far during this current year.

I firmly believe that Foundation Derbyshire had a good year in 2020/21, maintaining the achievement of its principal stated aims: That is, to donate in excess of £350,000 in regular grants annually, and to increase the Foundation’s profile as a trusted philanthropic advisor within the County of Derbyshire. We have been fortunate to receive new funds, in the form of generous donations or in the transfer of legacies and trusts, to the value of £435,000.

I am exceedingly pleased to report of the groundbreaking transfer of charitable assets, from Derbyshire County Council. This transfer, undertaken as part of the Charity Commission’s Revitalising Trusts Initiative, will amount to a value in excess of £1million. It is a slow and thorough process involving monetary and property assets; a process which we expect to complete during the financial year 2021/22. When complete, the Foundation’s balance sheet will see a significant increase in value, and will enable us to distribute even more regular grant aid in support of education across the County. We are immensely grateful to Barry Lewis and his team at Derbyshire County Council for the faith that they have shown in our organisation.

Also, I would like to express gratitude for the recent transfer to the Foundation of a pre-existing Sitwell Trust of Renishaw by its Trustees. This trust had become unwieldy, but, administered as part of the Foundation’s endowment assets the Trust’s proceeds are now to be used as an educational bursary in conjunction with the University of Derby. None of this would have been possible without the support and input of Mrs Alexandra Hayward at Renishaw, and of the Vice Chancellor Prof Kathryn Mitchell, Prof Keith McLay and their respective teams at the University.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Because of the restrictions placed on all our lives, we have been unable to host events of a social nature. Drinks receptions, golf days, garden tours, Christmas wine tastings... all these events have been curtailed for the time being. However, our Friends scheme continues and I am delighted that so many individuals throughout the County continue to support us.

We are always pleased to receive support and friendship from the county’s High Sheriff. Lord Burlington’s support of Foundation Derbyshire was quite wonderful. He held events at Chatsworth in our name, and most significantly undertook an incredible 208 mile bicycle ride round the county in one day (together with biking colleagues), which raised £51,000 for the Foundation’s endowment. I cannot thank William enough for all that he did for us in his Shrieval year. To work alongside him brought the greatest pleasure to the Foundation team.

Ed Burkes, the eighth winner of our biennial Jonathan Vickers Fine Art Award, overcame the challenges of his residency in lockdown to create a bold collection of work. This was exhibited at both the Derby Museum & Art Gallery in the autumn, and at the Mall Galleries in London in the summer. I would like to recognise all those on the Vickers Committee for the commitment that they gave to this perennially exciting project.

We have gained a new Trustee since our last Annual Report, Gurmail Raju who hails from Derby. We welcome Gurmail and look forward to working with him. We have lost David Ball as a Trustee, and we thank him for his past, and continuing, support of the Foundation.

As ever, the contribution of all Trustees has been fantastic. I would like to single out the work of Alison Williams and Jane Gerard-Pearse who have put an enormous amount of time into reworking our communication and media methods, together with our imagery.

In closing, I take this opportunity of thanking everyone who plays a part at Foundation Derbyshire, remembering the Executive team, the Finance Committee chaired by William Kerr, the Board of Trustees, and the volunteer members of the Grantmaking Panels. I especially thank Rachael Grime for her tireless work and executive leadership at Foundation Derbyshire, which all of the Trustees appreciate greatly.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the charitable company for the 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the charitable company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

Derbyshire Community Foundation (operating as Foundation Derbyshire) (“the Foundation”) is an independent Derbyshire based registered charity. Our vision is to see a culture of giving at the heart of life in Derbyshire, helping to create a county where communities are strong, civil society is valued and all individuals have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and be treated fairly and with respect.

The charitable objects of the Foundation, as defined in its Memorandum and Articles of Association are to support or promote exclusively charitable purposes which in the opinion of Trustees are beneficial to the community, with a preference for those in Derbyshire.

When reviewing the Foundation’s charitable objectives and deciding what activities the Foundation should undertake, the Trustees give due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance “Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)".

The Trustees are satisfied that these objects meet the appropriate charitable purposes as defined by the Charities Act 2016. Given that public benefit is an intrinsic part of the Foundation’s objectives and activities, additional information on its delivery is provided throughout the body of this report.

