The Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust

Trustees’ report

The trustees present their annual report and audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 11 and comply with the charity's governing document, statutory requirements, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting for Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS102) applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 2 October 2019.

Trust name

The name of the trust is “The Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust” (also defined in these financial statements as “the charity” or “the trust”).

Structure, governance and management

The trust is a registered charity, number 1064028, and is constituted under a Declaration of Trust dated 7 April 1997 as amended by supplemental deeds dated 3 November 1999, 1 December 2000, 30 December 2003, 1 April 2009, 14 April 2009, 28 August 2012, 12 May 2014, 19 April 2021, 23 September 2023, 8 February 2024, and 1 September 2025.

The charity does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue its charitable aims through donations from the partners of Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP. The trust, from time to time, also receives funds from Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP under the Solicitors Regulation Authority Account Rules.

The trustees who have served during the year are set out on page 1. Trustees are appointed by a decision of the board of trustees {“the board”). To be eligible as a trustee, an individual must be a partner of Squire Patton Boggs (UK} LLP (“the Firm”) at the time of appointment. Trustees who cease to be partners of Squire Patton Boggs {UK) LLP may remain in office, in each case at the discretion of the trustees for the time being of the charity.

The trustees meet as required to assess grant applications and to approve or refuse grants. The policy of the trustees is to balance income and expenditure over given time periods but to keep a limited amount of funds available in order to be able to respond to emergency applications for grants that arise from time to time. There are no restrictions on the charity's power to invest. The strategy is to keep all monies readily available for distribution.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemptions available in relation to disclosure in the Trustees’ Report for smaller charities under SORP 2019.

Objects

To apply the income and all or such of the part or parts of the capital of the charity in a manner to or for the benefit of such exclusively charitable objects and purposes as the trustees may in their discretion deem fit for such good causes.

Review of activities

The charity's income was derived mainly from donations from the partners of Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP. Further donations were received from Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP in the sum of £1,412 (2024: £19,621) representing client residual funds.

The charity supported several nationa! charities working in a wide variety of areas, but in particular, the trustees were pleased to support some smaller charities working locally to the Firm’s offices in Birmingham, London, Leeds and Manchester.

incoming resources during the year ended 5 April 2024 totalled £233,777 (2024: £91,249).

Expenditure during the year totalled £98,224 (2024: £138,439). Expenditure included grants made in the year of £80,799 (2024: £127,884) and professional fees of £17,425 (2024: £10,555).

The Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust

Trustees’ report (continued)

Review of activities (continued)

The charity has adequate resources to continue its work for the foreseeable future.

Achievements and performance

The Charitable Trust supported 146 (2024: 230) causes throughout the year, making an average donation of approximately £553 (2024: approximately £556).

The trustees consider the levels of donations to be satisfactory and sufficient and they are happy to have been able to support charities working with children and young people, the elderly and disabled, and healthcare and research charities, as well as supporting major charitable fundraising initiatives undertaken by the four UK offices of Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP. Generous donations have been made, by single or multiple donations to, for example, The Christie Charity; Cancer Research UK; Parkinson’s Disease UK; Great Ormond Street Hospital; Tameside & Glossop Hospice Limited; Edward’s Trust; Children’s Heart Surgery Fund; Eltiot’s Footprint; Kaleidoscope Plus Group; 42nd Street Community Based Resource for Young People Under Stress; Animals in Distress; Streetgames UK; Give Us Time and People Matter West Yorkshire.

Grant-making policy

The charity has a policy of supporting smaller charities local to the Firm's UK offices whenever possible; however, it also makes donations to national and international charities. The partners and staff of Squire Patton Boggs (UK} LLP are invited to make applications for which charities should be granted payment. The trustees review such requests and if deemed to be in keeping with the charity's purpose, and dependent on available funds, will at their discretion approve such requests. In addition, the trustees have reviewed and made donations in support of 49 charities, which have made unsolicited applications directly to the Trust.

Reserves

Reserves of the charity are not subject to any special restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the charity. The levels of reserves are maintained at an appropriate level to meet the charity’s requirements and are reviewed on an annual basis. At the year-end, the reserves were £217,498 (2024: £81,945).

The charity likes to withhold sufficient reserves to ensure that it can react to future demand for donations from charities, along with being able to react, in a nature in accordance with the size of the charity, when it comes to donating towards future crises as and when they arise. At a special meeting of the trustees held on 3 March 2020, the trustees discussed and agreed that the regular donations from the charity would continue to be capped at £500 unless otherwise agreed. Therefore, at least for the time being and other than in exceptional circumstances, donations from the charity are capped at £500 and this will enable the charity to continue to support other appeals with the funds available to it.

Accordingly, in the current financial year there have been some exceptional donations by the Trust: There were fourteen individual donations equalling or exceeding £1,000 but less than £5,000 and one individual donation equalling or exceeding £5,000.

Risk management

The trustees have examined the major strategic business and operational risks that the charity faces to ensure that systems are in place to monitor them.

The trustees have considered the risks and are happy that sufficient controls are in place to satisfactorily mitigate such risks.

