PETER HARRISON FOUNDATION
Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 May 2025
The Trustees of the Peter Harrison Foundation present their report together with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2025. 1. Structure, governance and management The Peter Harrison Foundation is an independent grant-making trust that supports registered charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) in the United Kingdom. The Foundation was established by trust deed on 29 April 1999 with an original gift of £1,000 as the initial endowment fund. A donation from the founder of £386,401 was credited to unrestricted income funds in the financial period to 31 May 2000.
During the year to 31 May 2001, the Foundation was gifted £30,000,000 of loan notes on 10 October 2000 by the Peter Harrison KGCN CBE family settlements. The Trustees encashed the loan notes on 15 April 2001. During the year to 31 May 2002 a further endowment of £590,417 was gifted by the Peter Harrison KGCN CBE family settlements, which has been credited to the expendable endowment fund.
On 9 March 2011 a further £15,000,000 was gifted by the Peter Harrison A Settlement Discretionary Fund. These gifts have been added to the original endowment fund for investment and generation of income for annual distribution. The endowment gift fund may be distributed at the Trustees’ discretion, but the current policy is to maintain the value of this capital while distributing income of approximately £1.5 million annually for charitable purposes. The Foundation’s wholly owned subsidiary company PHF Investments Limited holds investment properties and loans for property development. Profits made by PHF Investments Limited are donated to the Foundation. PHF Investments Limited’s loans for property development are held with Chancerygate Limited and Chancerygate Investment Property Limited and the investment properties are managed by Chancerygate Limited. Both Chancerygate Limited and Chancerygate Investment Property Limited are related parties, details of which are disclosed in note 13 to the financial statements. The Trustees meet four times a year when they review the operation of the Foundation and consider grant applications. The Trustees delegate the day to day running of the Foundation to the Foundation Director who reports to the Trustees. A small team of staff supports the Director and during the year there was one part-time Grants Administrator. The Trustees devote time and effort to keep abreast of the latest developments in the charitable sector. The founder and former Chairman of the Foundation passed away on 18 June 2021. Peter was generous, warm hearted and is much missed by his family and fellow Trustees as well as many of the beneficiaries of the Foundation's grants. The Foundation lives on in memory of Peter and the current Trustees continue the work he began with such generosity of spirit.
Since its founding, all Trustees of PHF have been family members. Following the passing of Peter Harrison in 2021, the Trustees recognised the need to bring in new, independent members to the Board. This decision aimed to not only expand the number of people involved but also to enhance the skills and experience within the Board.
To achieve this, the Trustees conducted a skills audit to identify the Board's strengths and areas for improvement. A role description was then developed, detailing the responsibilities, time commitment, and specific skills and experience required. A comprehensive recruitment pack was also created, providing information about the Foundation, the role of Trustees, and the skills being sought.
Our recruitment strategy prioritised attracting individuals with diverse perspectives and expertise aligned with the charity’s mission and strategic objectives. Trustee vacancies were advertised across public platforms, charity sector networks, and through our own contacts to ensure a broad and diverse pool of candidates.
Candidates were shortlisted by the recruitment committee, and those selected were invited to interview with the full Board. Following this selection process two new trustees were appointed on 15 October 2024. Upon appointment, the new Trustees underwent a comprehensive induction process, including meetings with staff and current Trustees, and a thorough introduction to the charity’s governance framework, policies, financial standing, and key activities. Trustees also receive published guidance from the Charity Commission. Ongoing training and development opportunities are provided to ensure Trustees remain informed and effective in their roles.
As outlined in the Trustees’ terms of reference, independent Trustees are required to commit to a minimum term of three years, with the possibility of serving up to nine years across three consecutive terms. Family Trustees, however, do not have a time limit on their tenure. All Trustees serve in a voluntary capacity, adhering to the charity’s conflict of interest policies and regularly declaring any relevant interests.
Remuneration of key management personnel is set at a level which promotes staff morale and retention whilst bearing in mind the charitable purposes of the Foundation. Remuneration is reviewed annually by one of the Trustees.

