Report of the trustees (incorporating the Directors’ report) For the year ended 31 March 2024
The trustees present their unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Structure, governance and management
Finhumf was incorporated on 6 March 2008, and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. The objects of the Charity are such exclusively charitable purposes as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion decide.
The Trustees, who are also directors of Finhumf for the purposes of company law, who have been in office throughout the period and to the date of this report are (except as noted):
Leslie Hill Bob Noyen (resigned 10 July 2024) Jamie Ball Peter Hald (appointed 6 June 2023)
The charity takes into account experience, qualifications and dedication to charitable causes when recruiting and appointing new trustees. The charity provides ongoing training for its trustees where appropriate.
Objectives and activities
The broad objects and powers of the charity allow trustees to regularly review how best to apply the charitable funds. The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives. The policy set by the trustees is to support a variety of charitable projects in the future in making grants to other organisations at their discretion. In doing so the trustees give due consideration to the nature of each organisation either as a UK registered charity or a community not for profit project.
Achievements and performance
In 2023 we continued our relationship with XLP, which now spans some 10 years. We have always given them funds, usually £50,000 per annum on a non hypothecated basis as this gives them the flexibility to use the funds wherever the need arises. Many of their donations are expressly focussed on one activity, therefore giving them freedom is very valuable to the charity. XLP goes from strength to strength, raising £2.2 million in new funds per annum at present.
We also continued to support the Landmark Trust with apprenticeship funds, and will see the first of these complete their apprenticeship in early 2025, we hope to continue our work with the Trust in the next year.
We completed our project with Teach First for now, and will stay in touch with them for future projects.
We started to investigate a new project with Queen Mary’s College at London University to provide bursaries for students from low income families. We hope that after the due diligence, we will be able to fund this project in late 2024. This will be a long term commitment of some £34,000 per annum.
Our new Trustee Jamie Ball and our Treasurer and Finance Director Peter Hald continued to learn and build their understanding of our goals and add immeasurably to our knowledge and experience base at Finhumf.

Report of the trustees (incorporating the Directors’ report) (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2024
Financial Review
Income
Total income in the year amounted to £172,954 (2023: £151,944).
Grants and Donations
During the year, £109,000 was donated in support of Youth Work in the UK (2023: £7,142).
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity. The Trustees consider that the investment portfolio is liquid enough to also be considered as free reserves and are therefore satisfied the charity has sufficient reserves to ensure the future viability of the charity and its activities. At 31 March 2024 the total reserves of the charity were £2,591,963 (2023: £3,080,898). The Trustees can spend both income and capital at their absolute discretion.
Risk management
The trustees consider the main risk to be the concentration of the investment portfolio in one shareholding. We continue to monitor the variability of the Record share price and look for opportunities to liquidate the holding, but with current cash reserves there is not any urgency here and we await a favourable share price to move ahead. The value of the investments at the year-end had decreased to £2,010,947 compared to £2,555,382 in 2023.
Plans for future periods
The charity plans to make future donations to a variety of organisations. The nature and size of these donations will be at the discretion of the trustees.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Finhumf for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 in the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards 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.

Report of the trustees (incorporating the Directors’ report) (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2024
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102) (2019) and in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Finumf Charitable Company (‘the company’) For the year ended 31 March 2024
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
The accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2024
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.
1.1
Basis of accounting
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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Finhumf 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 note(s).
Advantage has been taken of the exemption for charities with income less than £500,000 from preparing a cash flow statement under SORP (FRS 102).
After reviewing the charity’s forecasts and projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
1.2
Company status
Finhumf is a company limited by guarantee. The members undertake to contribute such amount as may be required (not exceeding £1 each) to the charity’s assets in the event it should be wound up. The total of such guarantees at 31 March 2024 was £3 (2023: £3).
1.3 Income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which there is probability of receipt, the charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Non-cash donations are included at their market value at the time of the donation.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2024
1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals 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.
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs are the costs involved in the constitutional and statutory aspects of running the charity as a legal entity.
1.5 Foreign currency translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange prevailing at the accounting date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the date of the transactions. All differences are taken to the statement of financial activities.
1.6 Investments
Listed investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Expenditure on the acquisition of individual fixed assets costing more than £2,000 is capitalised at cost. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of the asset over its useful economic life.
The rates of depreciation are as follows:
Equipment Over 3 to 5 years straight line
1.8 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.
1.9 Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
1.10 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The charity does not have any bank loans.

1.11 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
The original donation received when the charity was set up has been included as an expendable endowment fund and the income arising is classed as unrestricted. The Trustees can spend both income and capital at their absolute discretion.
