OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity has the obligation to manage the scheduled properties and investments applying surplus income after maintenance and management and provision for extraordinary repairs in the ration of:
a) 1/3 for relief of those in need either generally or persons resident in the Ancient Parish of Shepshed who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by making grants of money, or providing or paying for items, services or facilities, calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons, subject to certain restrictions.
b) 2/3 Education Foundation: in promoting the education, including social and physical training, of persons resident in the area of the Ancient Parish of Shepshed who have not attained the age of 25 years and who are in need of financial assistance.
The Trustees employ the professional services of a property letting agent and manager to collect rents, manage and maintain the property in a manner to optimise the return from the property investment.
Grants are made after suitable enquiry by the Trustees to recipients under the terms of the objects noted.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake for the public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The charity has distributed 14 (2024: 21) grants in the year, totalling £4,000 (2024: £7,900).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The charity's principal place of business is 8 Smithy Way, Shepshed, Leicestershire, LE12 9QT.
The charity has use of an office at 6-8 Belton Street, Shepshed, Leicestershire, LE12 9AB.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these accounts are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements cover the individual entity.
The entity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
There are no material uncertainties relating to Going Concern
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
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 the relevant version of the 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) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Investments
Investments were recognised initially at fair value. Subsequently they are recognised at fair value with changes recognised in "net gains/(losses) on investments" in the SoFA as the shares are publicly traded so their value can be measured reliably.
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.
Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charitable company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
There are no critical accounting judgements or estimation uncertainty that, in the opinion of the trustees, will have a material effect on the financial statements.
