ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. 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 ShareGift (the Charity) 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 (FRS 102). The financial year 2021/22 was ShareGift's twenty-sixth full year of operation.
Since the Charity 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.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees (directors of The Orr Mackintosh Foundation Limited 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, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the Charity for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution and Trustee Appointment
The Orr Mackintosh Foundation Limited is a Company Limited by Guarantee, incorporated on 24 January 1996 (Registered in England No. 03150478) and is also a registered charity (Registered Number 1052686). The liability of each member of the Company is limited to £10 in the event of the Company being wound up.
The Charity was established by Viscountess (Claire) Mackintosh of Halifax and Matthew Orr, with Claire Mackintosh initiating and carrying out the work of ShareGift as its Chief Executive and Matthew Orr joining the Trustee Board. Matthew Orr stood down as a Trustee in 2012. Claire Mackintosh retained the role of Chief Executive until 2014, serving as Company Secretary until 4 January 2021 and continuing as a member of the management team.
The Trustees’ role is to guide and support the Chief Executive and staff of ShareGift as they carry out the Charity’s work. The Trustees are in regular contact with the Chief Executive and other staff, and any significant decisions required to be made are resolved as and when they arise. The Chief Executive produces a bi-monthly update for the Trustees, which includes details of distributions made, meetings held with key stakeholders, business developments and other key milestones. A formal Trustees’ meeting takes place at least twice a year. Further meetings are convened as required and, under The Orr Mackintosh Foundation Limited’s Memorandum & Articles, these may be held remotely using digital technology.
All Trustees are fully aware of ShareGift’s history, purpose, aims, ethos and activities. They are made aware of the issues that the Charity faces, and they understand their role and responsibilities as a Trustee and the commitment to the role expected of them.
New Trustees are recruited through various channels, both for their expertise in the sectors in which ShareGift operates (which include both corporate and philanthropic) and for their wider experience which may be of benefit to the Charity. Upon appointment, new Trustees sign an undertaking to become a Member of the Company for the duration of their term. The formal induction programme comprises meetings both with the Chair and Trustees and with the Chief Executive and team. A pack is supplied which includes accounts for the previous three years, the minutes and papers for the most recent board meeting, the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, and copies of the Charity Commission's guidance 'The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know' and 'Public Benefit: running a charity'.
The Trustees are delighted to have successfully recruited and appointed Michael Kempe to the Trustee Board in January 2022. Michael brings with him a background in the financial markets having been part of the team that launched the then UK and Ireland’s Central Security Depository system (CREST) in 1996 before working extensively on the global harmonisation of asset servicing whilst he was at Euroclear. Michael then spent over 10 years at Capita (now Link Group) Registrars where he was COO before moving to Proxymity as Global Head of Business Development two years ago to help drive better global governance. He has extensive board experience having sat on and Chaired both regulated and non regulated boards during his time at Capita and Link Group, as well as a number of European and Global Working Groups, Governmental and Trade Organisation Committees throughout his career.
The Trustees’ aim is always to balance the benefits of continuity with the need to refresh the Board, and with the provisions of the Charity Governance Code.
Trustees are appointed for an initial period of three years, normally with the opportunity to stand for re-election for one further three-year term. The Board currently has one Trustee, Paul Killik, who as at the financial year end had served for longer than that usual period. The Board is in agreement that on an exceptional basis, Paul’s tenure as Trustee will continue beyond the maximum nine-year period recommended in the Charity Governance Code due to the nature of his position as Co-Founder at Killik & Co, his extensive experience, and
Page 3
THE ORR MACKINTOSH FOUNDATION LIMITED
(A Company Limited by Guarantee, known as ShareGift)
ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
his range of contacts in the broking and wealth management industries, all of which are extremely valuable to ShareGift.
John Roundhill resigned as a Trustee on 12 May 2022, having served eight years. In that time he has contributed considerable expertise and wise counsel to the Board and the Executive Team at ShareGift. Everyone at ShareGift is grateful to John for his dedicated service and support for ShareGift’s mission, and wishes him well for the future.
Susan Swabey plans to step down as Chair and resign as a Trustee in the Spring of 2023, by which time she will have served nine years on ShareGift’s Board of Trustees. Everyone at ShareGift values the calm, approachable and pragmatic manner in which Susan continues to lead the Board and support the Executive Team, and the skilful and effective way that she champions ShareGift’s interests in the Company Secretarial and governance arena.
