The Trustees present their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (revised January 2015).

Constitution and objects

The Aubrey Orchard-Lisle Charitable Trust is constituted under a deed dated 24 November 1987, as varied by a deed of appointment dated 29 November 2012 whereby the trustees of the Orchard-Lisle Chelsea Settlement irrevocably appointed to narrow the class of beneficiaries of the Settlement to those of a purely charitable nature, thereby altering the nature of the trust from private to charitable. The Charity Commission recognised this change in registering the trust as registered charity from this date under reference number 1151335.

The objects of the charity are to support West Buckland School and such other charities in the education and health sectors as the trustees agree. The provision of financial support for well-motivated young people who need help to complete their studies is given priority. Charities seeking more general support are required to demonstrate the direct measurable gain that any grant may make.

THE AUBREY ORCHARD-LISLE CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT

Organisation

The power to appoint new Trustees rests collectively with the Trustees. Trustees are selected for their expertise and experience. New Trustees receive copies of the governing document and details of the administrative procedures, history and policies of the charity. In addition, all new Trustees are given guidance material published by the Charity Commission on the responsibilities of being a trustee. The Trustees are kept informed about the Trust and relevant developments in the charity sector when appropriate.

Grant making policy

The Trustees welcome applications for grants from charities registered and based in the United Kingdom. Minor donations (of less than £1,000) are dealt with ad hoc under delegated powers. More substantial requests are reviewed and determined by the Trustees as a body at meetings held every 6 months. The Trustees particularly look to support charities helping to deliver education and health care. Charitable work outside the United Kingdom will not be supported.

Conflicts of interest policy

The Trustees' have a system in place to identify any conflicts of interests that may occur. When a conflict of interest arises, the relevant Trustee or Trustees' agree to withdraw from any discussion and decision.

Investment policy and review

The trustees policy is that the charity's assets should be fully invested. To that end, they employ discretionary investment managers. The manager's remit is to design a medium risk portfolio that protects the real value of the capital and at the same time delivers a total return ahead of an agreed benchmark.

The returns from the Charity's investments were broadly in line with the adopted benchmark. The Trustees actively monitor the work of the Investment manager and are content that they understand the reason for the historic performance levels. They believe that an appropriate investment strategy is in place for the medium to long term.

Financial review

All funds are unrestricted. It is intended that the investment portfolio will generate income which will be used towards satisfying the grant making policy in accordance with the objects of the charity.

As at 5 April 2024 the capital fund stood at £2,978,156 (2023: £2,886,188).

Total income in the period was £104,364 (2023: £102,563) and the costs were £5,930 (2023: £5,951). As at 5 April 2024 the income funds stood at £85,678 (2023: £73,184).

The Financial statements show investments at market value. The unrealised and realised gains and losses on the revaluation and disposal of investment assets for the year was a net profit of £106,415 (2023: loss £183,216).

Reserves policy

The Trustees normally expect to distribute each year's dividend receipts fully. Generally the capital of the fund will not be distributed.

Going concern

The Board of Trustees is of the opinion that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties regarding the Trust's ability to do so.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE AUBREY ORCHARD-LISLE CHARITABLE TRUST

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the the accounts of Aubrey Orchard-Lisle Charitable Trust for the year ended 5 April 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The Trustees are satisfied that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts as carried out under section 44 (1) ( c) of the 2005 Act and section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the requirements of [Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts ] the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no mater has come to my attention:

THE AUBREY ORCHARD-LISLE CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

(a) Basis of preparation

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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The Aubrey Orchard-Lisle Charitable Trust meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The registered address is 10 Queen Street Place, London, EC4R 1AG.

(b)

Going Concern

The Board of Trustees is of the opinion that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties regarding the Trust's ability to do so.

Investments are included at closing mid-market value at the balance sheet date. Any gains or losses on revaluation are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Income arising from investments is accounted for when it is receivable.

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis.

Grants payable are charged in the year which the offer is conveyed to the recipient except where the grant is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attached are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions that have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment but not accrued expenditure.

Governance costs comprise costs associated with complying with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Support costs comprise management and administration costs for running the charity as an organization.

(f) 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 the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with short term maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

THE AUBREY ORCHARD-LISLE CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Accounting Policies (Continued)

(h) Estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the trustee's best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately differ from these estimates. The trustees do not consider there to be any material estimates and judgements.

(i)

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade and other debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
