Charity Commission registration number 1108775. Page 1 DocuSign Envelope ID: 21FC101D-89A0-4AD8-8F20-DE1222BFF3C2 **THE JAMES GIBSON CHARITABLE TRUST** ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 5 APRIL 2022** The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 5 April 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 7 and comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Financial Reporting Standard 102 and the provisions of the trust deed dated 16 March 2005. ## **Constitution and objectives** The Charitable Trust was established by Mr George David Gibson in a Settlement Deed dated 16th March 2005 under the law of England and Wales. The Trust is registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1108775. The principal objectives of the Trust are to make donations and grants to such charitable institutions or authorities in such a manner as the trustees may in their absolute discretion think fit. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims or objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. ## **Organisation** The trustees, who served throughout the year, their advisors and legal status are summarised on page 1 of these accounts. All trustees meet annually to agree the appeals that will be successful in receiving donations for the year. Appointment of new trustees is at the discretion of the existing trustees. New Trustees are briefed about the Charity’s objectives and how they have been achieved in the past. ## **Review of activities** The trustees identify suitable projects for consideration. Written applications are submitted to the registered office. Grants are made to Registered Charities which provide a benefit to the general public. The trustees will also consider recurring annual donations. During the year donations were made of £100,000. Barn Owl Trust and Zoological Society London each received £10,000. Fauna & Flora and World Land Trust each received £30,000. Greenpeace Environmental Trust received £15,000 and The Froglife Trust received £5,000. There were no donations made for the year to 5 April 2021. The trustees intend to continue providing donations in a similar way as previous years retaining flexibility as to the timing and scale of the donations. ## **Financial review and investment policy** There was a negative net movement in funds for the year of £12,222 (2021: positive net movement of £550,184) which has been transferred to the unrestricted fund. Ignoring gains on revaluation and disposal of investment assets the net outgoing resources amount to £68,044 (2021 incoming £30,023). The balance of the unrestricted fund for the year amounted to £2,193,648 (2021 – £2,205,870). The Trust derives its income from investing in quoted shares and securities. The value of investments under management was £2,155,236 at 5th April 2022 (2021 - £2,012,843). The investment portfolio was under discretionary management with Charles Stanley & Co Ltd and later with Raymond James Investment Services, who undertake a moderate risk investment policy and review the investment performance regularly with the trustees. ## **Reserves policy** The trustees operate a single unrestricted fund that is represented by the market value of investments and net cash deposits required to generate resources from which charitable donations are made. The capital base of investments is used to generate income for distribution on an annual basis. ## **Risk management** The trustees annually review the risks that the charity faces. To date these have mainly related to investments and these have been addressed by diversified portfolio management. The trustees are aware of the risks of fraudulent applications being received and continue their vigilance in assessing appeals. Page 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 21FC101D-89A0-4AD8-8F20-DE1222BFF3C2 **THE JAMES GIBSON CHARITABLE TRUST** ## **Statement of trustees responsibilities** Charity 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 its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:- - a. Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - b. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - c. State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the ‘Statement of Recommended Practice’ and that they have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - d. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the constitution and the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and consequently for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In accordance with their responsibilities, the Trustees have considered the appropriateness of the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements. After making enquiries, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the current financial year to 5 April 2022 and that all funds have the ability to meet their obligations. For this reason the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. ## **Independent Examiner** The trustees intend to retain David Jones & Co to undertake the independent examination of the trust for the year.
