**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025** 

## **UNIV. OLD MEMBERS’ TRUST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 12 and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in March 2018 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Deed that established the original Univ Old Members’ Trust (“the old OMT”) in 1988 states that no part of the capital shall be permanent endowment. At the meeting of the trustees on 14[th] June 2009 it was agreed to reconstitute the old trust through the establishment of a new trust that has the capacity to hold capital as permanent endowment.  The new Univ. Old Members’ Trust (“the new OMT”) was registered with the Charity Commission on 19 August 2010. 

The new trust’s registration number with the Charity Commission is 1137545. A uniting direction was received from the Charity Commission on 5[th] July 2011 allowing one set of accounts to be produced for both the old OMT & new OMT. In these financial statements references to the “Trust” incorporates both the old and new OMT trusts. 

The trustees shall be not more than twenty-one nor fewer than six of whom not more than three shall be appointed (save in the case of the Original College Trustees) by the College from amongst the Master, Fellows and lecturers of the College. 

The remainder (up to a maximum number of 18) shall be Old Members appointed (save in the case of the Original Old Members' Trustees) by the trustees acting by a majority (or, if there is no Old Members' Trustee, the College). 

The Trust has two sub-committees: the Finance sub-committee and the Student Support and Access sub-committee. Both of these sub-committees are chaired by a trustee and their membership consists of a mixture of trustees and other Old Members of the College. 

The Finance Committee is responsible for the management of the investments and for making recommendations on spending.  The Student Support and Access sub-committee considers applications for bursaries and makes recommendations on allocations and on widening access. Both of these committees report to meetings of the Trust where their recommendations are either ratified or amended. 

The Trust provides new trustees with a Welcome Pack, comprising a description of the Trust, its workings, objectives and policies; a trustee job description; minutes of recent meetings; the most recent audited accounts; information on other trustees and a Deed of Adherence. Taken together, and in combination with the opportunity to ask questions of experienced trustees or if necessary the Trust's legal or accounting advisors, the Trust believes that this provides new trustees with an adequate basis for performing their tasks. 

The Trust monitors developments that may affect its operations or the obligations of its trustees (for example changes in charities regulation) and seeks to update trustees accordingly.

## **UNIV. OLD MEMBERS’ TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The purpose of both the old and new OMT trusts is the furthering the educational purposes of University College, Oxford (“the College”). The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the grant making policy for the year. The Trust furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through 

- I. the funding of fellowships, research posts and scholarships within or in connection with the College; 

- II. the provision of facilities for study and research (with a view to publication) at or in connection with the College and the payment of the expenses thereof; 

- III. the construction, provision, restoration, improvement, repair, maintenance or replacement of any buildings used or to be used by the College and the fixtures, fittings, furnishings and equipment for use therein; and 

- IV. the making of donations and other contributions to the College. 

In addition to the Trust's annual contribution to specific requests from the College, its immediate financial objectives are to manage funds in order: 

- I. to fund Fellowships which are part of the College's tutorial system; and 

- II. to enable the provision of student bursaries. 

## **GRANT MAKING POLICY** 

Each year, the Trust asks the College to outline its needs and considers a grant in support of the College’s request based on funds available from capital and/or income. 

In the case of graduate Scholarship awards, the Trust asks the College to select Scholarship award winners each year from amongst graduate students of the College, on the basis of academic or other merit as determined by the individual parameters of the award(s) made. 

In the case of undergraduate Bursary awards, the Trust has appointed a Student Support and Access sub-committee (currently comprised of two trustees, six non-trustee Old Members, one non-trustee Fellow and a current student). Bursaries are allocated purely on the basis of financial need as evaluated by the committee by looking at the costs of living for an academic year in Oxford and the level of support students will receive from the government and from the Oxford Bursary scheme. Holders of bursaries must matriculate at the College to receive their funding. 

## **A REVIEW OF OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The trustees are pleased that the achievements and performance of the Trust, as set out below, demonstrate success. 

The Trust supported the following fellowships at the College: 

- Ancient History, 

Page 2 



## **UNIV. OLD MEMBERS’ TRUST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025** 

- Modern History, 

- Chemistry,  Physics,  Biology,  PPE,  Law, 

- Economics, and 

- Medical Sciences. 

The Trust supported the Access initiatives of the College by contributing towards the cost of the Schools Liaison work. 