It is intended that, on Susan’s resignation, current Trustee Gillian Budd will take on the role of Chair of ShareGift’s Board of Trustees. Planning is underway for a smooth transition of responsibilities, and the Board is also in the process of recruiting two new Trustees.
The Board’s composition and skillset is kept under regular review to enable it to perform effectively and to ensure that a balance of relevant skills, knowledge, independence, and experience is maintained.

Risk Management
The Trustees are responsible for identifying the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, reviewing these and ensuring that the Charity establishes and operates appropriate systems and procedures to manage those risks. Accordingly, the Trustees have considered the following:
-
The nature of the risks the Charity faces or may face;
-
The level of risk which they regard as acceptable;
-
The likelihood of the risks concerned materialising;
-
The Charity’s ability to reduce the incidence and impact of risks that do materialise; and
-
The costs of operating particular controls or safeguards relative to the benefit obtained.
The Trustees have set policies on internal controls which cover these points and, additionally, have clarified the responsibility of the Chief Executive and the staff of the Charity to implement these policies and to identify and evaluate risks for their consideration. The Charity maintains a risk register which is regularly reviewed by the Trustees; and areas of risk are discussed at Board meetings.

Objects and Aims of the Charity
The objects of the Charity are:
To hold and apply funds without distinction between capital and income for the benefit of such charitable institution or institutions and such charitable purpose or purposes as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.
The aims of the Charity are:
-
To generate income by collecting donations of shares and aggregating them into saleable quantities; in particular, small shareholdings that would cost more to sell than they are worth. Additionally, by accepting donated cash entitlements arising in a variety of ways from small shareholdings, corporate transactions and unclaimed assets.
-
To distribute funds thus generated to a wide range of other registered charities according to the Charity’s Grant-making Policy.
-
To provide a convenient and charitable solution to the long-standing business problem of small shareholdings and cash entitlements, enabling companies to reduce their administrative costs.
-
To foster awareness and understanding of share donation across the charitable sector.
Grant-making Policy
ShareGift does not accept applications for funding from charities. Instead, its policy is to reflect in the widest possible way the charities and causes which are of interest to those who help ShareGift to create the pool of funds from which it makes donations. This includes share donors and other supporters of ShareGift, including companies, stockbrokers and other organisations which offer ShareGift as an option to shareholders and clients. ShareGift encourages those who give shareholdings or cash fractions - however small – and those who assist the work of ShareGift in other ways, to suggest charities or areas of charitable work for future consideration. ShareGift also identifies charities as potential recipients of grants through its own in-house research and from time to time undertakes ‘themed’ distributions, across a wide and varied range of metrics, as an integral part of its cause-neutral grant-making philosophy and policy. All charities which are identified as potential beneficiaries of funding from ShareGift are subject to due diligence before any grant is considered.
Funds arising in Ireland are donated to a basket of Irish charities chosen by ShareGift. The work of these organisations covers a wide range of charitable activities, and they have been selected to reflect the varied charitable interests of the donors and the companies the Charity works with. ShareGift remains immensely grateful to The Community Foundation for Ireland, which administers the ShareGift Fund at the Community Foundation for Ireland.

ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Strategy
ShareGift successfully creates a unique funding stream which would not otherwise exist, and its core business plan remains the same as in the previous 27 years. The Charity continues to work with public limited companies, who regularly include information about ShareGift in shareholder communications. They do this both on a routine basis in share dealing programmes and annual reports and when opportunities arise within corporate transactions such as share consolidations. This is an important part of a company’s shareholder communications strategy, and from ShareGift’s point of view this route provides a most effective way for increasing donations to the Charity. ShareGift’s long term strategic planning, therefore, continues to lie in the further development of key contacts with companies and also with their registrars.
ShareGift continues to seek out innovative opportunities for companies to work with the Charity, and in doing so help lower their own administration costs, whilst at the same time generating the income that is then used to support the charitable sector. The Charity will also maintain and strengthen its collaborations with stockbrokers, independent financial advisers, solicitors and others, providing a useful and charitable solution to the problems created by small shareholdings and associated small cash amounts. The Charity considers it important to continue its pro bono work in educating individual charities about share donation as a fundraising tool and helping them to promote share donation to their supporters.
Unclaimed assets arising from small shareholdings have formed part of ShareGift’s income stream since the outset. ShareGift notes the Government’s decision, announced on 9 January 2021, to proceed with the expansion of the existing Dormant Assets Scheme, which currently covers dormant bank accounts, to include equities and other instruments. ShareGift will continue to monitor developments in this area as the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, the Office for Civil Society, the Securities Working Group and market participants across the securities industry shape the Scheme. ShareGift believes that its own unique model continues to represent a clearly differentiated and valuable way for share issuers to harness the power of unwanted shareholdings for the benefit of charities and charitable causes across the UK.
The Trustee Board and the Executive Team at ShareGift undertook a strategy review in June 2021, and committed to publishing details of this plan and the review in this Trustees’ Report for the year ending 31 March 2022. The strategy review included income analyses, SWOT analysis and extensive discussion and Board input.
As a result of the strategy review, ShareGift has adopted a ‘three pillars’ strategy model, as illustrated below.
Page 6
THE ORR MACKINTOSH FOUNDATION LIMITED
(A Company Limited by Guarantee, known as ShareGift)
ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Underpinned by solid foundations of good governance and sustainable and efficient operations, ShareGift’s three strategic ‘pillars’ or priorities are:
-
To raise awareness of and increase engagement with share and asset donation as powerful and taxefficient sources of income for charities and as problem solvers for corporates, individuals and institutions;
-
To enhance and expand ShareGift’s capability and capacity to harness new and emerging asset classes and developments for charitable purposes; and
-
To ensure that ShareGift remains the go-to source of expert information and know-how on share and asset donation across the corporate, philanthropic and charitable sectors and beyond.
Strategic Priority 1’s aims are driven by the following activities:
-
Communications activity across all relevant channels
-
Charities outreach and pro bono work
-
Corporate business development.
Strategic Priority 2’s aims are driven by the following activities:
-
Research on emerging asset classes e.g. cryptocurrencies
-
Analysis of income sources and other data to identify growth opportunities e.g. brokerage accounts
-
Horizon-scanning for new developments, challenges and threats, e.g. zero-commission retail brokerage trends emanating from the US.
Strategic Priority 3’s aims are driven by the following activities:
-
Review of relationships, with a view to rebuilding and rebalancing these where required
-
- Appropriate stakeholder weighting and prioritisation
-
Increasing ShareGift’s profile at both corporate and charitable events
-
Learning and development opportunities for ShareGift staff.

ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
ShareGift’s operations have unavoidably been shaped in the past two years by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Key lessons from this experience include an appreciation that:
-
The Executive Team can work anywhere, although some tasks still need to be accomplished at the office e.g. compiling and reviewing our Gift Aid return, as this contains personal data which must be held securely;
-
The team missed in-person contact, and value working in physical proximity to each other; and
-
The diversification of ShareGift's income streams is a key strength which protected it from the worst of the adverse impacts of the pandemic.
ShareGift's office lease was renegotiated 2021 and the use of office premises will be kept under review as we emerge from the impacts of the pandemic.
Good governance underpins ShareGift's activities, and the team has continued to strengthen and in some cases to formalise ShareGift's governance framework. This has included and will continue to include:
-
Trustee board succession planning;
-
Playing an active part in developing the trustees of the future;
-
Reviewing Executive Team roles, pay and remuneration; and
-
Policy development.

Financial Review
Analysis of Performance
Income generation: £4,030,053
The level of the Charity’s income, owing to the nature of its work, is always unpredictable and liable to fluctuate. ShareGift has no control over when individuals may donate shares and in what volumes or value. Nor does it have any control over when companies may choose to restructure their share capital or engage in other corporate actions. Moreover, it is impossible to predict the frequency and level of inclusion of ShareGift in such programmes even when they do occur. However, owing to companies’ increasing recognition of the useful role ShareGift can play, such inclusion has become increasingly likely.
The majority of income falls into two categories:
i) Shares donated to ShareGift; and share donated via share registrars, or into portfolios held in the Charity's name, and
ii) Corporate Income; defined for these purposes as shares and cash donated to ShareGift which have arisen from share dealing services, dividend reinvestment programmes, residual dividend entitlements, corporate actions and other company programmes.
Shares donated to ShareGift
ShareGift continues to accept donations of shares directly from shareholders, and also works with companies to promote its work via their existing communications: annual reports, websites, corporate nominee statements and other mailings. In this way existing shareholders can become aware of ShareGift effectively and at no additional cost either to the Charity or the company concerned.
Additionally, ShareGift collaborates with stockbrokers and nominee companies, and in order to increase efficiency maintains accounts with many of these. Small and/or illiquid shareholdings, which would otherwise clog up client nominee accounts and typically incur charges, are also transferred to the Charity. These are then aggregated by the stockbroker within their own nominee, and periodically either transferred to ShareGift or sold directly and the proceeds transferred to the Charity. This is not only an effective use of the systems operated by nominee companies, but also performs a valuable cost saving service for them and their clients alike. ShareGift works closely with providers of nominee services to assist them with problem shareholdings and residual cash amounts.
