TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2021.
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 Declaration of Trust dated 6 December 2002 , the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
The Lord Dacre of Glanton Charitable Trust was set up in his will by Lord Dacre of Glanton, formerly Hugh Trevor-Roper, the historian and former Regius Professor of History at the University of Oxford. He wished to provide for the 'Furtherance of Education', with particular reference to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
He invited the Trustees to interpret his guidance flexibly, but wished them in the first instance to concentrate on support for the tutorial system in the subjects of History and Classics in those Oxford Colleges with which he had been associated: Christ Church, Merton, and Oriel. He also requested his Trustees not to overlook Peterhouse, the Cambridge college where he had been Master. The Trustees have accordingly supplied funding to those four colleges.
They have also, in the light of changes of financial need, widened the initial scope of their support in two respects: to assist other Oxford colleges and the Oxford Faculties of History and Classics; and to provide scholarships for graduate students.
In its activities during the year, the Trustees have paid due regard to these Objectives.
In setting these objectives and planning our activities the Trustees have paid due regard to the public benefit guidance issues by the Charity Commission.
Achievements and performance
During the year the trust funds remained suitably invested in accordance with Lord Dacre’s wishes, and the Trustess have continue with a policy of building up reserves, when appropriate, as a reserve against future spending programs.
During the year, Covid 19 restrictions curbed the ability for the Trustees to meet together. However the Trustees were able to keep in regular touch electronically. The annual Dacre Lecture was postponed until October 2021.
Financial review
A summary of the results for the year is given on page 4 . The overall surplus for the year is carried forward as permanent endowments.
The Trust will continue to hold its investment assets in order to transfer monies into the endowment fund to further its objectives.

In preparing these accounts, 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;
