Achievements and performance
e Key performance indicators
The Trust's key financial performance indicator is net income on unrestricted funds which the trustees consider for grant making purposes and the longer term aim of maintaining the value of the invested funds.
e Review of activities
The funds of the Trust continue to produce investment income for the beneficiaries of the Trust.
The Trust has donated amounts to charitable organisations in accordance with the Trust Deed, details of which are shown in the notes to the financial statements.
e Investment policy and performance
There is no restriction on the Charity’s power to invest. The investment strategy will be set periodically by the Trustees to take account of the need for funds and the underlying value of the assets.
The Trustees continued to engage Quilter Cheviot to provide investment management services throughout the year. The investment portfolio contains a spread of investments which continue to be managed on a "medium" risk basis with a medium to long term investment horizon. The overall aim of the trustees is to achieve progressively increasing income for distribution, together with longer term capital growth.
During the period under review the portfolio reflected the general movement in the value of quoted investments and resultant yields.
Financial review
® Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
® Reserves policy
The Trustees’ policy is to distribute income arising, taking one year with the next, and to transfer any undistributed surplus to reserves. The balance on unrestricted reserves as at 5 April 2025 was £71,030 (2024 £62,531). which is in line with the Trustees’ expectations for grant making in the forthcoming year.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
e observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

e make judgements and accounting 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 financial statements;

—_————————— 1. General information
The Roy and Pixie Baker Charitable Trust is a Charitable Trust, charity registration number 1101988. The principal office is 32 Portland Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 1QP,
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Roy and Pixie Baker Charitable Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income All income is recognised once 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.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in investment management fees.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.4 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
- 2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
- 2.6 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
- 2.7 Debtors
_ Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount.
2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
-
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
-
2.9 Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

All investments are carried at their fair value. Investment 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. The main risk to the Trust from these financial instruments lies in the combination of uncertain investment markets and volatility in yield. The Trust manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges. The Trust does not make use of derivatives and similar complex financial instruments as it takes the view that investments are held for their longer term.
