HAMPSHIRE AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Our purpose
The Trustees are committed to building funds and distributing grants to support community projects delivered by local voluntary and community groups supporting local communities across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight. We have built total funds to over £16m for the long-term benefit of our communities, and in the last 10 years have distributed approximately £14.5m in grants to support thousands of community projects across our region.
We award grants to smaller, lesser-known community groups who offer the support, services and activities that make a tangible difference to the lives of local people – often undertaking work that is not regularly funded by others. Our grants help meet the needs of diverse communities and those facing wide-ranging challenges – with a focus on supporting communities which are most vulnerable or deprived. From young people’s complex mental health needs, to helping reduce the impact of loneliness and isolation on older people, or funding support for families facing life with a disabled child – and much more – we help achieve real, positive, social change. We have a strong eye towards ensuring that our funding reaches minoritised groups and seek to fund work where the community affected has a clear voice in the design and development of the work that is intended to help them. We make grants to eligible charities, voluntary, community and faith groups and social enterprises because they work at the coal face with the communities facing the toughest of lives. (Note that henceforth we will refer to all the types of groups we support as community groups).
Unusually for many grant makers, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Community Foundation also actively fundraises within our community. We work with philanthropists, companies and government and other bodies to bring charitable investment into our region. By doing this, our specialist support enables a wide variety of donors to fund projects which make a real difference to the lives of local people across our communities. We do this because despite being a region with pockets of significant wealth, within our region are many of the poorest and most deprived communities in the UK. Our unique ability to leverage funding from such a wide range of donors means that we are also able to reach communities that other funders and donors simply cannot.
We do this by:
-
●using the income from our endowment funds for grant making
-
●working with donors on donor-directed grant making
●managing flow-through/revenue grant funds on behalf of local companies, councils, and other partners
●working in partnership with other bodies including governmental and non-governmental to target their social impact initiatives and philanthropy where and how it will be most effective in our region.
We provide a high standard of philanthropy advice and grant making across our entire geographic area.
Achievements and performance in 2023
2023 was a challenging year for the not-for-profit sector, particularly those working at the coal-face with people facing poverty and complex challenges. The cost of living crisis had a major impact on clients – many community groups working in poverty alleviation reported that they were working with people who had never depended on state or charitable aid in generations. Community groups themselves were also heavily impacted – often facing higher ongoing costs themselves – as were their staff, most of whom are on lower salaries themselves, often with fewer volunteers and clients with more complex and entrenched challenges. It has been an exceptionally difficult period for the sector, and for all those people who depend on its support.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
At HIWCF we are proud to support the community groups who provide such vital aid, often in the margins, and with people who are voiceless and vulnerable. We were delighted to achieve the following key impacts during the year:
-
Provided grants to a value of £1.5m throughout the year reaching over 400 community groups.
-
Made over £200K of grants to 25 community groups from our flagship region-wide “Including Communities” fund
-
Invested over £150K into the New Forest through the Charles Burnett Memorial Fund, with a diverse portfolio of larger grants focused on improving employability and skills, health and wellbeing and enabling communities to flourish.
-
Distributed over £50K in grants for community groups who responded so effectively to the crisis in Ukraine by supporting Ukrainian guests and their hosts, with generous funding from British Red Cross and the Masonic Charitable Foundation
-
Managed funding of approximately £150K from several sources (DCMS, British Red Cross, M&G and Cubitt & West, as well as a number of our existing Fundholders) focused on easing the worst impacts of the cost of living crisis for hundreds of people.
-
We proudly continued to manage the local grant making for two long-standing local corporate partners (Moneybarn and Kenwood De’Longhi), helping enable them to make a significant impact on the communities local to their businesses.
Sadly, 2023 also saw the end of our phenomenally successful Solent Supporting Employment programme, funded by the European Social Fund, Abri, Sovereign Network Group, Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council. This programme reached nearly four times as many participants as originally expected, and has enabled 1,200 highly vulnerable, disadvantaged or minoritised people to move closer to the workforce, enrol in training or education, or become employed. This was achieved through the brilliant “shoulder to shoulder” support provided by 19 community groups. We are immensely proud of this programme and direct all interested parties to the impact report found here: https://hiwcf.org.uk/solent-supporting-employment-programme-delivers-extraordinary-impact/
Organisational changes
During 2023 we recruited three key new staff: Joanne Davies, to manage our grant making; Lucy Walford, to lead on growing our income through philanthropy; and Heather Wilkins, to develop our increasingly strong communications for all our stakeholder groups. The addition of these new, highly experienced staff signifies an important new phase for HIWCF, ensuring our role as an influential, progressive grant maker and sector body is securely underpinned with the team that can make that happen. Additionally, in the first half of the year, we developed an entirely new database for our grant making and stakeholder relationship management. This was a significant enabler for us to simplify the application process for community groups, improve the internal efficiency of grants administration, enhance our understanding of the impact of our grantmaking and to better manage interactions with stakeholders including improvements on reporting Fund information. This new database means we have also moved away from dependence on a jointly owned UK Community Foundations database, giving us far more autonomy in how we manage grant making in future. Later in the year we overhauled our website to ensure much improved accessibility, simpler and clearer navigation, and a fresher, more modern “store front” for our work.
We were delighted to recruit five new Trustees during 2023, who were all unanimously appointed at our AGM in June. This new cohort of Trustees brings considerable skill and experience in the voluntary sector, business, investment management and legal and governance matters in particular.

