## **The Maurice Glanville Trust Trustees' Report**
We are pleased to present our report together with the independently examined statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025.
The legal and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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).
## **History, objectives and activities of the Trust**
The Maurice Glanville Trust was formed by a declaration of trust on 4 October 1996. The Trust was started with a transfer of investments by the late Gertrude Ann Glanville in memory of her husband, the late Maurice Frank Glanville. Ann Glanville died on 3 February 2013 and left a legacy in the form of investments. Both the initial donation and additional amounts donated since have been under terms which allow the trustees to invest the capital and any funds representing income which are not required for immediate application in any manner permitted by law at their absolute discretion.
The trust deed gives the trustees the power to invest the capital and apply the income in or towards the upkeep, repair and improvement of the fabric of the 13th century parish church of St John, Long Street, Devizes in such ways as they think fit.
In the event that the church building ceases to exist, or ceases to be used for a charitable purpose consistent with the principles of the Church of England, the capital and income of the Trust are to be applied for other charitable purposes consistent with the principles of the Church of England in the Diocese of Salisbury, as the trustees think most suitable as a memorial to the late Maurice Glanville.
## **Management and governance arrangements**
The Trust deed states that there should be at least three and not more than five individual trustees, and that at least two of the trustees must be members of the Church of England. The trustees in office are empowered to appoint any new trustees by resolution.
The trustees annually review the risks that the charity faces. To date these have mainly related to investment management and these have been ameliorated by the engagement of the services of professional fund managers.
## **Procedures and policy for grant making**
The Parochial Church Council, which is the body legally responsible for the fabric of the church, approaches the trustees with requests for contributions when they have projects that need to be implemented. The trustees meet up to discuss the requests and grants are made if the projects are in line with the trust's objectives.

**The Maurice Glanville Trust Trustees' Report**
## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit**
The objectives of the Trust are to maintain the fabric of the parish church of St John, Long Street, Devizes for the enjoyment of that parish. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning grant making for the year.
## **Achievements and performance of the Trust**
The aim of the trustees is to make the best use of the funds available to satisfy its objectives. The grants made during the year were:
|**Amount**|**Details**|
|---|---|
|**£**||
|2,246|QI work|
|600|Roof maintenance & inspection|
|1,110|Roof alarm maintenance contract|
|4,618|Church insurance|
|8,574||
## **Financial review**
The trust's quoted investments decreased by £11,428 during the year to £686,036. The trustees are satisfied with the position of the Trust at the balance sheet date and with the relative performance of the investment fund during the year.
## _Investment policy_
Under the trust deed, the trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit, subject to first seeking the advice of a financial expert. Accordingly, the trustees have delegated management of the Trust's investments to J M Finn & Co, specifying a medium risk profile with investment restrictions applying to Tobacco and Breweries and with equal emphasis given to income and capital growth.
## _Reserves policy_
The trust deed requires the trustees to use the income of the Trust in promoting its objects. The use of the Trust's reserves is wholly at the discretion of the trustees, with no particular level of reserves required to be maintained.
## **Future Plans**
The trustees anticipate making appropriate grants when requested by the PCC.

## **The Maurice Glanville Trust Trustees' Report**
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity, and its financial activities for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies that are reasonable and prudent;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any 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 operational existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust Deed. 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.
## **Members of the Trustee Board**
Members of the Trustee Board, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 2.
We certify that so far as we are aware, the independent examiner has been made aware of all relevant information.

**The Maurice Glanville Trust Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 5 April 2025**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibilty to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the previous year.
## _**Basis of accounting**_
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified to include the revaluation of fixed asset investments.

The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
## _**Fund accounting**_
The charity has a permanent endowment fund created by gifts from the late Gertrude Ann Glanville. These donations have been made under terms which allow the trustees to invest the capital and any funds representing income which are not required for immediate application in any manner permitted by law at their absolute discretion.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in its grant-making activities for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
