THE BRAITHWAITE FAMILY FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

The charity's aims are aligned to the objects. Although not limited to these areas, these are some examples of the aims that have been focused on in the reporting year and which are also a priority in the year ahead:

1. Helping young people with their development, health and education, both formal and informal, particularly with a view of helping them transfer into the working world.

2. Research and preventative health initiatives in areas consistent with the charity’s objectives.

3. Support to the arts in areas consistent with the charity’s objectives.

4. Helping with the conservation of endangered animal species.

During the reporting year the charity's trustees specifically wanted to support specific initiatives concerning at least four of the charity's aims.

The charity made donations of:

1. £60,016 to the University of Surrey in further support of scholarships and research. In combination with other substantial donors, the charity has also committed (in three annual tranches) to support the Professor of Vaccinology chair, supporting staff and research.

2. £31,820 to The Duke of Edinburgh International Award Foundation. The award is available to all 14 to 24-year-olds and is the world's leading young person's achievement award scheme. The charity is choosing to support the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award activities internationally and has committed to a further three year period (2024, 2025 & 2026).

3. £10,000 to support West Green House Opera, in particular to help aspiring young opera singers make a start in their careers.

4. £5,000 to The Young Vic Company, supporting a vibrant, community-based theatre in London.

5. £1,250 to support the North-East STEM Foundation (NESF). NESF provides grants for STEM related education across the North East of England.

The main activity of the charity is to apply its income in furtherance of its objects (see objects and activities). This is achieved by making grants and donations to individuals and organisations, providing finance and sponsoring or undertaking research. Specifically, the trustees wish to prioritise their support towards the eight priorities summarised under Objects and Aims above.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

THE BRAITHWAITE FAMILY FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

The framework for making decisions has always been and will continue to be to check back to the objects of the charity and also to the aims. Also due consideration is given to the financial status of the charity.

The charity has not engaged any volunteers in the reporting year.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The trustees have discussed broad financial objectives. The following decisions were reinforced:

1. The trustees agreed to adopt an approach to retain a financial reserve that preserved the total capital in the charity at a specific level, targeted at £1,000,000.

2. It was further agreed that donations will be at around or under £100,000 per annum for the foreseeable future.

3. Finally, it was agreed that the investment performance should be benchmarked against comparable portfolios. During the reporting year, the investment performance was strong at +11.7%.

There have been no specific measures or indicators developed in the reporting year. Investment performance is reported by Coutts & Co bank and reviewed by the trustees. There is a significant amount of informal discussion amongst trustees and minutes are taken when possible, at trustee meetings.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the reporting year, there were no further donations to the charity.

During the year the charity made donations totalling £108,086 (2023: £99,873) to causes in line with the charity's objects.

Income from UK and non-UK quoted investments amounted to £37,383 (2023: £29,495) for the year. Total investment income for the year, including bank interest of £1,095 (2023: £1,051), was £38,478 (2023: £30,546). Investment management fees amounted to £7,126 (2023: £7,599) for the year.

Governance costs including accountancy fees and independent examination fees amounted to £4,814 (2023: £4,913) for the year.

Overall, the total income amounted to £38,478 (2023: £30,546) and expenditure amounted to £120,389 (2023: £112,385). During the year expenditure was close to the target agreed by the trustees. Gains on revaluation and disposal of investment assets amounted to £102,829 (2023: losses of £90,807). This resulted in net incoming resources of £20,918 (2023: net outgoing of £172,646).

At the year end the charity held unrestricted funds amounting to £1,376,745 (2023: £1,355,827).

THE BRAITHWAITE FAMILY FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

The trustees' policy is to maintain reserves above £1,000,000. The charity carries out no direct charitable activities but, at the trustees' discretion, makes a commitment from year to year to future giving therefore there is a need to retain reserves for this purpose. However, the trustees will only commit to making donations if there are sufficient funds available.

The reserves policy is a target set by the trustees which, due to the very low running costs of the charity, is far in excess of what the charity would actually need to carry on in existence should income levels decrease or cease for a period.

