## **Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st October 2023** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** 

The Trustees of the Norman Walker Charitable Trust have pleasure in submitting their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st October 2023. 

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)” (second edition - October 2019). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Charity's objectives are to provide help for wholly charitable purposes for the public benefit as the Trustees in their total discretion determine. 

To fulfil these objectives the Trustees make grants to such charitable objects from income which is mainly generated by the Charity's investments.  Fund raising activities are not normally carried out. 

The Trustees hold Expendable Endowment Funds of capital and Unrestricted Funds of income.  All funds are available to meet the charity's objectives. 

The Trustees have complied with s17 of Charities Act 2011 and have given due consideration to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on the Public Benefit requirements when exercising relevant powers or duties. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The Trustees resolved to make a number of donations during the year totalling £40,000 (£62,000 in 2022). A full list of donations is detailed in the notes to the accounts. 

Net income not applied towards charitable purposes during the year is carried forward and will be donated in future years. 

## **Financial review and results for the year** 

Income from investments totalled £39,878 (£39,284 in 2022) with £7,202 (£7,358 in 2022) being spent to generate the funds in the form of investment management costs.  Funds expended on charitable activities totalled £45,190 (£65,510 in 2022). 

The statement of Financial Position includes net gains and losses on revaluations and disposals of investments for the year.  For the year ended 31st October 2023 net recognised losses totalled £77,296 (losses of £157,697 in 2022).  This resulted in a net decrease in funds for the year of £89,811 (£191,282 decrease in 2022). 

Funds held as at 31st October 2023 totalled £1,409,351 (£1,499,161 as at 31st October 2022) of which £8,126 (£38,438 in 2022) was held as Unrestricted Income Funds and £1,401,225 (£1,460,723 in 2022) was held as Expendable Endowment capital funds.

## **Trustees' Annual Report** 

## Reserves 

It is not the intention of the Trustees to build up or maintain income reserves, with any under expenditure of income being balanced by over expenditure in preceding or subsequent years.   The Trustees did not have any long term commitments as at the Balance Sheet date so consider Unrestricted Funds of income to be free reserves available for distribution as the Trustees in their discretion think fit. 

## Investments: 

The Trust's capital is invested in marketable investments or held in cash.  There are no specific restrictions under the governing deed.  Their objectives are to secure a reasonable growth in income consistent with the long term preservation of capital in real terms.  These objectives are reviewed annually. 

The Trustees wish to ensure that the objectives outlined above are achieved with an acceptable risk.  This implies the need for diversification of investment of the Trust to include a range of assets, including fixed interest stocks, UK and overseas shares. 

Investments comprise holdings in UK, large overseas listed companies, unit and investment trusts, including those investing in major international markets and also fixed interest securities.   The portfolio can therefore include a proportion of medium-sized or smaller UK companies and has exposure to international markets. 

The Trustees operate within the constraints applying to trusts governed by the Trustee Act 2000. 

The value of the Trust's portfolio as at 31st October 2023 totalled £1,392,599 an increase from £1,341,528 as at 31st October 2022.  The Trustees have reviewed the movements within the portfolio and are satisfied with the performance.  They do not intend to make any change to the investment policies at this time. 

## Risk Management 

The Charity Trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems or procedures have been established in order to manage those risks.  After considering the areas of governance, operational, financial, environmental and compliance the Trustees have identified that major negative fluctuations in investment assets could cause a material risk to the Charity's funds.  In order to mitigate this risk and in accordance with s15 Trustee Act 2000 the Trustees have established a Policy Statement to be adhered to by the Investment Manager, which is regularly reviewed in line with investment performance. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Norman Walker Charitable Trust (registration no: 1092309) is an unincorporated grant-making trust.  It was created by Miss Lesley Margaret Scoular by Deed dated 8th November 2001 and is governed by the Board of Trustees.  The Trustees shall hold the capital and the income of the Fund upon Trust to apply the income and, as far as may be necessary, the capital for or towards such charitable purposes and to make donations to charitable bodies or institutions at such times and in such manner as the Trustees may in their absolute discretion think fit. 

The power of appointing new Trustees is vested in the then current Trustees.  Trustees are selected due to their connection with the current Trustees in accordance with their skills, experience and understanding of the obligations imposed on such an appointment.

## **Trustees' Annual Report** 

While the board of Trustees remains responsible for all matters of charity business, Ms Scoular and Mr Lanyon primarily consider applications for funding and Rathbones Trust Company ensures all compliance requirements are met. 

The Trustees meet at least annually with two trustees forming a quorum.  The deed does not require meetings to be held in person.

## **Trustees' Annual Report** 

In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting polices and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the  Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and 

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts 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.

## **Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st October 2023** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of the Norman Walker Charitable Trust** 

I report on the accounts of the Norman Walker Charitable Trust for the year ended 31st October 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 15. 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act"). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

* the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or 

* the accounts did not accord with accounting records, or 

* the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirements that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an Independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Norman Walker Charitable Trust** 

## **Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st October 2023** 

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **Charity Information** 

The Norman Walker Trust is a charitable trust governed by a Settlement Deed dated 8 November 2001. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. Its principal address is Port of Liverpool Building, Pier Head, Liverpool, L3 1NW. 

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **Accounting Convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Act 2011, FRS102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (second edition - October 2019 - effective 1 January 2019). 

The accounts have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and so have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure consists of adopting the current version of the SORP (FRS 102). 

The accounts 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 on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investment assets at fair value.  The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of Going Concern is appropriate and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources and reserves to enable it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis of accounting in preparing the statements 

## **Charitable Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are primarily generated by the charity's capital investments and are available for use at the discretion of the charity in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. 

Expendable Endowment funds of capital are available to be applied at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charity's objects. Expendable Endowment is held primarily for income generation and increases or decreases in line with the investment valuation. Transfers from Expendable Endowment to Unrestricted Funds are made at the trustees' discretion.

## **Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st October 2023** 

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **Income** 

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. 

Tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the earlier of the receipt of funds or confirmation that Gift Aid may be reclaimed. 

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. 

All dividend income is recorded net and includes tax deducted only when it is repayable to the Charity. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised when paid or when there is a legal or constructive obligation for which it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably measured as at the reporting date. A constructive obligation exists where the charity has communicated the commitment to provide particular goods, services or funding to the recipient by the reporting date and there are no conditions attached to its payment falling due after the reporting date. 

Provisions for liabilities must be recognised when either the timing or the amount of future expenditure required to settle the obligation is uncertain. These are distinguished separately on the balance sheet. If a transfer of resources is no longer required, provisions are reversed and charged to the SoFA. 

## **Governance costs** 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

## **Investments** 

Investments held in the fund are included at their market value as follows: 

(a) Listed securities are valued at the mid market value ruling at the Balance Sheet date. 

- (b) Listed securities held in foreign currencies have been valued at the mid market value and translated into their sterling equivalents at the rates ruling at the Balance Sheet date. 

- (c) Gilts are valued at the mid market value ruling at the Balance Sheet date and include interest which has accrued up to that date. 

Investments are classified as a fixed asset except when classified as a current asset where the intention of the trustees is to dispose of the asset and not reinvest the proceeds.

## **Norman Walker Charitable Trust** 

## **Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st October 2023** 

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **Other recognised Gains and Losses** 

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost and are charged or credited to the Statement Of Financial Activities in the year of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the Balance Sheet date. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is not liable to income or capital gains tax on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the asset cost or the expense to which it relates. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes. 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. 

## **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 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. 

## **Cancellation of financial liabilities** 

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

## **Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st October 2023** 

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required 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.
