## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, are pleased to present their report and the financial statements of the charitable company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## Governing document
GrantScape is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company is registered as a charitable company with the Charity Commission. The trustees of the charitable company are also its members. The Memorandum and Articles are regularly reviewed by the trustees and during the year the charitable company’s objects were reviewed and considered appropriate for its activities.
## Recruitment and appointment of trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, a maximum of nine trustees can be appointed. The charitable company has a formal Trustee Recruitment, Induction and Training Policy. Trustees are aware of the need to maintain a balanced skill set and to ensure that a succession plan is in place to safeguard that the Board has the skills that it needs to perform its duties.
During the financial year four new trustees were appointed, these appointments broadened the skill set of trustees with the recruitment instigated in recognition of the impending retirement of two long standing trustees in June 2024 both having reached the end of the charitable company’s maximum tenure period.
Trustees are encouraged and supported to attend appropriate external training events and are expected to keep up to date with changes in regulation and good practice that affect GrantScape. Additionally, updates on changes to regulations and rules that have a direct impact on the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) are reported at quarterly Board meetings with more detailed training provided as required.
## Governance
Trustees meet four times a year for main Board meetings. Interim Grant Committee meetings are conducted by email, usually monthly. Attendance at main Board meetings and participation in discussions is good (80%) as the following table, covering the period April 2023 to March 2024, demonstrates. Post Covid-19 meetings have been a mix of virtual and physical (but all allowing a virtual attendance option). This mix allows for a health and wellbeing choice and also resulted in a reduction to the travel time incurred for trustees wishing to take advantage of virtual attendance. The table below does not differentiate between physical and virtual attendances.

**----- End of picture text -----**
The charitable company continues to pursue an overall policy of transparency and clear communication. The Board of Trustees is required to confirm a 'Declaration of Interest' before any formal meeting thereby managing the risk of a conflict of interest. This is in addition to an annual update to the Register of Interests completed by all trustees and staff. No trustee had any beneficial interest in any contract with the charitable company during the year.
2
## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
The Board approved the 2021-2024 Business Plan in September 2021 as a working document subject to regular updates as required, particularly in marketing and development, as new opportunities occur.
## Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which includes:
- Regular review and update of risks facing the group;
- The establishment of systems and procedures to manage the risks identified, where possible;
- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the group should those risks materialise; and
- Reporting the major risks identified to the Board at each of its meetings.
The identification of risk is now built into the main strategic planning process rather than being treated as a separate activity. Reporting to the Board routinely includes any changes identified in either the impact or probability of major risks occurring. In addition, where new risks are identified, these are highlighted to the Board as part of the normal Board reporting arrangements.
Third party indemnity insurance is in place for the benefit of all trustees and the organisation.
## Subsidiary Undertakings
The charitable company's wholly owned subsidiary, GrantScape Services Limited, exists to undertake trading activities which are outside of our charitable objects. The trading subsidiary was utilised during the year to undertake processing and making of individual subsidy payments to eligible households within the Rookery South Community Energy Initiative (RSCEI) catchment area. This scheme, which commenced payments in 2022 is scheduled to provide annual subsidy payments to households over a 35 years period representing the likely operational life of the energy recycling plant situated in Marston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire.
A second subsidiary, GrantScape Scotland Limited, was incorporated into the Group in December 2023 and handles Scottish LCF work. GrantScape were awarded a contract with Stoneyhill Waste Management Ltd. (an associated company owed by SUEZ Recycling and Recovery Ltd.) in February 2023 to manage donations originating from their Scottish waste operations. This work is regulated by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA). This subsidiary will also be used to manage any new Scottish renewable energy contract work if or when awarded.
## Organisation
The charitable company continues with Matt Young as its Chief Executive, Liz Payne as its Grants Director, Andrew Wallis as its Finance Director and Tina Knibbs as its Marketing & Business Development Director. These posts constitute the Senior Management Team (SMT) of GrantScape who formally meet monthly to discuss the forthcoming workload, resources and grant issues resulting in an agreed minuted action plan.
The charitable company continues to uphold its robust administrative and financial control procedures to ensure that its affairs are managed effectively. The Board of Trustees, who meet quarterly, administer the charitable company and oversee its governance.
To facilitate effective delivery of the charitable company ’s business and development, the Chief Executive directs and manages all day-to-day operational matters within a carefully prescribed and regularly reviewed Delegation of Authority policy. The charitable company maintains a policy of equal opportunities and is committed to the training and personal development of all its staff and trustees. Trustees are therefore confident that GrantScape continues to be staffed by committed and competent people who are able to undertake their duties to a high standard.
3
## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
The remuneration of key management personnel is set by or reviewed by the trustees with reference to remuneration levels of similar positions in the sector. Similarly, staff salaries generally are referenced to similar positions in the sector or in the local area, depending on the nature of the role. Six-monthly staff appraisals/performance reviews are undertaken by the SMT.
The charitable company continues to be enrolled as an Environmental Body (EB) with ENTRUST, the regulatory organisation which oversees the administration and operation of the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF).
The charitable company ’s subsidiary, GrantScape Scotland Limited, is enrolled as an EB with SEPA, the regulatory organisation which oversees the administration and operation of the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund (SLCF).
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objects of the charitable company are to promote the protection, preservation and improvement of the environment for the benefit of the public and to advance the education of the public in matters concerning the environment, its conservation and protection. In addition, GrantScape has a role in the promotion of efficient and effective operation of charities and efficient use of charitable resources by both charitable and non-charitable bodies.
During the financial year, the charitable company continued to develop and tailor its SmartSimple (SS) grants database implemented in April 2020. The database continues to demonstrate significant grant administration improvements and efficiency savings. Applicants can log into and utilise the extensive online facilities to apply for and manage any awarded grant funding. The SS system is available 24/7improving the user experience and providing fully electronic applications, contracting, reporting and feedback.
The charitable company ’s mission remains as:
“To maintain our position as a leading UK grant _-making charitable company by creating and delivering grant programmes which exceed the expectations of our valued clients and grantees, each and every_ time”.
To do this GrantScape will:
- Increase our market presence so that potential corporate clients/commissioners are aware of who we are and what we do;
- Transfer our grant-making expertise and related skills to other markets or different segments of the current market; and
- Work with partners and/or collaborate with other organisations to strengthen our offering or expand our business activities.
Specific actions to deliver these objectives are set out in the Business Plan 2021-2024, covering this reporting period. In March 2024, a new three-year business plan was established setting new targets for 2024 to 2027.
## Public Benefit
The trustees confirm that they have considered the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charitable company ’s aims and objectives, planning future activities and reviewing the grant-making policy. With its background in grant-making, under LCF regulations, an approach of ensuring that broad public benefit is at the heart of any funded project is deeply ingrained within the organisation and is a key factor in the development of all grant programmes.

## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## Grant-making Policy
The charitable company ’s grant -making policy, adopted in January 2006, was last reviewed by the trustees in September 2023. It states that:
- GrantScape will only make grants in line with its charitable objects
- Grants will be made to projects that improve the environment and the life of communities
- GrantScape will make available specific criteria for each of the grant programmes that it manages
- GrantScape will normally convene and seek the views of a local Grant Panel made up of individuals who have relevant knowledge and experience within the geographic area and funding criteria of the specific grant programme
- Grants will be made on a justifiable and fair basis to projects which provide best value
- Where a number of applications are found to meet all the criteria but funding is limited and not all applications can be supported, then grants will generally be awarded in line with the scores and/or recommendations awarded by the local Grant Panel
- All grant offers are made subject to meeting the generic grant making criteria, the specific grant programme criteria and approval of the Board.
## Activities
GrantScape continues to administer grant programmes for on-shore wind energy companies, off-shore wind developers and solar energy developers. GrantScape has built a positive and professional reputation for the delivery of high-quality community funds (CF) within the renewable energy sector.
Supplementary activities, such as community consultation exercises and consultancy work aim to raise the standard of grant applications and grant-making in the sector and are undertaken when appropriate opportunities arise.
The making of grants from donations received from landfill operators under the LCF and, from February 2023, the SLCF remains a substantial part of GrantScape’s activities . These grants must be compliant with the objects of the LCF/SLCF which require that projects provide an identifiable benefit to the public or, at least, to a reasonably broad section of the public.
Our Grants Team aim to structure grant programmes and their criteria in such a way that they attract sufficient high-quality applications to be oversubscribed but not so many that it is impossible to assess and compare the applications fairly. GrantScape operates an online application process and clearly publicises the closing and final decision dates for all grant programmes on its website.
Applications received are assessed internally to ensure compliance with each grant programme’s criteria. Most grant programmes are then reviewed by a local or specialist Advisory Group and lastly by the charitable company ’s Board of Trustees, who make the final decision on which grants will be approved. At this point the funds are considered committed, but grants are not accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities until a signed funding offer is in place.
GrantScape remains extremely proud of its record whereby it has, without fail, always met the final decision dates publicly stated. In other words, groups have always been informed of the outcome of their application in line with the dates we have published on the website.
We continue to review and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our grant-making processes. Grants continue to be contracted much quicker than in the past. Due diligence is taken to ensure that external factors (planning permissions, facilities, formalising leases, obtaining additional funding etc.) are properly considered. Grants will normally be withdrawn if the funding offer is not signed within 12 months, although we are sensitive to factors outside the applicant ’ s control and will liaise with them to agree the best course of action if projects are delayed. We take pride in providing a professional and supportive grant delivery service.
The majority of grants approved are paid in full and to the schedule agreed at the start of the grant. However, for a variety of reasons, a small number of grants are not fully claimed or have to be withdrawn. In these cases, the amounts underspent are returned to the relevant pot of uncommitted funding and reallocated at the next opportunity.

## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
The charitable company is indebted to the many volunteers who make up the Advisory Panels, who numbered approximately 180 in the year under review without whom the quality of our grant decisions would undoubtedly be poorer.
– Grant making activity in the year Renewable Energy Funds
GrantScape has invested several years in developing and maintaining relationships with wind and solar developers and in offering them a positive, transparent and straightforward way of delivering their Community Funds. Our geographical spread of funds across England and Wales is impressive, and we can provide more and more funding opportunities to communities throughout the country.
GrantScape’s growth over the recent years has been notable, and we aim to continue to grow the number of community funds we administer where opportunities arise. In 2023/24 we have contracted – 309 (2022/23 243) projects for the 24 (2022/23 - 23) CFs active during the year, totalling £2,246,097 (2022/23 - £2,044,272). A summary of the projects contracted is set out in the table below, in note 6 to the accounts and with the full list of grants contracted in Appendix 2.

We have now completed the ninth year of the Burbo Bank Extension Community Fund administered on behalf of Orsted. The Fund has two rounds each year, with a total donation of £225,000 per annum to distribute.
The Walney Extension Community Fund is now into year eight and provides approximately £600,000 each year for projects in coastal locations within Lancashire and Cumbria. Part of the fund is ring-fenced to support local skills development and education, specifically in the areas of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths).
The third CF for Orsted, the East Coast Community Fund, provides grants to coastal community groups located from Bridlington to just east of Hunstanton on the North Norfolk coast, made its first awards in June 2017. This is a £465,000 per annum community fund and, similar to the Walney Fund, also ringfences a proportion of the monies for STEM projects.
The Red Gap Wind Farm Community Fund was launched in March 2017 and made its seventh round of awards in July 2023. In total GrantScape administers seven separate CFs for sites managed by Netro Energy.
The CF for the Denzell Downs Wind Farm in Cornwall, made its seventh year of funding during this financial year, as has the CF for the Hallburn Wind Farm development in Cumbria. The Pen Bryn Oer Wind Farm CF awarded its first grants in June 2018 and provides an RPI linked £30,000 each year for the twenty-five year operational period of the development. We are administering six long term CFs for sites owned by RES (Renewable Energy Systems).
We continued to manage the Middlemoor CF on behalf of RWE and commenced a new contract with Statkraft managing their portfolio of Greener Grid Park Community Funds throughout the UK.
Details of all our grant programmes, the level of funding available, the full criteria and how and when to apply are fully detailed on our website www.grantscape.org.uk.

## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
Grant-making activity in the year – Landfill Communities Fund
Under the Landfill Tax regulations operators are able to donate a percentage of their landfill tax liability to EB’s enrolled with the LCF Regulator, ENTRUST, to be distributed as grants to compliant projects located in the vicinity of a landfill site. Details of the funding criteria for each grant programme can be found on our website. At year end GrantScape managed contracted LCF schemes on behalf of seven landfill operators.
During the year, GrantScape commenced a new LCF grant programme with Stonegrave Aggregates Ltd., a member of the Ashcourt Group, having been awarded the contract in December 2023. As expected, the Whitemoss LCF grant programme contract was transferred to the Veolia Environmental Trust by Veolia ES Landfill Ltd. We also saw the last LCF donations receivable from Caird Peckfield Ltd as the landfill site reached capacity.
Rolling programmes active during this year were: **Augean Community Fund Mick George Community Fund Bradley Park Waste Management Caird Peckfield Community Fund Stonegrave Aggregates Ltd**
**Coastal Recycling Community Fund Whitemoss Community Fund The Sandsfield Community Fund SUEZ Recycling and Recovery Ltd**