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

The strategies for achieving our objectives are:

Objectives and activities (continued)

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The main activities undertaken to deliver our objectives of building endowment and growing philanthropy are to provide donors with:

By linking local donors with local needs in this way, we are able to deliver public benefit in a sustainable way, by addressing both the problems of today and the issues facing future generations.

The Foundation has also continued to augment its grantmaking activity and impact by distributing funds on behalf of companies, individuals and other charities, through a variety of grant making programmes.

Our other objective focuses on grant making as our bridge between the people who care about the local community and the wide range of groups and individuals that need their help. Our donors and funders enable us to bring about this change, by entrusting us with the management and/or distribution of their funds and our strategy for maintaining and strengthening this “bridge” is continually to ensure that our grants:

Achievements and performance (continued)

b. Review of activities

2020 was defined by the Coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the Foundation and the communities that we serve.

By April 2020, we had already launched our Coronavirus Response Fund and raised £130k from existing donors and Derbyshire County Council.

We had also started distributing funds on behalf of the newly formed National Emergencies Trust (“NET”), alongside the national network of community foundations.

Little did we know at that point that we would go on to distribute an unprecedented £1.2 million of grants over the next 6 months, providing vital financial support to the community groups and organisations that were beginning to see (and to meet) overwhelming increases in demand for their services and were moving quickly, effectively and creatively to help those made most vulnerable by lockdown:

Derbyshire’s voluntary and community sector responded quickly and effectively at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. Services were adapted overnight, new partnerships were established to get things done and people worked above and beyond, often putting themselves at risk, to help those most vulnerable.

It was vital that funding for the sector was similarly responsive and Foundation Derbyshire worked hard to ensure that grants were distributed as soon as possible into our communities. The graph (below) plots our receipt of Coronavirus funding (in blue) against the Coronavirus grants that we awarded (in orange) between April and September, 2020.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

In September, Lord Burlington took advantage of the brief respite between the first and second lock-downs to complete his epic 208 mile cycle ride around Derbyshire in support of Foundation Derbyshire. Originally due to take place at the end of March 2020, Ride Around Derbyshire was unfortunately postponed due to the Coronavirus Lockdown but Lord Burlington, alongside his fellow riders Leigh Timmis, Alison Fovargue, Michael Kirkland, Paul Gibson and Andy Hooton, completed the Herculean challenge on 12th September, 2020 and raised over £51,000 for the Foundation’s endowment.

During the year, Ed Burkes, the eighth winner of our Jonathan Vickers Fine Art Award, overcame the challenges of being a visiting artist in lockdown to create ‘Dandelion’, a bold and exciting collection of paintings in response to his time in Derbyshire that reflects our county back at us with references to both our traditions and our everyday.

Although lockdown meant that certain elements of the residency, including the community outreach project, could not be completed, Ed was able to undertake his teaching fellowship at the University of Derby’s College of Arts and worked closely with Derby Museums on the curation of the Dandelion exhibition.

The Jonathan Vickers Fine Art Award has developed in to one of the most valuable art prizes in the country, with each resident artist enhancing and enriching the cultural life of Derbyshire with the unique body of work that they create.

Key to our success are the invaluable partnerships that evolve and strengthen with each residency and this time we were delighted to announce an exciting new collaboration with Mall Galleries, whereby past exhibitors of the Federation of British Artist’s Futures Award (the UK’s largest annual survey of emerging figurative art), were invited to be considered for the Vickers residency.

In addition to introducing us to Ed Burkes, this initiative has also enabled us to include an exhibition at London’s Mall Galleries, as part of the Award. Due to Covid restrictions the London exhibition was delayed until July, 2021.

As ever, we thank Peter Ashworth and John Nicholson, Trustees of the Jonathan Vickers Charitable Trust, whose vision and generosity made the Award a reality.

We are also extremely grateful to the members of our Award Committee and to our Partners, Derby Museums, the University of Derby, Rolls-Royce plc and Mall Galleries for their ongoing support.

Achievements and performance (continued)

c. Grantmaking

The essence of the Foundation’s activity is to provide public benefit for the residents of Derbyshire and Derby City, through the provision of grant funding. In 2020/21, £1.62 million of funds were distributed throughout Derbyshire, bringing the total value of grants made by the Foundation, since its establishment in 1996, to over £17.5 million.

