The Harry & Mary Foundation

Chairman's Report for the year ended 31 March 2024

The year ending on March the 31st 2024 proved to be another busy and diverse one for the Foundation. The trustees' report detailed the strenuous ongoing efforts by the trustees to secure the financial bedrock of the Foundation. One must never be complacent because macroeconomic and global forces are beyond our control, but there is a realistic sense that the footings of the Foundation are increasingly solid.

Whatever lies ahead, the Foundation is continuing to position itself financially to thrive, whatever the outside world throws at it.

Donations for the year declined marginally from £601,229 in 2023 to £591,000 in 2024, a decrease of approximately 1.5%. The numbers are a little deceptive because early in the present year, £269,449 was donated to two charities. In both cases, the groundwork for these donations straddled the year's end and could have fallen on either side of March the 31st. The trustees could have rushed them through but were conscious of their duty to scrutinise carefully all requests.

The lion's share of the £269,449 was a three-year agreement with the Marie Curie Hospice in Leeds Road Bradford. Alongside Manorlands Hospice at Oxenhope, Marie Curie was one of the first recipients of our funds 12 years ago when the Foundation started. The trustees always strive to build long-term and lasting relationships with charities. We were delighted to renew our support for Marie Curie, having visited the hospice in February and been awe-struck at the work done, both within and without its walls.

The other, smaller project was a gift of £12,000 to the Yorkshire Film Archives to enable them to design resources aimed at people with dementia, using historic film from its extensive archives. Dementia is a growing problem in our society, not least because people are living longer and the strain it places on carers. We have supported the Memory Tree for several years, who run several dementia groups across Bradford. This year trustees were asked whether we would mind if some of our donation might be used to introduce Tai Chi sessions. Evidence shows that Tai Chi enhances cognitive function and physical well-being among dementia patients and informal carers, including improving short-term memory, especially for those people at the early onset stage. An excellent example of the resourcefulness and flexibility of the many charities operating in our area.

The trustees had also been keeping a significant amount of money aside for a project that kept getting deferred and took the prudent decision to withdraw the offer at the end of this financial year to free up funds for more immediate needs. Pledging funds for future projects or matching funds is always a delicate decision and can be frustrating as the project finds itself bogged down in a quagmire of bureaucracy, outside its control.

The Foundation was pleased to support the Young Creatives scheme for the 2025 Bradford City of Culture over three years and equally pleased that it prompted another foundation to pledge its support. An example of someone having confidence in Bradford's future makes others feel they can also make a difference.

At the start of this report, I mentioned that in addition to Marie Curie, Manorlands Hospice at Oxenhope was one of the original recipients. In June 2024, Manorlands celebrated its 50th birthday with an afternoon tea and presentation. We are delighted to be supporting its work in the community, with an ongoing financial commitment and very impressed by the superb services provided by the hospice for the residents of the Aire Valley and north Bradford, in particular.

Amongst other happy visits undertaken during the year was to St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds for the opening of a building in its grounds for the exclusive use of children. Another memorable visit was to the Bradford Royal Infirmary to witness the unveiling of a new cone beam scanner to assist the Ear Trust to see right into the ear of patients with hearing difficulties and thus allow Professor Raine and his team to perform their scientific miracles.

We were also delighted to continue to support MacMillan Nurses for their valuable community work. A cancer diagnosis can knock people and their loved ones for six and leave them feeling isolated and helpless. The work of MacMillan in assuaging this pain is invaluable.

Chairman's Report

for the year ended 31 March 2024

I counted 39 recipients on our list of donations for the year, many receiving smaller donations of a couple of thousand pounds. As trustees, we have unashamedly, continued to become more focused on Bradford and its immediate district so as not to spread our resources too thinly. The number of requests received continues to grow, we can not please everyone, however frustrating that might be. Our preference is dealing with charities rooted in the area and building up long-term relationships with them, although we are aware that some provide services for Bradfordians whilst being situated outside the city.

I am writing this report on the 10th of September, the 7th anniversary of my father's death in 2017. The trustees report mentioned the imminent finalisation of my late mother's estate, who passed away in 2020. The trustees remain very conscious of their legacy in the form of the Foundation, particularly given their longstanding personal and professional relationship with Harry and Mary.

I'll finish by thanking my fellow trustees for their ongoing hard work and commitment to the Foundation, and for sharing their considerable experience and expertise.

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).

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

As reported last year, following the death of Mrs Mary Clough on the 27th July 2020, The Foundation was named as a major beneficiary. To date the Foundation has received a number of instalments of her generous legacy amounting to £4,459,351 including £50,452 during the current year. These have been recorded in the Foundation's Income and Expenditure for the appropriate year and similarly reflected on the appropriate Balance Sheets.

It is anticipated that Mrs Clough's Estate will be finalised during the next twelve months and although there are no precise figures available at the present time, it is estimated that further, final, receipts will amount to £10,000.