GrantScape is an active member of the Association of Distributive and Environmental Bodies (ADEB), the membership association for the practitioners within the scheme. We remain members of Charity Finance Group (CFG), and the Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF). We continue to maintain our knowledge of the wider charitable sector through our links with the Grant Funders’ Network.
## **Achievements and Performance**
We are currently working with a total of 21 individual clients to administer grant programmes or provide grant management related services.
The key targets for the past twelve months were set by the 2021-24 Business Plan. Our aims were to continue to expand our renewable energy portfolio of community funds and develop our grant services into other areas, whilst ensuring we retain our high level of grant-making service and excellent relations with our current clients. Opportunities to expand were limited but, having retained the management of the Hampole Wind Farm, following its transfer from Good Energy Ltd to Bluefield Solar in 2022, we have been awarded further sites with Bluefield Solar and we have been contracted by Statkraft to manage their Keith Greener Parks Cf with discussions to manage further sites on-going
In January 2024 we commenced the administration of “Year 3 ” of the Rookery South Community Energy Initiative (RSCEI) though our wholly owned subsidiary, GrantScape Services which saw approximately 2,500 individual payments between March and May 2024 to previously registered households in eight parishes in Central Bedfordsdhire. . The subsidy scheme is a 35 year commitment by Rookery South Ltd. GrantScape also continued to manage a separate Community Trust Fund for Rookery South Ltd. providing funding open to not-for-profit organisations in a similar catchment area to the RSCEI.

## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
In December 2023 a positive Financial Investment Decision (FID) was made by Orsted giving the goahead to commence the Hornsea 3 CBF. This new fund will see approximately £700,00 per annum available for grants. £500,000 will be split equally under two funding round per annum for community and environmental projects; £100,000 will be ring-fence for a skills fund; £100,000 will be ring fenced each year for the ‘Hornsea 3 Legacy Fund’ to support a single capital flagship project that meets specific criteria and is ‘Inspired by Green’. Organisations applying for funds must reflect on their environmental impact and take positive action in relation to environmental sustainability and carbon reduction.
In other work for Orsted, we issued the seventh edition of a bi-yearly Newsletter in the Spring of 2024 to demonstrate the positive impact of the four current funds we now administer on their behalf.
2023/24 saw the award of further wind and solar farm community fund contracts with Bluefield Solar Ltd. which require Grantscape to oversee the expanding number of Bluefield sites. We continued to work with RWE to manage the Middlemoor Community Fund covering both group and individual grant awards. Additionally, we contracted with Statkraft to administer their portfolio of Greener Grip Park Community Funds, commencing with the Keith Community Fund in Scotland.
We continued to further develop and analyse the social value and impact that our grant-making has on the community areas we fund and how we can share and communicate the impact we make with other groups and stakeholders. This remains an area we are keen to focus on and develop further in 2024/25 and beyond.
Our Website - During the year continued to work on populating information on the projects we have funded. We fully reviewed our services web page to ensure all funders’ grant criteria was up -to-date and make clearer the added value GrantScape strongly believes it provides within the sectors we operate.
## Climate Change
In March 2024, we completed a full review of all our activities to establish practical and achievable policies and action plans to reduce our own environmental impact. These will be reviewed and monitored quarterly by the trustees and progress reported on our website.
We will also report the progress we have made through ACF’s Funder Commitment on Climate Change (https://fundercommitmentclimatechange.org), an Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF) initiative, of which GrantScape are members and which we signed up to in December 2021.
## Grant Beneficiary Feedback
Feedback from all grant recipients on the quality of our grant-making service continues to be excellent overall. It was pleasing to receive again some very positive comments, including:
## _**RNB 2023-13095 - Mynydd Portref Community Fund**_
If it was not for Grantscape assistance, this would have made cost of roof repair difficult to finance. I would like to say thank you to the Grant Officer for his assistance in completing the application process.
## _**ORS / 3338 - Walney Extension Skills Fund**_
Every interaction I've had with Grantscape and the team has been great. Reports were easy to complete and submit, and it meant we could spend more time focussing on delivering our projects and making a difference.

We would like to thank you at Grantscape for supporting the work of this project and understanding the challenges in delivering beyond the pandemic and working within the confines of a small but committed team.

