Professional investment managers are appointed by the Trustees to act as broker to the Foundation with the Trustees retaining overall responsibility for strategic direction in order to maximise returns. The Foundation does not raise funds from other sources.
Grants and donations to other charities, which amounted to £1,510,277 (2024: £359,337) before allocated costs, as set out in note 5, are made by the Foundation. At 5" April 2025 grants and donations of £730,000 were not yet paid and therefore are included within accruals. The policy of the Foundation is for the Trustees to carefully review applications and requests received for grants and donations as to whether the Foundation should support the application or request. The principal areas of support are outlined below in the review of the activities.
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 Foundation’s objectives and in planning future activities and setting the donation making policy for the year.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Foundation is constituted as an unincorporated charity under a Trust deed dated 7" February 2008, and constitutes an unincorporated charity. The present Trustees were appointed under the Trust Deed. New Trustees may be appointed by a resolution of the Trustees.

All decisions relating to the Foundation are made by the Trustees as there are no employees. The Trustees have given consideration to the major risks facing the Foundation, mainly in respect of investment performance, and have satisfied themselves that adequate systems and procedures are established to mitigate any risks.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The Foundation has continued to pursue its objectives. During the year the Foundation received dividends (including fixed coupon interest amounts) of £763,549 (2024: £446,007) from its listed investments and cash deposits along with a donation of £2,049,566 (2024: £nil).
Grants and donations totalling £1,510,277 (2024: £359,337) before allocated costs have been made in furtherance of the Foundation’s objectives. Of this £730,000 is due to be paid in future periods. The Foundation supports a wide range of UK charities and made 41 grants ranging from £1,000 to £300,000 during the period covered, A wide range of causes were supported with the following areas of current interest:
-
¢ Hospices — five grants
-
Mental Health / Wellbeing — five grants
-
® Disability —- seven grants
-
® Young adults — nine grants
-
® Family support — three grants
The Foundation does not support medical research or make grants to individuals.
Unfortunately, due to the high volume of applications received the Foundation is only able to respond to those that have been successful. If you have not received a reply within six months, please consider it unsuccessful,
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves, which are unrestricted funds, and considers it appropriate to have a level of reserves which will enable the Foundation to generate sufficient investment income for the Foundation to continue the range of charitable giving that it currently undertakes.
The Trustees’ policy is to distribute the Foundation’s incoming resources by way of grants and donations together with grants and donations from reserves if it deems the related grant or donation will furtherance the objectives of the Foundation whilst maintaining sufficient reserves to generate income in future periods to distribute.
The Trustees regularly review the level of reserves of the Foundation to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the Foundation’s objectives.
The Foundation reported a net increase in funds for the year of £1,450,066. As shown on note 11, page 16, the free unrestricted reserves at 5" April 2025 were £7,636,099.
At 5" April 2025 the Foundation had committed to pay donations totalling £730,000 in future periods and these amounts are included within accruals. Of this total £410,000 is due to be paid within one year and £320,000 is due to be paid after more than one year.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Trustees’ investment policy is to generate a sufficient total return, in order to fund the approximate level of expenditure envisaged by the Trustees in accordance with the Foundation’s objects. The Trustees believe that funds should be invested to provide the maximum total return commensurate with the level of risk agreed between itself and its advisors. Overall, the portfolio should provide the opportunity for capital and income growth to meet the objectives of the Foundation and should provide some protection against inflation.

THE LOCKWOOD CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LOCKWOOD CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of The Lockwood Charitable Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, 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),
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 5" April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e 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 (UR)) 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 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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LOCKWOOD CHARITABLE
FOUNDATION (Continued)
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
-
e sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or e 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 3 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.
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 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.
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:
Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The laws and regulations that were identified as being of significance to the entity were the Charities Act, Tax legislation and UK financial reporting standards.

FOUNDATION (Continued)
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims and actual or potential breaches of regulations; inspection of relevant legal and regulatory correspondence; review of meeting minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud may be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.fre.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ 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 we are required to state to them in an auditors’ 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.

THE LOCKWOOD CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2025
-
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-
a) BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these financial statements, These 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 (FRS102) (second edition) — (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK 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 ‘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)’ rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Lockwood Charitable Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.,
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Foundation’s ability to continue as a going concern and constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Trustees to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Foundation’s accounting policies, The areas involving a higher degree ofjudgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
b) INCOME RECOGNITION All income is recognised once the Foundation 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 are recognised once received, In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the Foundation 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 Foundation and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Foundation; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable.
c) EXPENDITURE RECOGNITION Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Foundation to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.

d) CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES Costs of charitable activities include donations made.
-
e) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Foundation has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments,
Short term debtors and creditors
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 Statement of Financial Activity.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Other loans (concessionary loans)
Amounts which are received in the form of loans which were received to further the Foundations purposes are treated as a concessionary loan. These loans are initially recognised at the amount received, with the carrying value adjusted to reflect repayments.
- f) FIXED ASSET 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 Foundation does not acquire options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the Trust is that of volatility in 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.
- g) FUNDS The Foundation’s Funds constitute unrestricted funds, which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objectives.
h) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Functional andpresentational currency
The functional and presentational currency of the Foundation is the pound Sterling.

-
h) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION (CONTINUED) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of financial activities.
All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of financial activities under the heading finance costs.
-
i) 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 original purchase value. 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 shown separately in the Statement of Financial Activities.
-
j) TAXATION STATUS H. M. Revenue & Customs has granted the Foundation charity exemption and thus it is exempt from taxation. Any irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred,
;
2. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. Whilst the Trustees have made judgements, estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements, they consider that these have not had a significant effect on amounts recognised.
