REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2023. 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 fund exists for the collective benefit of the Unit as a whole, with particular emphasis on benefits to the Recruits, Marines and Junior Ranks, in order to provide the appropriate facilities to enhance the military and individual skills of all its personnel.
The objects of the Fund are for the promotion of efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by the provision and support of facilities and activities for the efficiency and well-being of service personnel.
The fund carries out these objects by:
Providing and assisting service personnel to more effectively perform their roles within the Armed Forces of the Crown by providing and supporting social activities, sporting and adventure training activities and associated facilities. This assistance enables service personnel to face the challenges and danger associated with military service by developing and maintaining their teamwork; skills; fitness; confidence, character, spirit, attitude and morale. As a result the fund promotes the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by enhancing the capability of the Royal Marines to undertake the roles demanded of it including the defence of the United Kingdom and its interests.
Income to the Charity is derived from various grants, subscriptions, surpluses from the regimental shop and laundrette venture, interest and occasional donations. The laundrette turnover has increased after a price increase in January 2022 when the new laundrette equipment was installed. The regimental shops turnover has decreased as the contract for providing ROP packs to recruits ended during the year. This contract was funded by the Crown. Grants were paid to many groups and individuals to pursue activities that have enhanced military efficiency, improved morale and enhanced the general welfare of the beneficiaries of the fund.
In allocating these grants the Management has considered the impact on the fund/account and where necessary has designated the amounts shown in the accounts to be carried over to the following year which represent the amounts allocated but not yet spent.
The activities of the charity in the form of social and occasional sporting events are accounted for by means of designated and restricted funds. The Management find that by using these funds to analyse the income and expenditure, it can control the various projects with more ease for current and future charitable objects.
The summary of income and expenditure relating to the various funds can be found at note 20.
Grant Making Policy
The policy of the Trustee is to manage the Fund's affairs with prudence taking into consideration the long term as well as a short term view of the fund, whilst expending the income in accordance with the purpose laid down in the Fund's Charter. Grants to groups and individuals are made within the bounds of the charter.
Fund meetings are held regularly and at least once per term, where the management committee will consider bids and applications to the fund. Any bids falling outside the bounds of the charter are not normally approved unless they are within the spirit of the aim of the fund charter.
Public Benefit
The Charity exists to support the military efficiency of the Royal Marines. By improving morale and Esprit de Corps amongst members of the Corps family the Charity directly contributes to the quality of the Royal Marines as a key component of the nation's Armed Forces and thereby to the defence of the nation. The Trustee has complied with the duty in the Charities Act 2011 and given regard to the Charity Commission.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
There has been a steady income and expenditure flow within the accounting period and the fund is operating as a going concern with sufficient funds available for the day to day and future activities. Total income for the year amounted to £649,537 (2022: £681,513). This income was mainly from the shop and laundrette activity and grants to the Charity. Total resources expended amounted to £615,239 (2022: £695,792); the total fund balance carried forward at the end of the year amounted to £700,697.
The Trustee is satisfied with the performance of the fund over the last accounting period and considers that expenditure has been within the Charter of the Fund.
Reserves policy
The Trustee's policy is to maintain a sufficient level of reserves within investments, current balance £321,216, to cover a redundancy contingency for the civilian staff of six months wages, £40,000 and sufficient to cover the laundrette equipment operating lease rental, currently £214,252. This policy provides a stable base for the Charity's continuing activities. General reserves are normally only maintained at a level which is sufficient to meet the running costs of the Charity, a working capital of £40,000 is maintained to meet this requirement and the remaining reserves are used to make grants in accordance with the Charity's objectives on a regular basis.
At 31 January 2023 the fund had free reserves of £101k. This is calculated as follows:
| £'000 | |
|---|---|
| Net assets | 701 |
| Less: Designated funds |
(159) |
| Functional fixed assets | (18) |
| Investments as noted above | (321) |
| Stock | (102) |
| 101 | |
This indicates that the fund had excess reserves of £61k at 31 January 2023. This is an increase on the surplus at 31 January 2022 (£44K). The trustee continues to consider options to reduce the level of excess reserves including the need to increase retained reserves to offset expected future cuts in income.
Financial Risk Management
The Trustee's view is that a good level of reserves and the low administrative costs of the Charity mean that its exposure to risk is very limited. The Trustee, as a matter of principle, does not accept any obligations on behalf of the Charity without having the funds immediately available to meet those obligations.
The internal checks and controls governed by Service Regulations ensure that regular and random checks are applied to the Charity to safeguard its assets and grant making policy.
Investment Policy
The Trustee has the power to invest in such assets as he sees fit within the restrictions of the Investment Policy laid down in Service Fund Regulations Chapter 8. Currently the investments are held within a managed account with the RNRMC's Investment portfolio with Cazenove Capital and Sarasin & Partners LLP Investment Managers. The Trustee's aim is to invest all funds surplus to immediate requirements in interest bearing accounts to maximise the returns.
FUTURE PLANS
The charitable objectives for the forthcoming year are to:
-
Provide the appropriate amenities for the personnel of the Unit; predominantly aimed at meeting the needs of the Recruits and other trainees training at the Centre.
-
Make appropriate grants and to maintain and enhance the performance of the personnel within the organisation.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The Trustee has delegated the day to day running of the account to nominated representatives from within the unit organisation. Fund committee meetings are held on a frequent basis and have been structured to provide a wide representation of personnel to represent the best interests of the Charity. However, all decisions are minuted and approved by the Trustee as laid down within the charter.
Risk management
The Management has considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed. These risks have been reviewed and the management have established systems and procedures to manage them. The Trustee considers by reviewing the accounts monthly, the management are able to manage and review the income over expenditure.

Ministry of Defence
The charity works closely with the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Some of the charity's personnel are employed by the MOD and the charity operates from MOD premises for which no charge is incurred. The amount of time spent by MOD personnel or the amount of MOD premises space utilised by the charity is not discrete from other MOD responsibilities. Therefore no value has been recognised as donated services within these financial statements for the use of MOD personnel and premises.
22. ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY
The charity is under the control of the trustee.