Solicitors and their clients also benefit from ShareGift’s existence, as the Charity can deal with many of those shareholdings that cannot readily be sold during the administration of deceased estates.
Although small shareholdings are the main focus of its work, ShareGift continues to assist philanthropically minded donors who wish to make larger gifts of shares. This is especially helpful for those whose shareholdings or share transactions are complex, those who may have an interest in more than one charity, and for those who may wish to remain anonymous to ShareGift's beneficiary charities. Further details of how ShareGift handles larger donations of shares may be found on the website: www.sharegift.org/donate-shares/large-donations/

(A Company Limited by Guarantee, known as ShareGift)
ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Corporate Income
ShareGift has built productive relationships with registrars, companies and corporate lawyers by offering a practical solution in respect of small shareholdings and cash entitlements arising from these. ShareGift is now often to be found in the template documentation for a wide range of shareholder programmes and communications. Corporate use of ShareGift continues to increase in scope, with shareholder dealing programmes, fractional shares and cash entitlements, residual dividends and Dividend Reinvestment Plan entitlements all now contributing to the Charity’s income. The Charity also sees an income stream from the inclusion of ShareGift options in the documentation of asset reunification specialists. Funds arising from liquidated dormant assets and cash are now regularly received by the Charity.
Charitable grants: £3,771,498
The total amount granted to charities during the year was £3,771,498. Individual grants ranged from £500 to £120,000, with 430 grants (2020/21: 407) going to 404 different charities (2020/21: 367), a number of which received more than one grant during the course of the year. The largest amount received by a single charity was £232,500.
Grants were made to a wide range of new and existing beneficiaries, reflecting the diverse charitable interests of ShareGift’s supporters – share donors, organisations and individuals who help the Charity to create the pool of funds available for grant-making. As a result, the list of charities ShareGift has supported since 1996 continues to grow; to date more than 3,300 charities, covering an extensive area of local, national and international work, have received grants totalling over £40 million.
The principles governing grant-making are applied regardless of the Charity’s income, which is liable to fluctuate from year to year (see the Grant-making Policy on the website: www.sharegift.org/downloads/). It is for this last reason that ShareGift cannot specifically seek to achieve a particular level of charitable donations in any given financial year.
Reserves Policy
ShareGift continues to make charitable grants with available funds, retaining only what is required for operational costs. With this in mind, the Trustees’ policy is to maintain reserves at no more than 30% of actual income for the previous 12 months, but not less than a conservative estimate of winding up costs.
At 31 March 2022 free reserves (being unrestricted funds not held as tangible fixed assets) stood at £2,607,589, which equated to 64.8% of unrestricted income. Adjusted for the Designated Fund (see below) free reserves amounted to 17.8% of unrestricted income. The timing of incoming funds, received just prior to the end of the financial period, is not within the control of the Trustees. The balance sheet presents a snapshot of the Charity’s position at a single point in time, and the reserves figure is kept under regular review.
Designated Fund
A Designated Fund, arising originally from a legacy to the Charity, and managed on its behalf by an external manager, is used to defray a portion of annual costs. The amount to be drawn down each year is agreed by the Trustees and may vary from year to year. Please refer to Note 19 'Statement of funds' for details of the amount drawn down in the year.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee, known as ShareGift)
ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Investment Policy
Operational investment policy: ShareGift’s portfolio of assets arises from donated shareholdings. The portfolio is intended for sale in fulfilment of ShareGift’s charitable purpose, rather than held to generate investment income. Consequently, the Trustees and management do not take an investment view in relation to markets, sectors or of the individual characteristics of shareholdings held in ShareGift’s name prior to sale in fulfilment of the Charity’s purpose. Book costs for holdings in the Charity’s portfolio of aggregated share donations, being gifts, are valued according to accounting policy 1.7. Other than in respect of the Designated Fund mentioned above, it is not the Charity’s policy to purchase shares.
By extension, dividend income received is the by-product of stock held by the Charity between transfer and sale of shareholdings. The nature of ShareGift’s activities is such that any investment return on the portfolio (being derived from shares randomly donated to the Charity) is fortuitous and incidental.