The Trust supported individual undergraduates by way of bursaries. In 2024/25 75 students benefited (2024: 82). The total of awards was £106,545 (2024: £122,944). 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The Trust currently depends on donations from individuals, corporations and other benefactors together with fund raising activities, and investment returns to provide the wherewithal for its elective expenditure on student support. 

The Trust is extremely thankful for all those that supported the work of the Trust during 2024/25. 

At 31 July 2025 the value of the Trust’s funds was £10,962,332 (2024:£10,734,285). The total of donations received during the year including Gift aid recovered decreased to £16,729 (2024:£54,865). Investment income decreased to £168,529 (2024: £241,207). Capital movements on investment returns were increased significantly to positive £361,570 this year (2024: negative £23,167). 

As stated in Note 3 to the Financial Statements, the Trust does not employ any staff.  Instead, staff employed by the College are engaged in activities that also benefit the Trust, using the same systems and processes that the College uses. The Trust uses the same fundraising database Raiser’s Edge NXT, to maintain contact details for alumni and donors.  The Trust continues to work to maintain the integrity of its data and to ensure that all evidence of consent, whenever it is required, is recorded along with documentation to support to Gift Aid claims. 

The Trust’s compliance with GDPR regulations and the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 are central to the governance of its development activity.  It is the College that is formally registered with the Fundraising Regulator and follows its guidance and best practice when working with vulnerable people. 

The fundraising strategy for the OMT is determined by its Trustees in close liaison with the College and aims to seek funds in its core objective of student bursaries. Fundraising is led by the College’s Director of Development, Communications & Alumni Relations,(“DC&AR”) who is invited to attend the meetings of the Trustees. Fundraising activity is directed at alumni of the College, and those Trusts and Foundations with objectives aligned with those of the Trust.  A variety of methods are used including direct mail, email and social media, telephone and face-to-face approaches to discuss fundraising opportunities with supporters and potential supporters.  The Trust has had no complaints about its fundraising engagement processes in 2024-2025 (there were no complaints in 2023-2024). 

## **INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE** 

The Trust holds capital and income, to apply as it thinks fit for all or any one or more of the objects of the Trust _._ 

Page 3 



## **UNIV. OLD MEMBERS’ TRUST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025** 

Historically the Trust has used two main investment managers at any one time with approximately 50% of the Trust’s investments held with each manager. As noted in last year’s report the Trust has been in the process of appointing a new investment manager. During the year part of the existing funds held at Ruffer were realised and new investments made with Cazenove Capital who provide a more growthorientated investment strategy. At the same time the custody of the remaining Ruffer holdings were transferred across to Cazenove Capital for administrative efficiency. 

The Trust has set itself an investment objective of generating a 3% real return on investment over the medium term, while incurring reasonable levels of investment risk. The Trust regards its overall investment performance relative to these objectives as being satisfactory. The investments yielded a positive return of 5.08% in the year ended 31 July 2025 (2024: 2.08%). 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trust’s income is in part dependent on the grants received from major individual contributors, and on various donations received on an _ad hoc_ basis.  The charity actively pursues additional sources of funding through the support of the College’s professional fundraisers and maintains contact with the existing providers of grants and donations via regular reporting of results. 

Further, the Trust depends on income from investments; these investments are managed by professional firms, the activity of which is overseen by the Finance Committee.  The Finance Committee regularly monitors investment value and income received from the professional fund managers. 

The Trust does not require combined or liability insurance for the users of the Trust's services, nor are health, safety and environmental matters relevant, because the beneficiaries are either the College and/or its students and as such are covered by the College’s insurances.  This situation is kept under full and continuous review. 

Internal financial controls, budgeting and reporting procedures are appraised regularly by the Finance Committee (and therefore by the wider Trust) for their effectiveness in providing accurate and timely information and are updated as necessary. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The Trust’s reserves policy is to maintain sufficient free reserves in cash or cash equivalents to more than meet expected expenditures for 12 months ahead. As stated below the Trustees consider a distribution rate equal to 3% of funds as appropriate. The Trustees have set aside these free reserves in order to protect future operations of the Trust from the effects of any unforeseen variations in its income streams. As at 31 July 2025 free reserves were on target at £328,870 (2024: £379,606). 

