Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 5 April 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities The objectives of the charity are achieved by the making of grants and donations to suitable individuals and organisations.
During the year grants totalling £45,324 (2024: £44,200) were made to the University of Durham. Grants totalling a further £19,634 were made to three students to support them with research projects.
The charity has a designated fund, the IHRR Durham University fund, to provide the funds to sponsor and support students during PhD studies at the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience. The charity committed support of £140,000 for an additional student due to commence studies in October 2025, for a period of approximately 3.5 years.
Investment performance
In line with the organisation's investment policy, monies are invested in a long term investment portfolio managed by Rathbones.
During the year income generated from investments was £72.968 (2024: £68,165).
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks faced by the charity lie in the performance of investments.
The trustees consider variability of investment returns on the permanent endowment to constitute the charity's major financial risk. This is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio.
Factors likely to affect future development
The factors likely to affect future development are changes to the Global market performance.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The Trustees’ investment powers are generated by the Trust Deed and they have delegated the management of the investment portfolio to Rathbones. The portfolio is a combination of different asset types and weightings to take into account both long term investment behaviours and shorter term prevailing market conditions. The investment objective aims to provide the opportunity for growth in income and therefore the Board's policy is to adopt a medium risk investment strategy. Reserves policy The charity has a low level of operating costs and maintains an operating reserve of £10,000 sufficient to settle any short term liabilities. The charity has identified free reserves at 5 April 2025 of £249,171 (2024: £346,073). This includes an amount of £401,307 (2024: £319.492) held within the investment portfolio in the form of short duration and treasury bonds, less funds designated.
FUTURE PLANS
The charity aims to continue to provide relief for financial hardship and assistance for education by making grants and donations.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity. The charity was established on 9 June 2006 as The Prebend Trust and changed its name to The Christopher Moyes Memorial Foundation on 12 May 2008. Recruitment and appointment of new trustees Trustees are appointed unanimously by the existing trustees after due consideration of the needs of the charity at that time and the relevant skills and experience of potential candidates. There must be no more than four trustees, with a quorum being two. Induction and training of trustees takes place on an informal basis.

1 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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
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 acommitment but not accrued as expenditure.
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.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose ofeach fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Investments
Investments in managed funds are valued at the closing prices quoted by the investment managers. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are measured at cost with changes recognised in gains or loss.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity's accounting policies the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities. The estimated and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.
