statements of the charity and its subsidiaries, Tiverton Educational Foundation and Devon Social Finance Ltd, for the year ending 31 March 2021 whic

financial statements for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

This year, my first full year as Chair, has been tumultuous for us all, with the advent of COVID and the extreme consequences for Devon residents as a result. Devon Community Foundation (DCF) has had to move quickly and flexibly to support the many groups and organisations (some existing and some new) to rise so magnificently to the task of looking after their neighbours, and especially those who were facing extra challenges in their lives.

Devon Community Foundation responded rapidly in multiple ways. We moved the whole staff team to remote working and put in the necessary wellbeing structures to make sure everyone could cope and work flexibly, especially those who were having to home school.

We contacted all our donors to ask if they were happy for us to use their funds extremely flexibly, rapidly and without consulting them as we normally do. Impressively no-one came back to us to say no: our donors have our community at their heart as we do, and so saw the need for funds to be made available as fast and as easily as possible. We owe them a great vote of thanks for their generosity of spirit and trust in us, and their funds have been an essential part of keeping the great work of local groups and organisations going.

Likewise, our Trustees rose to the occasion as we put in place daily grant decision panels, giving their time freely, which meant that most applications for emergency funding could be turned around from application to payment within 48 hours, facilitated by the extraordinary dedication of our staff team.

Getting funds out to groups was, of course, our top priority and we are hugely grateful to the early support of Devon County Council and Together for Devon, both of whom made significant donations to the emergency fund very early on. In addition, DCF was the channel to local action for the National Emergencies Trust who raised a staggering £97,000,000 over the year from corporate and individual donors. working alongside the 46 Community Foundations across the UK.

Our mission is to c onnect people, funds, services and systems to maximise their local impact: together creating fair and diverse communities with opportunity for everyone , and I am proud to say that this year when it was most needed, Devon Community Foundation really delivered.

It is only through the connections between funders, donors, the trustees, the staff team, local VCSE and statutory partners that we achieved as much as we have done.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2021

Along the way we have learned a great deal and, as life returns slowly to something more normal, we are taking that learning with us into 2021 and beyond. We held a strategic review late in 2020 which has resulted in some structural changes to how we do things: trying to make sure that the flexibility that made it easier for groups to apply, and donors to make the impact they want, is maintained going forward.

The pandemic is not yet over, we are still in partial lockdown, and we know for sure that the consequences of COVID will be long lasting. The impact has been disproportionately high on our most deprived areas and disadvantaged people and communities, on young people and on groups. We are firmly focussed on doing what we can going forward to address that both with our grant making but also with strengthening our own Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy and our partnership working.

There are daunting challenges ahead as we face the economic, social and personal fall-out from the pandemic and DCF will be at the forefront in Devon to rise to them.

Objectives and Activities

The purpose of the Charity is:

Our Vision, Mission and Theory of Change are:

Vision: Thriving Devon Communities

Mission: Connect people, funds, services and systems to maximise their local impact: together creating fair and diverse communities with opportunity for everyone

Theory of Change: If we use all our resources to support the ambitions of local people then their communities will be fairer with increased capability to thrive.

These three statements connect to forge our approach to Asset Based Community Development and our complete c better across the county. This applies equally to those who want to give locally and those who act, forming groups and organisations to do so.

It is not always easy for donors to know where to start. There are thousands of committed individuals and groups in Devon working hard to support those who are vulnerable and engaging local people in making their particular community a thriving and happy place to live. These community groups and small charities are on the front line, tackling really difficult issues and having incredibly positive impacts, and they need resources to do this vital work.

DCF connects the two sides of the same coin. Our 25-year history of action, on behalf of donors and in response to our community, puts us in the unique position to be able to see the picture as a whole and direct funds where they are really needed and will be used best for maximum impact.

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year and plan our activities for the future, including the trustees from the growing endowment fund is distributed to local community groups and organisations (and some individuals) that are working to address disadvantage and deprivation across the County alongside additional flow-through funds.

This is underpinned by a well-developed impact measurement framework which enables us to measure the effectiveness of our grant making and other activities against our Theory of Change. An impact report is produced each year and presented to the Board for consideration to enable the Charity to reflect upon and review its approach on an annual basis, based on evidence from the previous years.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2021

Our grant-making policy is to distribute funding to local groups, organisations and charities that support the ambitions of local people and enabl ~~e l~~ ocal communities to thrive. Grants will be made to constituted not-forprofit registered charities, voluntary and community organisations (which may not be constituted), social enterprises and individuals within Devon, Plymouth and Torbay. At the Trustees’ discretion, grants may also made to organisations in the neighbouring counties of Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset.