During the current year the Foundation received a covenanted payment from Blenheim House Properties (Bradford) Limited covering the accounting period ended 31st March 2023 amounting to £522,308. Nothing was due or received from Holmfirth Properties Limited for the same period.

The covenanted payments for the current year ended 31st March 2024 amount to £76,444 from Blenheim House Properties (Bradford) Limited and £82,967 from Holmfirth Properties Limited and will be received by The Foundation prior to the 31st December 2024.

On an annual basis The Trustees give full consideration to the risks which might be associated with the ownership of the property company shares. For the current year The Trustees have concluded that since both companies are registered with limited liability, the financial risks to the Charity continue to be minimal.

However, there is the slight risk that any mismanagement of the properties owned by the companies and/or the maltreatment of the tenants, particularly in these troubled times, could result in adverse publicity for the Foundation, and all steps are taken to work with, and consult regularly with tenants at all levels.

During the year under review the strengthened management of the property companies has enabled us to continue with the improvement of the overall condition of the property portfolio.

The Foundation has never received, nor sought to receive, donations from the general public, or from the public purse.

When the Trustees reviewed any possible reputational damage to which The Foundation might be subjected, they concluded that any adverse reaction would, in all probability, be limited to the Charity's relationship with possible recipients of grants, who might feel unable to accept grants 'in the pipeline'. On review, The Trustees continue to believe this risk to be so remote as to be non-existent.

The Trustees have resumed meeting at Mercury Quays on a regular basis, and continued to meet online where more appropriate, to receive updated reports from the property managers, and carry on with the day to day running of The Foundation.

Rent reviews, and their related negotiations, have proved to be very difficult, and have resulted in some further rent reductions.

Overall, rent arrears have been kept to a minimum and that, where they have occurred, these have been dealt with sympathetically, such that all tenants remain in occupation as they were at the beginning of the year.

On an optimistic note, we are pleased to report that, at the present, only two properties are untenanted. Both are currently undergoing improvement works.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Grant making policy

The charity has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit. The charity's main aim is to improve the lives and wellbeing of young people and the local community in general. We review the grant policy making annually to ensure it reflects the charity's objects, and thereby advances public benefit.

The trust invites applications for grants from organisations working within the local community. These applications are reviewed to ensure they fall within the charity's objectives.

Generally, there are two types of grant payments. The first is for operating expenses of local organisations, and the second is for project-based activities in the community.

Monitoring achievements

The trustees regularly meet with the organisations involved in the project work, meeting key workers and beneficiaries to discuss how the projects are enabling workers to carry out their jobs, and the impact this work has on the beneficiaries and the local community.

Our key performance indicators are:

2024 2023
Grants made £591,000 £601,229
Investment Income £93,893 £91,660
Donations from subsidiaries £522,308 £412,337

In the case of Sue Ryder, the donation has enabled them to continue with their committed project, and in the case Macmillan, to commit to their new project.

The donation to Bradford 2025 is essentially part of the year of Culture and part of a project to promote and support Young Creatives, both before, and for the two years after, Bradford's Year as the City of Culture.

The undertaking which the Trustees entered in with One in a Million (Sports) Limited in October 2021 was formally withdrawn during the year. Unfortunately, after the demolition of the subject property, the prospect of a new build proved to be too costly to continue

The Foundation has renewed monthly funding for a further year to each of the Bradford Food Bank, Bradford Nightstop, Emerge and One in a Million, to enable them to continue their increasingly necessary work within the local Community.

Shortly after the year end, delayed for various administrative reasons, commitments to Marie Curie Bradford and Yorkshire Film Archives, totalling £269,449 were confirmed and Gift Agreements entered into.

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Financial position

During the year, the net funds from before gains and loss on investments was £386,011 (2023; £47,643 negative) after charitable costs £722,004 (2023; £680,422).

Grants made or committed during the year totalled £591,000, an decrease of £10,229 from 2023.

Investment policy and objectives

The Trustees investment criteria is primarily to preserve the purchasing power of the capital of the funds and, to a lesser extent, the generation of income.

The Trustees have the power to accumulate income, and within the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Trust, the discretion as to whom and how much is distributed.

The instructions passed to the Investment Managers specifically include the Trustees criteria, as above, and emphasise the Trustees wish that the Investment Managers do their utmost to protect and enhance the value of the assets, to maintain the purchasing power of the funds, considering the effects of inflation using the published UK CPI rate and management fees.

The performance of the Investment Managers will be judged over a three-year period.

The first full review of the Investment Managers performance was carried out on the 16 September 2021. The comparison levels of all the performance indicators were either achieved, or exceeded, for the period under review. Brewin Dolphin were thanked, and the continuation of their services was confirmed.

The performance of Brewin Dolphin was subjected to review after the most recent upheavals in the stock market.