Thank you. _**ORS / 3368 - Walney Extension Community Fund**_

## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## Trading Activity
The majority of grant-making administration for renewable energy funds and the related set-up activity is channelled through GrantScape and going forward we expect the majority of trading activities to be within our charitable objects. The only current trading exceptions are the Rookery South Community Energy Initiative which is channelled through GrantScape Services, surpluses from this contract are returned to the charitable company though Gift Aid provisions and the Scottish Landfill Community Fund administration which is managed through GrantScape Scotland Ltd. again with the requirement to pass all operating surpluses back to the parent charity.
## **Financial Review**
## Income
The level of LCF donations increased this year by approximately £177,000 to £2,684,118 (2023 - £2,507,987), this was largely due to the full year effect of LCF donations from SUEZ (£1,576,102 ) offset principally by the expected reducing donations from Caird Peckfield and Mick George Ltd.
In addition we saw Scottish LCF donations received of £508,910 from Stoneyhill Waste Management Ltd, part of the SUEZ group, which were accounted for through GrantScape Scotland Ltd.
Donations for renewable energy CFs were £2,147,796 in the year (2023 - £2,055,817).
Total interest receivable of £144,944 (2023 - £51,455) was broadly in line with our expectations and is consistent with the interest rates experienced throughout the financial year and the level of cash balances held during the year. Of this sum £45,638 was directly receivable by GrantScape for use towards administrative costs.
## Expenditure
All LCF donations received are subject to a levy by the LCF regulator, ENTRUST. This was 3.38% (2023 – 3.56%) throughout the year under review at cost of £96,635 (2023 - £53,154). The Scottish LCF donations are subject to a levy of 3% by SEPA.
Charitable activity in the year totalled £5,762,262 (2023 - £4,171,341) (see Note 6) an increase of approximately 38%. The split between LCF grant-making and renewable energy grants in cost terms, was a 44/56 ratio (2023 - 49/51). The LCF saw a total of 124 new grants worth £2,629,522 (2023 – 103 grants - £1,808,605) being contracted. In volume terms, renewable energy grants were significantly more numerous, with 309 grants totalling £2,246,097 (2023 - 243 grants totalling £2,044,272) being contracted but the value of the grants from the renewable energy programmes are generally much smaller than the LCF with less regulatory or administrative requirements to manage. The level of grants withdrawn (£39,430) or underspent (£79,334) has reduced this year, at £118,764 across all grant programmes, compared to £204,303 in 2023.
The total cost of delivery of grant programmes was £386,072 including attributable support costs compared to £401,537 in 2023. Delivery of other consultancy work including attributable support costs totalled £17,309 (2023 - £14,276).
The cost of development work, which includes any tendering and bidding activities undertaken, mostly comprises time spent by GrantScape staff, together with attributable support costs, and totalled £32,715 this year (2023 - £30,766).
The timescale in which approved grants come to contract is something which is largely outside the control of the charitable company, being reliant on the applicant group to complete any pre-contract conditions, although every effort is being made to speed up this process and enable funds to be applied to projects more quickly.

