TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT for the period 1/4/2022 to 31/3/2023

Registered Charity
Number
1108886
Operating address Whitegates, 32 Lower Street, HORNING, Norfolk, NR12 8AA
Objects and Purposes To provide relief for children and adults with special educational or
other needs and their families, in any part of the country.
To make donations to institutions who provide facilities and advocacy
for children and adults with special educational or other needs.
To make donations to other registered Charitable Trusts.
To make donations to local community charities or other agencies in
any part of the country whose objects are no wider than the charity’s
own, or to any charity for use for particular purposes, which fall within
the charity’s objects.
Structure,
Governance and
Management
The Foundation is governed by a Trust Deed, made on 9 March 2005,
and is managed by a Board of volunteer trustees.
Trustee selection and
appointment
Trustees, other than the two Founding Trustees, are elected for
periods of three years. Selection is based on experience of learning,
special needs, or business management.
Wider network
relationships
The Foundation’s trustees maintain close links with many other
charities, making visits whenever possible. Trustees have initiated
links between other charities when applications indicate that liaison
between two or more charities could be mutually beneficial, either for
the purpose of purchasing appropriate equipment or learning from
experience.
Policy on grant-
making
The Foundation makes grants to other registered charities, schools
and CICs that work on behalf of adults or children with special needs,
learning difficulties, physical disability, or sensory impairment.
Trustees make difficult decisions regarding what can and cannot be
funded. These lists are updated regularly in the light of available funds
and changes to public-funded grants.
Public benefit Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public
benefit requirements, and endeavour to work within the spirit and
specifics of those requirements. In addition to making grants and
pledges to a wide range of charities, trustees visit applying charities
whenever possible, and offer advice and support on occasions. In
these ways we can judge the extent to which our work is seen to be
for wider public benefit.
Trustees Our volunteer trustees between them have wide experience in the
areas of educational and other needs, disability, learning difficulties,
sensory impairment or business and financial management.
Main activities Charities applying to us complete a Grant Application form, and submit
both a hard and an electronic copy, together with a copy of their latest
accounts and any other supporting information. Our ‘Notes for
Applicants’ that accompany the grant application form provide
guidance on what we look for in an application and provide helpful
examples of why an application may be unsuccessful.
All applications are carefully considered. Awards are not made in
every case. Trustees look for evidence of financial sustainability and
how an applicant is approaching their fund-raising activities.
As well as awarding grants we also make pledges towards an
applicant’s declared fund-raising target. A pledge is valid for six
months and is fulfilled by a grant when the Foundation is informed that
an applicant’s fund-raising target has been achieved within six months
of our pledge being made. This system encourages other funding
bodies to make grants.
We also occasionally offer to match-fund specified amounts towards
an applicant’s declared fund-raising target.
As a rule, we do not fund salaries or capital projects and principally
our grants fund services or equipment.
Trustees have amended in recent years the range of need that we feel
able to fund. Changes to national policy regarding public funds made
available have been reflected in this process.
Contribution made by
volunteers
We have no paid staff. Our trustees are volunteers and are fully
involved in the operation of our charity. An additional volunteer assists
the Secretary/Treasurer in general administrative processes and in
maintaining our records and website.
Sources of funds and
financial management
The Foundation’s sources of income include grants and dividends
from shares. Funds are spread across several accounts to maximise
interest and to protect investments. Day-to-day financial management
is undertaken by the Secretary/Treasurer, who reports to the Board of
Trustees. Accounts are independently audited annually, as required by
the Charity Commission, to whom a copy is sent.
Reserves policy Trustees ensure that sufficient cash reserves are maintained to
continue the charity’s operations at current levels for the next two
years, to meet commitments of pledges made, and to maintain
sufficient levels of available funds to meet any agreed changes to our
grant-making policy. We have begun to sell some shares in order to
reduce the level of assets retained by the charity, and to increase
available funds for grant-giving.
Financial risks Any potential financial risks are minimised by spreading funds across
several accounts and by closely monitoring our grant-making policy
and actual expenditure. A report is made to each Board meeting of
current balances in all accounts, and the value of pledges made. At
Board meetings all aspects of the charity’s operation are reviewed;
financial management is re-assessed regularly.
General risk
assessment
In addition to financial risk assessment, trustees consider at Board
meetings how the charity functions to minimise any possible risks to
the overall operation of the Foundation.
Achievements during
the year
Trustees awarded 139 grants during the 2022/2023 year totalling
£323,226.00.
94 pledges were made totalling £137,066.95, most of which have now
been paid.
Several visits were made by trustees both to charities to whom a grant
has been made and to others who have applied to us.
Achievement and
performance
The Foundation has been making grants for seventeen years and
during that period trustees have awarded grants totalling almost £5
million. Currently, trustees consider approximately forty applications
each month.
Achievement against
objectives
Trustees continue each year to meet our objectives by making many
grants across a wide range of need. Grants awarded over the years
encompass a range of equipment and services to meet an
increasingly wide range of need by applicants.
Plans for the future Recent meetings of trustees considered the future of the charity. One
trustee retires in 2023, but the Foundation will remain quorate to
ensure that the number of active trustees is as required by our Trust
Deed.
In addition to continuing our work on similar lines, trustees are
considering for how many years the charity may continue.
As we approach our 20thanniversary, we are inviting selected charities
to apply for a grant of up to £20,000.00.

