ROPNER TRUST
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
5 APRIL 2022
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Objectives and Activities
The charity was established on 4 June 1928 by the late Leonard Ropner and was originally known as the Ropner Playing Field Trust. The only asset of the Trust was a field off Bishopton Road West, Stockton on Tees, which had lain dormant for many years due to lack of funds. The Trust’s original aims were mainly educational and it provided playing fields for schools in the town which did not have their own. However, as more schools acquired their own playing fields, the land became superfluous and redundant.
In 1993 the Trust decided to sell off the land to developers and, with the approval of the Charity Commission drew up a new constitution. Since that date the aims of the Trust have been, and continue to be, as follows:
Promoting the education (including social and physical training) of persons under the age of 25 years old who are in need of financial assistance and who are, or whose parents are, resident in Stockton on Tees.
Subject thereto for charitable purposes for the general benefit of the inhabitants of Stockton on Tees in one of the following ways; or in such other ways as the Trustees think fit:
-
(a) The relief of the aged, impotent and poor;
-
(b) The relief of distress and sickness;
-
(c) The provision of support with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants of Stockton on Tees in the interests of social welfare of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation;
-
(d) The provision of support and educational facilities.
The Trustees may apply income for charitable purposes either directly or by way of donations or subscriptions to institutions or organisations which apply, or which undertake in return to apply, the whole or part of their income for the same charitable purposes as the trust.
The Trustees are satisfied that the Trust is widely known within the local environment where it operates. It is known within the local Education Authority and amongst Health Professionals. The Trustees are currently of the view that no advertising is required with regard to the Trust’s objectives as it is very well sustained by applicants with regard to funding etc.
The Trustees have considerable freedom with regard to donations under their Trust Deed (Scheme) and may either dispose of all of their current income or any part of it to one or many applicants. In general the Trustees deal with over 30 applications per annum giving grants having considered the applications specifically and in detail.
The Trustees regularly review the objectives and activities of the charity, and, as part of this review, have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
Public Benefit Statement
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Strategic Report
Achievements and Performance
Since inception in 1996 the Trust has funded in excess of £1,000,000 to local bodies and individuals within its geographical area of competence. The Trust has funded numerous capital projects for the benefit of the geographical area and is now a well-known and fully established part of the charitable infrastructure within its area (Stockton on Tees).
The Trust seeks to respond to applicants in as short a time as possible but no longer than three months (the time between quarterly meetings as a rule). Background research is carried out with regard to applicants and applicants may, on occasion, be invited to discuss their application before the Trustees in person. All applicants are responded to in writing.
A very limited number of grants are cancelled (due to changes of personal circumstances on the part of the applicant).
Financial Review
The Trust relies on its income from its investments (the current year is as set out in the accounts attached).
During the year the total resources expended on Charitable Activities was £33,001.
In the year to 5 April 2022 the Trustees have dealt with 13 applications for assistance and distributed the sum of £28,696 representing 10 individual grants as follows:
No Value 2 £5,000+ 1 £2,000 - £4,999 2 £1,000 - £1,999 5 £0 - £999 __ 10
Such awards all fell within the provisions specified as Application of Income under Clause 25 of the Scheme.
The Trustees individually played a full part in the operation of the Trust during the year.
The Trustees are again extremely grateful to Mr. John Wilson for carrying out the duties of Honorary Secretary to the Trust for another year without reward. Those duties have been carried out most efficiently by him and have been invaluable in enabling the Trustees to carry out their duties to the high standard required by them.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity to retain sufficient funds in reserve to cover immediate foreseeable management and administration costs. The charity’s income flows in steadily through the year and charitable grants are paid as surplus funds become available.
As at 5 April 2022, there were reserves of £72,233, of which £20,551 were unrestricted funds available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

The balance of £51,682 are designated funds, representing a donation received from Fairfield and District Association.
Plans for the Future
The Ropner Trust intends to continue to provide philanthropic and monetary assistance particularly in the fields of education and those other areas as allowed by the Trust’s scheme within the Stockton on Tees geographical area.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The Governing document is a Trust and Scheme sealed by the Charity Commission on 25 March 1996 details of which are given below:
Nature and Constitution
The charity was established by Declaration of Trust on 4 June 1928 as the Ropner Playing Fields Trust. The objects of the charity were revised by Trust Deed on 25 March 1996 when the name of the Trust was also changed to Ropner Trust.
Risk Management
The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. The Trustees consider the vacillations of the investment market with regard to endowment funds to constitute the charity’s major risk and they have appointed atomos to advise upon and manage (also in accordance with their Trust Deed) the resources available. The management of the resources is considered quarterly by the Trustees and annually in depth with particular advice from the charity’s accountants.
Key Management Personnel Remuneration
The Trustees consider that the Board of Trustees are the key management personnel of the charity, in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year.
The nominated Trustees serve for a term of four years each and are re-nominated by the Secretary to Stockton Borough Council (as successor to Cleveland County Council which was the previous Local Education Authority at the date of inception). The co-opted Trustees serve for a period of five years each and are appointed or reappointed by resolution of the Trustees.
The current Trustees are familiar with the practical work of the charity and are encouraged to read and assimilate the information distributed by the Charity Commission.
The Trustees keep the skill requirements of their general Trustee Body under review and in the event that a Trustee permanently retires or a new Trustee is required the remaining Trustees (in the case of co-opted Trustees) seek to find and recruit a new Trustee (either by open advertisement or through dialogue with local organisations and businesses) who has the required skills and experience necessary to adequately perform the post of Trustee. In the case of nominated Trustees the Local Education Committee is asked to consider the matter of reappointment or appointment of Trustees again taking into account their background, abilities and experience particularly in the educational sphere
All new Trustees are provided with the Charity Commission’s Guide “the Essential Trustee” as a follow-up to an induction session with the Chairman of the Trustees. New Trustees also receive a copy of the original scheme and Trust Deed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) General Information and Basis of Preparation
Ropner Trust is an unincorporated Trust, constituted in the United Kingdom, on 4 June 1928. A new constitution was drawn up in 1993. The contact address is given in the charity information on page four of these financial statements.
The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are reliant on the income from investments to make contributions towards, or otherwise assist the promotion of education of young persons who are in need of financial assistance and who are, or whose parents are, resident in Stockton on Tees. This is done through the careful stewardship of its existing resources.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
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 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) issued 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.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS102 Section 1A.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
(b) Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives on the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally investments. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.

ROPNER TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5 APRIL 2022
(c) Income Recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares. It includes dividends and interest. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.
(d) Expenditure Recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Costs of raising funds includes investment management charges.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes governance costs and costs incurred in the application of income.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grant. Where grants are conditional relative to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside the control of the charity.
(e) Support Costs Allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
The analysis of these costs is included in notes 4 to 8.
(f) Investments
Investments are stated at market value, including accrued interest on Fixed Interest Securities, at the balance sheet date.
The endowment fund includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
The trust does not acquire or use put options, derivatives or other complex financial arrangements.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub-sectors.
Page 9
ROPNER TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5 APRIL 2022
(f) Investments - continued
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the SOFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
Current asset investments are short term highly liquid investments and are held at fair value. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year.
(g) Debtors and Creditors - Receivable / Payable Within One Year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price.
(h) Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011.
(i) Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