## **GRANTSCAPE**
## **Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## Balance sheet
The key figures in the balance sheet and other supporting notes relate to the cash balances and how these are to be expended. The charitable company ’s Reserves Policy recognises the categories noted below as separately designated reserve funds.
At 31 March 2024 cash balances totalled £6,306,882 (2023 - £6,168,362), of which £2,559,516 (2023 - £3,811,843) is held in separate bank and deposit accounts for funds received in respect of wind energy grant programmes and £348,503 is held in respect of Rookery South Community Trust Fund and the Community Energy Initiative subsidy scheme with the balance being LCF/SLCF and GrantScape’s unrestricted funds.
## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties**
As noted above, the charitable company routinely considers the principal risks it is facing. With such a small team, a major risk is losing a key member of staff. However, the charitable company remains confident that all operational, managerial and administrative procedures all have appropriate backup to continue should we experience the loss of key staff. Additionally, the Risk Register is updated quarterly and presented to the Board on the same basis.
## **Cost of Living**
We continue to closely monitor and react to cost of living concerns. However, with falling levels of inflation in the second half of the year and the 5% pay award made in October 2023 there has been less pressure than that experienced during 2022/23. No supplementary payments over and above basic salaries were paid during 2023/24.
In summary the cost of living increases experienced to date have not had any material effect on budgets and will have been fully offset by RPI increases to contractual administrative fees and give no concern to current or future financial viability.
Other risks identified by the charity are:
|ther risks identified by the charity are:||
|---|---|
|Risk|Risk management strategy|
|The loss of some or all LCF
donations remains a high risk and
the scheme could cease at relatively
short notice, although we are now
confident the LCF is not under
immediate threat.|
Staff seek to maintain a positive relationship with the landfill
operators who make LCF donations to us, and so far we have
been advised well in advance of any significant changes,
either up or down, in the level of donations.|
|Loss of money held in trust.|All money is held in established cash or cash equivalent
accounts to minimise investment risk. There are strong
controls over payments with the recognition that the
seemingly ever-growing presence of cybercrime requires
constant vigilance.|
|Lack of free (unrestricted) reserves
to maintain and develop new
activities.|Trustees are very aware that free reserves need to be
monitored carefully and this forms a key part of the Board’s
review of finances each quarter. All new initiatives are
carefully costed before being given the go ahead.|
## Reserves Policy
The trustees aim to maintain the LCF Administration Reserve at a level sufficient to cover staff time for such a period as is required to complete the distribution of the remaining funds. The amount required will be reviewed on an annual basis. The balance on the GrantScape LCF Administration Reserve at 31 March 2024 was £257,813 (2023 - £205,321).
12
## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
The ambition of the trustees is to achieve a more balanced mix between unrestricted and restricted fund activities and to be able to supplement the unrestricted fund with any surpluses earned from grantmaking activity, either through the charitable company or via the trading companies. Until this occurs, it is not practicable to set financial targets for the unrestricted fund and trustees will continue to monitor closely our ability to fund known future activity. The free reserves currently stand at £159,427 (2023 - £126,705).
The Reserves Policy is reviewed in June of each year and any updates noted and approved by the Board.
## Investment policy
The Investment Policy was reviewed in June 2024 and states:
The Board recognises the need to achieve the best possible returns on the money the group holds. However, the Board believes that responsible selection of financial institutions and security of funds should take precedence over return.
The majority of money held by the group is intended to meet commitments made under a grant offer, or for administering grant-making. It should therefore be placed in cash or near-cash deposits, thus enabling the charitable company to meet its cash commitments.
The Board also requires that the charitable company ’s deposits should be spread across a number of financial institutions in order to reduce the risk that failure of a financial institution will have a serious impact on the charitable company.
The spread of and return from investments is reviewed quarterly and reported to the Board at each meeting.
## **Plans for 2024/25 and Beyond**
The targets for 2024/25 will continue as previous years as experience has shown that the opportunities are still available, and the business model of growth and expansion in the renewable industry does work. We are keen to continue to expand our portfolio and diversity of CFs we administer to reduce the risks to the organisation should one of the larger funds or schemes the charitable company administers comes to an end.
In December 2023 GrantScape’s trustees and staff held a strategic review of the direction of the charitable company to identify the Business Plan targets for the next three years of its development. In March 2024, the high level targets were agreed and the delivery of the 2024/2027 business plan has commenced.
GrantScape also intends to develop further its recently incorporated non-profit subsidiary GrantScape Scotland Ltd to ensure it is well positioned to bid for opportunities for wind farm CBF administration in Scotland. This continues to represent an exciting opportunity for the company to expand operations and one which, if successful, could see significant growth for the organisation.
## **Other Targets 2023/24**
Trustee Recruitment – during 2023/24 GrantScape actively embarked on a recruitment drive to identify new trustees to join the Board, to both widen its skills diversity and to plan ahead for the endof-tenure departures of two long-term trustees (Michael Clarke and Antony Cox) who left the charitable company in June 2024. Both trustees were qualified accountants, so GrantScape specifically targeted and appointed a qualified accountant as a direct replacement to ensure the maintenance of suitable standards of financial governance. As part of this process, the charitable company also looked to identify and appoint a new Chair, and were fortunate to appoint Elizabeth Cooper, an experienced lawyer, initially as a trustee in October 2023, then acceding to the Chair role from June 2024. Additionally, we were privileged to receive applications from a number of well qualified candidates and made three further appointments to the Board up until June 2024. As at June 2024 the Board is at its regulatory maximum of 9 trustees.

## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
Our Impact - We continue to develop further and analyse the social value and environmental impact that our grant-making has on the community areas we fund and how we can share and communicate the impact we make. We aim to make better use of social media and our website to help demonstrate this impact to groups, our clients, and our wider stakeholders.
Continuous Improvement of Systems - During the year we are committed to continue to identify ways of improving our grant-making processes and database systems to better, improve efficiency and simplify the experience for our applicants. We will continue to improve our website pages to make the process of identifying funding opportunities easier for all.
Environment Awareness and Carbon Reduction - Additionally, we will deliver on the action plans following a full environmental audit of the organisation’s impact to reduc e our own environmental footprint. We are committed to improving our internal carbon literacy and encouraging applicants, through all the Funds we administer, to consider their own environmental impacts too when submitting applications for grants.
Our Website - During the year we plan to continue to work on updating and populating information on the projects we have funded and we also intend to continue to simplify our website pages for the benefit of our applicants.