Public benefit

Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit requirements, and endeavour to work within the spirit and specifics of those requirements. In addition to making grants and pledges to a wide range of charities, trustees visit applying charities whenever possible, and offer advice and support on occasions. In these ways we can judge the extent to which our work is for wider public benefit.

Achievements and performance

Trustees awarded 140 grants during the 2022/2023 year totalling £323,226 (2022: 122 grants totalling £196,732).

94 pledges were made totalling £137,067, most of which have now been paid.

Several visits were made by Trustees both to charities to whom a grant has been made and to others who have applied to us.

The Foundation has been making grants for seventeen years and during that period Trustees have awarded grants totalling almost £5 million. Currently, Trustees consider approximately 40 applications per month.

Trustees continue each year to meet our objectives by making many grants across a wide range of need. Grants awarded over the years encompass a range of equipment and services to meet an increasingly wide range of need by applicants.

Financial review

Unrestricted fund income totalled £44,057 (2022: £76,624). After making grants totalling £323,226 (2022: £196,732), incurring administration costs of £3,487 (2022: £4,550), and investment losses of £112,929 (2022: £94,011) net expenditure for the year amounted to £395,585 (2022: £218,669).

Principal funding sources

The Foundation's sources of income include grants and dividends from shares. Funds are spread across several accounts to maximise interest and to protect investments. Day-to-day financial management is undertaken by the Secretary/Treasurer, who reports to the Board of Trustees. Accounts are independently examined annually, as required by the Charity Commission, to whom a copy is sent.

Reserves policy

Trustees ensure that sufficient cash reserves are maintained to continue the charity's operations at current levels in future years, to meet commitments of pledges made, and to maintain sufficient levels of available funds to meet any agreed changes to our grant-making policy. We have began to sell some shares in order to reduce the level of assets retained by the charity and to increase available funds for grant-giving.

At the period end, the charity had free reserves of £129,959 (2022: £210,956).

Plans for future periods

Recent meetings of trustees considered the future of the charity. One Trustee retires in 2023, but the Foundation will remain quorate to ensure that the number of active Trustees is as required by our Trust Deed.

In addition to continuing our work on similar lines, Trustees are considering for how many years the charity may continue.

As we approach our 20th anniversary, we are inviting selected charities to apply for a grant of up to £20,000.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The Foundation is governed by a Trust Deed, made on 9 March 2005, and is managed by a Board of volunteer trustees.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees, other than the two Founding Trustees, are elected for periods of three years. Selection is based on experience of learning, special needs or business management.

Risk management

Any potential financial risks are minimised by spreading funds across several accounts and by closely monitoring our grant-making policy and actual expenditure. A report is made to each Board meeting of current balances in all accounts, and the value of pledges made. At Board meetings all aspects of the charity's operation are reviewed; financial management is re-assessed regularly.

In addition to financial risk assessment, trustees consider at Board meetings how the charity functions to minimise any possible risks to the overall operation of the Foundation.

Wider network relationships

The Foundation's trustees maintain close links with many other charities, making visits whenever possible. Trustees have initiated links between other charities when applications indicate that liaison between two or more charities would be mutually beneficial, either for the purpose of purchasing appropriate equipment or learning from experience.

True and Fair override

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a "true and fair" view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a "true and fair view". This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by charities by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn

Independent examiner

M Proctor FCA DChA has been re-appointed as independent examiner for the ensuing year.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Boshier-Hinton

Foundation (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Notes to the financial statements

Year ended 31 March 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Whitegates, 32 Lower Street, Horning, Norfolk, NR12 8AA.

2. Statement of compliance

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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Financial instruments

The Trust 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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 transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Cash at bank

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Trustees' annual report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Objectives and activities

The Foundation's Objects and Purposes are:

Main activities

Charities applying to us complete a Grant Application form, and submit both a hard and an electronic copy, together with a copy of their latest accounts and any other supporting information. Our 'Notes for Applicants' that accompany the grant application form provide guidance on what we look for in an application and provide helpful examples why an application may be unsuccessful.

All applications are carefully considered. Awards are not made in every case. Trustees look for evidence of financial sustainability and how an applicant is approaching their fund-raising activities.

