**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
## **Trustees' report**
The Trustees, who are Directors for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, are pleased to present their Annual Report together with the audited Financial Statements of The James Tudor Foundation (“The Foundation”) for the year ended 30 September 2025.
The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and Financial Statements comply with the current statutory requirements and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: the Statement of Recommended Practice issued effective 1 January 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)). The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Reference and administrative details of the charity, the Trustees, advisers, and key management of The Foundation during the year under review and up to the date of the signing of the Trustees’ report, are set out on pages 1 and 2 and form part of this report.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The governing documents for The Foundation are the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Trustees are appointed by the Board. The Articles of Association provide for a minimum of three Trustees, to a maximum of ten.
The Foundation was funded by an endowment following the transfer of membership rights from Bristol Contributory Welfare Association Limited (BCWA) to Hospital Savings Association Group in 2004. The Foundation honoured disbursal obligations that were made at inception and their fulfilment resulted in over £5 million being provided to charitable causes up to February 2007. Since the conclusion of the obligation, Trustees have set a strategy of living within The Foundation’s means so that future beneficiaries are not disadvantaged; this strategy has allowed a further £14.9 million to be awarded to charitable organisations since February 2007.
The Board has formally approved arrangements for the recruitment and induction of new Trustees and keeps the skills requirement of the Board under review. If a Trustee retires, or additional Trustees are required, the Board considers recruitment. On appointment, new Trustees are provided with an information pack containing a brief history of The Foundation, copies of the latest set of Board minutes, a copy of the most recent Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, together with copies of the Charity Commission's guidance "The Essential Trustee", the Good Governance Code and public benefit guides. New Trustees are asked to attend an induction with the Executive Team at The Foundation’s offices.
All Trustees give their time freely and no remuneration was paid in this year to any Trustee of The Foundation. Details of Trustees’ expenses are disclosed in the financial statements (see Note 7). Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests, and these are reviewed annually and recorded in the Trustees' register. In the event of a potential conflict of interest the affected Trustee does not take part in any decision making and this is recorded in the minutes of the relevant meeting.
Changes in Board personnel during the year are disclosed under Reference and administrative details on page 1.
3 The Foundation’s financial year runs from 1 October to 30 September; meetings of the Board,
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
at which grants are awarded, were held in December, March, June, and September. This year, an additional, extraordinary Board meeting was held in January to consider applications to the Palliative Care funding programme. The Trustees also held a meeting in April to finalise the review of The Foundation's funding priorities. Any discretionary awards agreed by The Foundation’s Trustees outside of Board meetings were ratified at the next available Board meeting. At their quarterly meetings the Board agree strategy and areas of activity for The Foundation, including consideration of grantmaking, monitoring, and evaluation of awards, investments, reserves, risk-management policies, and The Foundation’s general performance. The day-to-day administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the Board is delegated to The Foundation’s Chief Executive.
The Foundation is run on a day-to-day basis by The Foundation’s Chief Executive, currently assisted by two members of staff.
The Foundation does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue its charitable work through the careful stewardship of its existing resources.
The Foundation is a member of the Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF); it holds a Cyber Essentials accreditation and is an accredited Living Wage Employer and Living Wage Funder. It is also a member of the Open & Trusting Grantmaking community of UK funders under the guidance of the Institute for Voluntary Action and Research (IVAR). Professional advice is sought from external advisers as and when necessary.
## **Charitable objects and activities**
## **Charitable objects**
The James Tudor Foundation has a principal object of the relief of human sickness. This is achieved by making grants to UK registered charities and charitable incorporated organisations (charitable organisations) with a total annual income of up to £20 million (the income cap does not apply to hospices) in response to proposals that fulfil The Foundation’s charitable objects, adhere to its guidelines, and are of public benefit.
## **Activities**
The main activity of The Foundation is the award of grants to Charities and Charitable Incorporated Organisations registered in England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Grants are not awarded to individuals. In addition to making awards The Foundation offers non-financial support such as advice from Foundation staff on eligibility, the application process, and signposting to other suitable organisations.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in directing the work of The Foundation and in ensuring The Foundation’s compliance with the Good Governance Code and the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 as amended.