HIWCF’s charitable objects and public benefit
HIWCF is an independent grant making charity and company limited by guarantee. Founded in 2003, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Community Foundation serves a population of c.2 million people across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight. The Foundation’s charitable objects for Public Benefit, as defined in the Memorandum & Articles of Association, are:
-
The promotion of charitable purposes for the benefit of the communities of Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Southampton, and Portsmouth;
-
Other exclusively charitable purposes in the UK and elsewhere which are in the opinion of the Trustees beneficial to the community including those in the area of benefit.
In achieving these objects, the Foundation has powers to assist financially or otherwise a charitable trust, association, individual or voluntary organisation, for the purposes of relieving those injured, bereaved, or in need or of other charitable purposes connected with or arising out of the counties of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and cities of Portsmouth and Southampton. The Trustees have given due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in accordance with Section 17 of The Charities Act 2011. These charitable objects are achieved through:
-
Partnering with Government and non-government bodies, local councils, national charities, national, multinational and local companies and philanthropists to manage effective grants programmes which assess applications, make grants, and distribute and monitor funds to charities, voluntary and community organisations that meet the Foundation’s criteria and criteria agreed with funders;
-
Increasing endowment and flow-through/revenue funds under management by providing effective and professional investment management and grant making services, and by retaining existing and attracting new donors;
-
Ensuring that all levels of the Foundation operate to the highest standards
The Trustees refer to guidance on public benefit produced by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Foundation’s charitable objectives and when planning future activities and grant making and are satisfied that these objects meet the appropriate charitable purposes and public benefit criteria as defined by the Charities Act 2016.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Community Foundation, (HIWCF), is an independent Charitable Foundation, registered in 2003 (Charity Registration 1100417) and is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee (04534462). HIWCF is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Articles define the public benefit of HIWCF and set out the powers of the Board of Trustees. The Trustees of the Charity and the principal advisors are listed on pages 1 and 2. The liability of the members in the event of HIWCF being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1. HIWCF is a member of UK Community Foundations, a national organisation that connects and represents the 47 UK Community Foundations at a national level.
Appointment and induction of Trustees
Invitation to join the Board is by selection and consideration is given to expertise, experience, skills, and geographical representation. There is no limit on the number of members of the Company, however at least three members (or 25% of members if greater) must be in attendance for general meetings to be quorate. Board members approve any new Trustees at Board meetings who are then co-opted during the year and appointed at the next Annual General Meeting. New Trustees have a meeting with the Chair, the CEO, key staff with whom they will work and the remaining staff when possible. Induction covers building funds, grant making, policies and procedures. Trustees meet quarterly, alternate meetings are held in person, and the Board meetings work to an agenda which allows ample time for open discussion on all issues including those related to HIWCF’s areas of interest and public benefit.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Business is conducted between Board meetings through five committees which are responsible for reviewing operational activities; Finance, Investment and Risk Committee, Grants Committee, Portsmouth Advisory Board, the Isle of Wight Committee, and the People Committee. In addition, operational fund development activities are supported by a Philanthropy Working Group. The terms of reference for these Committees set out the powers and authority delegated to them. The day-to-day management of HIWCF, the management of grants and the development of the funds is delegated to the Chief Executive and staff.
Monitoring performance
Trustees monitored performance during the year by receiving quarterly reports to both the Finance, Investment and Risk Committee and the full Board on the actions being taken to address the key risks to the Charity of not achieving its strategic aims.
The executive team report to the Board quarterly against a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which enable the Board to retain oversight of our key strategic and development aims as an organisation. These KPIs will be reviewed in June 2024 as part of our wider organizational strategic review.
A full risk management review was undertaken in November 2022, and this is monitored on a quarterly basis. It will be fully reviewed again as part of a wider strategic review in June 2024. The most significant risks for attention during the year were:
-
Uncertainty and downturns in investment markets / economic environment more widely
-
The risk of being unable to effectively pursue all planned sources of funding due to limited staff
-
Our ability to demonstrate impact of grant making
-
The impact of the forthcoming end of ESF Contract (Solent Supporting Employment)
-
Reliance on an outdated database for grant making and philanthropy
-
The need to improve our profile in the region
-
Reliance on key individuals
In November it was agreed to add the potential of financial fraud, particularly cyber crime, as an additional key risk for close monitoring.
Through the quarterly reviews the Trustees are ensuring that all possible steps are being taken to mitigate the risks against achieving the Charity’s objectives. The key risks are monitored by the Finance, Investment and Risk Committee and reported to the Full Board at every quarterly Board meeting. A full Risk Assessment is completed annually or when a specific risk level rises.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
funding partner are fully disclosed, and Trustees (and co-opted panel members) are required to recuse themselves from grant decision making where they have an interest in the grantee body.
The Board of Trustees aims to set a level of grant expenditure from the endowed funds which provides a realistic level of grant making, consistent with the long-term maintenance of the value of the endowed funds, and subject to any conditions imposed by donors.
Each year the Board reviews a level to be distributed in grants from endowment funds. For funds invested with Sarasin it was agreed to distribute 3.5% of the capital value of the fund as at 31 December 2022, with some minor exceptions where slightly more or less was agreed with fund holders for specific projects.
For Community First Funds invested with CCLA we are permitted to distribute the net income and any gains over and above RPI since the inception of the fund. The HIWCF Board has decided to spread the spending of any gains over the subsequent two years. For 2023 this gave an average distribution rate of 0.9% of the value of funds (0.9% distributed in 2022).
The average size of a grant was £4,238 (2022: £4,630). This reflects the ongoing influence of the larger grants made available through the Charles Burnett Memorial Fund (up to £25,000), but also our need to increase the financial value of some support as costs have risen for community groups due to increases in the cost of living and inflationary pressures.
Staff and key management personnel
During 2023 there was an average of 5.5 FTE staff, across seven staff positions; and ten external grants assessors. Two staff members, the Chief Executive, and the Finance Manager, are designated as key management personnel. Pay reviews for all staff including key management personnel are conducted by the People Committee. Recommendations are made to the Finance, Investment & Risk Committee, and finally approved by the Board with effect from 1[st] January [the following year].
Fund development and philanthropy
Our ability to generate a sustainable annual income for distribution to local voluntary and community groups is achieved by encouraging philanthropy, providing donor advised grant making services, and by building relationships with current and prospective donors and to widen recognition of our work and impact in the region, to further grow HIWCF’s grant making potential. Key to this approach is HIWCF’s commitment to help donors identify their philanthropic and charitable interests and to offer them opportunities to make a local difference.
During 2023 we had a total of 130 funds under management (2022: 121), being 100 endowment funds (2022: 100), and 30 flow-through funds (2022:17) providing donors with services tailored to their individual requirements and charitable interests. (Note that a number of flow-through funds carried over from 2022 with limited funds left to disburse).

