THE WEINSTOCK FUND

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of The Weinstock Fund for the year ended 5 April 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 13-14 of the financial statements and comply with the charity's Trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 1st January 2019.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The charity was established, by deed of trust dated 29 November 2012, as the successor charity to the Weinstock Fund (1962) Trust which had been set up by the late Lord Weinstock in 1962, and which ceased on 12 December 2012 on the expiration of the trust period. The successor charity was created in its place to enable the trustees to continue to support a wide range of charitable causes.

The deed of charitable trust, under which The Weinstock Fund was formed, is not specific about the objects of the trust and allows the trustees absolute discretion to apply funds for general charitable purposes.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The trust deed allows the trustees to appoint additional trustees.

c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

New trustees would be supported by the experienced trustees and on induction would be provided with a copy of the previous year's accounts, a copy of the Charity Commission publication 'The Essential Trustee' and any other relevant information.

d. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The trustees aim to meet regularly to award grants, review the investment portfolio and discuss the administration of the trust. The day-to-day administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the trustees is delegated to the charity consultant.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The principal objective of the charity is to pay or apply the income of the trust to such charities or for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.

The trustees support a wide range of charitable causes, particularly in the field of The Arts, Community groups and projects, Cultural and Environmental causes, Disability groups and charities supporting people with disabilities, Educational projects, Welfare causes to include hardship alleviation, and Medical charities encompassing treatment, care and support. Only charities registered in the United Kingdom are considered.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

Objectives and activities (continued)

b. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when making grants and agreeing the distribution policy for the year.

161 grants totalling £622,899 were paid to charitable institutions during the year (2023: 194 grants totalling £755,450). Typically grants were awarded within the range of £2,000 to £5,000. 147 of the 161 grants made during the year were within this range (2023: 176 of the 194 grants were within this range). The grant allocation between the charitable sectors, as follows, was within the range set by the trustees for the period:

The Arts - 33% Community -7% Cultural/Environmental - 5% Disability - 18% Educational – 13% Hardship Alleviation -2% Medical Treatment/Care- 12% Social Welfare- 10%

In addition to the grants paid in the year the trustees may also commit to supporting charitable causes for a number of years. For example, during the period covered by these accounts a three-year grant totalling £9,000 was awarded to a charity researching the effects of brain injuries in young children. £3,000 was paid in the period covered by these accounts with a further £3,000 to be paid in 2025 and 2026.

c. Plans for future periods

The trustees aim to continue to support as many charities as possible that meet the criteria set out in their grant making policy, the details of which can be found at:

https://www.weinstockfund.org.uk/guidelinesforapplicants.html

Financial review

a. Overview

The Foundation funds the grants it makes to charities from investment income with any shortfall being met from the proceeds of investment sales.

The trustees have charitable commitments before discount for 2024/25 of £296,815 and £34,000 for 2025/26.

b. Reserves policy

The trustees aim to maintain a reserve fund, including cash, at a level equating to at least one year’s normal charitable expenditure in order to meet any short-term variances in cash flow. This enables the trustees to respond to grant applications and to cover support and governance costs.

Page 3

THE WEINSTOCK FUND

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

c. Investment policy and performance

There are no restrictions on the charity’s powers to invest. The investment strategy is set by the trustees and takes account of the demand for funds and the quality of the funding applications.

The trustees consider the income requirements, the risk profile and the investment managers' views of the market prospects in the medium term.

This strategy is set within an overall policy which states that the funds be invested in medium risk investments.

The income from the investment portfolio for the year ended 5 April 2024 was £603,999 which represented a return of 3.50% on the original value of the investments (being the market value of the investments transferred into trust on 12 December 2012) and any subsequent acquisitions (2023: income of £483,836 representing a return of 3.27%). Interest on cash deposits was £5,975 (2023: £1,177).

The trustees aim annually to achieve an above average return on their investments. The total return on their investments, before fees, for the year ended 5 April 2024 was 2.17% against a year-on-year target return (capital growth with dividends and yield reinvested) of 4% per annum. The MSCI PIMFA Balanced Index (peer group) showed an increase over the same period of 2.95%. (2023: decrease of 0.9%).

d. Factors relevant to achieve objectives

The continuing volatility of the stock market over the last few years has made the management of the investments particularly difficult. The trustees, on professional advice from their investment advisors, are of the view that the current mix of equities, global funds and cash is appropriate to their investment policy and attitude towards risk.

e. Risk management

The trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed. These fall into two main categories: protection of assets and income and the integrity of the grant making process. Having carried out their annual review of these risks, the trustees remain confident that they have the systems and procedures in place to mitigate the risks as far as possible.

f. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future despite the current uncertain outlook. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The 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 state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 and 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. 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.

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:

• so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and

• that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information.

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WEINSTOCK FUND

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Weinstock Fund (the 'charity') for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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, 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 5 April 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 Auditors' 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WEINSTOCK FUND (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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 course of 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; 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, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.

THE WEINSTOCK FUND

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WEINSTOCK FUND (CONTINUED)

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 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 Auditors' 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

• Enquiring of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claim;

• Reviewing board meeting minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

• Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.

The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Page 8

THE WEINSTOCK FUND

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WEINSTOCK FUND (CONTINUED)

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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 Auditors' report.

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 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 charity and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE WEINSTOCK FUND

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Weinstock Fund meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Going concern

The Trustees are confident that the charity has adequate reserves and resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future and is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

The charity does not have restricted funds.

1.4 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.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

THE WEINSTOCK FUND

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised as the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation.

Grant commitments are recognised as liabilities in the balance sheet and charged to the Statement of Financial Activities when the commitment to make the grant is communicated to the recipient. Grants due in more than one year are discounted to present value. The discount rate used is determined using the charity's average income yield on investments.

1.9 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