As well as awarding grants we also make pledges towards an applicant's declared fund-raising target. A pledge is valid for six months and is fulfilled by a grant when the Foundation is informed that an applicant's fund-raising target has been achieved within six months of our pledge being made. This system encourages other funding bodies to make grants.

We also occasionally offer to match-fund specified amounts towards an applicant's declared fund-raising target.

As a rule, we do not fund salaries or capital projects and principally our grants fund services or equipment.

Trustees have amended in recent years the range of need that we feel able to fund. Changes to national policy regarding public funds made available have been reflected in this process.

Grant-making policy

The Foundation makes grants to other registered charities, schools and CICs that work on behalf of adults or children with special needs, learning difficulties, physical disability or sensory impairment. Trustees make difficult decisions regarding what can and cannot be funded. These lists are updated regularly in the light of available funds and changes to public-funded grants.

Volunteers

Our volunteer trustees between them have wide experience in the areas of educational and other needs, disability, learning difficulties, sensory impairment or business and financial management.

The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Trustees' annual report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Objectives and activities (continued)

Public benefit

Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit requirements, and endeavour to work within the spirit and specifics of those requirements. In addition to making grants and pledges to a wide range of charities, trustees visit applying charities whenever possible, and offer advice and support on occasions. In these ways we can judge the extent to which our work is for wider public benefit.

Achievements and performance

Trustees awarded 140 grants during the 2022/2023 year totalling £323,226 (2022: 122 grants totalling £196,732).

94 pledges were made totalling £137,067, most of which have now been paid.

Several visits were made by Trustees both to charities to whom a grant has been made and to others who have applied to us.

The Foundation has been making grants for seventeen years and during that period Trustees have awarded grants totalling almost £5 million. Currently, Trustees consider approximately 40 applications per month.

Trustees continue each year to meet our objectives by making many grants across a wide range of need. Grants awarded over the years encompass a range of equipment and services to meet an increasingly wide range of need by applicants.

Financial review

Unrestricted fund income totalled £44,057 (2022: £76,624). After making grants totalling £323,226 (2022: £196,732), incurring administration costs of £3,487 (2022: £4,550), and investment losses of £112,929 (2022: £94,011) net expenditure for the year amounted to £395,585 (2022: £218,669).

Principal funding sources

The Foundation's sources of income include grants and dividends from shares. Funds are spread across several accounts to maximise interest and to protect investments. Day-to-day financial management is undertaken by the Secretary/Treasurer, who reports to the Board of Trustees. Accounts are independently examined annually, as required by the Charity Commission, to whom a copy is sent.

Reserves policy

Trustees ensure that sufficient cash reserves are maintained to continue the charity's operations at current levels in future years, to meet commitments of pledges made, and to maintain sufficient levels of available funds to meet any agreed changes to our grant-making policy. We have began to sell some shares in order to reduce the level of assets retained by the charity and to increase available funds for grant-giving.

At the period end, the charity had free reserves of £129,959 (2022: £210,956).

Trustees' annual report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Plans for future periods

Recent meetings of trustees considered the future of the charity. One Trustee retires in 2023, but the Foundation will remain quorate to ensure that the number of active Trustees is as required by our Trust Deed.

In addition to continuing our work on similar lines, Trustees are considering for how many years the charity may continue.

As we approach our 20th anniversary, we are inviting selected charities to apply for a grant of up to £20,000.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The Foundation is governed by a Trust Deed, made on 9 March 2005, and is managed by a Board of volunteer trustees.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees, other than the two Founding Trustees, are elected for periods of three years. Selection is based on experience of learning, special needs or business management.

Risk management

Any potential financial risks are minimised by spreading funds across several accounts and by closely monitoring our grant-making policy and actual expenditure. A report is made to each Board meeting of current balances in all accounts, and the value of pledges made. At Board meetings all aspects of the charity's operation are reviewed; financial management is re-assessed regularly.

In addition to financial risk assessment, trustees consider at Board meetings how the charity functions to minimise any possible risks to the overall operation of the Foundation.

Wider network relationships

The Foundation's trustees maintain close links with many other charities, making visits whenever possible. Trustees have initiated links between other charities when applications indicate that liaison between two or more charities would be mutually beneficial, either for the purpose of purchasing appropriate equipment or learning from experience.

True and Fair override

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a "true and fair" view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a "true and fair view". This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by charities by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn

Independent examiner

M Proctor FCA DChA has been re-appointed as independent examiner for the ensuing year.

The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

The Boshier-Hinton Foundation

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Boshier-Hinton

Foundation (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Notes to the financial statements

Year ended 31 March 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Whitegates, 32 Lower Street, Horning, Norfolk, NR12 8AA.

2. Statement of compliance

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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Financial instruments

The Trust 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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 transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Cash at bank

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
