These accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025 have been prepared in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Accepted Accounting Practice) and comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP} Accounting and Reporting by Charities FRS102 effective from January 2019. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.
The investment income for the year was £445,689 (2024: £438,122), this represents an increase of £7,567 (2024: decrease of £2,547) to the previous year.
Management and administration expenses and the investment advisor’s fee for the year amounted to £95,599 (2024: £89,284). The value of the investments of the Trust decreased by £1,045,191 (2024: increased by £1,407,513). Of this amount £751,254 (2024: £113,402) related to realised gains and £1,732,091 (2024: £1,252,107 gain) related to unrealised losses, and the overall deficit for the year of £980,837 (2024: £1,365,509 gain) was deducted from the funds brought forward from the previous year. A proportion of the costs incurred during the year were reimbursed by the investment.
Under the Deed of Trust the Trustees are empowered at their absolute discretion to hold and make investments whether authorised by law for investment of trust monies or not.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have conducted a risk assessment; evaluation of risk and the overall risk assessment is reviewed regularly. The nature of the Trust's operations, not having obligations to distribute a certain sum each year, means that it is relatively low-risk, in that it can cope with fluctuations in income without compromising its financial stability.
GOING CONCERN
There are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditer’s Report for the year ended 5 April 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The George Cadbury Trust (George, Henry T and Laurence J Cadbury Section) (the “Charity") for the year ended 5 Aprii 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statement, 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).

-
« have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
« 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 Charity in accardance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the Uk, including the FRC's Ethical Standard and the provisions available for small entities, 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 bases far 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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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.

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of our knowledge obtained in 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 the fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

THE GEORGE CADBURY TRUST (GEORGE, HENRY T AND LAURENCE J CADBURY

Independent Auditor’s Report fer the year ended 5 April 2025 (continued)
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, set out on page 4, the trustees 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 they 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 charity'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 Charity or 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 auditors 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 [SAs (UK) wili 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: 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:
-
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
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and considering available audit information.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries 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:
-
: performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; and
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions.
-
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
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 directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any, Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: fwww.frc.org.uk/auditersresponsibilities]. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