The total value of grants made during the year of £1.62 million was £1.27 million higher than last year’s total of £351k. This was due to the Coronavirus Response funding that was distributed during the year.

£260k (2019/20: £273k) of grants were distributed from the Foundation’s portfolio of named endowment funds.

Of the 321 grants awarded during the year, 95 grants (totalling £1.22 million) were in excess of £7,000, reflecting the nature of the emergency Coronavirus Response funding programme.

Derby City (which accounts for c. 25% of the county’s population) received 32% of the Foundation’s grantmaking (2019/20: 43%), in part a reflection of the grants awarded from the Foundation’s largest Fund, the Tom Carey Fund (established for the benefit of the Abbey Ward area of the city). The remaining 68% was distributed across all eight Derbyshire districts, with High Peak and Derbyshire Dales taking the highest proportions at 14% and 10% respectively of total grantmaking.

In terms of grantmaking distribution by “need” rather than “geography”, as can be seen from the below chart, 21.4% of the Foundation’s funding went to areas of the county that fall within the ‘Most Deprived 10%’ areas of England.

Page 9

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

Our grantmaking is made possible by the generosity of local people, corporates, funders and charitable trusts who recognise the fantastic and invaluable work that is being done at a grassroots level and use our expertise and local knowledge to invest in their local communities and reach those groups that need their help the most.

There are now 65 endowed funds under Foundation Derbyshire’s management and a further 5, which we administer on a “flow through” basis (i.e. held and spent within a specific period, rather than invested for the long term) on behalf of both businesses and individual donors.

There are an estimated 3,700 voluntary and community organisations operating across Derbyshire, including formally registered organisations, such as charities, social enterprises and co-operatives, and a large number of 'below the radar' organisations that are not formally registered or incorporated. Nationally, approximately 50% of organisations are micro in size (annual income under £10,000) but receive only 1% of national voluntary sector income and it is therefore at this grassroots level where the Foundation’s grantmaking can and does make a real difference across Derbyshire.

Our named endowed funds support a wide and diverse range of issues and activities, from supporting carers, survivors of domestic abuse and isolated elderly residents to providing the people of Derbyshire with access to music, sport, advice, childcare, transport, counselling and a host of other services.

Smaller donations and gifts from donors that do not want to establish a separate named fund, are held within our General Fund. This Fund has no specific priorities and therefore has the flexibility to respond to emerging issues and fund activities that might not meet the criteria of our donor directed funds.

Funding surgeries held across the City and County continue to be a key and effective way of communicating the availability of grants and how to apply for them to potential recipients. Despite the pandemic, during 2020/21 seven community outreach events were organised or attended, including funding surgeries, workshops and presentations for other infrastructure organisations.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

d. Volunteers

The Foundation aims to maximise the quality of public benefit delivered by involving members of the public in our grant making decisions. The Foundation has recruited a number of grant advisors (volunteers who live in their panel area and are involved in and have a strong understanding of the voluntary and community sector) as members of the Foundation’s grants committee, to attend meetings and advise on our grant making policy.

This helps us to ensure that funding is directed where it is most needed and that all bids are considered in accordance with both the Foundation’s constitutional objectives and the criteria of our funders and donors.

The Foundation also manages a number of fund specific panels. All of our Panels continued to meet virtually throughout the year and the Board thanks all Panel members for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Foundation, during a very challenging time.

e. UKCF

We continue our membership of the national body for community foundations, UKCF, which continues to lobby at a national government and corporate level, in order to promote the capabilities of our national network. UKCF were instrumental in co-ordinating the delivery of £68 million of NET Coronavirus funding by community foundations during the pandemic. Preparatory work began during the year for UKCF’s fifth round of Quality Accreditation, which we have successfully held since it was established in 2009.

f. Fund development activity

The Foundation is committed to its role as a trusted philanthropic adviser and therefore focus continued throughout the year on strengthening and developing the service that we offer to our existing donors, to ensure that their experience of giving through the Foundation is rewarding.