Grants are awarded to UK registered charities and charitable incorporated organisations which themselves meet public benefit requirements.
## **Grantmaking policy**
The Foundation established its grantmaking policy to carry out its purpose of the relief of human sickness. The Trustees typically award grants of £10,000 to £15,000 with occasionally
4
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
higher grants up to £25,000 per annum. Most grants are awarded for a single year, but grantees are allowed to re-apply. The Trustees also award a smaller number of multi-year grants. Grant recipients are required to report on the outcomes and impact of their award.
The Foundation seeks to support small to medium-sized charities and charitable incorporated organisations where awards can achieve the greatest impact. Grants are made across four funding programme areas to eligible organisations across the UK; annually between 10% and 12% of awards, in terms of the total grantmaking annual expenditure, are granted to provide support for UK charitable organisations working internationally.
## **Grant application process**
The Foundation is listed in national directories of grant makers. The Foundation publishes application guidelines and makes these available from its website (www.jamestudor.org.uk). Additionally, the website provides guidance on The Foundation’s applications assessment process, information on each programme’s funding priorities and exclusions, terms and conditions of funding, reporting requirements, as well as examples of previous grants awarded (information on grants made is published annually on 360Giving). The Foundation’s website contains an eligibility checker for organisations considering an application and the grants management team is available to respond to questions about eligibility and other enquiries by email and telephone.
## **Application and assessment process**
Applicant selection is based on a two-stage application process (for all programmes except for Palliative Care which is run as a single-stage application).
The two-stage process requires minimal time investment from the applicant at the Expression of Interest stage. The Grants Management Team front-loads the assessment on each application and aims to invite to Full Application stage the funding requests that have at least a 75% chance of being awarded a grant.
The two-stage process is applied as follows:
Applicants complete an online Eligibility Checker. If eligible, they can submit an Expression of Interst (EOI) via The Foundation's online application portal.
The Grants Management Team (GMT) reviews and assesses each EOI against The Foundation's eligibility criteria and against the focus of the relevant funding programme.
GMT invites shortlisted applicants to submit a Full Application via The Foundation's online portal. GMT notifies applicants whose EOIs have not been shortlisted for Full Application and provides feedback.*

**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
GMT completes the assessment of the Full Applications and notifies the applicants whose applications have been shortlisted for Board consideration.
GMT notifies applicants whose Full Applications have not been shortlisted for Board consideration and provides feedback.*
Following Board decisions, GMT reports outcomes to the applicants (within 48 hours of the Board meeting date).
GMT issues new grant awards contracts, fulfils payments, and communicates the monitoring reports schedule to the new grant holders.
The Foundation runs four grant rounds annually. Application deadlines and corresponding Board meeting dates are published on The Foundation's website. The lead time to a final decision is between 3 and 6 months depending on the application’s submission date (whether at the opening of a grant round or close to its deadline).
Grants are made according to The Foundation’s grantmaking budget for the year, applicants’ supporting financial information, how closely the application matches the focus and priorities of the funding programme it relates to, and due diligence checks relevant to each funding programme.
The total annual expenditure budget (i.e. grantmaking and running costs) is approximately 4% of the value of the portfolio averaged over the previous four years.
In 2024-25, the Trustees completed the strategic review of The Foundation’s funding priorities which resulted in a revision of the existing funding programmes:

|**RELIEF OF SICKNESS**
This programme has
supported charities
operating in both physical
and mental health
providing direct assistance
to patients and their
families, spanning a very
broad range of conditions
and needs.
**AND**
**HEALTH EDUCATION**
This programme has
typically supported
charities providing
condition-specific
information to patients /
loved ones / carers, as
well as providing
condition-specific training
for healthcare
professionals.||**PHYSICAL HEALTH**
The**Relief of Sickness**and**Health Education**
programmes have been merged and have been
replaced by two separate programmes: Physical
Health and Mental Health (see below).