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 May 2025 (continued)
PETER HARRISON FOUNDATION
- Objectives and activities Under the terms of the Trust Deed, the objects of the Foundation are wide and provide that funds are “applied for such charitable institutions or such other objects which are charitable in accordance with the laws of England and Wales as the Trustees may in their absolute discretion select.” The Foundation's vision, mission and objectives are set out below: The Foundation's vision is a society in which all people have access to opportunities to achieve their potential. Its mission is to improve lives by supporting opportunities that enable people who are physically, mentally, socially or economically disadvantaged to achieve their potential.
The Foundation's objectives are to support inspiring and entrepreneurial organisations and projects that create a legacy that improves lives by providing access to opportunities that enable people who are physically, mentally, socially or economically disadvantaged to achieve their potential. The Trustees have also articulated four key values of the Foundation: ‘ Excellence - Supporting and implementing best practice. - Entrepreneurship - Operating with ambition, inspiration and determination, * Integrity - Acting responsibly, respectfully, reflectively and transparently. ‘ Sustainability - Empowering stakeholders to deliver a lasting legacy. During the year the Trustees’ strategies for achieving the objectives of the Foundation were to: * investigate thoroughly all requests for grants; ‘fund projects that meet the Foundation’s objectives and embody the Foundation's values; ‘maintain the value of the endowment fund; * maximise income; and, ‘ distribute income of approximately £1.5 million per annum.
Programmes
During the year the Foundation had three principal grant-making programmes:
a) Opportunities through sport and physical activity
The Foundation supported projects that create access to opportunities for sport and physical activity at a grassroots level that enable people across the UK who are physically, mentally, socially or economically disadvantaged to develop personal and life skills to fulfil their potential. Applications were accepted from charities and CASCs throughout the United Kingdom. Grant awards for this programme were usually up to £30,000. b) Positive futures for children and young people
The Foundation supported projects that enhance the lives of children and young people in deprived areas of the Southeast who are physically, mentally, or socially disadvantaged. Applications were accepted from charities and CASCs in the following counties: Berkshire; Buckinghamshire; Hampshire; Isle of Wight; Kent; Oxfordshire; Surrey; East Sussex; and West Sussex. Grant awards for this programme were usually up to £30,000.
c) Trustees’ Discretion
This programme supports projects of particular interest to the Trustees that may fall outside the Foundation’s main programmes; such funding is still in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. A part of this programme supports the provision of educational facilities and bursary places for children within an 8 mile radius of Reigate Grammar School to enable them to attend the school. The Trustees do not invite applications to this programme.
Grant-making policy
The Foundation only makes grants to registered UK charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs).
During the year the Trustees made grants according to publicly available guidelines that set out the details of the grant-making programmes and the application process. This information, an eligibility checker and an initial application form could be found on the Foundation’s website at www.peterharrisonfoundation.org. All outline projects that met the funding criteria were assessed by the Director and the Grants Administrator. The Director then undertakes a full review, often includinga call or a site visit, for the purpose of assessing grant applications under consideration. A shortlist of applications were invited to submit more detailed information to be considered by Trustees. The Director prepared reports on all applications for consideration by the Trustees and grants were approved by the Trustees. During the last year 8% of grant applications were successful in being approved by the Trustees.
Ongoing projects are monitored on a regular basis and grantees are asked to submit a report on completed projects.

3. Achievements and performance (continued)
Trustees' Discretion: Other £243,000
Grants were made to 30 charities, the largest donations of which were:
£125,000 to Community Foundation for Surrey: Peter Harrison Foundation Community Fund
£30,000 to Theodora Children's Charity; towards Giggle Doctor visits at the Royal Marsden Hospital
£25,000 to The Orpheus Centre Trust: towards The Orpheus Sewage System
The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing their vision, mission and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the vision, mission and objectives they have set. The Trustees believe that, taken together, these grants meet the objective of supporting inspiring and entrepreneurial organisations and projects that create a legacy that improves lives by providing access to opportunities that enable people who are physically, mentally, socially or economically disadvantaged to achieve their potential.
