THE DEREK RAPHAEL CHARITABLE TRUST

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022

The Trustees present their report together with the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Constitution

The Trust was founded on 30 June 1997 and is regulated in accordance with a Deed signed and sealed on 30 June 1997. The founder has the power in accordance with clause 17 to wind up the charity.

Trustees

Following the death of D N Raphael Trustee and founder of the Charity, in accordance with clause 2.4(c) of the Deed, the three of the Trustees of the Charity will jointly fill the role of founder.

E M Raphael, Mrs A D Raphael (Chair) P Raphael

The management of the charity is vested in the trustees who meet on a regular basis. There are no other officers or employees of the charity and the charity is grateful for the continued support that it receives from Derek Raphael (Holdings) Limited for administration support provided by its employees.

Appointment of trustees

The appointment of trustees is vested in the founder in accordance with clause 9 of the Trust Deed. The maximum number of trustees shall not exceed five.

Trustee induction and training

New trustees would be briefed by the managing trustee on the history, present day and future of the charity and presented with a copy of the Trust Deed, latest accounts, the Charity Commission publications “The essential trustee” (CC3) and “Charity Governance Code” and any other relevant documentation that may be available from time to time.

Risk management

The trustees actively review the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to manage those risks.

Objectives & activities

The charity was formed by the Founder (settlor), D N Raphael Esq deceased, for such charitable purposes as the Founder may direct as well as the advancement of education in the arts. The Founder and his fellow trustees acted together in making the decisions regarding all charitable donations made under the terms of the Deed. Undisposed income at the 5 April in the income tax year following that in which the income arises shall be disposed of by way of donations towards charitable institutions for charitable purposes at such times and in such manner as the trustees shall in their discretion think fit.

The Trustees take a proactive approach in their grant making and funds are largely committed to causes and charities already known to the Trustees these being a broad range of local, national and international charities.

The Trustees have limited time and administrative resources and the constraints that this puts on the Trustees regrettably means that they are unable to reply to unsolicited requests for support .

Achievements and Performance Charitable activities

The trustees have continued to make donations to a wide variety of charities out of income and reserves. During the year the trustees distributed £170,765 (2021: £129,061) to charitable organisations. The charity does not actively undertake fundraising activities.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

Financial Review & Reserves

Income received from quoted investments and cash funds during the year increased from £15,618 to £34,753. A dividend of £832,640 was received from unquoted equities. By use of the brought forward reserves and income received during the year the trustees have continued to make donations to a wide variety of charities. During the year the trustees distributed £170,765 (2021: £129,061) to various charitable organisations.

During the year, the net charity value increased by £368,940 (2021 increase: £1,712,138). £510,515 of the increase has arisen from an increase in market value of the charity’s investments.

At the year end the charities net current assets were £5,418,231 (2021: £5,049,291).

Investment policy

The Trust Deed confers the powers of investment on the trustees. Money to be invested may be applied or invested in the purchase of shares, stocks, funds, securities, land, buildings, chattels or other investments or property of any nature and in any part of the world, and whether involving liabilities or producing income or not. The investments made are at the trustees’ discretion as they think fit and to the intent that the trustees shall have the same powers in all respects as if they were absolute owners beneficially entitled.

At the year-end approximately 95.2% (2021: 93.1%) of the net assets were invested in equities & unit trusts with the balance in sterling cash deposits. The trustees’ have a policy of keeping any surplus funds in cash deposits and low risk securities.

No decision has been made as to whether any future investments will be in accordance with ethical guidelines.

Reserves and Covid-19

It is the aim of the trustees to generate a level of reserves to carry out the objectives of the trust using income received or drawing on reserves when income streams are lower.

However, due to the nature of the funding streams, the level of funds (reserves) available for giving in any year is governed by the income received during the year together with any undistributed income brought forward from previous years. Due to the nature of the trading activities of the Company and its’ subsidiaries, the regularity and amounts of dividends received from the investment in unlisted shares are not guaranteed. The current indications are that during the next financial year no dividends will be received from the charity’s unquoted shares.

At the year end approximately £263,617 (4.9%) (2021: £346,372 (6.9%)) of the Charities net current assets were held in cash. Interest received during the year was nil (2021: £nil). The remaining assets are invested in equities or unitised funds.

The Trust’s free reserves which are deemed to be readily available to spend at the year-end were £5,308,489 (2021: £4,936,549). This is calculated as the reserves of the charity less the holding in investments from unlisted shares. The trustees are satisfied that the resources are available and adequate to meet the current level of expenditure by the trust.

The trustees have considered the impact that Covid-19 will have on the Trust and operationally they consider that there will be no impact on the Trust.

The Trust has no Covid-19 related employment concerns as the Trust has no employees.

All funds are unrestricted.

Public Benefit

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.

The investments in UK unquoted equities is in respect of an investment of 112,742 £1 Ordinary Shares in Derek Raphael (Holdings) Limited (2021: £112,742). The shares were valued in early 2007 at £19, however due to the specialised nature and operational methods of the trading activities of the Company and its’ subsidiaries the trustees are of the opinion that this valuation would not give a true reflection on the value of the charity. The trustees consider that the inclusion of the shares at their par value of £1 each is a fair valuation of the holding for the purpose of these accounts. The managing trustee is the chairman and controlling party of Derek Raphael (Holdings) Limited.
