JULIAN TAYLOR CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 5 April 2022.
The legal and administrative information forms part of this report.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charitable trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019)
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charitable trust are to apply the income of the charitable trust fund and such parts of the capital of the trust fund as the trustees think fit for the following purposes:
“for or towards such charitable purposes and in such proportions and in such manner and subject to such terms as the trustees think fit.”
The trustees confirm that they have given careful consideration to the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regards to the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Achievements and performance
Grants are primarily given to, but are not restricted to, charities meeting widely different charitable purposes within and on behalf of the Jewish community both in the UK and abroad.
The trustees are pleased to note that the year was successful in terms of the number of grants and the amount of funds awarded. During the year 28 grants were awarded totalling £82,860 as shown in note 6 to the accounts. The trustees feel that the trust has been effective and fulfilled its objectives.
Financial review
The total incoming resources and resources expended for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 4. The total incoming resources amounted to £149,745 and further details can be found in notes 2 and 3.
The total resources expended amount to £93,981 and further details can be found in notes 4 and 5.
Reserves policy
The trustees have built up the unrestricted funds to a level, (£1,710,836 at the balance sheet date), where they propose to seek to make significant grants, whilst maintaining at the very least a minimal level of unrestricted funds sufficient to meet the governance costs for the next year. The trustees keep this reserves policy under review and are building reserves for the longer term to enable the charity to continue to make a similar level of charitable grants on an annual basis in for as many years as possible in the event that the donations decrease. The reserves also remain high in part from unrealised profits on investments which may not materialise in the current economic circumstances. This level of reserves allows the charity to consider significant grants should the need arise.

JULIAN TAYLOR CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Julian Taylor Charitable Trust is constituted as a Charitable Trust under a Trust Deed dated 18 March 1996.
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charitable trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charitable trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charitable trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charitable trust . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charitable trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Dividends on investments are credited to the accounts at the time payment is due and are accounted for net of any non repayable tax credit.
Bank interest is accounted for gross when receivable.
Donations are accounted for when received.
Gift aid in respect of donations is accounted for when receivable.

(Continued)
1.5 Resources expended
Resources expended are 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. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes irrecoverable VAT.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes grants payable to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charitable trust , together with governance costs.
Governance costs comprise costs involved in the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. The direct costs of accountancy and the independent examination (when required) have been charged to governance costs.
1.6 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
Current asset investments are stated at market value.
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their carrying value. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charitable trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable trust 's balance sheet when the charitable trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charitable trust transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable trust ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9 Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