The Trustees are satisfied that they are receiving good service and advice representing value for money, and that the overall results are above the markets medians.

Reserves policy

All charities are required to consider how much money they need to hold in reserves. The extent varies depending on the scale and nature of the charities activities.

The charity has a strong reserve position. Income was in line with expectations, which has enabled the charity to put together a schedule of donations to support local hospices over the next few years.

The charity will retain the investments in the charity at market value as its reserves.

The Trustees review this policy annually.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Future plans

The Harry & Mary Foundation is a lasting testimony to the generosity and charitable concerns of the donors, Harry and Mary Clough. The core of the trustees' approach, being education and promotion of good health and wellbeing in the Bradford district through its program of donations to organisations working towards these goals.

We continue to work with our key partners with whom we promote our shared interests in the aims and the objective of the charity.

In the recent past, and for the future the Trustees have and will continue to concentrate their efforts on the strengthening of ties with a limited number of local charities where continuing and increasing funding has proved to make the most impact and be most beneficial - in the distressed areas of Bradford and the West Riding.

In addition, the Trustees will continue to support national charities where their local presence promotes the quality of life and the wellbeing of residents within the local community.

Through the Foundation's current projects, the Trustees have continued to promote the Objectives and Aims on which the Charity was founded.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Charity is controlled by its governing document, a trust deed, and is established as a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Any new trustees who are appointed by the existing trustees would be expected to respect the ethos of the Trust to continue the charitable work of the donors.

Organisational structure

The charity has two wholly owned subsidiaries made up of Blenheim House Properties (Bradford) Limited and Holmfirth Properties Limited.

Decision making

At the monthly trustee's meetings, the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Charity, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance.

Induction and training of new trustees

New trustees undergo an induction meeting to brief them on: their legal obligations under the charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and inform them of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committed and the decision making process, the business plan and the recent financial performance of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Key management remuneration

The trustees consider the board of trustees as comprising; the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give over their time freely, and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year for services as a trustee. However, remuneration was paid to Mr Walker's service company specifically for his services as Accounts Manager and General Administrator.

During the year Mr Clough and Mr Bastow reviewed the Foundation's six-monthly rolling contract with Mr Walker, in advance of its anniversary on the 31 March 2024. It continued to be clear to both, that the Foundation would be unable to function properly without Mr Walker's additional help on a daily basis.

It was resolved by Mr Clough and Mr Bastow following their annual review, that the new 'six monthly rolling contract' be renewed and continued at £7,500 per annum, effective from the 1 April 2024, and that this undoubtedly continued to represent good value for money.

It was confirmed, as set out in The Charity Commission guidelines, that Mr Walker had not been involved in any discussions or decisions relating to this contract.

It was agreed by Mr Clough and Mr Bastow that Mr Walker be invited to continue as a Trustee, but with voting rights restricted to those issues not relating to his paid services.

It was recorded that Mr Walker's service company had been paid £7,500 during the year to 31 March 2024 for services other than those as a Trustee.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Harry & Mary Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Harry & Mary Foundation

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Harry & Mary Foundation (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company'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. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 13

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Harry & Mary Foundation

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 14

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Harry & Mary Foundation

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Harry & Mary Foundation

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 March 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements contain information about The Harry & Mary Foundation as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

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.

Donations are shown as income on receipt, unless there is earlier evidence of entitlement, and the amount can be measured reliably. Legacy income is recognised when there is legal entitlement (from the date of probate or from receipt if earlier) receipt is probable (there are no material uncertainties on the estate) and the amount can be measured reliably.

Investment income is recognised on an accrual's basis.

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.

Costs of raising funds, include all property trading activities and the cost of managing the investment portfolios.

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.

Investment property

Investment properties are shown at their most recent valuation. Any surplus or deficit arising from changes in their fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA).

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Investments

Investments are valued at their fair value if they can be measured reliably, at cost less impairment for all other investments. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are recognised in the SOFA.

Debtors and prepayments

for the year ended 31 March 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investments

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discount due.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to be settled, the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provision are recognised at their settlement value after allowing for any discount due.

Financial Instruments

The Charity has financial assets and 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.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In preparing these financial statements within the accounting framework set out above, the Trustees are required to adopt those accounting policies most appropriate to the Charity's circumstances, with a view to presenting fairly the Charity's financial position. In determining and applying judgements, trustees make estimates and judgements, and the matters set out below are considered to be the most important in understanding the judgements that have been involved in preparing the Financial Statements and the uncertainties that could impact the amounts reported.

a) Fair value of investment properties

FRS102 requires that investment properties are held at fair value. In determining the fair value of the investment properties, trustees have relied on valuation provided by professional qualified advisors as described in note 13.

b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The trustees have reviewed the key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date and do not consider there to be a significant risk of causing a material misstatement in the carrying value of the assets and liabilities in the next financial year.