In addition to our core work, DCF is also involved in two other significant projects:

The Positive People programme supports people who are not in work to help build their confidence, gain skills and experience and support them on their journey into work. Positive People is funded by The European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund.

Wellbeing Exeter is a partnership of public, voluntary and community sector organisations working together to provide the firm foundations for individuals and communities to promote and improve their own health and wellbeing.

The programme has developed into a city-wide social model of prevention which recognises that communities, and the relationships that make them, are vital to creating and sustaining health and wellbeing. To achieve this, we put connecting, supporting and strengthening communities at the heart of our work.

Wellbeing Exeter is funded by Exeter City Council, Devon County Council, Sport England and Exeter Primary Care Networks.

Coronavirus Response

2020-2021 distribution of funds was, of course, entirely dominated by our response to Coronavirus in multiple ways:

  1. Our Devon Coronavirus Response and Recovery Fund which offered resources for groups and organisations that were actively responding to the immediate needs of their communities

  2. The Advice and Support Fund where we offered support to those organisations that addressed financial hardship or unemployment

  3. A Core Costs Support Fund to keep groups afloat whilst their fundraising ability was severely reduced.

  4. Our Food Programme which funded and facilitated Food Networks across Devon and distributed grants to organisation ~~s t~~ hat provide food to those people who were in need of it.

The figures and charts below relate to the financial year 2020-21. Information on grants awarded is based on the date the funds were allocated. Information on applications is based in the date the applications were received and therefore may not tally exactly. Given the exceptional nature of this year, comparisons with previous years

must be made with caution, but some trends have been noted. As it was not relevant to collect data on thriving community themes for Covid emergency grants, we have not included information on themes this year.

Wellbeing Exeter grants are excluded from most of the following charts as they can produce unhelpful distortions.

Financial Review

This year we maintained our operational costs although delivering the hugely increased activity. Our total endowment grew by 18.5% to £8,388,806 (£7,080,117 2020) despite some market volatility in the light of the global COVID-19 pandemic and distribution more than doubled. We are here to make a difference and get grant support out into the community and steady progress in investment this year meant that we made the decision to access some capital to maintain distribution.

This year we also conducted a strategic review, and the Trustees made the commitment to more staff resource for 2021-2022. The Trustees are convinced that the continued investment in the development of the core team will yield significant benefits in the years to come and are fully satisfied that the Foundation is financially robust.

Net assets at the 31 March 2021 were £11,2 11 , 404 (2020: £8,827,347). £8,388,806 of which are endowment funds (2020: 7,080,117). The total unrealised and realised gain on investments amounted to £1,545,683 (2020: £-433,176).

£2,392,213 due in large part to the NET funds (2020: £463,450), charitable activities £1,555,445 (2020: £1,305,039) and investments £238,951 (2020: £238,431).

Total expenditure was £ 3 ,3 48235 , (2020: £1,721,075). The expenditure on raising funds was £121,937 (2020: £109,378), charitable activities £3, 226 , 298 (including grants payable of £2,781,421) (2020: £1,611,697 (includes grants payable £1,221,016).

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2021

In February 2021, the Trustees decided to increase the levels of designated reserves to £122,000 to protect the Foundation against what will inevitably be an unpredictable next few years as the nation recovers and rebalances after the pandemic.

Consequently, unrestricted reserves are now at £7 , of which £122,000 are designated. This is in line with the charity commission guidance. Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and the receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency expenditure. The year end balances on the restricted funds of £2,119,287 are for future grant making and active projects.

Reserves Policy

The trustees reviewed the Charities reserve level and designated £122,000 which is the minimum level of reserves to allow the community foundation to operate for a period of 3 months if income streams were significantly impacted by market conditions. The trustees review the reserve policy each year. At the year end the unrestricted reserves were £7 , which was at the upper level.

The trustees believe that it is appropriate to maintain unrestricted funds to ensure:

the smooth operation of the Foundation in the event of long-term illness of a member of staff the continuation of activities in the short term if sources of flow-through grant-making ceased or diminished

the financing of obligations, residual liabilities and redundancies should the Foundation cease to operate

Going Concern

The Foundation is in the fortunate position of having a healthy cash-flow projection due to receiving grant funds before distribution. In addition, the core costs element of the endowment is secure for the foreseeable future. This is sufficient to be sure the Foundation can and will continue in perpetuity and is able to support itself with a reliable source of income.

