REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and financial statements for Company Act purposes.
Reference and administrative details set out on page 1 form part of this report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland – Charities SORP FRS 102 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 7 March 2002 and registered as a charity on 8 October 2002. It is governed by its memorandum and articles of association.
Appointment of trustees
The charity may by ordinary resolution appoint, and the trustees may co-opt, any person either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee, but a co-opted trustee holds office only until the next AGM. At each AGM, one third of the trustees retire by rotation. The trustees appoint one of their number to be the chairman of their meetings.
The trustees for the purpose of charity law, who are also directors for the purpose of company law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Induction and training of trustees
New trustees are briefed on the powers and responsibilities of the trustees and the sub-committees, the grant making process, investments and the recent financial performance of the charity.
Organisation
The charity is managed by the trustees, who meet quarterly. The number of trustees may not be less than three, but is not subject to any maximum. The quorum for the transaction of business is one third of the trustees or two trustees, whichever is greater. Investment and property sub-committees have been established, with three trustees sitting on each sub-committee.
Risk management
The trustees have carried out a detailed risk assessment to identify the major governance, financial, operational and compliance risks which the charity faces and this is reviewed each year. Procedures have been established to enable the trustees to monitor and mitigate those risks.
Objectives and activities
The aim of The JGW Patterson Foundation is to advance the education of the public by the provision of grants to fund research into rheumatology, cancer and the relief of arthritis and to disseminate the useful results thereof. The objects also include the provision of equipment or grants for equipment and / or caring services to assist with the relief of sickness caused by rheumatological problems, arthritis and / or cancer, such equipment or grants for equipment and / or caring services not normally being provided by the Local Health Authority.
In planning and carrying out the charity’s activities for the year, the trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are confident that this is achieved through the grants made.
Grant making policy
Under the terms of the charity’s memorandum and articles of association, the trustees may expend the funds of the charity in such manner as they consider most beneficial for the achievement of the objects set out above.

THE JGW PATTERSON FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Grant making policy (continued)
The area of benefit is the North East of England, including Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, Durham and Cumbria.
Applications are invited from organisations and individuals within the relevant fields. The charity will support both clinical and laboratory research which is designed to further the understanding of disease, improve treatment, or promote best practice. Research grant applications are subject to peer review.
The trustees will consider these applications and grants will be made where it is thought most appropriate and effective. It is a condition of funding that the trustees receive regular reports on the use of the funds and the results of the research.
Achievements and performance
The charity has continued to support research that aims to understand the causes of arthritis in order to devise new and effective treatments and has awarded grants that aim to investigate mechanisms relevant to both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Some projects have led to further funding from National Bodies and Newcastle now hosts both Programme and Centre grants from Medical Research Council, Versus Arthritis (formerly Arthritis Research UK) and the Dunhill Medical Trust. Grants have also been made to charities that focus on arthritis patient care.
The cancer projects are mainly carried out in the Newcastle University Centre for Cancer. The overall aim of the Centre is to understand better the biology of cancer in order to tailor treatment to individuals, and to identify targets within the cancers where it might be possible to develop new cancer drugs. Medicinal chemistry is an integral part of many projects. Each year the charity gives small grants to local hospices for caring services and the provision of equipment to enhance the lives of patients whom they care for.
For both rheumatology and cancer, the charity funds short term pump-priming projects, most of which go on to attract major national funding. The charity also funds PhD students to encourage the best young graduates to develop a career in research. It has established two PhD arthritis studentships and three PhD cancer studentships in memory of Andrew Walker, Peter May and Philip Robson.
Most of our grants go to Newcastle University, but we have also funded Northumbria University and the University of Durham.
Total grants payable in the year amounted to £602,221 as shown in note 5 to the financial statements. Of this total, 28% was for research into rheumatology and arthritis, 57% for cancer research and the remaining 15% for hospices and cancer patient care.
Financial review
The principal sources of unrestricted income comprised rents, dividends and interest receivable amounting to £967,169 (2020: £1,061,315). Grants payable in the year were £602,221 (2020: £865,593), creating net income of £116,761 (2020: net expenditure of £88,613).
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets (the free reserves) at an appropriate level to cover any gap that may arise between investment income and grants payable and other expenditure. In recent years, the target level of reserves has been set at £100,000.
The free reserves at 31 March 2021 were £164,127 (2020: £47,366) which is slightly higher than the target level. However, the pattern of grant making depends on the timing and quality of applications, and the start dates of the projects concerned. The trustees therefore consider this to be appropriate at the current time. The policy and reserves position will continue to be reviewed each financial year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Investment policy and performance
The memorandum and articles of association permit the charity to acquire and to charge or otherwise dispose of property and to invest funds in any manner as the trustees may see fit.
The charity has a detailed investment policy with the aim of achieving appropriately diversified investments. The managing agent advises on a property portfolio of £10.4 million, comprising approximately £2.1 million for residential and £8.3 million for commercial properties. External managers advise on an investment portfolio of approximately £8.5 million.
The total return for the year on the investment portfolio was 25.1% (2020: -2.3%) compared with the benchmark of 23.6% (2020: -7.8%).
Plans for future periods
New grant applications continue to be considered with reference to the charity’s available income.
The continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is referred to in note 14 of the financial statements.
Responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also the directors of The JGW Patterson Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law 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 charitable company and of the income and application of resources, including the income or expenditure, of the charitable company 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 UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
On behalf of the trustees