Signatories are in accordance with the bank mandate. All trustees are signatories, and two signatures are required to approve each payment.

Trustees’ report (continued)

Public benefit

During the year, the trustees considered the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission. It was noted that a charitable organisation must be able to demonstrate that its aims are for the public benefit and that there must be compliance with two principles:-

The first principle is that there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits. As a grant making charity the charity has clear purposes, set out in its governing deed, which it fulfils through its grant making programmes. The benefits are identifiable in the activities undertaken by the grant beneficiaries in delivering their own charitable objectives with funds provided by the charity.

The second principle requires that the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public. The appropriateness of the beneficiaries to the aims of the charity are assessed by the application process and in cases needing additional attention, through enquiries raised by the secretary or trustees. The trustees are conscious of the need to ensure, as far as they can, that a section of the public benefiting is not unreasonably restricted. In appropriate cases the examination of financial statements and the beneficiaries’ approach to finance, enable the trustees to assess adequately for their purposes any questions that may arise over restrictions flowing from the charging of fees by beneficiary charities. The same analysis enables the trustees to assess the issue of potential exclusion of those in poverty. Private benefit is unlikely to be an issue in the grant making activities of this trust, but the trustees are aware of the need to keep an eye open for this risk.

This report already contains a summary of the objects of this charity, a summary of its main activities and a record of its achievements in relation to its objects by reference to grant making.

The trustees are aware that the Charities Act 2011 brought in an obligation to require trustees to report on the charity's public benefit. The above section is intended to meet that requirement. The trustees are aware that when planning the charity's activities, they must have regard to the Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They confirm that they have had such regard.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports} Regulations 2008 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.

Independent auditors’ report to the trustees ofThe Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust

Report on the audit ofthe financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements, included within the Trustees’ report and financial statements (the “Annual Report”), which comprise: the Balance Sheet as at 5 April 2025; the Statement of financial activities for the year then ended; the Statement of accounting policies; and the notes to 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 ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remained independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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 the date on which the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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.

However, because not ali future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Reporting on other information

The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financia) statements, 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 audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 based on these responsibilities.

6

The Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust

Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Charities Act 2011 requires us also to report certain opinions and matters as described below.

Trustees’ Report

Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit

Responsibilities of the Trusteesfor thefinancial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees’ responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The trustees are also responsible for such internal control as they 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.

Auditors’ responsibilitiesfor the audit of thefinancial statements

We are eligible to act and have been appointed as auditors 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 materia] 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.

Based on our understanding of the charity/industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the Declaration of Trust, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and relevant regulations made or having an effect thereunder, including The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. We evaluated the incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) by the trustees and those responsible for, or involved in, the preparation of the financial statements, and determined that the principal risks were related to misappropriation of assets through unapproved or inappropriate payments. Audit procedures performed included:

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www. fre.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report.

The Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust

Statement of accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting for Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS102) applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 2 October 2019.

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 Accounting and Reporting for Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of treland (FRS 102) issued on 2 October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Board of Trustees have reviewed the current level of reserves and cash balances of the trust and consider that there are sufficient cash resources for at least the next twelve months from the date of signature of the financial statements to manage any foreseeable reduction in the donations made by the partners of Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP (“SPB”) . The Board also considers that given the trust has minimal operating expenses and no fixed costs there is a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future based on future expected cash flows. In the unlikely event that donations from the partners of SPB ceased the trustees would manage grant payment levels to ensure sufficient cash & reserve balances, and for this reason the Board continues to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis in preparing the financial statements.

There are no current plans or intentions to change the !egal status of the Trust.

The charity is exempt from preparing a Cash Flow Statement, as it meets the definition of a small entity.

(b) Income recognition

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

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 bank.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts are recognised at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

The charity is a registered charity, and as such applies available tax exemptions on income and profits from investments.

"1

The Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust

Statement of accounting policies (continued)

(c) Expenditure recognition

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

(d) Cash & Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or fess.

The Squire Patton Boggs Charitable Trust

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2025

1 Critical judgements and estimation uncertainty

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. The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates may, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

These costs were reimbursed by Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP on 9 October 2025.

7 Related party transactions

Under charity law the trustees are prohibited from acquiring any financial benefit from the charity. The charity may make grants to organisations with which the trustees may be associated. However, none of the trustees have a significant influence over the related organisation. At 5 April 2024 there were no outstanding donations due from Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP, a limited liability partnership in which all the trustees are members (2024: Enil).

The trustees during the year may donate to the charity on the same terms as all the contributing partners of Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP. Their donations are disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements.

During the year, the charity made no donations (2024: fnil) which resulted ina membership benefit for Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP or its members.

8 Commitments and contingent liabilities.

At S April 2025 the charity had no commitments not provided for in the financial statements (2024: £nil).

The trust provides an indemnity to Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP in relation to certain funds donated under the Solicitors Regulation Authority Account Rules. Funds covered by this indemnity as at 5 April 2025 amounted to £nil (2024: £14,896). It is not foreseeable that Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP will claim under this indemnity therefore no provision has been made in the financial statements.