In 2021 the Trustees authorised significant use of reserves to support the expansion of the Team anticipating a return on that investment over subsequent years. The three-year financial forecast is reviewed at every Board meeting and mitigating action taken when financial pressures require (for example recruiting or losing roles as required) and adjusting the expenditure to align with income.

The impact of covid- 19 on the UK and its economy has been significant. DCF has been very busy as a hub for distribution of its own and specific emergency funds over the last year. There is no reason why this cannot continue beyond the time when COVID-19 is no longer a threat to our lives and wellbeing and new partnerships have been forged which we believe will grow and develop over time.

11

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2021

Investments

Devon Community Foundation continues to work with Wiltshire Community Foundation, Dorset Community Foundation and Somerset Community Foundation with a collective agreement for investment.

The joint Investment Committee, with representatives from all three Community Foundations, carries out scrutiny of our investment performance and Investment Managers. The total return on endowment investments was 24.6% in 2020-21.

With consideration of potential future volatility, especially in Europe, the Trustees decided to distribute 5.5% of endowed value at 31 December 2019 for grant making in 2020-21 and those funds were distributed in the year.

The Foundation has investments with:

Smith & Williamson Investment Management

Quilter Cheviot One Kings Way London WC2B 6AN

CCLA Investment Management Limited

Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street London EC4V 4ET

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Board has a remit to look more closely at enterprising ideas as opportunities arise to ensure that they meet our charitable purpose and are deliverable and sustainable within the resources of the Foundation. The Board of Trustees review the risk register quarterly in advance of the Board meetings and this register is circulated with the Board papers.

In common with every other organisation, COVID-19 presents a significant risk to our income both from donations and investments. The Board is completed a -term sustainability and maximum impact of the Foundation.

The Future

In 2018-19 we implemented a new 5-year strategy fully embracing Community Wellbeing as our overarching goal under which our three themes of distribution, philanthropy and leadership sit. In addition, the Board recognises that the development of our own digital competency and utilisation is an important cross cutting theme of all our work. Our digital tools are being updated and the advent of these new tools and approaches gives us, our partners and applicants, an opportunity to be more effective and efficient, with deeper insight into the need for and results

12

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2021

of our work. To underpin our evolved strategic aims, we have restructured our staff team to have the necessary capacity and skills to deliver our ambitions. We continue to develop new partnerships and alliances with all sectors which are leading to exploring ideas around what the Foundation can do for the Community that may not involve grants to groups and organisations.

In common with most organisations, DCF has had to pivot to respond in an agile and flexible way in all areas of our work to the needs of work and more likely two or three to help address the economic and social fall out.

We have completed an interim strategic review against our goals for 2019-2024 and have found them still relevant and important (in fact more so) in the light of what we have learned throughout COVID. Consequently, they remain:

Overarching aim: Devon Community Foundation Championing Community Wellbeing

Community wellbeing is the combination of social, economic, environmental, cultural, and political conditions identified by individuals and their communities as essential for them to flourish and fulfil their potential. We want to mobilise community wellbeing for the great good that that will do in supporting communities to identify and find their own solutions. Demonstrating our impact will encourage others to give alongside us.

We have three mechanisms

Philanthropic Services

Anyone can be a donor to the Foundation, on any scale, and make a real difference to local lives. We work with donors to develop and realise their philanthropic goals, matching their interests to community aspirations. Funds are distributed to a wide spectrum of projects across Devon to tackle local disadvantage and nurture our local communities.

Funding Local Communities

We offer financial and other support to local groups and organisations tackling local disadvantage and deprivation by assisting local people to improve their lives. Every gift distributed generates valuable learning about what works best and has the most impact. We share this widely with our donors and partners and use it to inform our collective strategy.

Community Collaboration

Partnerships and collaborations are vital to our success. We believe DCF is the largest independent grant-maker in the county and as such we have a responsibility to take a leadership role as champions of the groups, beneficiaries and donors we support. Increasingly we are involved in partnerships to help close the gap between the private, public and voluntary sectors and we welcome working closely with others to demonstrate the critical importance of local groups and donors in creating and maintaining Community Wellbeing.