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE JGW PATTERSON FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The JGW Patterson Foundation (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, including the income and expenditure account, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows 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 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 charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 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 Companies Act 2006.
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 charitable company 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 charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE JGW PATTERSON FOUNDATION
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we required for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 controls 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 charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE JGW PATTERSON FOUNDATION
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to both the charitable company itself and the industry in which it operates. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience and through discussion with the trustees and other management. The most significant identified that directly affect the financial statements include financial reporting legislation (including related companies’ legislation), the Charities Act 2011 and UK taxation legislation. The charitable company is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: Health and Safety, Employment Law and Data Protection regulations, recognising the nature of the charitable company’s activities.
We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements. Our audit procedures included:
-
making enquiries of trustees and Key Management Personnel as to where they consider there to be susceptibility to fraud and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraud;
-
obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
assessing the design effectiveness of the controls in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
assessing the risk of management override, including identifying and testing journal entries;
-
challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates.
Our audit did not identify any key audit matters relating to the detection of irregularities including fraud. However, despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
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.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, Chapter 3, Part 16. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE JGW PATTERSON FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. Legal status of the charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. It is registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Cube, Barrick Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 6DB. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10.
2. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. They have been prepared 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 - Charities SORP FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The JGW Patterson Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional and presentational currency of the charity.
b) Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis
The charity has reviewed its cash flow forecasts and there is a reasonable expectation that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months and on this basis the charity is considered to be a going concern.
c) Fund accounting - Endowment Fund
Unrestricted income fund
The income fund is credited with the investment income arising from the charity's investments and is charged with grants made by the charity, costs of raising funds and support and governance costs. Any surplus on the income fund is carried forward and available for future grants.
Endowment fund
This represents donations made by Mr JGW Patterson during his lifetime and a legacy from his estate following his death. Although the Endowment Fund is expendable at the trustees' discretion, a grant made out of capital would normally involve the sale of investments and would only be made in exceptional circumstances.
d) Fixed asset investments:
Listed investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market value using the bid price. Gains or losses arising on revaluation or disposal are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the funds in which the investments are held.
Investment properties
The charity classifies land and buildings as investment properties when they are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are initially measured at cost which comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Investment properties are subsequently remeasured to fair value (which for this purpose is market value) at each reporting date with changes in the fair value recognised in the statement of financial activities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
2. Accounting policies (continued)
e) Cash at bank
Cash at bank includes a current account and a 95 day notice business savings account.
f) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.
g) Financial instruments
With the exception of investments described above, the charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially measured at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
h) Income recognition
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Investment income such as dividends and interest are included when receivable.
Income from charitable activities includes income from rents and service charges which are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
i) Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised as soon as 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. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Expenditure on raising funds comprises those costs relating to financing, managing and maintaining the investment properties and certain legal and professional fees.
Charitable expenditure comprises all costs of activities in furtherance of the objects of the charity.
Grants payable are recorded once the charity has made an unconditional commitment to pay the grant which is communicated to the beneficiary or the grant has been paid, whichever is the earlier. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the balance sheet date are noted as a commitment, but not provided as expenditure.
Governance costs represents expenditure incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Where support costs relate to more than one activity, they are allocated on the basis of time spent.

All investments are carried at their fair value. Investments in equities and fixed interest securities are all traded in quoted public markets. The basis of fair value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value using the bid price.
The investment properties were valued by the trustees at 31 March 2021, at market value for existing use. Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees’ valuations are still subject to 'material valuation uncertainty'. Consequently, less certainty and a higher degree of caution, should be attached to the valuation than would normally be the case. The material valuation uncertainty' does not mean that the valuation cannot be relied upon. Rather, in the current extraordinary circumstances, less certainty can be attached to the valuation than would otherwise be the case.

These grant commitments are not provided as liabilities in the financial statements. The amounts represent future amounts of research grants offered at the balance sheet date, which are subject to ongoing reviews and are payable out of future income, or are for research projects which have been agreed to commence after the balance sheet date.
14. Post balance sheet events
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is likely that there will be a continued decrease in investment and property income during the current financial year, but at this stage, it is impossible to estimate the longer term financial effects on the charity. The trustees consider that the reserves and financial position of the charity mitigate any immediate risk, but there may need to be a reduction in the charity's grant making in line with any decrease in income.
