## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022**_ 

Over the past twelve months the Trustees have made grants to 122 organisations (2021: 113) at a cost of £217,550 (2021: £190,000) from an investment income for 2022 of £267,000 (2021: £272,000 including property income. 

The overall rate of return from our quoted investments amounted to -5.5% for the year with a total capital value of £10.786M down from the 2021 value of £11.564M, producing a gross annual income of £246,000 (2021: £255,000). The underlying portfolio has, both directly and indirectly, a wide international spread of equity investments (and only 7% in cash), in the expectation that longer-term they will offer some form of protection from the harmful effects of inflation and give us the prospect of a rising stream of future income. 

For many, they are now in the midst of a worldwide humanitarian calamity, and our funds can only stretch to a few, but wherever we can we will try to help but it needs more international purpose and urgency to save it becoming a total disaster.

## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022**_ 

The Trustees present their  annual  report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 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) " (effective 1 January 2019 ). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The  T rustees have discretion to apply income from the trust fund to any charity or charitable purpose. However the following charitable purposes are specifically listed: 

Educational Scholarships Grants Hospitals and the provision of medical treatment for the sick 

Purchase of antiques and artistic objects for museums and collections to which the public has access Care and assistance of the aged and infirm 

Development and assistance of Arts and Sciences, physical recreation and drama Research into matters of public interest 

Relief of poverty Support of matters of public interest Maintaining and improving The Faringdon Collection Trust 

The Trustees have  paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During the year ended 5 April 202 2 grants were given to 1 22 organisations (202 1 :  115 organisations) totalling £ 217,550  (202 1 : £ 190,050 ). 

## **Investment policy and performance** 

The Trustees believe the best policy to protect the purchasing power of the endowment fund is to invest, for a rising stream of income, in a diversified international portfolio of equities with the expectation that this will lead to a satisfactory overall (total) rate of return for the Fund. 

In the year to 5 April 202 2 , the overall (total) rate of return on the Portfolio was  -5.5%. 

## **Financial review** 

Investment income for the year amounted to £ 267,051 , a decrease of £ 5,228  over the prior year.  The cost of charitable activities amounted to £ 240,830 ,  an increase  of £ 30,886  over the prior year.  After other costs have been taken into account, there were net incoming resources of £ 15,997  (202 1 : net  incoming resources of £ 52,652 ).   Losses of £ 772,343  on revaluation of listed investments , and a gain on revaluation of the investment property of £25,000  have created a net  decrease in funds of £ 731,346 . 

## **Reserves policy** 

The  C harity has no employees and no long term commitments. In the light of this the Trustees consider that there is no need to maintain a level of free reserves, and the unrestricted funds will be spent on further donations in due course. 

The  C harity manages its annual expenditure against its annual income as required.  Any capital growth is treated as inflation protection to the real value of the permanent endowment.  Reserves at 5 April 202 2 amounted to £ 11 , 320,381 of which £ 159,333  were unrestricted income funds and £ 11,161,048  were endowment funds.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022**_ 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Trust will continue to aim to distribute its annual income, by way of grants, to worthy causes in accordance with its objects. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Trust is an unincorporated Trust, constituted under a Trust Deed dated 4 December 2000, and is a registered charity, number 1084690. 

The existing charity was formed from the amalgamation of The Lord Faringdon (No 1) Charitable Trust (Reg. No 206878) and The Lord Faringdon (No 2) Charitable Trust (Reg. No. 237974). For future reference the assets and accumulated income of The Lord Faringdon (No 1) Charitable Trust representing 62.15% of the amalgamated assets (fund A) vest in The Faringdon Collection trust (Reg. No 203770); the assets of The Lord Faringdon (No 2) Charitable Trust (fund B) representing 38.75% of the total amalgamated assets, remain a permanent endowment. 

The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: The Hon. James Harold Henderson Bernard Michael de Lerisson Cazenove The Hon. Mrs S Maitland-Robinson Edward Alexander Campbell Cottrell 

The Trust is managed by a board of trustees. 

The T rustees meet formally once a year when they agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the trustees is carried out by the secretary. 

The T rustees keep their skill requirements under review and, in the event that a trustee permanently retires or additional new trustees are required, new trustees will be sought and a final decision on selection will be taken by the existing trustees. 

## **Risk management** 

The T rustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The T rustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission. The public benefit of the Charity is achieved through its grant-making. Grant applications are accepted from registered charities and other recognised bodies. All grant applications are required to provide information on the specific purpose and expected beneficiaries of the grant. This information helps the Charity assess how its programme of discretionary grant-making achieves a spread of benefit. 

The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees. Edward Alexander Campbell Cottrell **Acting Chairman**

## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022**_ 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 year. 

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

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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.

## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Lord Faringdon Charitable Trust (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet 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 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: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2022 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 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 Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are 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 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 we do not 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 material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to 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.

## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **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 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' r eport; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the  s tatement of Trustees'  r esponsibilities, 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 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 our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below . 

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. 

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 charity through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the client’s business 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; 

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; 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. 

- 6 - 



## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

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 

- 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; 

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining 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; 

- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and 

- reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company’s legal advisors. 

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 non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

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 is available on  the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.  This description forms part of our auditor's report.

## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Lord Faringdon Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales, Charity Number 1084690. 

Its registered office is: The Estate Office, Buscot Park, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7 8BU. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). 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 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  Charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties 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 financial statements, 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 financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors 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. 

As stated in the statutory information, The Lord Faringdon Charitable Trust was formed from the amalgamation of The Lord Faringdon (No 1) Charitable Trust and The Lord Faringdon (No 2) Charitable Trust.  61.25% of the amalgamated assets vests in The Faringdon Collection Trust.  38.75% of the amalgamated assets remain as a permanent endowment fund with The Lord Faringdon Charitable Trust. The income from the endowment is wholly unrestricted and can be used for the general purposes of the Trust. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income and endowments are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the income will be received and the monetary value of income can be measured with sufficient reliability.

## **THE LORD FARINGDON CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.  All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to that category. 

Grants payable and donations are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Trust.  Single or multi year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that the Trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the Trust. 

## **Irrecoverable VAT** 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

## **Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs have been allocated to the  C harity’s one activity. 

## **Expenditure on raising funds** 

This consists of investment management fees and investment property costs. 

## **Expenditure on charitable activities** 

This includes grants and donations made and support costs as shown in Note 5. It also includes governance costs. 

## **Governance costs** 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the  C harity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.  These costs include costs related to statutory audit and any legal fees. 

## **1.6 Investment properties** 

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss. 

## **1.7 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. 

## **Realised gains and losses** 

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.  Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (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 Statement of Financial Activities, but are shown in note  7 to the accounts. 

## **1.8 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.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.9 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 p aymen ts 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. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the  Charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.10 Taxation** 

As a registered charity the Trust is not liable to UK income tax.