Designated Fund Investment Policy: The portfolio of investments which make up ShareGift’s Designated Fund is managed by an external fund manager. It is managed on a low-risk mandate, balanced between capital growth and income, with funds drawn down on an annual basis to cover a proportion of the Charity’s costs, as determined each year by the Trustees. The mandate seeks specifically to limit the volatility of the fund. Over the year, the portfolio performed in line with expectations, achieving a return below that of the main equity markets but reflecting the lower risk and volatility profile adopted by the Trustees for the management of this fund.
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.
Public Benefit
As set out in other areas of this report, ShareGift's charitable activities involve making donations to other charities as well as assisting the charitable sector more generally by raising awareness of share donation. ShareGift has worked with several ‘household name’ charities and many smaller charities this year to help them to integrate share donation information into their websites and other supporter communications. Charities are keen to maximise and diversify their income streams, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ShareGift is delighted to help them develop share donation as an income stream.
Organisations in receipt of grants from ShareGift are registered charities involved in a wide range of areas of benefit and are themselves required to demonstrate that their own aims are for the public benefit. The Trustees refer to, and are mindful of, the Charity Commission’s guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’ as they review the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. They confirm that, in exercising their powers and duties, they have complied with their duty to have due regard to this guidance.
Related Parties
For details of the Charity’s related party transactions see Note 26.
Paul Killik, a Trustee, is a founding partner of Killik & Co. The partnership has supported ShareGift in respect of its accommodation in the past. The partnership currently provides I.T. support, carries out share disposals free of charge, handles the payroll system for the Charity’s employees free of charge and is reimbursed for expenses it settles on ShareGift’s behalf.

ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Key Management Personnel
The Board consider the key management personnel of ShareGift to comprise the Trustees, the Chief Executive, Company Secretary and the Head of Operations.
No Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustee expenses are disclosed in Note 12 and related party transactions are disclosed in Note 26.
The Trustees have established a Remuneration Committee to review and approve all elements of the pay of the Chief Executive, on at least an annual basis. The Chief Executive reviews and approves the pay of all other staff on at least an annual basis within the parameters approved by the Remuneration Committee from time to time.
Remuneration Practices & Policy
The Trustees and the Chief Executive undertook a review of remuneration practices and policy during the financial year ended 31 March 2022, and a new Remuneration Policy was approved by the Board on 12 May 2022.
ShareGift is committed to a Remuneration policy which offers fair pay to attract and keep appropriately qualified staff to lead, manage, support and deliver on ShareGift’s charitable objectives, recognising that many of the skills and experience required to achieve these aims will be embodied by individuals with a commercial rather than charitable career background.
In determining the remuneration policy, ShareGift has drawn on ACEVO’s ‘Good Pay Guide’, in particular its five principles: transparency, proportionality, performance, recruitment & retention, and process.
Transparency: Internally, it is vital that pay decisions regarding ShareGift’s employees are made on a fair and consistent basis, and that this is communicated to employees in a clear and transparent way. Externally, it is important that pay ranges for advertised roles are published and ShareGift commits to this as part of its role in ensuring fair and equal pay.
Proportionality: ShareGift is a small organisation by employee headcount. It is therefore necessary and important to ensure that pay processes, whilst required to uphold high standards of governance, remain proportionate to the size of the organisation, and that these are not overly burdensome to line managers or to employees.
Performance: ShareGift’s suite of policies in particular should be regarded as the baseline for employee conduct and performance. Employees will be required to agree annual appraisal objectives with their line manager, based on a mix of personal and organisational performance measures.
Recruitment & retention: When recruiting for specific skills, especially those which are not easily obtained in the charitable recruitment sector, ShareGift will be mindful of relative levels of pay required to recruit and retain such individuals.
Process: Salary and pay decisions will be made by the appropriate individual(s) and/or body i.e. the Remuneration Committee, and will be communicated to employees in writing, as well as via face-to-face communication wherever possible. Pay reviews will be made on an annual basis, following the employee’s annual appraisal. Whilst this is an annual process, it should not be inferred that an annual pay rise will automatically follow.
Page 12
(A Company Limited by Guarantee, known as ShareGift)
THE ORR MACKINTOSH FOUNDATION LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
ShareGift seeks to pay its employees a fair and benchmarked salary, which will be reviewed on an annual basis once the employee has successfully completed their probation period. Other elements of pay include pension and private medical insurance. ShareGift does not pay performance-related or discretionary bonuses.
The Board or the Remuneration Committee will from time to time use external remuneration consultants (on a pro-bono basis, wherever possible) and other data from the recruitment market to informally benchmark employee salaries, allowances and other benefits. The Board or the Remuneration Committee and the CEO determine where the organisation’s pay levels should sit in relation to benchmark information.