Financial Review
Restricted Funds
Income in 2023 from flow-through funds totaled £426K (2022: £1,345K). This, together with distributions from endowment funds, helped us distribute £1,481K in grants (2021: £1,911K).
Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted funds returned a surplus of £958K in 2023 for net income and investment (2022 deficit £37K). This was mainly due to investment gains in the last quarter of 2023. Core costs, which totaled £337K in 2022, continued to be well managed and were less than budgeted. Core income of £361K was slightly above budget due to flow-through fund fees.
Endowment Funds
In 2023 no new endowment funds were opened, but one fund had additional funds added to it. Although investment markets remained difficult through 2023, our investments made an unrealised gain of £984K. After income and grant distributions and transfers, the closing balance of endowment funds at 31 December 2023 was £15.2m compared to £14.8m at the end of 2022.
Investment policy
The development of an endowment fund providing sustainable long-term support for local communities is central to the role of HIWCF. The guiding objectives of the Finance, Investment and Risk Committee are to maximise long-term total returns (from income and capital growth), while providing annual income to help fund grant programmes. The committee is experienced in and tasked with monitoring risk and market volatility.
Sarasin and Partners (who replaced Brewin Dolphin in January 2021) and CCLA were the primary investment managers during 2023, between them managing over 90% of our £15.2m endowment assets. Property endowed to HIWCF is approximately 6% of our endowment assets and net rental income is applied to grant making.
The CCLA funds are managed through a ‘central’ contract established by the Government and UKCF.
Investment Strategy and Risk Profile
HIWCF’s policy is to invest funds to achieve a balance between capital growth and income using a medium risk investment strategy.
Ethical Investment and Other Constraints
The Board considers that HIWCF’s interests are best served by seeking to obtain a sound financial return from a suitably diverse portfolio of investments. The Trustees ask the investment managers to have due regard to not investing in companies whose activities could be detrimental to the objectives and aims of HIWCF; these include tobacco, fossil fuel extraction, gambling and arms and munitions.
Investment Performance
After a difficult investment market for most of 2022, we have seen our fund performance generally stabilize, and are pleased to have seen an uplift in the total value of our holdings to £16.2m as at 31 December 2023. Over the year our main funds recorded returns as follows: funds invested with Sarasin showed a total return of +8.3% (2022: -10.8%) and funds invested with CCLA a total return of +13.6% (2022: -9.7%).