4. Future plans
During the year, the Trustees undertook a comprehensive review of our grantmaking approach, informed by informal consultations with both grant seekers and current grantees. This examination followed an unprecedented demand for support, with only about 7% of applications being successful, Trustees recognise the time and resources organisations invest in preparing grant applications and want to avoid charities spending their valuable time on applications when the likelihood of success is so low. The Foundation’s revised funding strategy is designed to improve our impact and strengthen our ability to deliver our charitable objectives. Our mission remains clear: to empower individuals with disabilities or significant disadvantages to reach their full potential.
Our refreshed approach emphasises building capacity within the charitable sector through a dual-layered funding model:
-
Capacily-building organisations will reccive awards to deliver waining, resources, and development support to grass rools organisations at regional or national level. We aim to provide fewer but larger multiyear grants to organisations.
-
Grassroots organisations will benefit from both capacity-building support and direct funding to create life-changing opportunities within their communities.
The Foundation will operate on an invitation-only basis, and we expect this approach to remain in place for the foresecable future. Foundation staff will proactively identify partners whose missions align with our goal of supporting life-changing opportunities for those most in need. We anticipate that initially most of our partners will be organisations that have previously received funding from the Foundation.
Foundation staff will monitor progress against agreed objectives and gather feedback to refine our approach over time. We are committed to listening, adapting, and working responsively to cnsure our support delivers the greatest possible impact.
We will continue to share updatcs through our website.
5. Financial review
The financial statements consolidate the results of the Foundation with those of its subsidiary, PHF Investments Limited, for the year ended 31 May 2025.

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 May 2025 (continued)
§. Financial review (continued)
(iii) Investments
The Trustees’ overall investment objective is to achicve sufficicnt total returns to fund ils existing grant programme whilst also protecting the capital value of its assets for the benefit of future beneficiaries.
The Foundation's principal investments comprise investment properties, property development loans and managed investment funds. To take advantage of[the][relatively][high][interest][rales][currently][ available][£12,306,576][(2024:][£6,319,692)][of][ the][Foundation's cash][is][ managed][ by] Cazenove Capital. Investment propertics are bought and soid depending on market conditions and opportunities arising. No propertics were bought or sold during the year, There was a £300,000 lass (2024: £75,000 gain) in the valuation of the properties, with one properly accounting for £250,000 of the loss, the fall reflecting a reduction in current investment yields for the particular business carried out at that property . The Trustees are fully aware of market volatility but are also conscious thal the Foundation's properties are mainly held to provide income to fund the charity's grant programme and are prepared to take a long term view. The Trustees continue to monitor the position, balancing the need for income against possible long term falls in capital value. The property market continues to be challenging and the Trustees consider opportunities that provide a reasonable return with an acceptable level of risk.
The Foundation has made loans to fund property developments which carn interest and, on certain developments, also entitle the Foundation to a share of any development profits, but not of any losses. The interest on these loans is payable quarterly which provides the Foundation with regular income from which to fund grants. For one of the loans the developer has decided to hold the property long term and consequently the profit share that is duc on the sale of[the][property][will][not][ be][realised][for][ some][Gime.][It][has][ been][agreed][that][the][ estimated] profit of£850,000 on that development be treated as a loan, the loan bearing interest until it is repaid. Apart from this no new loans were taken out during the ycar (2024: two new loans amounting to £7,000,000) and there was one loan repayment of £4,600,000 (2024: no loan repayments). The net reduction in loans during the year meant that the interest received similarly cll.
