## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022**_ 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Deed of Settlement, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The trust's objectives are to support independent charities and individuals in relation to the reduction of poverty and hardship, and the improvement of education. Grants will mainly be administered in the United Kingdom and Southern Africa. 

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance on Public Benefit issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the trust should undertake. 

The trust does not adopt a rigid approach in terms of the criteria for its grant making. Grants are awarded as the trustees see fit, to enable the furtherance of the trust's objectives. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The trust has succeeded in accumulating funds and during the year grants of £749,994 (2021: £581,398) were granted. The Trust aims to give 33% of grants for the reduction of poverty and hardship and 67% for the improvement of education. 

The Trust has made the following major donations in the year: 

Tayntons (United Kingdom) £101,092 (2021: £80,107) - Brenley has an arrangement with Tayntons to support and fund children to obtain the special needs documentation so that local councils fund the specific educational needs of each child on the program. This project is expected to continue over the next decade. 

Stellenbosch University (South Africa) £90,008 (2021: £53,099) - Brenley has an arrangement with the donor department at the university for funding degrees in finance, law, engineering and medicine. This project is expected to continue over the next decade. 

Church of the Holy Spirit (South Africa) £60,348 paid out of a total commitment of £250,000 (2021: £0) - Brenley is matching payments from a local community in Cape Town that is building a church & community centre. This project will be completed in our next financial year. 

Most of the donations made are less than £10,000 per annum to fund individuals education at university. The total of grants made which are under £10,000 make up 24% of the total grants given. Students are required to provide proof of passing each year before they will be granted funds for the following year. 

Substantially all the assets of the foundation are managed professionally by Anthos Fund & Asset Management. The Board of Trustees have agreed an investment policy with Anthos, the essence of which is to adopt a medium to high risk strategy which seeks as a minimum to preserve, in real terms, the value of the portfolio and to generate an income consistent with our grant making aims. The Trustees regularly review their investment strategy and policy.  At 31 January 2022 £12,331,456 (2021: £11,680,702) was held as part of the investment portfolio. 

## **Financial review** 

The total incoming resources for the year amounted to £76,401 (2021: £92,915) of which £63,545 (2021: £24,607) were donations made to the trust. Grants of £749,994 (2021: £581,398) were awarded in line with the trust's charitable objectives. A gain of £1,137,898 (2021: Loss of £52,767) were made on the disposal and revaluation of investments. The other costs included governance costs of £9,199 (2021: £10,503) and costs of raising funds of £Nil (2021: £4,417), resulting in free reserves of £12,249,374 (2021: £11,794,268).

## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022**_ 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is the policy of the trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level to ensure the trust meets all its support costs and future grant payments from reserves. The invested assets of £12 million are in effect, a financial reserve. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the trust’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the trust is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The potential volatility of the stock market is the trust's most significant risk. 

The Trustees have considered the effect of the prolonged Covid-19 outbreak that has been spreading throughout the world since 2020 and the effect it may have on the charity's activities. The Trustees have planned to take reasonable steps to mitigate against this situation and consider that this outbreak is unlikely to cause a significant disruption to the charity's business and that the charity can continue in operation for the foreseeable future. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The trust will continue to identify organisations and individuals, and administer grants regularly. Whilst there is an emphasis on assisting those organisations working to reduce poverty and improve education the trustees will award grants to any organisation or individual they deem appropriate. 

The trust will continue to make grants of a similar nature and size to the existing grants. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity was established by a charitable trust deed on 23 February 2013. 

The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Patrick Riley Marie-Louise Brenninkmeyer Robbert Zoet 

Trustees are recruited via invitation from existing Trustees. New Trustees are appointed by majority vote of the board of trustees. 

The trust does not have employees and is managed by the Trustees. 

A resolution to reappoint HW Fisher LLP as auditors will be put to the Annual General Meeting. 

The Trustees' Report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022**_ 

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 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 trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the trust for that year. 

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 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 operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust 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 trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Brenley Trust (the ‘trust’) for the year ended 31 January 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including 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 31 January 2022 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 _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the trust 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 trust’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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's 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 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 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees 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 trust’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 cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor's 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 auditor's 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. 

As part of our planning process: 

- We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud.  The charity did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company. We determined that the following were most relevant: the Charity SORP, FRS 102, Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006. 

- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly. 

- Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment. 

The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included: 

- Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual. 

- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied. 

- Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations. 

- Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank and investment balances. 

- Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions. 

- Reviewing documentation such as the charity board minutes, for discussions of irregularities including fraud. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the trustees of the charity. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **Other matters** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (as amended) 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 now been withdrawn. 

This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

## **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 the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Brenley Trust is a Public Benefit Entity whose main activity is that of making grants to charitable causes aimed at relieving child poverty in the UK and South Africa. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Deed of Settlement,  the Charities Act 2011 and "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 trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Gifts of shares are recognised at the market value of the shares at the date gifted. Investment income is shown net of investment management costs charged directly to the Trust. Indirect charges and commission relating to the professional management of the investments are incorporated within the acquisition and disposal costs of investments. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received by the investment manager of the investment portfolio. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis, inclusive of value added tax. 

Expenditure relating to charitable activities are those elements of expenditure directly incurred in performing these activities. 

- 10 - 



## **THE BRENLEY TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one year or multi-year grant. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled conditions attaching to that grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make the grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. 

A provision for a multi-year grant is recognised on the cash basis. As the grants are made conditionally on educational progress and can be withdrawn at any time, grantees only receive further instalments if they adequately fulfil their grant objectives. On this basis, there is no obligation to pay multi-year grants and so no need to disclose in the accounts. 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in managing the Trust's investment portfolio. 

## **1.6 Financial instruments** 

The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Other than investments, the charity only holds basic financial instruments stated at cost. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **1.7 Investments** 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022**_ 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the trust’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. The Trustees do not believe there to be any judgements or estimates that would be considered critical to the financial statements.
