Registered Charity number: 1147575

Trustees:

Mrs Marie Charlotte Griffiths Mr John Calvert Griffiths KC CMG Mrs Jemima Jane Waller Mr Alastair John Calvert Collett

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022 (cont.)

Investment Policy and Performance

In recognition of the value of expert advice, the Trustees have delegated the management of their investment portfolio to Charles Stanley & Co with the stated objective of achieving a reasonable longterm overall return subject to a medium approach to risk.

The investment portfolio showed an increase in market value over the year, with unrealised gains of £66,771 (2021: unrealised gains of £369,610). Disposals were made during the year which resulted in realised losses of £1,183 (2021: realised gains of £75,877). The trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 pandemic continues to have on the investment portfolio.

Financial Review and Reserves Policy

As far as reserves are concerned, the charity is dependent on the investment portfolio described above for its regular income. The Trustees consider grant-making on the basis of the income received after allowing for normal administrative expenses. The Trustees do not enter into commitments that exceed the cash currently available to them.

As explained in Note 2 to the accounts, the Trustees hold an investment portfolio for income generation and as a reserve should they feel the need to make donations in excess of their available income.

For practical purposes, the Trustees regard the Income Fund as the reserve and this stood at £132,884 at 5 April 2022 (2021: £91,321).

During this year, the market value of the funds invested with Charles Stanley & Co has shown a decrease of £7,494. The income arising on these investments was sufficient to cover the grants committed and paid in the year.

The Trustees consider the impact of COVID-19 on the value of the portfolio and investment income will be short term and confirm the portfolio is invested in the long term, over a 10 year time horizon. The Trustees are satisfied there will be no long term impact on the going concern of the charity.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Charity was created by Will following the death of the Mrs Morag Buchanan Young on 18 July 2011 and has been registered with the Charity Commission under number 1147575. The Charity is the sole residuary beneficiary of Mrs Young's estate.

There shall be at least three Trustees and future Trustees shall be appointed by resolution of the Trustees.

The Trustees have wide powers of investment.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022 (cont.)

Risk Management

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks. In particular, as mentioned above, the Trustees do not enter into commitments in excess of their available cash resources and as a result they operate in a very low risk environment. Any drop in income received will be matched by an appropriate reduction in expenditure.

Report on Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the general guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. The activities of the charity are carried out for the public benefit as the grants awarded support the advancement of education (including research into cancer).

Responsibilities of the Trustees

Law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. 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.

Signed on behalf of the trustees:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES IN RESPECT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Pearson-Young Memorial Trust for the year ended 5 April 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 10.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
