The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border) Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
Background
On 1st July 2006, The King's Own Royal Border Regiment, The King's Regiment and The Queen's Lancashire Regiment were amalgamated to form The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border). The Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 26th September 2006 sets out the terms on which charities administered by the predecessor regiments are to be administered in connection with The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border) by The Regimental Charity of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border).
The objects of each branch are:
The Charity Branch
To promote the efficiency of the Regiment in such charitable ways as the trustees may decide, including the maintenance and preservation of the chapels, memorials, colours and chattels of the Regiment and the former Regiments.
The Association Branch
To promote the efficiency of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment by:
Fostering spirt de corps, amongst the serving and former members of the Regiment and its former Regiments, by enabling them to keep in touch with Regimental affairs and one another.
Preserving the traditions and perpetuating the deeds of the Regiment and its former Regiments.
Encouraging recruitment for the Regiment.
Assist serving and former members of the Regiment and its former Regiments to obtain suitable employment.
The Benevolence Branch
To provide relief to serving or former members of the Regiment or former Regiments and their dependents who are in conditions of need, through financial hardship, sickness or old age.
The Homes Branch
To provide or assist in the provision of accommodation for former members of the Regiment or its former Regiments and their dependents who are in need through financial hardship, sickness or old age.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general information on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Grant making policy
The charity has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit. The charity's aim is to continue to support members of the Regiment (serving, veterans and their dependents) with benevolence and welfare grants, details of which are shown in the Notes to the Accounts.

The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border) Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
Public Benefit
The charity aims to maintain the interests of the regiment and antecedent regiments by providing welfare and benevolence support to serving and retired members of the regiment.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
Spending on benevolence and welfare grants to individuals remains a significant area of spend at circa £60K. This was an increase of £11.4K from 2024, with supported number of cases rising slightly from 98 in 2024 to 104 in 2025 with amounts given increasing due to inflation. The Charity were supported by the ABF with additional funds to top up the grants made with a further £36K. The Emergency Food Grant Scheme brought in to meet cost of living needs as continued to provide support for those impacted by the cost-of-living crisis and has supported 16 members of the Regimental family with Aldi food vouchers. During 2025, the period of audit, an amount of £1,550 was expended on Aldi food vouchers.
Grants to Regiment's battalions were reduced by 50% in 2024/25 with a new system of applying for specific funding introduced in the form of the submission of business cases. For Governance, this was deemed by the Trustees as a more practical and transparent way of dispersing funds. These grants make a significant contribution to a battalion's lived experience and are a critical element in the maintenance of esprit de corps.
Financial Review
Financial Position
We entered 2025 in a good position, but international events predictably cause disruption and volatility in the stock market where most of our investments are made. However, the trend remains buoyant, and markets have tended to fall and then bounce back. Following a review of current market trends and world events, the board decided to continue our existing investment policy with our current advisors. The policy is to maintain the value of the fund such that we can generate around £110k of income to support our charitable activities.
The Trustees were pleased with the end of year results with our investments during 2025 increasing from £4.347M to £4.492M despite volatility. Income was marginally down from £112.4K to £111.4K. The result was that we ended the year with net assets of £117.9K higher than the beginning of the year.
Overall, the Charity's financial position remains healthy, and it continues to operate within its budget.
Risk management
The trustees have and continue to assess the major risks that the Charity could potentially be exposed to, particularly in relation to operations and the financial management of the Charity. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the associated risks. The Charity investment portfolio has been maintained at a medium level of risk.

The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border) Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
Reserves Policy
On 26th September 2006 the Trustees set out the Charity's reserves policy as follows:
An appropriate capital reserve is required by the Charity both as an essential source of investment income and to deal with those unpredictable exigencies and emergencies that will, from time to time confront demand-led service charities. The Trustees of the Regimental Charity will accordingly seek to increase the value of its investment portfolio, and the rate of return by at least the annual rate of United Kingdom inflation to maintain the real value of invested capital over the longer term.
The total unrestricted reserves held by the Charity at 31st December 2025 were £4.567M.
Grant Making
The Charity gives grants to fulfil its charitable objectives. Grants are made using the guidelines set down by the Charity Scheme and by the Regimental Board. The Charity cooperates with and supports the ABF.
Plans
We anticipate that the Regimental flat will continue to require maintenance and look to dispose of the property in the future.
Structure, Governance and Management
Status and Administration
The charity is a registered charity with the Charities Commission under the number 1116946. The charity is governed by a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 26th September 2006 and is operated by the Administrative trustees incorporated as a body.
Trustees Recruitment and Appointment
The Board of Trustees consist of three ex-officio trustees (the Colonel of the Regiment, Deputy Colonel and Honorary Colonel) and up to 8 co-opted trustees who serve for a four-year term. Co-opted members are recommended to the trustees, usually by existing trustees, by virtue of their skills, experience, and willingness to serve against a set of knowledge, skills, and experience criteria and with the desire to diversify and broaden Board composition. They are chosen by the existing trustees at a routine meeting. In addition, there are four exofficio Commanding Officers (CO) Board Members (CO 1 LANCS, CO 3 RANGER, CO 4 LANCS and CO NWOTR) who advise the Board, have input on discussions and have opinions but no voting powers.
Branches and organisational structure
The charity is operated through four branches:
The Regimental Charity of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (The Charity Branch). The Regimental Association of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (The Association Branch). The Benevolence Fund of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (The Benevolence Branch); and The Queen's Lancashire Regiment Cottage Homes Charity (The Homes Branch).
The charity's property is held on its behalf by the trustees, subject to covenants set out in a conveyance dated 26th September 2006. The trustees also meet as the Council of the Charity as defined in the said conveyance.
The trustees meet every six months in spring and autumn. The spring meeting focuses on the previous year's performance with the autumn board setting the budget for the following year.

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 and Wales 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 incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
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 which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (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 trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border) (the "charity") for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including Income and Expenditure Account), Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Charities Act 2011.
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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 21 to the financial statements, 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 12 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 contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor's Report (continued) to the Members of The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border)
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 2—5, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the 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.

Independent Auditor's Report (continued) to the Members of The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border)
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Enquiries with management, including regimental secretary, about any known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws or regulations and fraud.
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates.
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.
Because of the field in which the client operates, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements: Compliance with the UK Charities Act, compliance with the charities SORPS and employment law.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISA's (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website 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 charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters that we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2. Accounting Policies
2.1. 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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The trustees have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
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.
The judgements and estimations that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:
-
The estimated useful life of the tangible fixed assets and the depreciation rates used thereon.
-
The net realisable value of slow moving stock.
-
The recoverability of the debtors.
2.4. Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor or trust deed.

2.5. Incoming Resources
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.
Donations and Grant Income are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation or any grant income is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends and other investment income is recognised once dividends and investment income has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend and investment income date. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment policies.
Incoming resources from charitable activities comprises of income from subscriptions, events and rents receivable and is accounted for on becoming receivable.
2.6. Resources Expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure. It is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measure reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including raising funds and charitable activities costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. The apportioned costs are based on fixed percentages.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification givens the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the charity.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Costs of raising funds
The costs of generating funds consist of investment management costs and certain legal fees.
Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities include grants made, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as shown in the notes.

The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border) Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
2.7. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and equipment
- 25% on reducing balance
2.8. Heritage Assets
Heritage assets are tangible fixed assets held by the charity which have historical and artistic significance. They are valued at their cost or valuation on acquisition. An assessment is made of the useful economic life and likely residual value of the assets in order to consider whether the assets should be depreciated. Where any potential depreciation charge is considered to be immaterial to the accounts, then an annual impairment review is carried out in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 259 of the Charities SORP. A depreciation rate of 10% had been applied historically on a reducing balance basis; however no depreciation is currently being charged, as it is considered that any further depreciation charge would be immaterial to the accounts.
The heritage assets currently held have been collected since formation of the Regiment in 1680. Assets are currently on display in a number of locations: the Regimental Headquarters; on loan to our battalions; regimental museums; or other units and intuitions. The remainder of the collection is held in secure storage. The Charity has maintained a register of all heritage assets albeit in paper form. The register identifies assets by a unique serial number and is currently being transferred to an electronic state. With the closure of locations storage space has reduced. Therefore, a prudent review of holdings has taken place. Items that cannot be displayed within the Regiment or its museums, and of no heritage significance have been disposed of.
2.9. Investment Properties
All investment properties are carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided for. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of financial activities.
2.10. Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
Fixed asset investments are held primarily to produce an investment return for the charity.

The Regimental Charity of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border) Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
2.11. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
At the end of each reporting period stocks are assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, the identified stock is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the statement of financial activities. Where a reversal of the impairment is required the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the statement of financial activities.
2.12. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.13. Financial Instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.
2.14. Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