The Foundation has invested in various charity pooled funds, which are held primarily to generate income to finance the payment of grants. The returns on these funds tend not to be as great as those on the Foundation's property related investments, however the income from the property related investments can fluctuate particularly when properties arc sold or loans repaid and it can take time before new properties can be acquired or new loans made. The charity pooled funds tend ta provide more consistent income. The value of the funds rose by £156,019 (2024: £817,326) during the year. The Foundation and its subsidiary held cash at the year end of £13,108,239 (2024: £7,033,633). The increase in cash largely arose from the repayment ofa property development loan during the year. The cash held is more than the charity needs to mect its commitments and operating costs and consequently a proportion is under the management of Cazenove Capital! {sce above) pending other investment opportunities.
The Tnustccs regularly monitor the Foundation’s investments and cash reserves with view to balancing prudence with the necd to gencrate income. In so doing the Trustees consider the risks associated with cach class of investment, bearing in mind the risks inherent with those particular assets and the wider cconomic risks arising. The Trustees consider that the present mix provides a reasonable balance of returns with an acceptable level of risk but continue to kecp the charity's assets under revicw. The Trustees consider that the charity’s investments and the income these investments gencrate should be sufficient to mect the charity's present obligations and also ensure its ability to continue to make grants in the long term.
6. Reserves policy
The Trustees arc conscious of the recent high rates of inflation and the impact this has had on the real value of the Foundation's reserves. If the reserves of £51,026,416 at 31 May 2021 were to be maintained in line with the Consumer Price Index they would necd to have increased to £12,595,710 by 3] May 2025. The reserves at 31 May 2025 were in fact £56,767,905 - a shortfall of £6,854,221. The Trustees are acutely awarc of[the][ growing][ demand][for][ funding][to][support][life-changing opportunities][for][ people][with][disabilities][and] those affected by poverty. They are also mindful of the impact that inflation and market conditions have had on the Foundation’s reserves. Balancing these considerations, the Trustees have taken a long-term view. Since 2021, the Foundation has awarded grants at a stcady rate of approximately £(.5 million per year. This approach reflects the Trustees’ commitment to meeting current needs while ensuring that the Foundation remains sustainable and capable of supporting future gencrations. The Trustees review this policy regularly and remain open to adjusting it in response to changing circumstances. Their priority is to steward the Foundation’s resources responsibly while continuing to support organisations delivering meaningful and lasting change in their communities.

PETER HARRISON FOUNDATION
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of the Peter Harrison Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the Peter Harrison Foundation for the year ended 31 May 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS (02 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). ;
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view ofthe state of the group and charily’s affairs as at 31 May 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and, - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilitics under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilitics for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We arc independent of the charity in accordance with the cthical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other cthical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit cvidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Irustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to cvents or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and charity's ability to continue as a going concer for a period of at Icast twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issuc. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do nol express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
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 course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such materia! inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 in this regard.
/
PETER HARRISON FOUNDATION
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of the Peter Harrison Foundation (continued)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us 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; or * the group and charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or * the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns: or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we required for our audit,
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 6, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees 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 group and charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concer and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees cither intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charitics Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether duc to fraud or error, and to issuc an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantec that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in agercgate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
‘ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether duc to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a materia! misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectivencss of the group and charity’s internal control. ‘Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.

PETER HARRISON FOUNDATION
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of the Peter Harrison Foundation (continued)
Auditor’s responsihilitics for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustces’ usc of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to cvents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group and charity's ability to continuc as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures arc inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group and charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audil,
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, arc 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 irregularitics, including fraud is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, arc; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements duc to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks ofmatcrial misstatement duc to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the group and charity.
Our approach was as follows: - we obtained an understanding of[the][legal][and][regulatory][requirements][applicable][to][the][charity][through] the use of permanent audit file information, updated this year for any changes that have been identified by management or by our own investigations and considered that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council;
-
we obtained an understanding of how the group and charity complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance and through reviews of relevant accounting and management records;
-
we assessed the risk of material misstatement of[the][financial][statements,][including][the][risk][of][ material] misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, based on our work as outlined above;
-
we enquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of noncompliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regutations, using associated documentary evidence to better understand items of interest;
-
based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. As well as specific audit testing, this included approaching accounting records with an inquisitive and sceptical mindset such thal we examined items that were felt to be ofinterest[or] of[ higher][risk][in][this][arca,] and[obtaining][additional][corroborative] evidence[as][required.]

