Kenneth Maurice Williams Will Trust Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 5 April 2025
The Trustees consider the charity to be a low risk Trust because of the diversification via property investments and listed investments. The portfolio management company briefs the Trustees on investment types and generally low to medium risk investment vehicles are chosen to secure an on-going income. Regular haif-yearly reviews are performed with the portfolio manager to discuss the overall performance of the investments held.
Objectives and Activities
It is the Trustees’ intention for the period of the Trust, to continue to provide an annual income for the charities set out above, in accordance with the Will of Kenneth Williams.
The Trust funds are managed by an independent portfolio manager and the investment properties are let out for rental incomes which are managed through professional managing agents.
The charity was established after the death of Kenneth Williams in 1998 for the purpose of holding the assets of the estate and maximising the income thereon for distribution to a number of charities as stated in the constitution document for the public benefit.
The charity is not involved in the activities of the beneficiary charities.
The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the public benefit requirement and confirm that they have complied with their duties under the Charities Act.
Achievements and Performance
At the end of the year the investment portfolio had a value of £2.709m (2024 - £2.775m) which is a minor decrease from the prior year of 0.64m. The reduction coincides with the announcement of tariffs raised in the US weakening the stock market. Included within this decrease are realised and unrealised gains of £21,199 (2024: £199,771).
The investment policy of the Trust is to invest in medium to low risk investment vehicles, which has generated a sustainable ongoing income for distribution to the designated charities. Dividends and equalizations received in the year were £78k (2024 - £85k).
There are cash reserves in the investments, which are available to invest or distribute of £33k, compared to £90k last year.
The properties are still attracting income at the same levels of previous years and they are well maintained. Rental income in the year was £260k (2024 - £257k).
Our donations enable the charities we support to continue to provide their services.
Plans for the future
The Trust will carry on holding investment properties and other medium to low risk listed investments to secure an on-going income for those charities defined in the Will. There are no plans going forward for additional investments or a change in the mix of investments.
Reserves policy
Designated charities are paid quarterly from the income account, after the audit any surplus in the income account is distributed to the charities. Reserves are held for the distributions to the designated charities after the end of the Trust period, which will be in 52 years.

Kenneth Maurice Williams Will Trust Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members For the Year Ended 5 April 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kenneth Maurice Williams Will Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e have been prepared in accordance with 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 responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical 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 ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence 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 trustees' 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 events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.
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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial 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 such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in 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 in this regard.

Kenneth Maurice Williams Will Trust Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 5 April 2025
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
e the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ Report; or
-
e sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or ¢ we have not received all the information and explanations we require for out audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 5, 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 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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor 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 auditor's 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 material 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.
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including
fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge of the charities sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011, Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; and
¢ identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and

Kenneth Maurice Williams Will Trust Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 5 April 2025
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
feading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, ifany.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www. frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Kenneth Maurice Williams Will Trust Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 5 April 2025
4. Accounting policies
1.1. Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in £ sterling on the historical cost basis rounded to the nearest £ and 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 1 January 2019) — (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
1.2 Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
Within restricted funds are income and capital funds. This split is estimated to allow payments of grants from income accumulation.
- 1.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under gift aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Operating lease rental receipts are recognised on the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
14 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- 1) Costs of raising funds comprise investment and property management fees 2) €xpenditure on charitable activities included grants paid, governance costs and all other costs associated with the upkeep of the property.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
The grants can only be made to the charities specified in the will and testament and the percentage of the grants to those charities should be in accordance with the governing document.

Kenneth Maurice Williams Will Trust Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 5 April 2025
Allocation of support costs — Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include bank office cost, finance and governance costs. These costs have been allocated wholly to expenditure on charitable activities.
- 1.5 Fixed asset investments
Investments — All investments held by the Trust, including investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments, as well as investment property, are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at the reporting date, with all gains and losses passing through the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA).
Investment properties are held to earn rental income and capital appreciation. They are initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value as determined by external valuers. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.
1.6 Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the SOFA as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Realised and unrealised gains are not separated in the SOFA.
1.7 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
- 1.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprise of cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
19 Taxation
As a registered charity, the charity is not liable to corporation tax to the extent that all income and gains are applied for charitable purposes.

1.10 Judgements, estimations and assumptions
In the application of the Trust's accounting policies, the Trustees are requires to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
