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, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
## **Objectives and activities**
The objectives of the charity per the Trust Deed are:
- To advance charitable purposes by the making of grants to Registered Charities based in Suffolk and adjacent counties.
- To advance charitable purposes by the making of grants to National Charities having regard to the express wishes of Mrs Tranmer during her lifetime.
- The advancement of education and historical research relating to the national monument known as the Sutton Hoo burial site and the Sutton Hoo estate.
- To protect and preserve for the benefit of the public the Sutton Hoo burial site and such other features of the Sutton Hoo estate as are of special interest;
- To further the education of children and young persons in the County of Suffolk. To educate and assist young persons through their leisure time activities so to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and their conditions of life may be improved; and
- Generally, for such good purposes or objects which are from time to time recognised as exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.
## _Public benefit_
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
## _Grant making policy_
The charity receives applications for funding from institutions and individuals. The trustees review the applications against the objectives of the charity before deciding whether or not to authorise the application and make the grant.
## **Achievements and performance**
## _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_
The charity continues to consider its main achievements to be the ongoing granting of funds to appropriate institutions and individuals.
## **Financial review**
The trustees made grants totalling £124,087 during the year ended 5 April 2026 (2025: £143,180), all in accordance with the Trust’s charitable objectives. The trustees consider that the grants made in the year have met with the ongoing charitable objectives of the Trust.
The charity received investment income of £167,095 (2025: £1154,755). £124,087 (2025: £143,180) was spent on grants and £18,727 (2025: £18,217) to cover support costs, of which £9,167 (2025: £8,015) was for governance costs. Investment management fees were £27,357 (2025: £25,213), resulting in, overall, net expenditure of £3,076 (2025: £31,855), before net gain on investment assets of £834,063 (2025: loss of £127,374)
At 5 April 2026 the market value of the Trust’s investments was £4,532,876 (2025: £3,726,771) giving a net increase in the year of £806,105 (2025: net decrease of £154,769). After the net expenditure of £3,076 (2025: £31,855) referred to above, there was a net increase in funds of £830,987 (2025: net decrease in funds of £159,229).

## **THE ANNIE TRANMER CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2026**_
## _Reserves policy_
It is the trustees' aim to maintain reserves in real terms so as to produce an income from investments sufficient to continue to fund grant awards at the current annual level. The Trustees consider that this current level of reserves of £4,606,446 (2025: £3,775,459) is sufficient for this purpose in normal economic conditions.
## _Investment policy_
Trustees are governed by the Deed of Appointment which permits any investment comprised in the Trust fund to be held in the name of any clearing bank and trust corporation of any stockbroking company, which is a member of the Stock Exchange (or subsidiary of such a stockbroking company) as nominee for the Trustees and to pay any such nominee reasonable and proper remuneration for acting as such.
The charity aims to maintain investment income at constant levels to allow a similar level of grant funding year after year. In the year this was achieved with investment income of £167,095 (2025: £154,755) and a return on the portfolio of 3.7% (2025: 4.2%).
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems are in place to mitigate these risks.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The charity is constituted by a Trust Deed dated 4 April 1989 annexed to the will of Annie Tranmer, which was proved at Ipswich District Probate Registry on 19 May 1994, and a Deed of Appointment dated 15 December 1994. The Charity is registered under the Charities Act 2011 (Registered Charity number 1044231), completing registration on 16 February 1995.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: M E Allen
V A Lewis H Wykes-Sneyd C Bickers S McCallum
## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_
In the event of Trustees needing to make an appointment of a new trustee they would seek to appoint a member of the legal or medical professions, or a suitable lay person. The trustees consider that as most of the funds distributed are to other charities and local authority bodies this experience would be appropriate.
The trustees determine the general policy of the charity. Decisions made by Trustees are on a unanimous basis.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **THE ANNIE TRANMER CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ANNIE TRANMER CHARITABLE TRUST**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Annie Tranmer Charitable Trust (the charity) for the year ended 5 April 2026.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **THE ANNIE TRANMER CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2026**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Annie Tranmer Charitable Trust is constituted by a Trust Deed dated 4 April 1989 annexed to the will of Annie Tranmer, which was proved at Ipswich District Probate Registry on 19 May 1994, and a Deed of Appointment dated 15 December 1994. The Charity is registered under the Charities Act 2011 (Registered Charity number 1044231), completing registration on 16 February 1995.
## **1.1 Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the fixed asset investments at their fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
## **1.4 Income**
Income from the investment fund is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
## **1.5 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 support costs. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Support costs, including governance costs, are not attributable to a single activity, these are apportioned between activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

## **THE ANNIE TRANMER CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2026**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.6 Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
## **1.7 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
## **1.8 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 transaction 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 the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Other financial assets**_
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure), except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
## _**Derecognition of financial assets**_
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.9 Taxation**
The trust is not liable to taxation on its income.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
## **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 are 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.
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.