Donations to date have been given by Mr C J Braithwaite and Mrs L M Braithwaite. It is expected that these two funding sources will be the only ones for the foreseeable future.

The trustees appointed Coutts & Co bank to be the investment adviser to the charity and also to manage the current and business reserve accounts. Coutts & Co apply strict guidelines as to what is an acceptable investment approach for charity monies and there is no specific further guidance from the trustees. Investment objectives have been agreed as follows:

1. To invest in a "real" (after inflation) return.

2. Trustees have a long term time horizon (which is more than five years).

3. Trustees have a moderate attitude to investment risk.

4. To manage investment risk the trustees wish to have a highly diversified portfolio.

5. The trustees are comfortable to invest for a total return (income and capital growth).

6. Any investment decisions should be consistent with the guidance provided by the Charity Commission.

Regular review meetings have taken place with Coutts & Co to review investment performance.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

During the following year it is the intention of the trustees to maintain the aims and specific objectives of the charity. Specifically, it is expected that donations will be made to causes that support the eight priority areas noted under aims and objects above. However, the trustees intend to regularly evaluate these objectives and priorities.

THE BRAITHWAITE FAMILY FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Since the year-end the trustees are pleased to support the following initiatives:

1. Further support for the University of Surrey including scholarships and research. In combination with other substantial donors, the charity is also continuing to back the Professor of Vaccinology chair, supporting staff and research.

2. Continuing to support the international award section of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. The charity has committed to a further three years of support (2024, 2025 & 2026).

3. Further £10,000 support to Friends of Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC). This was the first of three annual pledges of the same amount.

4. £1,000 Support of the North-East STEM Foundation (NESF). NESF provides grants for STEM related education across the North East of England.

5. £7,000 to The Outward Bound Trust. Outward Bound is an international network of outdoor education organisations. It supports young people of all ages and backgrounds through challenging learning, expeditions and experiences.

6. A £10,000 gift to YourStance, a team of experienced doctors, nurse and clinicians teaching young people in London that are vulnerable to serious youth violence how to respond in emergencies.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Braithwaite Family Foundation is an unincorporated organisation, constituted by a trust deed dated 11 February 2011 and registered as a charity on 11 May 2011.

Over the course of the reporting year there have been no new trustees appointed to the charity. The four trustees remain as Mr C J Braithwaite (Chairman), Mrs L M Braithwaite, Mr I T Braithwaite and Mr A J Braithwaite.

The trustees do not plan to recruit or appoint new trustees in the near future. As soon as new appointments are required then suitable methods will be adopted following the guidelines of the Charity Commission.

The four trustees have all reviewed the Charity Commission's guidance to understand the role of being a trustee. When new appointments are considered, suitable methods will be adopted for their induction and training following the guidelines of the Charity Commission.

None of the trustees are remunerated for their time or contributions.

THE BRAITHWAITE FAMILY FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

The charity has four trustees, each with an equal "voting right". Trustees, especially Mr C J and Mrs L M Braithwaite, meet on an ad-hoc basis to review priorities and incoming applications to the charity and put forward ideas on causes to be considered. The applications and ideas are then assigned to each of the trustees for detailed consideration and follow up.

Over the course of the reporting year, risks to the charity have been discussed in trustee meetings and none were considered significant.

The ongoing financial market instability has not had a great effect on donation decisions.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The charity’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances, cash and investments. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

In order to maintain liquidity the trustees ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and anticipated donation levels.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with 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).

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 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 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 maintaining proper accounting records which 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 applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the trust deed. 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 annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 16 January 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

The Braithwaite Family Foundation 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 notes to these accounts.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Income

Voluntary income including donations provide core funding and are of a general nature, and are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category.

- 12 -

THE BRAITHWAITE FAMILY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 (CONTINUED)

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

These are costs incurred in raising funds, including the management of investments.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. Comprising of the costs of grants and donations made to individuals and organisations.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination, strategic management, trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 (CONTINUED)

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers and are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Foreign exchange

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date.

Exchange differences are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the period in which they arise.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

- 14 -

THE BRAITHWAITE FAMILY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 (CONTINUED)

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
