The Elizabeth Cayzer Charitable Trust
Report of the trustees (continued)
Structure, governance, and management
The trust was established by the Settlor, The Hon. Mrs Gilmour, through an irrevocable Deed of Appointment dated 1 November 1996. The charity was registered by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales on 19 November 1996 under charity number 1059265.
The trust does not actively fund-raise, and it is not the intention of the trustees to seek or accept donations other than from the Settlor, although the governing document allows them to do so. The trustees are prohibited, under the trust deed, from undertaking any permanent trading activities to raise funds for the charity. The trustees seek to continue the philanthropic work desired by the Settlor through the careful stewardship of the trust’s existing resources. All donations to the charity since its inception have been made by the Settlor.
The power of appointing new trustees is vested in the Settlor during her lifetime. New trustees may be appointed at any time, either by way of replacement or addition. The Hon. Mrs Gilmour and Mrs Diana Lloyd were each appointed on 1 November 1996, Mr Dominic Gibbs was appointed on 18 January 2008, Mrs Sonia Barry was appointed on 4 January 2021, and Mr George Ponsonby was appointed on 25 February 2021. All served throughout the year ended 31 March 2022, with the exception of Mrs Diana Lloyd, who died in November 2021.
The trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the trust, including grant-making, investment, risk management, reserves, and performance. The day-to-day administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration is delegated to The Hon. Mrs Gilmour, and the financial affairs of the charity are handled by the administrator.
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The trust deed gives the trustees the power to apply the income and all or such part or parts of the capital for or towards such charitable purposes and to make donations to such charitable institutions as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.
In formulating policy, the trustees have taken into account the wishes of the Settlor, which are that the assets of the charity should be used to support and promote the work of museums, galleries, and the architectural heritage of the British Isles. The trustees identify projects and organisations they wish to support and that benefit the public. Projects usually fall within one of the following categories:
-
exhibitions which otherwise would not be mounted;
-
exhibition catalogues;
-
academic conferences;
-
conservation of works of art, as well as of buildings of architectural and historic interest, and restoration projects associated with them;
-
support of young curators, conservators, and heritage building apprentices; and
-
archives and the preservation of artefacts.
They do not consider grants to people or organisations who apply speculatively. The trust also has a policy of not responding to any correspondence unless it relates to grants it has agreed to make or to the general management of the trust.
The trustees, having regard to the Public Benefit Guidance published by the Charity Commission in accordance with section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, consider that the purpose and activities of the charity satisfy the requirements of the public benefit test set out in section 4 of the same Act.
Achievements and performance
Significant grants unconditionally pledged during the year were as follows:
-
Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust – restoration of six 19[th] century lamp standards;
-
The National Gallery – contribution towards the construction of the One Gallery Accommodation Hub staff quarters at the museum;
-
The National Portrait Gallery – restoration of mosaics;
-
The Wallace Collection – catalogues and audio guides for exhibitions at the museum; and
-
The Landmark Trust – restoration of Tudor wall paintings at Calverley Old Hall.

Report of the trustees (continued)
Investment policy and performance
The charity’s investment powers are prescribed in the trust deed. The deed gives the trustees very wide powers of investment and the investment policy of preserving the real value of the trust fund falls within them.
The trustees have set a policy that the expendable endowment should be invested to maximise the total return (capital growth plus income) with a low to medium level of risk. The income from investments for the year was £163,359, closely in line with the prior year figure of £162,235.
Income generated by the expendable endowment is accrued to the unrestricted fund. The trustees have the power to spend the expendable endowment as necessary. No transfers were made during the financial year.
Details of the charity’s fixed asset investments are described in note 4 to the financial statements.
Smith & Williamson portfolio
The market value of the portfolio of stocks managed by Smith & Williamson rose over the year by 10.2% (2021 – 19.1%), due to the general strong performance of investment markets in the year. This compares with an increase of 9.3% (2021 – 23.3%) in the value of the FTSE All Share Index. The portfolio produced an average income return of 2.3% (2021 – 2.6%).
At the year-end, the portfolio managed by Smith & Williamson comprised 39.4% (2021 – 41.0%) of the total capital assets of the charity, and includes both equities and UK and foreign interest-bearing securities.
Caledonia Investments Plc shareholding
At 31 March 2022, the investment in Caledonia represented 29.0% (2021 – 24.8%) of the total capital assets of the charity. Caledonia reported very strong performance for the year. It reports its performance over a long timescale given its longer-term investment strategy. The Caledonia Net Asset Value (NAV) total return (annualised) over 10 years was 12.2% (2021 – 8.6%), well above the FTSE All share Total Return over the same period of 7.2% (2021 – 6.0%). The company continues to pay an increased dividend each year, and paid a special dividend to shareholders in August 2022, after the charity’s year-end.
Troy Asset Management - Trojan Income Fund
Over the last twelve months the Trojan Income Fund’s unit market price has risen by 6.4% (2021 – 7.7%), and generated an income return of 2.7% (2021 – 2.9%). At the year end, the market value of the funds in the Troy Asset Management Trojan Income Fund comprised 23.8% (2021 – 25.7%) of the total capital assets of the charity.
Risk management
The trustees annually review the risks facing the charity. The charity’s risks mainly relate to investment management and these have been ameliorated by diversified portfolio management. Smith & Williamson Investment Management Limited were appointed on 14 February 2007, and actively manage a diversified portfolio of UK and foreign equities and funds along with UK and foreign interestbearing securities. Further investments were later made into managed funds, thereby introducing another investment manager.
The portfolio performance is reviewed at least annually by the trustees. Regular meetings are held with the portfolio manager at Smith and Williamson.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Elizabeth Cayzer Charitable Trust (‘the Trust’)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). You are satisfied that an audit is not required for this year under charity law and that an independent examination is needed.
I report in respect of my examination of the trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Elizabeth Cayzer Charitable Trust
Notes to the financial statements for the year to 31 March 2022
1. Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 2 October 2019 and the Charities Act 2011.
The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the trust's ability to continue as a going concern, and that there are no key assumptions that affect items in the accounts.
Funds structure
The charity has an expendable endowment fund created by gifts from the Settlor. The trust deed allows the trustees to accumulate income from this fund as an accretion to capital for a period of 21 years. The trust deed allows this fund to be spent as income or retained as capital at the trustees' discretion.
Income arising from the expendable endowment is unrestricted.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Dividends and other income from investments are recognised in the financial statements when the charity is entitled to the income. Income from cash deposits is included on an accruals basis.
Gift aid reclaimable on donations to the charity is included with the amount received.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Grants are charged to the statement of financial activities when paid or when a constructive obligation exists, notwithstanding that they may be paid in future accounting periods. Other expenditure is included in the accounts on an accruals basis.
Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing market price. The statement of financial activites includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT has been charged against the relevant expenditure.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised once the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that it is probable will result in the transfer of funds to a third party, and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
