Objectives and activities
Principles objects
The objects of the charity are to act as a resource for young people between the ages of twelve and twenty five in particular but not exclusively living in Norfolk and Suffolk by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical educational and other activities as a means of:
-
a) Advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent mature and responsible individuals;
-
b) Advancing education;
-
c) Relieving unemployment
To advance any charitable purpose for the benefit of the public.
In furtherance of these objects, but not otherwise, the Trustees shall have the following powers:
-
a) To provide assistance and advice to young people to enable them to bridge the gap between education and the workplace and to fulfil their educational and working potential;
-
b) To educate young people to fulfil their potential as individuals and in respect of a career by educating them as to the opportunities open to them and assisting them with developing their potential;
-
c) To provide such education and assistance to young people with the role of carer where options and opportunities are restricted by the nature of the caring they give.
The charity achieves its objectives through making grants to individuals and organisations and providing advocacy, information and advice.
Public benefit
The Trustees of The Mason Trust are aware of the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit and consider the Trust provides a public benefit by requiring applicants to highlight the expected benefit/outcome on initial application and to report back to the Trustees on this. All applications that fall within the specified age range and application criteria are fairly considered by the Trustees. Young People also benefit widely through the school/further education initiatives detailed below.
Achievements and performance
Since the initiation of The Mason Trust, we have continued to invest back in the young people of Norfolk and Suffolk. The year's activities were severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and as such our primary focus has been on the development of icanbea.... The closure of schools and move to online learning during the lockdowns impacted our level of proactive interaction but the Trust continued to provide direct support to schools where possible using online tools - with details noted below.

Achievements and performance (continued)
Education Projects
These aim to further the link between industry and education. We feel that the most effective way of helping young people in the area is to help them to become self-sufficient, share our global knowledge to give them a broader view of what they could aspire to, and then support them in a variety of industry led activities which give them the confidence to do so.
Our methodology is split between face-to-face contact (industry supported presentations in secondary schools and colleges), utilising the internet via the development of icanbea.org.uk and strategic intervention (curriculum intervention). As noted above, the pandemic severely curtailed the work we were able to deliver to schools.
The major focus of the Trust's education work this year has been providing digital resources to help schools/students and parents with online learning during school closures. icanbea... has hosted a directory providing access to a range of educational resources across various sectors and subject areas.
In addition, the team delivered a number of online workshops through Microsoft Teams which were designed to show students how icanbea... can help them find their career paths. The Trust entered into a partnership with Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils in October 2020 to deliver the Youth Pledge for Employers (YPfE) project. It is a three-year project which ends in September 2023. The aim of the project is to engage with small and medium enterprises (SME's) across the New Anglia LEP region, to develop opportunities for young people to engage in work based-experiences, structured employment and sector related learning. The project has been very successful so far and has created many additional employer profiles on icanbea… Part of the project included development of the icanbea... CV Wizard (CV Builder) which has been designed to help young people build their first CV from their mobile device or computer. West Suffolk College are also a partner in the development of the CV Wizard. The resource launched in January 2021 and has proved to be successful with 217 CVs created by March 2021.
The user numbers and general stats for the site continue to grow.
Figures to the end of March 2021 show:
-
13,586 registered users
-
141 schools/colleges with registrations
-
379 organisations with a profile page
An icanbea... collaborative operations group was established in August 2020 which includes key members from New Anglia LEP, Norfolk County Council, Suffolk County Council and the DWP. The aim of the group is to ensure collaboration and cohesive working with key stakeholders across the region.
The Trust is part of the Young Sizewell C committee which focuses on showing young people the employment opportunities in Suffolk and Norfolk as well as providing information and updates on the future Sizewell C project.
We are also part of the organising committee for the Norfolk Skills and Careers Festival which hosts the large annual careers event at the Norfolk Showground.