HAMPSHIRE AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Our benchmarks ARC Steady Growth, Morningstar UK Target and Morningstar Moderately Active showed increases of 7.1%, 11.1% and 4.9% respectively.
The income yield on our invested funds was down on the previous year - Sarasin was 2.7% (2021: 3.3%) and CCLA, 2.8% (2021: 3.1%).
Reserves Policy
The Trustees aim to hold unrestricted reserves to a level which equates to approximately twelve months of staffing and support costs. At 31st December 2023 the balance on unrestricted reserves amounted to £457,688 compared with £370,068 in the previous year. At current levels unrestricted reserves equate to just under budgeted annual running costs for 2024. The Trustees consider that this level should be adequate to sustain HIWCF for the medium-term.
Endowments and grant making
The bulk of HIWCF’s expenditure is grants distribution. Funding for this is taken from investment returns and flow-through donations received for grant making.
In 2023 HIWCF:
-
Raised donations and legacies of £609K (£2m in 2022)
-
Generated investment income of £406K (£425K in 2022)
-
Distributed a net amount of £1.4m in grants to charities and community groups (£1.9m in 2022)
-
Spent £346K (2022: £337K) of unrestricted funds mainly on grant making and raising funds.
Plans for the future
As we enter 2024, HIWCF are undertaking a strategic review, with completion expected by mid-year. The strategy will reinforce our fundamental commitment to our local communities: that we aim to undertake more effective and inclusive grantmaking at an increased level. The new strategy will be underpinned by renewed fundraising, with particular emphasis on long term growth of our endowment. We will refresh our approach to demonstrating the impact of our grant making and re-position ourselves as thought leaders within the not-for-profit sector in our region.
To achieve this endowment growth is vital, yet we are aware of how difficult that is to achieve during difficult economic times, and particularly without significant matched funding to incentivise endowment donations. But the commitment we make to our communities – that we will be there for them, now and in the future – is the driver towards building the endowment funds. We will continue to work hard at this whilst at the same time effectively managing new and repeat flow through funds, enabling us to fulfil that commitment in the immediate term as well.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Charity Trustees (who are also directors of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Community Foundation for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

AUDITORS’ REPORT
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Community Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the 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 December 2023 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 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 charitable company’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.

AUDITORS’ REPORT
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our 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 has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited 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 require 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' exemptions in preparing the Trustees report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 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 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.

AUDITORS’ REPORT
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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 company through discussions with Trustees and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the 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 charitable company, including the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
-
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.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company’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.
Audit response to risks identified
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
• reviewed all transactions listed;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the 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; and
-
• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
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 noncompliance. 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 auditors’ report.

HAMPSHIRE AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Community Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The organisation has financial reserves held in investments, together with long-term endowments provided by donors. The organisation has cash at bank of £911,493 as a consequence the Trustees believe that the charity is well placed to manage its business risk successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the organisation will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Incoming resources
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from trust transfers and new endowments is recognised when funds are received.
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity, which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Investment income is recorded in the financial statements on the accruals basis and is allocated to individual endowment funds at the end of each quarter on the basis of the fund value at the end of the previous quarter. Interest earned on current accounts is allocated to core funds. Flow-through funds receive no interest except where the fund is required to be held in a separate account.
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Docusign Envelope ID: CF65A7EB-2866-457B-A1E7-CA772A9C2E70
HAMPSHIRE AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
• Costs of raising funds comprise the staff time of key members of staff responsible for business development namely the CEO, Isle of Wight Administrator with support from the Finance Manager and the Marketing Officer, along with directly attributable support costs and a share of overheads proportionate the percentage of staff costs;
• Expenditure on charitable activities includes all grants paid and other costs directly associated with grant making, including donor and fund-holder services and marketing and their associated support costs;
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
-
Irrecoverable VAT is charged at cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake fundraising or charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's objectives. These costs have been allocated between costs of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 5.
Payment of grants
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition. Grants are paid as soon as they fall due. Grants which are payable out of future income and where the beneficiaries are aware they are conditional upon that income being received by the charity, are not accrued in advance of that income being received, so that the expenditure is matched with the income as it arises. Details of any such future commitments are set out in the notes as contingent liabilities.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
The unrestricted fund makes a charge on the other funds as follows:
-
Flow-through funds - as agreed with donor
-
Endowment funds - 1.5% of the fund balance per annum.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