## **GRANTSCAPE Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of GrantScape for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the Group and of the income and expenditure of the charitable company and the group for that period. In preparing those 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; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company and the Group will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company ’s and the G roup’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the Group and, hence, for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Statement of disclosure to auditors**
Insofar as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company ’s and the G roup’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.
The maintenance and integrity of the charitable company ’s website is the responsibility of the trustees. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Auditors**
Our auditors, in their third year of engagement, are Mercer and Hole LLP, who have expressed their willingness to continue in office.
## **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.
## **Approved by the Board on 16 September 2024 and signed on its behalf by:**
**Elizabeth Cooper Chair**

## **GRANTSCAPE**
## Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of GrantScape
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of GrantScape (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (including Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheets, the Consolidated 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 group’s and parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 , and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 group and parent 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 fulfill ed 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 group’s or parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a go ing 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.

## **GRANTSCAPE**
## Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of GrantScape **(continued)**
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ 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, 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 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.
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 the audit:
- the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the directors’ report has 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 group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ 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 parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified bylaw are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
- 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 directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
17
## **GRANTSCAPE**
## Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of GrantScape **(continued)**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 1 4 the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent 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 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 groups and parent 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 group or parent 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
We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with this Act.
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.
## **Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. These included, but were not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and tax legislation.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and the financial report (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate entries including journals to overstate revenue or understate expenditure and management bias in accounting estimates.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
- discussions with management, including considerations of known or suspected instances of non- compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
- gaining an understanding of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; and
- identifying and testing journal entries.
18
## **GRANTSCAPE**
## Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of GrantScape **(continued)**
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
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 Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 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 membe rs, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **GRANTSCAPE**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **Accounting policies**
## **a) General information**
GrantScape is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the company information.
The principal activity of the charity is to promote the protection and preservation and improvement of the environment for the benefit of the public.
The company meets the definition of a public benefit entity in accordance with FRS 102.
The financial statements are rounded to the nearest round pound.
## **b) Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. In preparing the financial statements the charity follows best practice as set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice: 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' (SORP 19), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities and Companies Acts.
## **c) Basis of consolidation**
The group financial statements consolidate those of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 March 2024 . The results of the charity’s non -charitable subsidiaries, GrantScape Services Limited and GrantScape Scotland Limited have been consolidated on a line by line basis. A separate statement of financial activities and income and expenditure account are not presented for the charity itself following the exemptions afforded by the Companies Act 2006 and Charities SORP.
## **d) Income**
- i) Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) donations and Renewable Energy CBF donations are recognised on a receivable basis;
- ii) Other donations, including gift aid donations, are recognised on a received basis;
- iii) Fees receivable for administering Renewable Energy Community Benefit Funds are recognised on a receivable basis; these monies are now received by the charity and are reported under Charitable Activities.
- iv) Income from commercial trading activities (consultancy; project management) is recognised as earned;
- v) Interest receivable is recognised on a receivable basis.
23
## **GRANTSCAPE**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)**
## **e) Funds held as agent**
Where funds are held as agent on behalf of a third party, and disbursed on their behalf against invoices addressed to the third party, neither the transactions nor the cash balances are reflected in the accounts of the charity. Income in respect of the provision of the service is accounted for as set out in 1(d) (iii) above.
## **f) Expenditure**
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive, where applicable, of any VAT which cannot be recovered and comprise the following:
- i) Costs of generating funds includes those costs and attributable support costs directly related to the consultancy and project management activities undertaken;
- ii) Charitable activities comprise expenditure on the charity’s primary charitable purposes as described in the Report of the Trustees, and include:
- grant expenditure – grants for projects are recognised in full in the accounts once a signed funding offer is in place, since control for meeting the conditions of the grant (the “milestones”) passes to the grant recipient regardless of the expected duration of the grant;
- other direct expenses and attributable support costs incurred on the specific objects of the charity.
- iii) Governance costs comprise costs incurred (including attributable support costs) on the governance of the charity, (organisational and strategic procedures) and the necessary legal procedures for compliance with statutory requirements, as shown in note 8.
## **g) Fund accounting**
The unrestricted fund comprises those monies which may be used towards meeting the general charitable objects of the charity at the discretion of the trustees. This includes the element of donations from wind energy companies attributed to administration of the grant programmes.
Restricted funds are monies donated for a specific purpose. The charity treats all LCF donations and the element of donations from wind energy companies specifically for grants as restricted funds.
## **h) Tangible fixed assets**
All assets costing more than £500 and with an expected useful life of more than one year are capitalised. Depreciation is not charged on expenditure on assets not yet in use. Depreciation on other tangible fixed assets is charged so as to write off their full costs, less estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives at the following rates:
Office equipment: Office furniture - 20% of cost Other office equipment - 33[1] /3% of cost
24
## **GRANTSCAPE**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)**
## **i) Intangible fixed assets**
All assets valued at or costing more than £500 and with an expected useful life of more than one year are capitalised. Depreciation is not charged on expenditure on assets not yet in use.
Database Implementation and development - 20% of cost
## **j) Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents are 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.
## **k) Pensions**
The charity provides a defined contribution pension scheme, the assets of which are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. This is a group personal pension scheme, to which the charity contributed 5% of gross salary. Contributions to this scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities/Income and Expenditure account as they become payable.
## **l) Financial instruments**
The charity only has financial asset and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction values and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **m) Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In applying the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The directors' judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.
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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key estimates and assumptions made in these accounts are:
i ) Due to the nature of the Charity’s activities and financial statements, the trustees do not consider there to be any significant judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty with a material impact on the financial statements.
25
## **GRANTSCAPE**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)**
## **n) Going Concern**
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. GrantScape’s Board and Senior Management Team have fully considered the principle operational and financial risks and uncertainties facing the Company, including the potential impact of further future COVID-19 restrictions, Brexit and the high inflation rates being experienced. The appraisal determined that they do not create a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore management have determined that the use of the going concern assumption is both appropriate and warranted.