Physical Health focuses on direct healthcare
provision in the following four areas:
**1) Evidence-based physical therapies for any of**
**the groups below:**
a. People living with degenerative physical
conditions
b. People living with physical disabilities
c. People recovering from life-changing
injuries
**2) Specialist, single-condition charities:**
Typically, these are national charities that
provide information about a specific condition via
nurse-led helplines and via digital and print
materials.
**3) Charities that provide direct healthcare**
**services to marginalised communities**
Under this category we support charities
whose sole focus is to provide direct healthcare
to marginalised communities.

**HEALTH EDUCATION**
These two programmes
also spanned the
spectrum of mental health
support, whether from a
direct healthcare delivery
point of view or an
educational point of view.||**MENTAL HEALTH**
In response to increasing demand for support from a
wide variety of mental health charities, The
Foundation created a new funding programme.
Following a strategy review, the Trustees decided to
focus on charities that help children and young
people recovering from Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACEs) and parents affected by ACEs,
mental illness, or addiction.
The two areas of focus are:
**1) Support for children and young people**
Under this focus, we wish to partner with
charities that solely support children and young
people who have suffered one or more ACEs,
and they do so through evidence-based, trauma-
informed therapies.
We only support charities that have a specialist,
single focus on one or more of the following:
•
Childhood sexual abuse
•
Living in a household where there is
domestic violence, and/or physical and/or
emotional neglect
•
Living with a parent who has a mental illness
and/or substance abuse
•
Bereavement and complex loss, including
children and young people bereaved by
suicide, murder, manslaughter, substance
addiction, or who have a parent in prison.
**2) Support for parents**
Under this focus, we wish to partner with specialist
charities that solely focus on supporting parents and
complex family challenges by delivering:
•
Evidence-based, whole-family, trauma-informed
programmes that help parents to confront their
own ACEs and help to break the
intergenerational cycle of trauma and abuse.|

returning to UK-wide in

England and South Wales.

Due to The Foundation’s limited resources and
demand, this programme is continuing as a
discretionary programme only. The Trustees will
award unrestricted grants once a year to a group of
charities selected from past grant holders.|
Grants in the new categories will be awarded from 2025-26 onwards. All grants in the 202425 financial year were awarded under the categories of Health Education, International, Palliative Care, and Relief of Sickness.
The Trustees retain the right to make exceptional grants that fall outside stated categories providing that such awards will meet The Foundation’s charitable objects and the recipient organisation is eligible.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Grantmaking activity 2024–25**
A total of 118 (2023-24: 100) new grants were awarded to charitable organisations. No grants

**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
## **For the year ended 30 September 2025**
were made to individuals.
New grants awarded in the year totalled £1,215,093 (2023-24: £911,167). One grant awarded in the previous financial year was returned in full for a total of £10,000. The total reported at Note 5 (£1,205,093) is net of the refund received. As per Note 6, at the balance sheet date there is £219,000 to be paid at a date in the future (2023-24: £374,468), of which £10,000 falls due at a time greater than one year (2023-24: £22,500). Of the 118 grants awarded, 5 were discretionary awards ranging from £1,000 to £15,000 for a total of £28,000. Of the 113 grants awarded competitively, the previous applicant / grant holder status of recipients was as follows:
- First time applicants: 36 / 32% – (2023-24: 24 / 25%)
- Previous applicants but not grantees: 39 / 34% (2023-24: 14 / 15%)
- Previous grantees: 38 / 34% (2023-24: 56 / 60%)
While there are no quotas for doing so, The Foundation is keen to maintain relationships with past grant holders while remaining open to new partnerships.
## **2024-25 Grants by value**
Grants are generally approved in the following grant value brackets:
- Up to £5,000: 12 (2023-24: 27)
- £5,001 to £10,000: 92 (2023-24: 58)
- £10,001 to £25,000: 12 (2023-24: 15)
- £25,001 to £100,000: 2 (2023-24: none)
- Above £100,000: none (2023-24: none)
While there are no quotas for grants in each bracket, the above shows The Foundation’s intention to award higher value grants with the most common value doubled over the last two years:
- Excluding discretionary awards (ranging from £1,000 to £15,000), the average grant value was £10,505 (2023-24: £9,550) with a total of £1,187,093 committed across 113 competitive grants.
