FIELDSDENE TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 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
Fieldsdene Trust supports evangelical Christian charities and affiliated workers through regular grants to existing beneficiaries, together with occasional one-off grants. The Trust has a particular interest in Wales without being limited to Wales.
Grant making policy
The trustees allocate two thirds of income for grants by monthly standing orders. The majority are for the support of people who have dedicated themselves to Christian service in association with a UK charity. Regular grants for the support of named people are only made when one or more of the trustees believe from their knowledge and experience that the objectives of the trust are being met.
Other standing orders are to advance the Christian faith through student or graduate ministry, scripture distribution, education and training. The organisations involved are also known to one or more of the trustees.
One third of income is available for one-off grants. The same criteria are applied as for regular grants. These grants are decided at trustee meetings held three times a year.
Public benefit
The trustees of Fieldsdene Trust can confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Investment performance
At the 30 September 2022 the combined cost of investments was £3,591,517 and was valued at £5,041,486.
CCLA Fund Managers Limited were the investment managers throughout the current and prior year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The financial results are shown in the following pages. Total income for the year was £155,258 (2021 - £153,464) and total expenditure was £159,445 (2021 - £135,964).
The net loss on investments in the year was £374,230 (2021 - gain of £554,028).
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees seek a spread of investments yielding long term real growth in capital and medium term real growth in income.
The trustees accept that the objectives of the growing capital and income imply a degree of risk in the investment portfolio. Since the grant policy of the trustees is out of trust income the short to medium term capital value of the portfolio may fluctuate.
The trustees choose to avoid investments that would be deemed to be inimical to the main object of the trust.
Reserves policy
The trustees seek to maintain a balance on deposit with the Investment Managers of at least 4 months regular donations to ensure that commitments can be met should contingencies occur. After providing for the required reserves, the trustees aim to ensure that expenditure approximates to the standard income of the charity.
At 30 September 2022 the charity's total funds amounted to £5,112,993. All of the funds of the charity are unrestricted. Of this, £5,041,486 relates to fixed asset investments, leaving free reserves of £71,507. The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves held.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Fieldsdene Trust is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The principal address is Highfields, Llantrisant, Pontyclun, CF72 8AU. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are disclosed within the Report of the Trustees.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn. This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
There have been no material departures from Financial Reporting Standard 102.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as demonstrated within the Report of the Trustees.
Going concern
No material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue as a going concern exist.
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.
This includes capital grants.
Donations and legacies income includes donations, gifts and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifies it must be used in future accounting periods or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
It is not the policy of the charity to show income net of expenditure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature to support them.
Support costs are those costs that, whilst necessary to deliver an activity, do not themselves produce or constitute the output of the charitable activity. This includes governance costs which are those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountancy fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Expenditure includes VAT as the charity is not VAT registered.
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.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Investments
Investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised and unrealised gains or losses on investments are shown separately on the face of the statement of financial activities.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Basis of recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation which commits the charity to the expenditure.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
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.

All representations are made to the best of our knowledge and belief.
General
-
We acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and that you do not express an audit opinion.
-
We confirm that the charity was entitled to exemption under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 the requirement to have its financial statements for the financial year ended 30 September 2022 audited.
-
We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees as set out in the terms of your engagement letter dated 28 November 2018, for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you.
-
All the transactions undertaken by the charity have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records.
-
All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination. We have provided you with unrestricted access to all appropriate persons within the charity, and with all other records and related information requested, including minutes of all management and trustee meetings and correspondence with The Charity Commission.
-
The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions.
Assets and liabilities
-
The charity has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the charity’s assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
-
All actual liabilities, contingent liabilities and guarantees given to third parties have been recorded or disclosed as appropriate.
-
We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value and, where relevant, the fair value measurements or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements.

Legal claims
- We have disclosed to you all claims in connection with litigation that have been, or are expected to be, received and such matters, as appropriate, have been properly accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements.

Subsequent events
- All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed.
Going concern

We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.
