**THE HELEN JEAN COPE CHARITY (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06660648)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of  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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** 

The objects of the charity are to distribute the charity's assets to local charitable causes which must be registered charities. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

The objectives and everything the charity does is for the public benefit. 

## **Grantmaking** 

The grant policy is to:- give donations to registered charities only. - not to give to individuals. - not to make any permanent on-going commitment to any one charity. - to consider repeat applications on their merit and in the light of the financial position at that time. - consider applications from non-local charities on their merit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The charity has distributed 49 (2021: 52) grants to charities during the period. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The total expenditure during the period was £119,385 (2021: £107,734). 

The charity has total funds carried forward of £6,547,470 (2021: £6,901,410) which will be used to continue meeting the charity's objectives. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The Constitution authorise the trustees to make and hold investments using the assets of the charity. The trustees have entered into a discretionary management agreement of the investment portfolio with Charles Stanley and Company Ltd. During the period the trustees asked the brokers to take into account any social, environmental or ethical considerations when managing the portfolio. 

The overall value of the charity's listed and unlisted investments decreased by £339,690 during the year. Gross dividends received in the period amounted to £72,218 (2021: £61,951).The trustees have considered the risk of the pandemic on the investments as noted in this report. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Charity's unrestricted funds are mainly invested in stocks and shares. The Charity does not solicit donations or receive any grants, nor does it provide continued funding to any organisations. The likelihood of a shortfall arising meaning that a reserve is necessary is considered so low that the Trustees believe that the Charity's reserves can be set at a level to simply cover the contractual expenses of the Charity relating to its continued operations which are as follows: 

a)  Lease of the office premises (maximum commitment of three years) 

b)  Public Liability and office Insurance 

c)  Salary of part time Administrator 

d)  Fees payable to professional advisers 

e)  General administration costs 

f)   Such other expenditure as the Trustees may from time to time consider necessary for the operation of the Charity 

The Trustees have resolved that a sum sufficient to cover three years expenses shall at all times be reserved from the assets of the Charity or until such time as the Charity shall come to an end.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HELEN JEAN COPE CHARITY** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Helen Jean Cope Charity ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the 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. 

## **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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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 

4. 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.

## **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. 

To ensure compliance with the accruals concept it may be necessary to defer income into the following period. 

## **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 a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

The valuation of the investment property is based on the valuation by E A Lane & Sons at 31 December 2021, a professional Chartered Surveyor with experience in the location and class of the property. 

The trustees have considered this valuation and to the best of their knowledge believe this valuation remains appropriate. 

The formal valuation in 2021 gave rise to a significant increase in the overall value of the investment property.

Fair value at 31 December 2022 is represented by:
