Financial review
Investment policy and objectives
1. Introduction
1.1 The Green Room Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity established by Trust Deed, which has general charitable aims. 1.2 The Trust has assets which are expected to accumulate to a total value around £10M through a combination of direct donations, investment returns and accrued interest. Assets are thereafter expected to decline steadily as annual grant making increases and exceeds annual income.
1.3 The trustees are governed by the Trust deed established in 2009 which sets out the general power of investment.
2. Investment Objectives
2.1 The Trust seeks to make investments which promise to have a demonstrable positive social or environmental impact along with an expected positive financial return.
2.2 The Trust's investment objective is to for capital growth in excess of inflation (RPI).
2.3 On occasions where potential social or environmental impact is deemed significant, an expected return below RPI (but still expected to preserve capital) on a single investment will be considered.
3. Risk
3.1 The Trust invests to mitigate long term inflation risk. Capital and income volatility can be tolerated if consistent with expectations. 3.2 The Trust's assets are diversified through investment in multiple funds, term deposits and bonds.
4. Liquidity Requirements
4.1 The Trust will tolerate reduced liquidity over several years on fund investments where the potential positive social or environmental impact, or investment return is deemed significant.
5. Time Horizon
5.1 The Trust can adopt a long term investment time horizon.
6. Management, Reporting and Monitoring
6.1 The Trust's asset value and income is monitored on an ongoing basis and recorded annually.
6.2 The trustees review the performance of individual investments against their initial targets on an ongoing basis.
7. Approval and Review
This Investment Policy Statement was prepared to provide a framework for the management of the Green Room Charitable Trust's investment assets. It will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure continuing appropriateness.
Plans for future periods
Aims and key objectives for future periods
Charity plan on increasing the investments in Bridges Funds in line with the objectives of the trust. The money coming into the trust through payroll giving will decline going forwards and stop when the Trustee leaves his position at JP Morgan. At this stage the interest from the investments will be the main source of income for the grant making pool. Charity will maintain and increase slightly the level of grant making.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a Trust deed dated 30 November 2009 and constitutes a unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
There shall be at least three and no more than seven Trustees and whenever the number of trustees is reduced to less than three an appointment shall be made as soon as practicable in order to increase the number of trustees to at least three and in the meantime the remaining trustees may not exercise the powers given to them by the trust deed except so far as may be reasonable in order to preserve the Trust fund.
The power of appointing new or additional trustees is vested in Tom Prickett. Should Tom Prickett die, a new or additional trustee shall be appointed by a resolution of the trustees which is recorded in the minutes and signed by the new trustee and such record shall be conclusive evidence of the appointment.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 1st October 2025
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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;
. 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; and
. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The Green Room Charitable Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Green Room Charitable Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 1st October 2025 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Statement of financial position, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 1st October 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
-
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 (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the independent auditors thereon.
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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Report) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The Green Room Charitable Trust
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors 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 a Report of the independent auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Using our general commercial and sector experience and through discussions with the directors and management, we identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements as well as those arising from management's own assessment of the risks that irregularities may occur either as a result of fraud or error.
-
We examined the company's regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with the directors and management any known o suspected instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. - We communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
-
In addressing the risk of management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries. We also challenged assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates and judgements.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 1st October 2025
1. Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
2. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Green Room Charitable Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is also the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest pound.
Going concern
As part of the directors' assessment of going concern, they have prepared detailed cash flow and profit and loss forecasts for the next 12 months. The forecasts have been prepared on an appropriate basis, taking into account the current economic conditions that exist.
After making appropriate enquires, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to enable it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They believe it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
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.
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.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