PETER HARRISON FOUNDATION
Notes forming part of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2025
1 Accounting policies
Basis ofpreparation and assessment ofgoing concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments at market value, and are 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) effective | January 2015 (‘the SORP’), FRS 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (‘FRS 102"), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest Pound.
The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertaintics about the Foundation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The most significant area of uncertainty is the valuation of the Foundation's investment properties, however, these form only part of the Foundation's net asscts and with the Foundation’s cash balances exceeding its grant commitments and other liabilities there is no risk that the Foundation cannot mect its current obligations, The Trustees are confident of the Foundation’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of[judgment]
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. ‘The trustees consider that the valuation of the subsidiary’s investment properties is the only amount which requircs judgment and cstimation and that could have a significant effect on the financial statements. The investment propertics’ valuations are bascd on advice from the subsidiary’s property consultants of their view of the market value at the year end, Property valuations necessarily require judgment however the subsidiary's property consultants are experts in their ficld and the trustees consider that the risk of a material misstatement is unlikely to occur. Furthermore, the impact of a misstatement would not affect the ability of the Foundation to mect its grant commitments as the Foundation’s cash balances and readily realisable investments are sufficient to settle its grant commitments in full.
Group financial statements
These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary PHF Investments Limited on a line by line basis. A separate statement of financial activitics, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by the Charitics SORP FRS 102.
Income
Income is accounted for gross in the period in which the Foundation is entitled to reccipt. Fees for the management of the Foundation’s cash deposits arc netted against the interest receivable on these deposits as ihe fees are immaterial.
Expenditure
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis.
Support costs comprise costs for processing grant applications, including support to actual and potential applicants, together with governance costs meeting constitutional and statutory requirements which include the cost of Trustee meclings and audil fecs. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to either of these categories an apportionment is made based on estimated staff time.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
Charitable grants charged in the year are as follows:
(a) Awarded by the Trustees, and all contractual conditions met in the year.
(b) Awarded by the Trustces in the previous year for which the contractual terms have been met in the current year.
Fixed asset investments Investment properties arc stated at their estimated market value. No depreciation is provided on investment properties.
The managed investment funds are stated at their listed price.
Loans for property development are stated at cost less Provision for diminution in value. The property development loans carn interest and, for certain of the loans, a share of any net development profit, but not of any losses. The share of net development profits is accounted for when they can be determined with reasonable certainty.
The Foundation’s investment in its subsidiary undertaking, PHF Investments Limited, is unquoted and shown at cost. As consolidated financial statements are presented, and in view of the disclosures in notes 4 and 7 regarding the subsidiary, the Trustees do not believe that estimating the market value of the this investment and including this valuc on charity Balance Shect would be relevant to users’ understanding of the accounts. As a result the investment is presented at historic cost.
The Statement of Financial Activities includes realised gains and losses from investments that have been sold and unrealised gains and losses arising from the revaluation of investments that are still held. Intangible fixed assets Intangible fixed assets comprise set up costs for the charity's grant database and management system. Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated ona straight line basis over three years once the system is fully operational.
Otherfinancial instruments a) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity datc of three months or less. b) Debtors and creditors Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are carried at their transaction price. Debtors and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one ycar and not subject to a market rate of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipts or payment, discounted at a market rate of interest. Grants payable after more than one year are not considered to be financial instruments as they are non-contractual in nature and consequently are not measured at their present value. Expendable endowment funds
Where funds are given to be held as endowments, they are shown as expendable cadowment funds in the financial statements. Expendable endowments are those where the trust terms provide for conversion to income under certain circumstances. Of the endowment funds £150,445 (2024: £131,413) is restricted 10 grants in accordance with the late founder's known interests (sce note 2) and £176,903 (2024: £156,757) is restricted to expenditure subject to the donor’s approval.
