## **THE LADY RYDER OF WARSAW MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024**_
## **Achievements and performance**
During the year I am pleased to report our achievements. I shall detail those below but firstly I wish to thank the trustees who have remained in office and worked hard to manage and promote the trust in accordance with its aims and objectives during this last year.
Following on from my previous report, I should like to advise that we are delighted with the response to the new website www.lrwmt.org.uk. Our social media is making many postings enabling us to contact, communicate and update everywhere in the world with our and their activities.
We are shortly to celebrate the centenary of Sue Ryder’s birth in July 2024. The new succinct biography of Sue Ryder, titled ‘A Life Lived for Others’ including a second section being the detail of all the places around the world where she worked during her lifetime, has been the cornerstone to our celebrations and continues to be very well received. We are holding a ‘family’ event at Parmoor planting a Centenary Rose in memory of Sue, followed by a service at the Brompton Oratory and the inaugural Sue Ryder lecture at Ognisko in the evening on her actual birthday. All are welcome.
There continues to be many areas around the world where humanitarian aid in accordance with Sue Ryder’s vision could be given. Our funds are limited but through the year and in particular we have granted:
- The activity in Italy with £12,500 of grants to provide a number of humanitarian basic requirements for the poor and needy in Rome, including those in prison.
- £10,000 to a home in Poland to help with their industrial cleaning.
- £6,200 in respect of taking disadvantaged youth to Lourdes, to enjoy all that can inspire them there.
- £5,000 for the building and installation of a kitchen at a school in northern Uganda, as a result attendance has more than doubled.
- Our medical university scholarships continue and have expanded such that we are now supporting ten students through university, who would not ordinarily be able to afford this education, thereby encouraging social mobility. in September 2024 two students from Bristol are visiting Raphael in Dehradun. The concept is to offer the students more than the funding, but a valuable and once in a lifetime experience, as well as bringing the Sue Ryder family closer together. Clearly we would like to support many more student doctors under the Sue Ryder patronage and hope this will become possible.
Overall, we feel that our grants however small have the greatest possible impact on the recipient, in the true ethos of Sue Ryder’s own philosophy.
In this financial year we report our investments have struggled, we are told, in line with market forces in respect of capital value, yet our income has held in finite terms justifying the majority of the non-charitable expenditure being the investment management fees of £24,662 ( 2023 - £26,729). These costs concern us greatly as trustees as they are large and seem unavoidable. The performance in terms of capital reduction have been significant. We have researched this matter and feel the diminution of assets is unacceptable and are changing our investment policy to a managed unit fund basis for part of our portfolio and more of a growth scenario for the rest being the managed funds.
Finally, thanks once again go to Ruth Young, who undertakes the day-to-day administration so effectively and efficiently.
Once we pass the centenary of Sue Ryder’s birth this July, we shall not be spending more on legacy items. Save to say the future of our medical students and an annual lecture at Ognisko will keep the message of Sue’s work loud and clear in the forefront of everyone’s mind.

## **THE LADY RYDER OF WARSAW MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024**_
## **Reserves and Grant Making policy**
It is the policy of the charity to retain the original legacy and any subsequent gifts and legacies as reserves. These are invested to provide an annual income which is to be distributed. The charity’s primary source of income is currently derived from the returns (dividends and interest) generated from these investments. The Trustees continually review the investments, together with their investment advisors, with the aim of preserving capital while maintaining income in order to pursue the Trust’s objectives.
In respect of the restricted fund, which relates to Poland, the trustees will from time to time relax the policy in place for the general fund and reduce that fund accordingly. However this will be done mindful of having sufficient ongoing funds to support future activities.
## **Investment Policy**
Investments are held primarily to provide an investment return for the charity.
The Trustees rely on the Investment Manager to maintain the purchasing power of the funds invested while generating a reasonable income. In order to achieve this, the Investment Manager aims for a diversified and balanced portfolio with no speculative or risky investments. The investment policy is reviewed regularly and the Trustees’ attitude to risk is low.
## **Financial review**
It has been the policy of the charity not to actively raise funds nor seek funding thus consequently it retains its reserves as far as possible. However, we have started to fundraise by employing an experienced professional in this field. This activity has yet to bear results and we are keeping it under close review.
The charity has a responsibility to provide funding for activities overseas. These activities are in Poland, Italy and France, where funding and the supply of medical equipment and consumables are restricted.
Therefore, while previously the trustees consider that expenditure should match capital growth and income generated in the year, then if there is a specific large project to fund within the remit of the charity's activities then the trustees have the discretion to reduce the capital.

|Netgains/(losses)on investments|(£27,658)|(£110,142)|
|Net surplus/(deficit)|(£46,585)|(£194,409)|
## **Reserves**
The total reserves held by The Lady Ryder of Warsaw Memorial Trust amount to £3,356,454 (2023 - £3,403,339) of which £733,727 is restricted (2023 - £725,988). The purpose of these reserves is to allow it to continue to maintain and develop the Charity.
## **Plans for the future**
The primary aim is to boost our funds to enable an increase in funding more medical students through university and to provide them with a differentiating experience for their CVs.
Secondly and yet as importantly, we shall continue to support projects which we know the Founder would have supported in accordance with our objectives.

## **THE LADY RYDER OF WARSAW MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024**_
## _**Risk management**_
The principal risks faced by the Trust lie in the performance of investments held by the charity, the uncertainty of future voluntary income and the operational risk of grants payable to Trusts in Poland, Italy and France being payable in foreign currencies.
The investment risk is mitigated by retaining experienced investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio. The Trustees rely on the Investment Manager to maintain the purchasing power of the funds invested while generating a reasonable income. In order to achieve this, the Investment Manager aims for a diversified and balanced portfolio with no speculative or risky investments and capital preservation should be sought at all times. The investment policy is reviewed regularly and the Trustees' attitude to risk is low.
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks. In order to identify relevant risks and appropriate controls the following matters were considered: -
- the charity's objectives and strategies;
- the nature and scope of the charity's activities;
- external legislation and regulations;
- performance of the investments;
- the operating structure of the charity; and
- comparison with other similar-size charities or those working in the same sector.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Charity was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee without a share capital on 23 February 2000. And registered as a charity in England and Wales. The registered company number is 3935283 and the registered charity number is 1082295. The registered office and principal address of the reporting entity is Moorgate House, 7 Station Road West, Oxted, Surrey, RH8 9EE. The articles of association is the governing document for the charity, which meets the definition of a charity under the Charities Act 2011 as it works exclusively for charitable purposes and is for the public benefit, especially for the poor and sick people of Italy, Poland, France and England.
The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Mr R M Frith FCA (Chairman) Mr M E Cutting FCA (Treasurer) Lady A Hobhouse Mr AO Cumine Ms KV Taylor
The appointment and induction of new Trustees is reviewed reguarly to cover areas of expertise required by the charity. The training requirements of current Trustees are reviewed regularly at Trustees meetings.
None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
The organisation structure of The Lady Ryder of Warsaw Memorial Trust consists of a board of Trustees and advisors who meet on a regular basis to consider and review the charity's activities, general progress and current financial position. Decisions are then made on matters such as the investment of the charity's funds, grants payable and the level of reserves appropriate to each fund in order to meet their objectives.

**THE LADY RYDER OF WARSAW MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Lady Ryder Of Warsaw Memorial Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Moorgate House, 7 Station Road West, Oxted, Surrey, RH8 9EE.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
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 £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Incoming resources**
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **THE LADY RYDER OF WARSAW MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
## **1.5 Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **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.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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 payments 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.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