Enabling donors to see, first hand, the impact that their philanthropy is having in their local communities is a highly important aspect of this work. Unfortunately, the pandemic meant that our “Seeing is Believing” visits were suspended this year but we continued to provide case studies and monitoring feedback to donor panels, and produce donor-specific newsletters, all of which continued to be both popular and inspiring.

Social Media continues to play an increasingly important role in communicating the work of the Foundation to both recipients and donors. Around 1,000 subscribers now receive our quarterly e-newsletter and we have over 2,380 followers on Twitter and 590 Facebook followers.

Work also began on a new Foundation Derbyshire website (which will launch in 2021), alongside a new marketing and communications strategy, part of which is focused on developing our digital technology and social media platforms to raise awareness and profile of the work that we do.

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Financial review

a. Going concern

The Trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the charity's income, operating cost base and investment portfolios. They have prepared forecasts of income and expenditure to 31 March 2023 and subjected these to sensitivity analysis. These show they have sufficient reserves and cash to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

The reserves policy was revised in 2007 to reflect a target level of a minimum of four months running costs equating to £74,160. This revision reflected the increased timescales and potential costs of winding down the much larger organisation. Free reserves as at 31 March 2021 were £79,088 (2020: £6,643).

c. Results for the year

Unrestricted Funds

Management fee income of £99.3k was £91k higher than 2019/20 (at £8.3k). This was primarily due to fee income earned distributing National Emergencies Trust Coronavirus Funding during the year.

£7.3k of unrestricted donations during the year and net administration fees of £139k from endowed funds resulted in an operating surplus of £77.2k. This left unrestricted reserves at £169.4k as at 31st March 2021 (31st March, 2020: £92.2k).

Restricted Funds

Restricted income of £1.34 million and restricted expenditure of £1.64 million, reflect the Coronavirus Response funding received and distributed during the year.

Balances unspent at 31 March 2021 amounted to £604k, £24k lower than balances at 31 March 2020.

The remaining restricted fund balance relates to funds which have not fully distributed their grant making capacity and will be available for grant distribution during 2021/22.

Endowment Fund

Strong market performance throughout 2021 resulted in the Foundation’s investments returning an unrealised gain for the year of £1,373k (2019/20: £698k loss). These gains, combined with investment income (interest, dividends and rental income) of £196k during the year, were more than enough to cover endowment expenses (investment management costs and expenses relating to our investment property) of £54k and £367k of distributions (relating to transfers under the Foundation’s Total Return Policy) and resulted in a £1,582k increase in endowed funds during the year to £7.99 million.

Page 13

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

d. Investments policy

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, Derbyshire Community Foundation has the power to invest any funds not immediately required for the furtherance of its objects in such investments, securities or property as may be thought fit.

The investment objectives remain as:-

The Trustees have delegated their investment powers to appointed investment managers (currently Rathbones and Cazenove Capital Management) on a discretionary basis. In addition, the Office for Civil Society requires that CCLA manage a small portion of the Foundation’s endowment (£693k as at 31st March, 2021) under the Community First programme.

The investment manager is responsible for carrying out all day-to-day investment decisions including acquisition and realisation of investments. The investment manager is required to exercise the power to give effect to the principles as contained in the Foundation’s Investment Policy and, in particular, must have regard to the need for diversification and suitability of investments selected.

Whilst the Trustees are not involved in the day-to-day operation of the investment portfolio and do not directly influence attainment of a performance target, they assess performance quarterly.

In addition, the appointment of investment managers is reviewed at least every five years by the Trustees.

Investment policy remains to secure a balance between income and capital growth, with a minimum requirement of a 6% total return to support our agreed spending policy.

As at 30 September 2021 the value of the Foundation’s investment portfolio was £8,085k (as at the balance sheet date of 31 March 2021: £7,580k).

e. Principal risks and uncertainties

The Foundation has developed a Risk Management Register that details the risks to which the charity is exposed in the key areas of governance, finance, personnel, grant making, donor services, management, environment and premises.

