THE LIMBOURNE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED5 APRIL 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The charity has wide charitable objects, which encompass the benefit of communities throughout the world, and in particular the advancement of education, the protection of health, and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness.
The charity will also seek to challenge all forms of oppression and inequality, and will prioritise funding for groups who assist people who are unable to take a full role in society due to economic, political and social disadvantage.
The charity will seek to achieve these objectives by providing grant funding for other charities working in the following fields:
-
Community Projects to assist those at disadvantage or facing barriers.
-
Protection and conservation of the environment.
-
Promote the public education in and appreciation of literature, music, drama, and dance.
-
Research into renewable energy sources.
-
Development of organic farming methods.
-
Development of environmentally sustainable projects.
-
Other charitable purposes as the trustees from time to time may decide upon.
The trustees have absolute discretion as to the application (for charitable purposes) of the capital and income of the trust fund. The trustees will seek to identify those projects where the greatest and widest benefit can be attained, and usually will only consider written applications and, where necessary, make further enquiries.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED5 APRIL 2025
Objectives and activities (continued)
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
The trustees have supported a wide range of charitable causes during the year as authorised by the trust deed.
The major donations in year ended 5 April 2025 were:
Suffolk Art Link £30,000 (multi-year grant) Young People Taking Action £10,000 The Cirdan Sailing Trust £10,000 Good Chance £10,000 Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust £10,000 River Waveney Trust £10,000 Surfers Against Sewage £10,000 Sydenham Garden £15,000 (multi-year grant)
The trustees are able to assess how far they are meeting their charitable objectives and to monitor the progress of grant recipients mainly by means of direct contact with the grant recipients, as follows:
-
e grant recipients provide unsolicited, regular reports or newsletters of their progress, of the activities which the grant has made possible as well as the specific and public benefit arising from their activity.
-
e where grants are made in installments (usually annual) the trustees require detailed progress reports to assess the ongoing quality of provision before further installments are paid.
-
e trustees may maintain a benign or active interest in grant recipients, e.g. they attend performances by arts organisations which have benefited from grants or attend AGMs and visit projects supported by The Limbourne Trust.
By these means, the trustees can regularly monitor the benefits and effectiveness of their grant-making decisions.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
Objectives and activities (continued)
c. Grant-making policies
Since its formation in 2006 the charity has given grants year on year concentrating on charities and appeals where the trustees believe the greatest benefit can be obtained from a relatively modest donation. Many recipients are dependent on donations from several sources and so it is often difficult to tangibly assess the effectiveness of the charity‘s contribution. However, the trustees believe that their contribution has made a difference in each case.
The trustees have produced guidelines for grant applicants as outlined below:
Essential
-
e Name of charity and registered charity number
-
e Contact details, including website address
-
e Up-to-date financial statements/accounts and trustees' report
-
e Aims and objectives of the charity
-
e Name and nature of the project we are being asked to fund
-
e Supporting evidence for need of project, and, where relevant, a measure of its success to date
-
e How impact will be measured
-
e The duration of the project
-
e Is it an existing or new venture? e The budget for the project, the amount raised to date and applications pending, including other principle partners or funders
-
e Name and contact details for this project
Desirable
What other organisations are working in this field and in what way does this particular project relate to them.
The Limbourne Trust exists to support, by financial grants, other charities whose aims are:
-
e To support small scale community projects which aim to help those who struggle to achieve full participation in society due to illness, disability, poverty, political or social disadvantage.
-
e To promote conservation and protect the environment. e To promote, improve, develop the appreciation of the performing arts, poetry, literature and music in all its forms.
-
e The development and support of renewable energy.
-
e The development and practice of organic farming.
-
e To develop environmentally sustainable projects and help overcome the adverse effects of climate change. e To promote other charitable purposes, from time to time, that may be determined by the trustees.
The trust is open to and encourages re-applications from charities where there has been a positive partnership of funding and project execution. However the trust would normally only consider funding for four years in every six.
The board of trustees hold two grant-making meetings a year (early spring and autumn) at which they consider a short-list of applications. The budget for the project, the amount raised to date and applications pending, including other principle partners or funders.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED5 APRIL 2025
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
The total incoming resources were £124,775 (2024: £121,379).
Charitable grants made during the year were £137,000 (2024: £115,450). The trustees expect this level to increase as the charity becomes more established and is able to expand its role. However, for the foreseeable future, the trustees recognise that the global economic situation may result in a drop in the annual income available for charitable grants.
b. Investment policy and performance
The charity was formed with an initial donation of £2,500,000. This, together with some subsequent donations has been invested into the stock markets.
On 14th March 2016 a donation of £360,000 was made to the Limbourne Trust from one of the founder trustees, Elisabeth Thistlethwayte. This sum has been invested into the stock market and the income will be used to make charitable grants.
The trustees' policy is to invest predominantly for capital preservation and growth subject to maintaining a sufficient level of net income to meet anticipated annual donations. The capital preservation and growth objective necessitates exposure to equity markets.
It is the trustees' policy to have a balanced and diverse portfolio, with an ethical basis. It is the trustees’ preference to invest in companies with a good record of social responsibility. The trustees will not invest in certain sectors such as arms manufacture, tobacco or nuclear industries.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The financial statements to 5 April 2025 record an unrestricted income fund of £33,133.
The Trustees have adopted a reserves policy which seeks to maintain sufficient funds to cover all outstanding grant commitments and the annual administration costs, whilst also covering costs should it be necessary to wind up the charity. Funds in excess of these requirements are available for the charity to expend on suitable good causes. The trustees continue to seek suitable charitable projects where grant funds will provide significant benefit.

THE LIMBOURNE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED5 APRIL 2025
c. Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. The ways in which the charity meets the public benefit requirement are set out above.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Limbourne Trust is a registered charity, number 1113796, and is constituted under a Trust deed.
There have been no changes in the objectives since the last annual report.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The Charity was constituted as a trust by a declaration of trust, dated 11 March 2006, executed by the four original trustees and was registered as a charity on 19 April 2006. The trustees directly administer the charity jointly through regular meetings, but day to day administration has been devolved principally to the first named trustee. There must be a minimum of three trustees, and the current trustees have the power to appoint further trustees by passing a resolution at a special meeting. All trustees are appointed for a period of five years and are eligible for subsequent re-election.
The deed specifies minimum criteria for eligibility as a trustee and also provides powers for removal of a trustee from office in certain circumstances.
The trustees have appointed investment advisors to act for them in managing the investment portfolio. The trustees rely on this professional expertise in the day to day running of the portfolio, but regularly review the decisions taken to ensure these comply with the investment objectives.
d. Financial risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Given the global uncertainties that stem from climate change, conflict and social inequality, the trustees resolve to hold special meetings, when deemed necessary, to reassess how best to support charities currently funded by the Limbourne Trust.
Plans for future periods
The trustees’ aims in the 2025/26 financial year will follow and hopefully expand on those achievements for the previous year.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
° observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
e make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
° state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
° prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They 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.

THE LIMBOURNE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
- Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published 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.
The Limbourne Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
1.2 Income All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

THE LIMBOURNE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.
- 1.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.6 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
1.8 Financial instruments
The Charity 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.
1.9 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
The endowment fund is an expendable endowment fund representing the original capital provided by the settlor, which has been invested in an investment portfolio with Barratt and Cooke.