Cross Cutting tool: Digital Transformation Devon Community Foundation fully embraces digital development in its own operations and in mobilising Community Wellbeing and has committed a significant sum to its own digital development for 2021-22.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2021 Report (continued)

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Devon Community Foundation is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 21 November 2006 and a registered charity with the Charity Commission. As Directors of the company, Trustees must ensure it is run in accordance with the Articles of Association and the law in general.

The Board is responsible and accountable for the strategic direction of the Devon Community Foundation and collectively sets and monitors the vision, mission, values and strategies for the Charity. As guardians of the the organisation is performing well and is delivering the outcomes for which it is set up, in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Trustees are bound by an overriding duty, individually and as a Board, to act reasonably at all times in the interests of the organisation and of its present and future beneficiaries and members. Each and every trustee must act personally and not as a representative of any group or organisation.

The maximum number of Trustees is determined by the Company in general meeting and the minimum number of members of the Board of trustees is three.

None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the Charity although they may claim reasonable expenses if incurred when representing the Charity. These expenses are claimed through the

The pay of all staff is reviewed at Board, annually, and the Board of Trustees agree any pay increases or alterations considering the current and projected financial performance and stability of the organisation.

Appointment of Trustees

The Board is responsible for the appointment of Trustees. The initial term of office for Trustees is five years, and a Trustee is then eligible for re-election for a further five years as decided by the Board. There is provision for the second term to be extended at the discretion of the Board should they perceive there to be a risk of either a) losing vital knowledge and skills from the Board and thereby endangering the progress of the Foundation and its Board or b) having insufficient number on the Board for it to function effectively.

In anticipation of retiring Trustees, the Board decides what skills and attributes are needed in new Trustees and a recruitment process commences. There are job descriptions for Trustees containing specific additional responsibilities for Lead Trustees for an area of responsibility. For example, there are lead Trustees for Grant Making, Finance, Investment, and Communications. Notwithstanding their shared and joint responsibility, these lead Trustees take an additional interest in the practical functions under their oversight within the operational team.

The work of the Foundation is often complex and intricate, and it operates in a fast-moving environment. Consequently, the Board took the decision that it was important to have detailed knowledge and access to operational activities where necessary to maintain overall Board understanding of all activities. The Lead Trustees adopt this role according to their experience.

14

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2021

Recruitment of New Trustees

Roles are advertised in appropriate media with a recruitment pack containing the role description, the annual review of the organisation and an application form is completed. This is reviewed by the Board and suitable candidates invited to an initial meeting with either or both the Chair and Vice Chair. This meeting is to establish their interest in the work of the Foundation, the experience and skills they offer and for prospective Trustees to

Following that meeting, prospective Trustees are invited to meet with the Chief Executive for a further conversation where she can answer more specific operations questions and explain the operational activities of the team. If at this stage everyone wishes to proceed, both Board and applicant, then they are nominated and elected at the next available Board meeting.

Trustee Induction and Training

Once appointed to the Board a new Trustee spends time in the office (or virtually) with the Chief Executive and the team at an induction day to gain further understanding of the mechanics of the Foundation. Lead Trustees spend additional time with the relevant team member and have regular meetings with that team member ongoing. In addition, all Trustees are invited to attend at least one Team Meeting a year. Further training needs are identified as needed and training opportunities (such as conferences and training courses) are publicised to Trustees, and they are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities to both facilitate their role and deepen their understanding of the context for the Foundation.

Organisation

The Chief Executive has delegated overall responsibility for the effective running of the Foundation, with support and guidance from the Chair and Board of Trustees. The Chief Executive is responsible to the Trustees for financial management and the development of income streams, for staff management, for managing an effective funding distribution system and for developing relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

The Board meets quarterly (virtually where appropriate) with papers provided one week prior to each meeting. In addition, the Chief Executive meets with the Chair every six weeks to discuss the strategic direction of the organisation. As previously described lead Trustees have variable levels of direct contact with the team in their areas of interest.

Related Parties

The Wace Family Fund was created from a donation from Sally Wace who is a DCF Trustee.

The Plymouth Drake Foundation works closely with Devon Community Foundation on several DCF Plymouth Based funds.

Devon Community Foundation became the Trustee of the Tiverton Education Foundation (TEF) in October 2014. The grant-making element of TEF has passed to Devon Community Foundation to take advantage of the improved efficiencies this brings through the creation of a named fund within DCF.

Responsibilities of the trustees

ponsibilities set out on page 18, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charity 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 they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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.

