## **THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the charity for the 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023. The financial statements comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

##  **Objectives and aims** 

The Trust is a general purpose charity and the intention of the Trustees is to develop main areas of benefit over the course of time. During the current year the focus has been on medical research, health and welfare and education. 

The Trust is very selective in the grant making process and applications are reviewed by the Trustees personally. 

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. 

##  **Grant-making policies** 

It is the policy of the Trustees to make grants to other registered institutions in areas of medical research, education, social causes and other such charitable organisations as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit. 

The Trustees have sought to benefit the public through a range of grants to causes within the conditions of the trust deed. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

##  **Review of activities** 

During the year grants of £7,481,535 (2022: £3,184,268) were made as disclosed in note 6 to the accounts. A transfer of £6,734,954 was made from the Endowment Fund to the Income Fund to cover the shortfall arising in the Income Fund as a result of making these grants in accordance with the Trustees' policy of releasing funds from the Endowment Fund as required to meet the operating needs of the Trust. 

## **Financial review** 

##  **Principal funding sources** 

The Trust was established by an initial grant from Sir W L and Lady N V Adderley. The Trust has been well supported with further gifts from Sir W L and Lady N V Adderley and it is envisaged that this will continue as and when needed. During the year gifts of £3,805,000 (2022: £2,525,000) were received from W A Capital Limited. Sir W L Adderley is the managing director and majority shareholder of W A Capital Limited. 

##  **Investment policy and objectives** 

The overall objective of the investment policy is to achieve sufficient growth and income (taking into account additional cash donations to the trust) to meet the requirements of the reserves policy. 

At the year end, the Trust held 967,250 shares in Dunelm Group plc, with a market value of £10,514,008 (2022: £10,504,335). The intention of the Trustees is to hold these shares for the long term and benefit from capital growth. Sir W L Adderley and Lady N V Adderley intend to continue to make cash donations from companies which they control to meet the ongoing and future commitments of the charity.

## **THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

##  **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees seek to ensure that the minimum level of reserves is sufficient to cover the Trustees' commitments and plans for the foreseeable future. Under the terms of the Trust Deed, the Trustees are able to apply capital of the fund as well as income. Taking into account the intention or additional cash donations to the Trust, as stated in the Investment policy and objectives, the Trustees consider they have sufficient resources and funds available to meet their obligations including responding to applications for grants and cover support and governance costs. The Income Fund reserve at 5 April 2023 was £Nil (2022: £Nil) and the Endowment Fund was £7,347,936 (2022: £10,268,217). 

##  **Going concern** 

At the time of preparing the Financial Statements the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing. During this assessment, the Trustees considered the position and performance of the Companies which support the Trust. Following this assessment the Trustees concluded that it was appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements. 

##  **Future plans** 

The Trustees intend to continue to make grants to the Universities and other Charitable institutions which it currently supports as well as forming new relationships. These grants will be funded by existing funds held and subsequent donations received. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

##  **Legal and administrative details** 

The Stoneygate Trust was established by a Trust Deed dated 2 July 2007, as amended by a deed dated 30 December 2013 and 21 September 2015. The Trustees listed on page 1 served throughout the year. 

The power of appointing new or additional Trustees is vested in the said Sir W L Adderley during his lifetime and subject thereto in the said Lady N V Adderley during her lifetime. 

The Trust's bankers are Barclays Wealth, 1 Churchill Place, London EH14 5HP. The Trustees have wide powers of investment vested in them by the Trust Deed. 

##  **Organisational structure** 

The Trustees meet regularly to discuss and consider the potential areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. 

The Trustees decide on the grants to be paid after careful research into potential grant recipients. Mr A Walden, a Trustee, is engaged as a self-employed consultant to undertake research in potential grants. 

##  **Risk management** 

The Trustees have reviewed areas where potential and major risks may arise to the Trust in accordance with the statement of recommended practice and have established systems and procedures to manage these risks. The principal risk faced by the Trust lies in the performance of the investments. This is kept under regular review by the Trustees.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **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: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- 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. 

## **Disclosure of information to auditors** 

- Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that: 

- so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and 

- that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information. 

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Stoneygate Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 5 April 2023 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards 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 been withdrawn. 

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. 

## In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2023 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 Auditors' 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, 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 twelve 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.

**THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE STONEYGATE TRUST (CONTINUED)** 

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires 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 and 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, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.

**THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE STONEYGATE TRUST (CONTINUED)** 

## **Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 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 Auditors' 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. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Based on our understanding of the charity and the sector, we have identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to UK Tax and legislation and breaches of the Charities Act, and we have considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, Charities Act 2022 (introduced in part in October 2022) and provisions of the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries, and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed included: 

• Enquiries with management for consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud. 

• Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, journal entries crediting revenue, journal entries crediting cash and journal entries with specific defined descriptions. 

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The more removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is, from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by forgery or intentional misrepresentation, for example, or through collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

**THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **1. General information** 

The Stoneygate Trust is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission. Its registered office address is Two Marlborough Court, Watermead Business Park, Syston, Leicestershire, LE7 1AD and its registered number is 1119976. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

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 (FRS 102) (Second Edition), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. 

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 effective applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (Second Edition) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The Stoneygate Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **2.2 Going concern** 

At the time of preparing the Financial Statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have taken into consideration the performance of Companies who provide the Trust with donated income and their ability to introduce funds if required, together with the performance of investments. The Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements. 

## **2.3 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 of income receivable can be measured reliably. Investment income is included when receivable and donations are accounted for at the time of the receipt. 

## **2.4 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is possible that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and that 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 attributable to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

**THE STONEYGATE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.5 Grants** 

Grants payable are included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which conditions attached to the award have been met. Any grants which have been promised but where there are no conditions, or where conditions have been met but the grant has yet to be paid, are accounted for as creditors on the Balance Sheet. Where grants have been approved in principle but conditions attached to the award have not yet been met they are included in the notes to the accounts as a contingent liability. 

## **2.6 Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

Resources are allocated to the particular Fund where costs relate directly to that Fund. The cost of general direction and administration is borne by the Income Fund. 

Support costs and governance costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. 

## **2.7 Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **2.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. 

Depreciation is provided on the following basis: 

Software 

- 20% straight line basis 

## **2.9 Fund accounting** 

The Trust maintains two funds, as follows:- 

## Endowment Fund 

The expendable Endowment Fund represents donations received which form part of the capital fund of the Trust. The Fund is expendable endowment insofar as the Trustees have discretion to expand the Fund in furtherance of the objects of the Trust. Transfers are made from the Endowment Fund to the income fund to cover any shortfall arising on a year by year basis as a result of amounts expended from the income fund in furtherance of the Charity's objects in excess of the net balance held in the income fund. The Endowment Fund includes a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investment assets at market value. 

## Income Fund 

The Income Fund represents the income arising on the Endowment Fund and is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the Trust. The Fund is a general unrestricted fund.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.10 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are stated at fair value as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. 

## **2.11 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. 

## **2.12 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. 

## **2.13 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Long-term liabilities, where these are grants payable, are not discounted as any such adjustment would be immaterial and due to the nature of the commitment.