- The most common grant value was £10,000 – 84 grants (2023-24: £10,000 – 43 grants; and 2022:23: £5,000 - 37 grants).

This is the largest category by number of awards. Palliative care provides community services and end-of-life support to adults and children affected by life-limiting illnesses and complex needs both in hospices in-patient units and in the community through hospice at home programmes.

This attracted 56 applications and 50 grants were awarded in this competitive grant round. Two additional grants were awarded as discretionary (Children’s Hospice South West, in memory donation; Jessie May Trust, emergency appeal). A total of £514,098 (2023-24: £116,011) was awarded over 52 grants (2023-24: 9).
In 2025-26, The Foundation re-instated the geographical restriction of South West England and South Wales (adult and children’s independent hospices).

## **Performance, monitoring, and financial information**
All grant holders are required to report regularly to The Foundation throughout the life of their grant. The Foundation’s Terms and Conditions of Funding are signed by the grant holder and reporting schedules and requirements are made clear to grant holders at the time the grant offer is made. Reporting timelines are confirmed at the time the grant is paid.
The Foundation publishes reporting guidance for grant holders. Reporting timescales are closely monitored for the duration of the award, and further reports may be requested if deemed necessary. In the case of multi-year awards, instalments are released once The Foundation has received satisfactory reports for the work carried out in the previous grant year.
Grant holders’ reporting helps The Foundation to evaluate the effectiveness of its award

**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
programmes and to ensure that funds awarded have been spent in line with its funding priorities as aligned to its charitable objects.
## **Financial review and performance**
The Foundation is funded by an expendable endowment and is dependent on the income from its investments.
The total income in the year ended 30 September 2025 was £976,702 (2023-24: £973,287).
£1,476,918 (2023-24: £1,158,631) has been spent on charitable activities and the governance and administration of The Foundation, of which £1,396,194 (2023-24: £1,080,351) was grant funding (including support costs). The grant funding total is net of the grant refund received in year as explained above.
In recent years, except for the year ended 30 September 2021 due to the impact of the pandemic, the funding formula has been related to the total net assets of The Foundation at the conclusion of the previous financial year and not to income generated during the year. In 2024-25, The Foundation’s grantmaking budget was initially set at £900,000. The figure was based on the current value of the portfolio at 30 September 2024 and estimates of the total return of the portfolio by year end. In January 2025, thanks to the strong performance of The Foundation’s investments, the Board approved a grants budget increase of £305,000 to meet the exceptional demand from hospices. The total grants budget for 2024-25 was therefore set at £1,205,000.
In March 2025, the Trustees agreed a new Budget Setting Policy, establishing that annual expenditure discussions will begin at 4% of the Foundation’s average portfolio value over the previous four years. After accounting for running costs, remaining funds are to be allocated to grantmaking. The policy also allows the Board discretion to set a different percentage as a starting point, and to review the budget during the year in light of exceptional portfolio gains or losses.
## **Investment policy and performance**
Within the Memorandum and Articles of Association there are no restrictions on The Foundation's power to invest. In accordance with The Foundation's Investment Policy, fund managers are instructed to make investments under strict guidelines to maximise the longterm return to the portfolio with a view to maintaining the real value of its investments while providing income, so that maximum return for beneficiaries is achieved. The Foundation’s investment policy states that it does not make direct investment in companies whose principal business is the production of tobacco. It also states that the following investments and activities are prohibited: exchange-traded contingent liability transactions; off-exchange traded contingent liability transactions; other off-exchange traded derivative transactions; forward foreign exchange contracts; unregulated collective investment schemes; short sales; stock borrowing; stock lending; and direct investment in crypto currencies.
The Foundation’s investment strategy is reviewed annually at the December Board meeting. The Foundation requires its investment managers to attend Board meetings every six months (December and June) when they present a detailed report on the performance of the portfolio and any issues to be addressed.