Our 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 Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the entity and the sector in which it operates to identify the key laws and regulations. Key laws and regulations identified were the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, tax legislation, safeguarding and irregularities relating to the protection of data and health and safety. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the website at:

and fraud risk more generally.

Based on this we designed our audit procedures to identify irregularities. Our audit procedures involved the following:

Review of Trustees meeting minutes for irregularities with laws and regulations;

of Devon Community

Foundation (continued)

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. This risk increases the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements as we are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: -

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

The trustees have assessed the c benefit. The Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Devon Community Foundation was incorporated in England UK. The registered office is deta report.

No separate SOFA has been presented for the charity alone as permitted by section 408 of the companies Act 2006

The functional currency of Devon Community Foundation is considered to be pounds sterling because it is the primary economic environment in which the Charity operates.

Preparation of financial statements on a going concern basis

The Foundation is in the fortunate position of having a healthy cash-flow projection due to receiving grant funds before distribution. In addition, the core costs element (DCF share) of the endowment is secure for the foreseeable future which is sufficient to ensure the Foundation can and will continue in perpetuity, and is able to support itself with a reliable source of income.

The three year financial projections are positive showing a small surplus forecast due to a range of diversified and sustainable sources of income at the current level of resourcing needed. The three year financial forecast is reviewed at every Board meeting and mitigating action taken when financial pressures require (for example recruiting or losing roles as required) and adjusting the expenditure to meet the expected income.

The impact of COVID-19 on the UK and its economy has been significant. DCF has been in the last year very busy as a hub for distribution of its own and specific emergency funds. There is no reason why this cannot continue beyond the time when COVID-19 is no longer a threat to our lives and wellbeing.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Consolidated financial statements

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Tiverton Educational Foundation (TEF) and Devon Social Finance LTD (DSF) on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The Charity became the sole corporate trustee of Tiverton Educational Foundation on 6 October 2014.

Income

Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the Charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the Charity has been notified of otified to the charity, or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income 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 by the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount the Charity 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.

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 interest paid or payable by the bank.

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the Charity. Designated funds are unrestricted of the Charity which trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas o projects being undertaken by the Foundation. Endowment funds are invested and the income from these funds is applied to the relevant restricted or unrestricted income funds.

Investment income is allocated to the endowment funds. Withdrawals from the endowment fund have been made at a rate of 5.5 % (2020: 4%) which the trustees review annually and consider to be a reasonable withdrawal rate. A total of £550,149 (2020: £358,700) was transferred from the endowment funds to restricted (£420,977) and unrestricted (£129,172) funds in the year.

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

fund development or marketing/advertising.

on charitable activities includes the costs of grant making, property expenses and project activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.

Expenditure is allocated between the above headings in the Statement of Financial Activities on a direct basis apart from staff costs, which are allocated based upon the amount of time staff work on each area.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Foundations activities.

Taxation

Devon Community Foundation has charitable status and uses its funds for charitable purposes. Therefore, no taxation is included in these financial statements and is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992. The charity is not registered for Value Added Tax, and expenditure therefore includes VAT where appropriate.

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Operating leases - lessor

Tiverton Educational Foundation classifies the lease of the property known as 47a Barrington Street as an operating lease. The lease on the property known as 47a Barrington Street has ceased following exercise of the break clause.

Investments

Investments are stated at their quoted market value at the end of the year.

The SOFA includes the net gains and losses on revaluations and disposals throughout the year. Realised gains and losses for the year are calculated based on market value brought forward plus any additions in the year.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and are included at cost. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives. Computer and office equipment are written off using straight line over 3 years.

Investment property at fair value.

47A Barrington Street property is treated as an investment property under charities SORP (FRS 102). A valuation was carried out by an independent expert in 2006. The trustees have considered revaluation and decided the property is measured at fair value therefore the value remains at 266,000 and will be revalued at each reporting date.

The Foundation is constrained by the Trust Deed as to the use of the land asset. A part of this land must be used as the site of Castle School and is subject to reverter rights. On this basis the Trustees have revalued the asset and reclassified the land as investment property.

Debtors

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

Cash at bank

Cash at bank includes 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 (continued)

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

The Foundation 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.

Pensions

Pension provision is in place currently for the Chief Executive and was extended to all other staff in April 2017 in line with current pension regulations.

2. Legal status of the Foundation

The Foundation is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital.
