## THE ROSALIND HICKS CHARITABLE TRUST 

## TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025 nnvra The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the period 1 March 2024 to 28 February 20285. 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## a. POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES 

The Charity’s core Objects, as set out in its Deed of Trust, are that of making donations to charitable institutions. 

## b. GRANT-MAKING POLICIES 

The Charity concentrates on supporting a limited number of charitable bodies and developing a continuing relationship with them. In 2022 it agreed to make an annual grant of £40,000 to Paignton Picture House Trust (registered charity number 1157934). This was paid annually for 3 years subject to them providing regular reports on the utilisation of such grants and progress on the restoration of the picture house. The Charity also makes smaller periodic grants to the International Agatha Christie Festival (charity number 1165573) and to Churston Parochial Church Council. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

## a. MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE CHARITY 

The main purpose of the Charity is to apply the income for the benefit of such charitable bodies or such other charitable purposes as the Trustees shall decide. 

The Charity’s income consists predominantly of investment income, which is distributed to charitable organisations in accordance with the Trust Deed at the discretion of the Trustees after meeting administration and governance costs. 

## b. FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AND INCOME GENERATION 

We do not employ a professional fundraiser. There have been no complaints in the last year about fundraising. The Charity does not approach people for funds, as they are voluntary payments from the public, so it does not affect vulnerable people. 

## c. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE 

There are no restrictions on the Charity’s power to invest. The overall policy if to adopt a medium risk investment strategy based on producing a balance of income and capital growth over the medium term. 

At the year end the Charity’s investment portfolio (including cash held within the portfolio) was valued at £853,563 (2024: £828,064). 

## d. PUBLIC BENEFIT 

In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

The Charity had a surplus of £95,372 for the year (after net gains on investments of £76,914) and the reserves at the end of the year were £977,572. Of these £961,343 related to endowment funds and £16,229 related to unrestricted funds.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025 

## a. GOING CONCERN 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources 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. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. 

## b. RESERVES POLICY 

The Trustees consider that reserves to a minimum value of £600,000 are appropriate to generate sufficient income to meet anticipated grants and future operations. The current level of unrestricted reserves (£4,300 plus future annual royalty income) is not considered appropriate to meet current commitments and expenses. However, Trustees will be able to draw down from the endowment fund as necessary if the royalty income does not cover it's current commitments. 

## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

## a. CONSTITUTION 

The Rosalind Hicks Charitable Trust is a registered charity with the Cahrities Commission in England and Wales. The charity is governed by a Deed of Trust dated 1 March 1995, as amended by a Deed of Variation dated 1 October 1995, and is registered under the Charities Act 2011; Charity Registration Number 1050135. 

## b. METHODS OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES 

Under the terms of the Deed of Trust, the power of appointing new Trustees is vested in the existing Trustees. New trustees are appointed as and when vacancies arise. Prior to appointment a new trustee will be fully acquainted with details of policy, grant making commitments, and financial and investment details and will be provided with a copy of all relevant documentation. 

## c. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## THE ROSALIND HICKS CHARITABLE TRUST 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
:<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


1.1 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 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair' view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The Rosalind Hicks Charitable Trust 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. 

- 1.2 INCOME 

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

Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio. 

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service. 

- 1.3 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 involved in undertaking each activity. 

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. 

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

Support costs have been differentiated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise ail costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include cost related to statutory accounts and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs relating to Trustee Board meetings. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

## THE ROSALIND HICKS CHARITABLE TRUST 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

## 1.3 EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED) 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

- 4.4 TAXATION 

The Charity 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 Charity 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. 

- 1.5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND AMORTISATION 

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 

Intangible fixed assets consist of copyrights as inherited from the estate of the late founder Mrs R M C Hicks. The copyrights have been included at probate value. At the date of assignment to the Charity, the copyrights had a remaining life of 40 years under UK Law. 

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. 

Amortisation is provided on the following basis: 

Copyrights - 40 years 

If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates. The Trustees review this on an annual basis. 

- 1.6 INVESTMENTS 

Fixed asset investments are included in the accounts at market value as at the Statement of Financial Position date. 

All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value of at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

- 1.7 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. 

- 1.8 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.

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

## 1.9 LIABILITIES 

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 Charity 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. 

## 1.10 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 Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

The endowment fund represents an expendable fund. The fund has arisen from capital donations and legacies from the settlors of the Charity. Income arising from the endowment fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the Charity and is included as unrestricted income. 

Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 14.