ShareGift wishes to be transparent in its recruitment activities and commits to publishing a pay range for all roles advertised externally. ShareGift complies with all applicable regulatory reporting requirements regarding employee pay.
Information on Fundraising Practices
Neither the Charity, nor anyone acting on its behalf, undertakes conventional charitable fundraising activities such as the soliciting of donations or the conducting of direct mailings, telephone or street-based campaigns. Rather, ShareGift provides a solution for companies, brokers, lawyers, individuals and others in taking away the burden of administering odd lots of shares and their associated cash entitlements.
Costs are incurred in furtherance of the Charity’s objectives, entailing a labour-intensive administrative process as thousands of small shareholdings a year are transferred, aggregated, and their collective value converted into the funds distributed by ShareGift. The cost of undertaking these activities is more accurately described by the term “cost of generating funds” than by “fundraising costs”.
Update on Covid-19
As reported for the financial years ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, the Executive Team successfully adopted fully remote working practices, making full use of the range of technological solutions available, and Trustee Board meetings were conducted via video- and tele-conferencing platforms. During that time the Head of Operations and the Chief Executive visited the office several times, remaining in compliance with lockdown measures that were in force from time to time and without overlap in their presence in the office itself.
The Charity’s office in London was reopened in January 2022 and the Executive Team has adopted hybrid working practices, which balance the benefits of working remotely with the call for collaborative work in the office.

ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity 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 . 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 Charity 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:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Statement on Disclosure of Information to the Auditors
So far as each Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity's auditors are unaware. Relevant information is defined as "information needed by the Charity's auditors in connection with preparing their report".
Each Trustee has taken all the steps (such as making enquiries of other Trustees and the auditors and any other steps required by the Trustee's duty to exercise due care, skill and diligence) that they ought to have taken in their duty as a Trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity’s auditors are aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ORR MACKINTOSH FOUNDATION LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Orr Mackintosh Foundation Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditors' 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 AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ORR MACKINTOSH FOUNDATION LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
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.
Page 17
THE ORR MACKINTOSH FOUNDATION LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee, known as ShareGift)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ORR MACKINTOSH FOUNDATION LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
Auditors' 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 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 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.
Due to the field in which the charitable company operates, we identified the areas most likely to have a direct material impact on the financial statements as compliance with UK accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006. In addition, we considered the provisions of other laws and regulatons which whilst not having a direct impact on the financial statements, are fundamental to the charitable company's ability to operate including health and safety; compliance with charity law; employment law; GDPR and compliance with FCA rules.
-
Enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, accidents in the workplace and fraud;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of signifcant transactions outside the normal course of business.
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: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. Accounting policies
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 Companies Act 2006.
The Orr Mackintosh Foundation Limited 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 Charity status
The Charity is limited by guarantee. The members of the company are Claire Mackintosh and Matthew Orr and the current serving Trustees. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the Charity.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.3 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.
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 Charity 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 is 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 Charity, can be reliably measured.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the Charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
The majority of income is received by way of donations comprising gifts of quoted shares and fixed interest securities. These are recognised for income purposes when all the following criteria are met:
a. The value of a particular shareholding is in excess of £100;
b. in practice the holding is saleable; and
c. The expected sale cost does not exceed the value of the holding.
Shares are sold within six months of donation provided that any particular aggregated holding is worth £100 or more, and that the cost of sale would not exceed the total value of that holding.
1.4 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 on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Expenditure on charitable donations is recorded once the Charity has made a commitment to make a donation and this has been communicated to the beneficiary.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
1.6 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 are included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
- Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line
1.7 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.
1.8 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.
1.9 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.10 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 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.
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 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 where applicable.
1.11 Financial instruments
The Charity 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.
1.12 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.13 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
1.14 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.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.15 Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction.
Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
2. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments 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 Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

5. Analysis of grants (continued)
Donations were made to 430 (2021: 367) charities.
Our policy is to include, as beneficiaries, many charities and causes which are of interest to share donors and other supporters of ShareGift (including companies, stockbrokers and others who offer the ShareGift option to shareholders and clients). ShareGift's list of beneficiaries represents a wide spectrum of charities — from major household names to small local initiatives.
There are no restrictions on the type of work we may support, or where it takes place. As a result of this policy ShareGift does not consider it appropriate to analyse donations by reference to the nature or type of charitable activities.
The list of charities receiving £10,000 or more can be seen in Appendix 1 to these accounts.
