TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity’s Trust Deed, the Charities Act 2011, as amended, and the reviewed Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Trustees who held office throughout the year are shown on page 1.

The Trust Deed stipulates that there shall be no less than two Trustees. New Trustees, when required, are selected by the serving Trustees and are appointed by a Resolution of existing Trustees. New Trustees undergo an induction to acquaint them with the activities of the charity.

No Trustee receives a fee for the service they provide to the charity, all time spent is donated free of charge.

The Trustees meet a minimum of two times a year.

RFT Management Services Limited provides the charity with charity administration and financial reporting services.

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity’s objects are the support such institutions and purposes which are charitable according to the law of England and Wales, in such manner and such proportions as the Trustees shall from time to time at their discretion decide.

The Trustees have been granted wide powers in furtherance of the Charity’s objects.

GRANT MAKING POLICY

The Trustees consider applications and make grants they receive from various sources at the Trustee meetings. However, due to constraints on income, unsolicited applications can no longer be considered. Although some donations may be made to the same charities each year none shall be either promised or guaranteed.

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. In particular, the Trustees consider how grants can be made to ensure maximum benefit flows through to the intended ultimate beneficiaries.

THE ROBERT FLEMING HANNAY MEMORIAL CHARITY

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022 (CONT’D)

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the year the Trustees made donations totalling £129,000 (2021 - £144,000) to other charitable organisations, as detailed in note 6.

In addition, the Trustees made donations totalling £184,000 in respect of ongoing grants agreed in prior years (and accrued in prior year accounts) to other charitable organisations.

The Trustees look forward to being able to continue their charitable work in the coming years in accordance with the grant making policy.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND INVESTMENT POLICY

The Charity’s principal source of income is from its investments which totalled £33,933 (2021 - £53,295). During the year the Trustees spent £138,326 (2021 - £152,605) on charitable activities and the governance and administration of the Charity.

The Trustees have an agreed an investment policy for the Charity’s investment portfolio and have instructed the investment managers that the portfolio is to be invested to produce a suitable mixture of income and capital growth. The Trustees continue to monitor the performance of the portfolio with regular investment reports

To meet these objectives, the Charity’s investments are managed across a range of asset classes, maintaining diversification, to produce an appropriate balance between risk and return.

FUTURE PLANS

The Trustees do not envisage any material changes to the operation of the Charity.

RESERVES POLICY

The capital is an expendable endowment, and, at this time, the Trustees do not consider a specific Reserve Policy necessary. However, to ensure there is cash available for any emergency the Trustees have instructed that £50,000 of the investment portfolio is held as “cash not for investment”. At the Balance Sheet date, the reserves of the charity, including the expendable endowment, amounted to £2,142,342.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate those risks. The principal risk faced by the Charity is an investment risk. This risk could be the reduction in the capital value of the investments and the income derived from the investments, required by the Trustees in meeting their charitable objectives. This risk has been addressed by the appointment of professional advisors to monitor investment performance and to decide on acquisitions and disposals

THE ROBERT FLEMING HANNAY MEMORIAL CHARITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Charity is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity and therefore has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the 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 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), and Charities Act 2011, as amended. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

(b) Going Concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Charity are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets (see the investment policy and risk management sections of the Trustees’ annual report for more information).

(c) Fund Structure

Unrestricted Funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects.

The Expendable Endowment Fund represents those assets which are held for the longer term for the Charity, in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. Income arising on the Expendable Endowment Fund can be used in the Unrestricted Income Fund. As an Expendable Endowment Fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the Charity and is included in the unrestricted funds, capital can also be spent in certain circumstances in fulfilment of the Trust’s objects. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments held in the Expendable Endowment Fund form part of that Fund.

(d) Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the conditions for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has or will be made such income is grossed up for the tax recoverable. The following accounting policies are applied to different categories of income:

Investment Income

Investment income is accounted for when receivable and is stated gross of any reclaimable taxation relief.

Rental Income

Rental income is accounted for when receivable and is stated gross of any reclaimable taxation relief.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(e) Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised 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 related to the category. The following accounting policies are applied to the different categories of expenditure:

Costs of generating funds

The costs of generating funds consist of investment management and related costs.

Charitable Activities

Costs of charitable activities include grants made and support and governance costs. Donations payable are recognised when they are approved by the trustees and the recipient of the grant has been informed of the amount to be paid.

Support & Governance Costs

Support and Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include expenses related to the independent examiner’s fee, professional fees, and support costs.

(f) Investment Property

Property is stated at market value at the balance sheet date. It is the policy of the trustees to revalue the property every 5 years, where they believe that a significant difference to carrying value has arisen.

(g) Fixed Asset Investments

Investments are valued at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

(h) Foreign Currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recognised at the rate of exchange at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are recognised through the statement of financial activities.

(i) Realised and Unrealised 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 (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).

(j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

In preparing financial statements, it is necessary to make certain adjustments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less.

(l) Financial Instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 Basic Financial Instruments 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.

2. INFORMATION REGARDING TRUSTEES AND EMPLOYEES

In the financial year ended 5 April 2022 none of the trustees received any remuneration for their services in the year (2021- Nil). The Charity has no employees.

In the financial year ended 5 April 2022 one trustee had expenses totalling £580 reimbursed by the Charity in respect of meeting costs (2021 £nil).

The trustees are considered to comprise the Charity’s key management.
