HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024.

The Charity has sufficient liquid reserves and expected positive future cash inflows and therefore the impact of the current economic climate is not deemed to affect the going concern status of the Foundation.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

a. Policies and objectives

The Charity was established by a declaration of trust on 8th January 1997 (as amended on 5 June 2018) with an initial donation totalling £750,000. The objectives of the Charity are to hold the initial donation and the income tax repaid to the Trustees in respect of such sum as the permanent endowment of the Charity and to apply the income therefrom for such charitable purpose or purposes as the Trustees shall decide from time to time.

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

Any additions by way of gift to the Charity and the income therefrom are to be applied for such charitable purposes as the Trustees shall decide from time to time, unless the donor of any such gift shall specify in writing at the time of such gift that the whole or any part thereof is an addition to the permanent endowment of the Charity in which case the Trustees shall apply the income therefrom for the objectives of the Charity.

The Trustees keep in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and at the Trustees' meetings at which grants are considered and approved.

c. Grant-making policies

We are a family foundation supporting small and medium sized charities, working predominantly with the most vulnerable in society. We focus on issues that reflect the passions and personal values of the Trustees including: education and skills, human rights, housing, mental health, women and children and the arts. We support community-led organisations working directly with people at the margins of society and with charities in the early stages of development looking for seed funding.

While we have no specific geographic restrictions, we look to support appropriate charities local to our Trustees including Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, East Sussex and Kent. We make one-off donations but prefer to commit to funding for specific projects over a number of years.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

a. Review of activities

The Trustees identified a range of causes during the year to which it was decided to make grants in total of £840,600 (2023: £498,408).

b. Fundraising activities and income generation

The Hollick Family are currently the sole donors. This includes donations made within the terms of an agreement dated 31st December 2017. The Charity does not fundraise from the public.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)

c. Investment policy and performance

The investment powers are governed by Clause C of the constituting declaration of trust, which gives a wide range of permitted investments.

The endowment funds are invested in equities, bonds, property and artworks, with a view to long-term capital growth and sustainable levels of income to fund the Charity's activities.

An investment property is held by the Charity for rental income and long-term appreciation. The names of the Trustees holding title to the property on behalf of the Charity were Lord C. R. Hollick and Lady S W Hollick. No investments are greater than 10% of the total investment fund.

As required under the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities, quoted investments are stated at market value. The net of the gain on revaluation and gain on disposal of all investments was £1,867,368 (2023: loss of £1,641,704).

The Charity received donations of £3,774,858 (2023: £3,552,727) including gift aid, investment income in the form of dividend income £823,554 (2023: £547,987) and rental income £37,867 (2023: £26,875). The Charity made 108 donations totalling £840,600 (2023: 83 donations totalling £498,408).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

b. Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the Charity, at a level which equates to one year's expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs to respond to applications for grants as they arise. The unrestricted general income fund at the year end was £476,921 (2023: £396,228) compared to support costs of £62,236 (2023: £79,497), excluding grants paid out.

c. Material investments policy

The investment policy is to generate income for distribution for charitable purposes and to aim for steady capital growth.

d. Principal funding

Lord C. R. Hollick is the principal funder.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Hollick Family Foundation (the 'Charity') for the year ended 5 April 2024 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).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 January 2019.

This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Charity 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 Charity'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.

Page 7

HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION (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.

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity'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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 8

HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the highest area of risk to be in relation to revenue recognition, with a particular risk in relation to the completeness of income in respect of investments. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

We have also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011, Charities SORP 2019 and FRS 102.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Charity’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. These included data protection legislation and health and safety regulations.

Page 9

HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

We also communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all members of the engagement team and remained alert to possible indicators of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

As a result of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that not all irregularities, including a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation, will be detected by us. This risk increases the further removed compliance with a law and regulation is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, given we will be less likely to be aware of it, or should the irregularity occur as a result of fraud rather than a one-off error, as this may involve 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.

USE OF OUR REPORT

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and its Trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Hollick Family Foundation is a Charity in England. The address of the Charity information is on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Charity's operations and principal activities are to hold donations from Trustees and to apply the income there from such charitable purpose or purposes as the Trustees shall decide from time to time.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Hollick Family Foundation 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.

2.2 INCOME

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

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 the economic benefit from the use by 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.

2.3 EXPENDITURE

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with contitutional and statutory requirements.

Page 14

HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED)

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

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

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.4 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.

2.5 FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting 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.

2.6 INVESTMENTS

Fixed and Current 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 values 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.

2.7 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.

2.8 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 pre-tax discount 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.

Page 15

HOLLICK FAMILY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.9 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.

2.10 FUND ACCOUNTING

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

2.11 PERMANENT CAPITAL ENDOWMENT FUND

The permanent endowment capital fund represents the original donation received and any subsequent restricted donations, together with any related credit (tax recoverable).

In accordance with the wishes of the donor, these funds are to be held permanently although their constituent assets may change from time to time. Additionally, income derived from the permanent capital endowment fund may be applied for such charitable purposes as the Trustees shall decide from time to time.

The revaluation reserve fund represents unrealised gains and losses on revaluation of investments to market value in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

2.12 INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually by the Trustees derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estates, adjusted if necessary for the difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific assets. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities at each reporting date.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT

Estimates and judgements 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. This includes the valuation of the investment property.