Grant awards
The aim of our grant funding programme is to enable young people to fulfil their potential as individuals. This is achieved by awarding funding to individuals to help them achieve personal ambitions and to organisations working with young people whose work meets our ethos, aims and objectives. Since the Trust's inception, c.6100 young people have benefited from our Grant Funding programme, through awards made to applying individuals.
At the end of the financial year the Board of Trustees evaluated its position in respect of grant funding and took the decision to continue the temporary suspension of the grant funding programme for the following year and focus instead on the education programme. The situation is being reviewed periodically.
Some extracts from feedback received by the Trust from recipients of previous grant funding are noted below, highlighting the impact on the Young People in the area:
This experience meant so much to me because it was so much more than just a two-week trip to broaden my knowledge and to do what I love which is to play my music all around Malaysia. Thank you for helping me fund my once in a lifetime trip I am so very grateful for the opportunity you gave me. Individual
The grant gave me the opportunity to experience new cultures and travel abroad. It allowed me to try different experiences and meet new people and make new friends. The grant made the trip possible for me to go and volunteer in the Elephant Nature Park and in the Hill Tribe School. Individual
I'm incredibly grateful towards The Mason Trust for enabling me to build my artefact and I know that the experience has helped me in deciding which industry I want to continue to after my time at college. I would say that ultimately, this grant has allowed me to gain experience that will be valuable to future employers while I have also developed academic and vocational skills and gained an idea of where I want to take my education and then my future career. Individual
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting me with my Master's in Art Psychotherapy. I am very pleased to say that I have now officially completed the course and passed with a distinction. I know that I could not have achieved such a good result without your financial support and without the invaluable textbooks that supported my learning and development over the last three years. Individual
Financial review
The results for the year are shown on pages 8 to 17.
Reserves Policy
The policy of The Mason Trust is to maintain sufficient free reserves to cover a minimum of three months operating costs in order for it to carry out its obligations and services, plus sufficient reserves to cover any approved and committed grant awards where payment would fall due outside this window.
Trustees regularly review the level of grants awarded and future commitments and have agreed that surplus funds from a financial year will be held in reserves for future grant distribution and education projects.
During the financial year to 5 April 2021 the free reserves have fallen to £19,235 (2020: £43,714). The Trust also had restricted reserves amounting to £4,251 (2020: £3,846).

Plans for future periods
The Mason Trust continues to build contacts in schools and colleges in Norfolk and Suffolk and to encourage more companies to join with us as industry partners, predominantly via involvement with icanbea…. The continued development of icanbea… remains a priority to help us reach as many young people as possible across the region.
In early 2021 funding was secured from the DWP for a 12-month pilot project working with them to deliver a Digital Youth Hub. The aim of the project is to help young people aged 16-24 to overcome barriers into employment. Working with two local jobcentres in Thetford and Dereham the project delivers a bespoke employability plan to young people who are referred to the programme (Digital Youth Hub) which will hopefully give them a better chance of finding a sustainable job. The project launched in April 2021 and the outcomes will be reported in the next Annual Report, but to date it has proved successful and opportunities to extend the programme are being explored.
In addition to the Digital Youth Hub the Trust supported the DWP during 2021 to provide an area on icanbea... where Kickstart opportunities can be viewed, allowing eligible young people (on Universal Credit) to search for opportunities themselves. Kickstart listings are sent by the DWP on a daily basis and uploaded to icanbea...
We have been invited to join the Visitor Economy Network Initiative (VENI) which launches in 2021. The aim of the network is to bring educators and SMEs closer together to create opportunities for young people to develop work-ready skills and participate in and learn more about their local visitor economy.
The Education programme will continue to be developed.
As with many things, Covid-19 directly impacted on the Trust's plans to run a fundraising campaign during 2021/22, which had to be suspended and will be re-instigated when circumstances permit, as well as a campaign to raise its profile particularly within the local community where it is based.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
Organisational structure
The charity is governed by the Trustees who meet quarterly to discuss the operational activities and consider funding applications. Mrs Y Mason is Chair of the Trustees.
Risk management
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission recommendations to review the risks applicable to the charity and consider the risks to be minimal.
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. The departure has involved Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) 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.
Independent examiner

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Mason Trust
Year ended 5 April 2021
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2021 which are set out on pages 8 to 17.
Respective 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
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 5 April 2021
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 Diss Business Centre, Dark Lane, Scole, Diss, IP21 4HD, Norfolk.
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
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
(b) Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in making this assessment.
(c) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's objectives.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
(d) Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Donations and legacies are received by way of grants, donations and gifts and are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Income from grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
(e) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Trust in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.
-
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
-
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
(f) Grants payable
Grants payable are recognised in the year in which they are authorised, communicated and become unconditionally payable. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside the control of the charity.
(g) Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
(h) Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
(i) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line

3. Accounting policies (continued)
(j) Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
(k) Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