18
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
The investment managers provide monthly valuation and transaction reports with a more detailed quarterly review for the Board. The Trustees have instructed the investment managers to maintain a medium risk investment strategy. At 30 September 2025, the investment portfolio of The Foundation was valued at £38,221,224 (2023-24: £35,495,866) and was invested as follows:
|Cash|£947,449|
2.5%|
|---|---|---|
|Alternatives and multi-asset|£2,448,365|
6.4%|
|Bonds|£6,645,262|
17.4%|
|Equities|£28,180,148|
73.7%|
|**Total**|**£38,221,224**|**100%**|
The Endowment is invested with the aim of producing the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. The Trustees have adopted a risk strategy that is medium level overall and within the medium balanced definition as adopted by Evelyn Partners, The Foundation’s investment managers.
The investment objective is to balance income and capital returns. The assets should be managed to maintain the real capital value of the Endowment, whilst generating a sustainable level of investment income to support current charitable activities.
Although a total return target has been set, the long-term target is to maintain in real terms a portfolio with a current value of £38,221,224 after all deductions including grantmaking activities. The rate of return for investments in the year ending on 30 September 2025 was 13.10% (2023-24: 12.05%) compared to the index 7.24% (2023-24: 12.92%).
The Trustees, on the advice of their investment managers, have during the year considered the spread of assets held by The Foundation and repositioned the portfolio to offer some protection from the ongoing geopolitical influences and the increase in short term interest rates.
## **Reserves policy**
The Foundation is sustained by an expendable endowment invested on the stock market (see Investments paragraph for further information). At the start of each financial year, the Trustees set an operating budget according to the Budget Setting Policy. Throughout the year, the Trustees authorise regular draw downs from the portfolio (typically quarterly) to meet expected expenditure in the quarter ahead (charitable expenditure and operational costs). The investment managers will honour the funds transfer requests by firstly drawing from the income received and will make up any shortfall by divesting capital from the portfolio. This is because investment income is received in irregular amounts throughout the year (based on the timing of receipt of dividends). The investment managers will replenish the capital by reinvesting a similar amount previously disinvested when dividends are received in excess of quarterly requirement. This is so that the endowment capital value can be preserved as much as possible.
The Trustees, therefore, do not aim to maintain a minimum level of unrestricted reserves but require the holding of sufficient cash or highly liquid investments which equate to at least three months' governance and support costs and to cover constructive obligations which are to fall
19
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
due. The Foundation’s current 5-year average annual expenditure is just over £1 million. In the unlikely event of catastrophic loss of value in The Foundation’s investments, The Foundation will use its reserves to pay for any charitable awards already committed and for operational costs due in the next three months.
At the year ended 30 September 2025, cash reserves amounted to £1,252,113 (2024: £236,821). The Trustees review the reserves policy at least annually and adjust it as required.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees are responsible for monitoring the risks facing The Foundation and ensuring that adequate steps are taken to mitigate them. The Foundation has a Risk Management Framework based on a register of potential risks, ranked according to the aggregate of probability and severity of impact. This register is kept under quarterly review and is updated as required and re-issued to Trustees, most recently in December 2024.
The risks facing The Foundation:
Financial Risk: The Foundation has an investment portfolio in its endowment fund which generates its income. The material financial risks of The Foundation from the investment portfolio are as follows:
Market and price risk: The Foundation’s portfolio is invested in a variety of products both in the UK and overseas and therefore the value of the portfolio fluctuates with changes in the market for each product class. The portfolio's value and performance are monitored day to day by The Foundation’s investment managers who report on changes in value and any potential drop in income through their monthly reports and six-monthly presentations at Board meetings.
Credit risk: The Foundation notes two potential risks in this area; (a) the risk of its investment manager becoming insolvent and (b) the risk of entities in which The Foundation holds investments becoming insolvent. These risks are mitigated by regular, detailed reporting from investment managers; in addition to The Foundation’s investments being held by a separate custodian (and scrutiny of The Foundation’s portfolio monthly).