Total funds of the Trust at the year end amounted to £10,962,332 (2024: £10,734,285). This includes endowment capital of £9,326,723 (2024: £9,020,154), unspent restricted funds totalling £637,937 (2024: £648,801) and unrestricted funds £997,672 (2024: £1,065,330). Unrestricted funds comprise the designated fund for the support of College activities of £668,802 (2024: £685,724) and the Trust’s general free reserve of £328,870 (2024: £379,606). 

## **CONSIDERATIONS OF A GOING CONCERN** 

The Trustees have duly reflected on the declared statements within this report, the considerations for the current reporting period and looking ahead for at least 12 months from the signing of this Report and conclude that the Trust is a going concern.   While there remains significant uncertainty in the investment assets performance and unknowable income from benefactors, the trust has a sufficiency of unrestricted funds to meet all likely outgoings.  It also notes that its student support is elective and can be adjusted in extremis to ensure expenditures remain affordable.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025** 

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** 

The Trust's objective is to support the education purposes of the College. It fulfils this function through two main streams of activity; raising, managing and disbursing funds to support various activities at the College and developing and implementing an approach to student support bursaries. These activities are performed in close collaboration with the College's Development Office, which provides administrative support to the Trust. 

## **KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL REMUNERATION** 

The trustees consider the Director of Development, Communication & Alumni Relations and her team the key management personnel of the Trust in charge of directing and controlling the Trust and running and operating the Trust on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year and no expenses were reimbursed to them. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chairman and in accordance with the Trust’s policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. 

The trustees of the charity during the year and subsequently appointed were as follows: 

G Proudfoot A Skipper K Siddique O Cox G Paterson S Shah D Marks A Hofmaier R Norris (Resigned 4[th] November 2025) 

College fellow trustees: 

Dr A I Grant (Resigned 2 March 2026) Professor N P Yeung Dr A G Bell D Land (Appointed 2 March 2026) 

During the year the trustees made charitable donations of £5,000 (2024: £4,000) to the Trust. 

## **RELATED PARTIES** 

The College is a related party of the Trust.  The Finance & Investment Bursar of the College is a trustee of the Trust as are two Fellows of the College.  In addition, the Master and the Director (D,C&AR) are invited to attend meetings of the Trust.

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 judgments 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; 

- 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions, 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 charity’s constitution. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF UNIV. OLD MEMBERS’ TRUST** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of UNIV. Old Members’ Trust for the year ended 31 July 2025 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 July 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; 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 Auditor’s 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 contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

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 

Page 7 



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 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 6, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 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 an auditor’s report 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. 

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below. 

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 auditor’s report. 

Page 8 



## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), and tax regulations. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. 

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be necessary to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of donation and legacy income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included sample testing on income, enquiries of management, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. 

In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **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 auditor’s 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.

**PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ASSESSMENT OF GOING CONCERN** 

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 have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on the 16 June 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

With respect to the next reporting period, 2025-26 and beyond for at least 12 months from the signing of this report, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Trust are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets (see the investment policy and performance and risk management sections of the trustees’ annual report for more information).  The Trust has cash resources and has no further requirement for external funding in excess of current facilities. The Trustees have a high expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements. 

## **INCOME** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Donations, are recognised when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment manager of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio. 

## **GRANTS PAYABLE** 

Grants are included in the accounts only when an unconditional commitment exists. 

## **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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued

## **UNIV. OLD MEMBERS’ TRUST** 

## **PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Trust. Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. 

## Allocation of support and governance costs: 

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs. Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been allocated to general funds. 

Costs of raising funds: 

The costs of generating funds consist of investment management costs and certain legal fees. 

Charitable activities: 

Costs of charitable activities include grants made, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 3. 

## **INVESTMENTS** 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted mid-market price. Unlisted investment funds are valued on a net asset basis as determined by the administrators while other unlisted securities are valued on price or a net asset basis as supplied by a recognised vendor. Investment gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. Movements in market value are apportioned between restricted and unrestricted funds based on the percentage of the total Trust Fund held by each fund. 

The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors. 

## **FUND ACCOUNTING** 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes laid down by the donor.  Expenditure for these purposes is charged to each fund at the trustees' discretion. 

General funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for expenditure on the general objectives of the charity. 

Income from investments, interest on bank balances held by the fund managers and gains/losses on investments are apportioned across restricted and general funds based on the percentage of the total held by each fund.  Interest income on bank balances not held by the fund manager is credited to general funds.

**PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks, with investment managers and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less and money market funds. 

## **FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** 

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