All grants are made to organisations or properly constituted groups. Where grants are made using donations received under the LCF, they must also meet the requirements of that Fund. The “Projects contracted in year” are net of grants withdrawn (£39,430) while “Grants no longer required” represent underspends (£79,33 3) on completed projects in the year.

## **7. Allocation of Support and Governance Costs**
The charity initially identifies what proportion of staff, time, and an attribution of other costs are spent in directly undertaking charitable and consultancy activities. In addition, time spent directly on development work, including tendering and bidding and on governance activity is allocated. Expenses directly relating to these activities are also allocated at this stage.

Historically, the majority of grant making activity centred on the LCF, however, in recent years the level of funds received and work undertaken for the wind/solar energy grant making and non-LCF consultancy work has developed considerably. In the 12 month period non-LCF grant making costs exceeded that of LCF (including the Scottish LCF costs) by £63,465 (a 57/43 ratio split). We do anticipate that the basis of allocation of support and governance costs will need to be continually reviewed in future years as the balance of work continues to change.

Remuneration for key management personnel, including pension contributions, in the year, totalled £209,169 (2023- £206,570).
The trustees are not remunerated. However, the Memorandum and Articles of Association permit reimbursement of expenses, plus payment to no more than 50% of trustees for professional services. No trustees have been paid for their professional services during the year (2023 - £nil). The level of expenses foregone by trustees is deemed to be immaterial.

## GrantScape LCF Funds
Monies received from each LCF donor are accounted for separately, and for each the following sub-analysis is maintained for funds available for grant-making:
LCF funds not yet committed – reflects the balance of LCF funds available for distribution as grants. Funds are transferred from this to the “committed not yet contracted” reserve following funding decisions taken at trustees’ meetings. Where grant recipients do not draw down all funds granted, or where grants are withdrawn after being contracted, funds not utilised are returned to this reserve, which may result in the “outgoing funds” being a net positive figure.
– LCF funds committed not yet contracted this represents funds allocated to grants, but awaiting a formal funding agreement. Outgoing resources represent grants for which a formal funding offer is now in place. Where grants are withdrawn before being contracted, surplus funds are transferred back to “funds not yet committed”.
LCF Administration Reserve – historically, as LCF funds have been received, an amount, currently 7.5%, but previously 10%, has been retained to cover future grant administration costs. These funds are to enable the charity to undertake the administration of grants through to completion and then to monitor the ongoing use of assets funded by the grant. The level of funds held within this reserve is kept under review.
