The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements. a. Status and administration The Charity was established by a Declaration of Charitable Trust dated 23 March 2010 and is registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 1135810. The Charity's governing instrument is its Trust Deed which allows for any activities covered by the Charity's objectives, with no specific restrictions. ## b. Charitable objectives for the public benefit The objectives of the Charity are to provide funds for general charitable purposes as the Trustees shall from time to time think fit. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. ## c. Grant making policies The Trust's grant making policies are to make grants for general charitable purposes throughout England and Wales to individuals and organisations. The Trustees meet annually to decide on the grants they will make in the coming year and will monitor how the funds are used once the grants are made. d. Governance The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust Deed. The Trustees meet at least once a year to discuss and implement policy. - e.

The Offshore Bond investments is valued at £ 2,594,782 (2023 - £2,412,007). All the investments are managed by an independent investment manager in conformity with the charity policy and its constitution. The holdings comprise numerous collective funds which provide for a broad investment spread and consequently low risk in accordance with the Trustees’ risk management policy. The investments are held within a wrapper so as to reduce costs of running the portfolio. 4 THE VALIANT CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 6 APRIL 2023 TO 5 APRIL 2024 ## g. Reserves and funding The Trustees are maintaining sufficient cash reserves to meet current and planned expenditure. ## h. Financial review The Trust's incoming resources from Gift Aid donations and income received from the invested portfolio totalled £137,624 (2023 - £373,376). The resources expended totalled £276,188 (2023 - £1,290,122) and include grants made of £205,220 (2023 — £1,227 ,000). There is an increase in total fund balances at the year end from £4,488,902 in 2023 to £4,653,905 in 2024. i. ## Appointment and induction of Trustees The power to appoint new or additional Trustees is vested in the Founder during her lifetime and is exercisable by deed but the Founder may at any time at her discretion by declaration in writing surrender such power either temporarily or forever. In such event, the power to appoint will be vested in the continuing Trustees. In appointing a new Trustee, the Trustees will take into account the benefits of appointing a person who is able by virtue of his or her personal or professional qualifications to make a contribution to the pursuit of the objects or management of the Charity. j. Risk management The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity. All major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate these risks. ## k. Plans for the future The Trustees will continue to make grants to charities and charitable causes generally within the North Hertfordshire area. They will also consider applications for grants from other areas. The Trustees will invest some of the donations received whenever they consider appropriate. 5 THE VALIANT CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 6 APRIL 2023 TO 5 APRIL 2024 ## Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; * state whether applicable UK 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 operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They 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. - In so far as the trustees are aware: * there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware; and * the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. ## Signed by the Trustees: **----- Start of picture text -----**