Liquidity risk: The Foundation has liquidity risk where it may not have sufficient cash to pay grants and other payables as they fall due. This is mitigated by:
- regular drawdowns from the portfolio as soon as awards are made at quarterly Board meetings; and
- monthly reconciliation of The Foundation’s bank accounts.
The risks noted in this Trustees’ report are mitigated by The Foundation where the diversification of the investments held is formally reviewed every six months by the Trustees in meetings with The Foundation’s investment manager. There is additional monthly monitoring through review of valuation and transaction reports produced by the investment manager and quarterly reporting to the Trustees by the Investment managers.
Loss of key staff: The Foundation currently employs two staff (one member of staff on a part time basis) and the loss of one of these staff may pose a short-term risk in terms of the ongoing business of The Foundation. This risk is mitigated by documented policies and
20
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
procedures and a detailed holiday and absence policy. In case of total, sudden, and prolonged staff absence, Trustees could rely on the Business Recovery Action Plan.
Reputational Risk: Damage to the reputation of The Foundation is a factor in many operational and financial risk areas; reputational risk may arise through internal or external mismanagement; a high proportion of 'failed' grants; fraudulent or criminal use of grants by beneficiaries; loss of sensitive data; malicious external comment on The Foundation, its Trustees, staff, or performance. The Foundation mitigates these risks through due diligence, monitoring and evaluation of applications and recipients, keeping policies and processes under regular review and complying with relevant legislation and best practice.
Future Potential Risks: The Foundation’s investments are impacted daily by market volatility dictated by circumstances outside its control. The Trustees, with the assistance of their investment managers, will continue to monitor the impact of external events on The Foundation’s finances and will agree any necessary adjustments with its investment managers.
Should the UK government ever introduce a mandatory grant minimum as a percentage of the value of the endowment, this could erode the real value of the endowment, leading to a reduction in the funds available for grants and threatening the long-term viability of The Foundation. There is no such proposal at the time of writing and The Foundation is keeping up to date with any developments in this direction.
These risks are mitigated by a system of internal checks and balances and a policy of full transparency about all grants awarded and expenditure incurred. The Trustees review these risks at every Board meeting and such review is noted in the minutes. The last risk review took place in December 2024.
The Foundation’s running costs are kept to a level commensurate with good governance and best practice grantmaking processes and procedures. The Trustees are satisfied that effective measures are in place to ensure good governance; to prevent financial or administrative fraud or malpractice; protect the good reputation of The Foundation, and to ensure compliance with relevant legislation and guidance. The Foundation is not exposed to financial risk in relation to pensions. The Foundation operates from serviced offices, covers residual risk through insurance, and reviews health and safety procedures annually or sooner as required.
## **Plans for future periods**
The Trustees have previously set a strategy for The Foundation to live broadly within its means so as not to disadvantage future beneficiaries. Good relationships continue with many grant recipients. Where grants have proved to be efficient and effective, as well as serving the public benefit and matching The Foundation’s objectives, further support is frequently provided. More enduring relationships are the source of reports that indicate the long-term positive impact of grant-awarding activities of The Foundation. However, the Trustees continue to welcome applications from organisations that have not been previously funded, provided they meet The Foundation’s funding priorities as well as the eligibility and selection criteria set.
## **Trustees' responsibilities statement**
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with
21
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Trustees’ Annual Report**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
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).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity 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 applicable Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are 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 auditors are aware of that information.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of The Foundation (the charity) guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The Trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee) Independent auditor’s report to the Members of The James Tudor Foundation For the year ended 30 September 2025**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The James Tudor Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position, cash flow statement and the related 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 charity's affairs as at 30 September 2025 and of its 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 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 charity'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. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other
24
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee) Independent auditor’s report to the Members of The James Tudor Foundation For the year ended 30 September 2025**
information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
## **Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ report 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate 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’ exemption provision in preparing the Trustees’ report.
## **Responsibilities of the Trustees**
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out in the Trustees’ report, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and
25
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee) Independent auditor’s report to the Members of The James Tudor Foundation For the year ended 30 September 2025**
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 charity’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our 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 procedures we carried out and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:
- (1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in and assessed the risk of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of noncompliance.