Along with the potential impact of those risks, the probability of them occurring and the mitigating action required is also outlined, to assist with:

Major risks to which the Foundation is currently exposed and systems or procedures established to manage those risks are:

  1. Loss of revenue / discontinuation of major donation(s):

  2. The Foundation’s strategic planning process is on a three year rolling basis and donor care and development is a key element of this process. In addition, the Finance Committee monitors investment performance and reviews appropriateness of Total Return Policy distribution levels on an ongoing basis. Budgets are established at the beginning of each financial year and reviewed quarterly by the Finance Committee, along with cash flow and P&L performance.

  3. Stock Market volatility and/or poor performance:

  4. The Foundation utilises the services of three investment managers (including CCLA who manage the Community First endowment) in order to mitigate poor investment management performance and monitors their performance closely (including face to face meetings every 6 months). In addition, the appropriateness of distribution levels is reviewed alongside investment performance information.

  5. Inadequate planning/forecasting:

An annual Board/Senior Management Strategy session ensures that both staff and Trustees are involved in setting targets and that these are not only relevant but that an appropriate balance between realistic and challenging is maintained.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The charitable company is limited by guarantee without having a share capital and the liability of the members is limited to £1 each. The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a registered charity.

b. Methods of appointment or election of trustees

As of the 2010 AGM, at which amendments to the Articles of Association were approved, Trustees serve for a four year term. Trustees must retire at the AGM following their completion of four years’ service, but may stand for re-election, subject to a maximum of three consecutive four-year terms.

To ensure that board transparency and effectiveness are not compromised, re-election is subject to satisfactory performance and the achievement of minimum performance standards.

The Board has the power at any time to appoint any person to be a Trustee, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Trustees, subject to the total number of Trustees at any time not exceeding sixteen. Any Trustee appointed holds office only until the next following AGM, and then becomes eligible for re election.

New Trustees are found from the contacts and networks of existing Trustees. The Board regularly undertakes skills audits, in order to identify skills gaps amongst existing Trustees and to enable it to seek new Trustees with the skills and experience to fill these gaps.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The Board of Trustees administers the charity. The Board meets quarterly and there are sub-committees covering Finance and Grant Making. As part of an initiative to increase Board Engagement, the decision was taken during 2018/19 to temporarily amalgamate the Fund and Board Development Committee meetings with full Board meetings.

The Chief Executive is appointed by the Trustees and manages the day to day operations of the charity, working within terms of delegation, approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment, fund development and grant making related activities.

d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees

New Trustees attend an induction meeting, at which they are briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committees and decision making processes, the business plan, staffing structure and recent financial performance of the charity.

Structure, governance and management (continued)

e. Governance and management

The Board of Trustees plays an important part in fulfilling the Foundation’s purpose and vision. Our goal continues to be that we maximise public benefit by ensuring that we:

A Board skills audit is conducted on a regular basis and is used to inform the Trustee recruitment process. Work continued during the year to recruit new Trustees that have the skills and expertise required for the future growth and development of the Foundation and that are reflective of the communities that we serve.

The Foundation now employs a core staff of four part time employees (2.0 FTE) and continues to manage a significant grants budget and increasing number of named endowment funds. To enable us to maintain our efficiency and probity, ongoing work on our infrastructure, including policies, operational standards and management practice, therefore continued as an ongoing priority.

Remuneration of key management personnel is reviewed on an annual basis by the Foundation’s Finance Committee and their recommendations are then submitted to the Board for approval.

f. Employees

The Trustees would like to formally express their appreciation to all employees, together with the members of the various grant making panels for their contribution to another successful year.

g. Trustees

The Trustees who have held office during the year are listed on page 1.

The Board welcomes Jane Gerard Pearse and Gurmail Raju, both of whom were co-opted during the year. Jane Gerard Pearse was formally appointed at the AGM in December 2020 and Gurmail Raju will be formally appointed at the 2021 AGM.

The Board thanks all members for their contribution to another successful year for Derbyshire Community Foundation.

Due to lockdown restrictions, the only fundraising activity undertaken during the year was the Coronavirus Emergency Response Appeal, which was organised by Foundation Derbyshire staff.

The Foundation does not use professional fund-raisers or commercial participators to carry out fundraising activities on its behalf and does not use direct marketing, telephone, doorstep or on-street fundraising.

Some fundraising was done for the Foundation by third parties, for example Lord Burlington’s Ride Around Derbyshire campaign and David Palmer’s Retirement collection via Just Giving.

In addition, the Foundation used its e-newsletter to raise awareness of its Coronavirus Response Appeal and Lord Burlington’s Ride Around Derbyshire Campaign.

The charity was not subject to an undertaking to be bound by a voluntary scheme for regulating fund-raising, or voluntary standard for fund-raising in respect if its activities but did sign up to the Fundraising Regulator in May 2021.

The Foundation has developed a Donor Care policy that sets out the practices and commitment we make to all of our supporters, as part of our fundraising ethos and working practice.

Plans for future periods

A new three year strategic plan, to take the organisation through to 2024, was the focus of several Trustee Strategic planning sessions with senior staff during the final quarter of the financial year.

The plan focuses on the delivery of our two key objectives, namely to:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Disclosure of information to auditor

So far as the trustees are aware:

Auditor

The auditor, BHP LLP, has indicated their willingness to continue in office. The designated trustees will propose a motion reappointing the auditor at a meeting of the trustees.

Approved by order of the members of the board of trustees and signed on their behalf by:

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Derbyshire Community Foundation (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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 Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charitable company'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 responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

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 are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 21

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 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 are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and the sector in which it operates, and considered the risk of such regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk. We focused on laws and regulations relevant to the charitable company which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our testing included discussions with management, trustees, and those staff with direct responsibility for the compliance of laws and regulations. We also reviewed legal expenses. We addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including the testing of journals and review of the nominal ledger. We evaluated whether there was evidence of bias by management or the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standardsand-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 charitable company and its members, 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 31 MARCH 2021

1. General information

The charitable company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charitable company.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Derbyshire Community Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity, and rounded to the nearest £1.

2.2 Going concern

The Trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the charity's income, operating cost base and investment portfolios. They have prepared forecasts of income and expenditure to 31 March 2023 and subjected these to sensitivity analysis. These show they have sufficient reserves and cash to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Page 28

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the charitable company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the charitable company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charitable company, can be reliably measured.

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Interest and dividends are included in the financial statements on an accruals basis. Tax recoverable on the above is accounted for on a receivable basis.

Investment income is allocated to restricted or unrestricted funds by reference to the nature of the underlying funds generating the income.

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking the voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charitable company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are recognised as expenditure when the commitment is made.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Taxation

The charitable company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charitable company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property - no depreciation (see note below)
Office equipment - 20% straight line
Computer equipment - 20% straight line

No depreciation has been charged on freehold property as in the view of the Trustees, based on the estimated residual value and a useful economical life of 25 years, annual depreciation charge would be immaterial.

DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Heritage assets

Artwork is capitalised at its value on donation or insurance valuation. No depreciation is provided as the residual value is considered to be at least equal to the valuation. Any excess of market value (i.e. insurance value) over the value on donation is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities.

Heritage assets are reviewed for evidence of impairment annually and no provision had been made in either year. In the view of the trustees, this is reasonable when considering the condition of the artwork and its potential for resale and/ or generating income.

2.8 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.9 Investment property

The investment property is carried at market value and the valuation is reviewed at the end of each reporting period by Trustees using rental yield calculations and comparing these against commercial rates. Where there is deemed to be a material change to the valuation, a professional valuer is appointed. Where the excess of market value is less than original cost the resultant deficit is taken to the endowment fund.

2.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.11 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.12 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.13 Financial instruments

The charitable company only has 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 their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.14 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.15 Pensions

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charitable company to the fund in respect of the year.

2.16 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Endowment funds represent those assets which are expendable by the charity. Income arising on the endowment funds is included as endowment income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charitable company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

2.17 Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The charitable company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

The following assumptions have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year.

Valuation of non-investment and investment property - these valuations are subject to a number of judgements which include, but are not limited to, local area assessments, market conditions and state of repair of the property.

Valuation of heritage assets - these valuations are subject to judgements made by insurers and these may change over time with changes to the artwork market. Impairment reviews consider recent exhibitions and the active market for which data may not be readily available.

Allocation of investment income, management costs and gains/ losses - these are allocated to funds by reference to the nature of the underlying funds which generated the income, incurred the costs or made the gain/ loss. Any misallocation could result in a material misstatement of fund balances and impact free reserves reported in these financial statements.