- (2) We reviewed the charity’s policies and procedures in relation to:
- Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
- Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud, and whether they were aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
- Designing and implementing internal controls to mitigate the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud.
- (3) We inspected the minutes of Trustee meetings.
- (4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them.
- (5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
26
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee) Independent auditor’s report to the Members of The James Tudor Foundation For the year ended 30 September 2025**
- (6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error.
- (7) We assessed the risk of fraud through management override of controls and carried out procedures to address this risk. Our procedures included:
- Testing the appropriateness of journal entries;
- Assessing judgements and accounting estimates for potential bias;
- Reviewing related party transactions; and
- Testing transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: 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 charityʼs 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 charityʼs members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs 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 charityʼs members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee) Notes to the Financial Statements**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
## **1 General information**
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Trym Lodge, Henbury Road, Westbury-On-Trym, Bristol, BS9 3HQ.
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The James Tudor Foundation is a charity limited by guarantee, incorporated in the United Kingdom. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are the relief of human sickness.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective on 1 January 2019 (Charity SORP 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We confirm that there are no critical judgements or estimates in these financial statements.
## **Income recognition**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from investments is recorded when receivable.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing The Foundation to the expenditure. The charitable company is not registered for value added tax and accordingly expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable value added tax.
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs attributable to the main activities of The Foundation, representing grants and support costs. Grants are included in this category when they have been unconditionally approved by the Trustees and the beneficiaries have been informed, irrespective of the year covered by the grants. The value of such grants unpaid at the year-end is accrued in the balance sheet.
31
**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee)**
**Notes to the Financial Statements**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
## **2 Accounting policies (continued)**
Expenditure on raising funds represents those costs attributable to managing the investment portfolio and raising investment income, namely investment management fees and support costs.
Unrestricted funds used for grants comprise endowment income which is allocated at the discretion of the Trustees to priority needs identified in The James Tudor Foundation's own grants programme.
Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and to comply with constitutional and statutory requirements. These include a proportion of the Chief Executive’s salary as they discharge their duties as chief administrator of The Foundation and as Company Secretary; any costs relating to Trustees and Members meetings and expenses; audit, accounting, and human resources support fees; insurance costs; bank charges, and professional memberships and subscriptions.
Support costs are those incurred in delivering The Foundation’s charitable purposes through the implementation of its grantmaking programme. These include the relevant proportions of staff costs; office costs; and marketing costs. Support costs are allocated based on estimated staff time and to each grantmaking programme based on grant expenditure per programme.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity contributes to defined contribution pension schemes. Contributions payable to the charity's pension schemes are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets costing less than £2,000 are not capitalised. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated ultimate residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
Equipment - over 4 years; straight line
## **Fixed asset investments**
Investments are recognised on acquisition at fair value, being the purchase cost plus any direct costs incurred in acquiring the asset. Subsequently, at each year end, the investments are measured at fair value, being the bid price at the year end date or nearest valuation point inclusive of accrued interest. Movements in the fair value of investments are recognised in the SOFA as an unrealised gain or loss included within net gains/(losses) on investments.
On disposal of investments, the realised gain or loss recognised is the difference between the value on initial recognition and the disposal proceeds after the deduction of any direct costs incurred in the disposal of the asset. Realised gains or losses are recognised in the SOFA within net gains/(losses) on investments.
## **Financial instruments**
The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash at bank and cash 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.

**The James Tudor Foundation (company limited by guarantee) Notes to the Financial Statements**
**For the year ended 30 September 2025**
## **2 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **Employee benefits**
Short term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The company makes contributions into registered Self Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) held by employees of the company.
## **Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at the transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees and have not been designated for other purposes.
Expendable endowment funds represent donations given to towards the capital of the Foundation, the purpose of which is to generate income for the ongoing work of the Foundation. Capital gains or losses generated by the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to this fund are charged against the fund. Apart from an amount equal to this total charge to the fund, income arising on the endowment fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. The trustees have the power to transfer funds from the expendable endowment into general funds.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in note of the financial statements.
