Our focus is to increase access to high quality, creative arts projects, particularly for those who experience barriers to participation. We have been able to provide long-term support to a range of charities in different areas of the arts including theatre, dance, puppetry and music. It has been very encouraging to see the impact of Didymus funding on the projects to which we have made grants, particularly on those who are most vulnerable or isolated. Our Trustees have welcomed the opportunity to visit grant recipients and to see, at first hand, how the grants are making a difference. In 2025, Didymus awarded a total of £115,027 in grants. Our Trustees have held three trustee meetings during the year, two via Zoom and another in person. Two of our Trustees, Alan and Helen Wall, resigned at the end of the year having served for ten years. We are very grateful for the enormous contribution which they have made since the foundation of Didymus. It has also been good to welcome two new Trustees, Ben Weston-Conway and Anton Ozornin, who bring new skills and experience. I would like to thank the Trustees for all their work and support during the past year including a number of visits to our grant recipients. We are also very grateful to our Grants Officer, Kathryn Kendall who has significantly helped us in our development in the past year. The Revd Dr Daphne Green Page 1 **DIDYMUS CIO** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1ST DECEMBER 2025** The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 1st December 2025. 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). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The objects of the CIO are such general charitable purposes for the benefit of the public as the charity trustees from time to time in their discretion think fit. The Didymus Capital fund was established by donation of cash and shares in 2014. The trustees have the power to spend or retain both capital and income and so the capital fund is classed as an expendable endowment. The fund's objects are to retain sufficient capital to provide an income for the CIO to make grants as they see fit. ## **Grantmaking** Didymus is a small charity which supports organisations delivering high quality, creative projects, which widen access to and participation in the arts in Greater London and Yorkshire. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Fundraising activities** ## **Grants given** During the year grants of £115,027 (2024 £92,000) were paid to beneficiaries, with new grant commitments of £89,301 being made over the next three years. ## **Grant List 2025** **----- Start of picture text -----**

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. 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. ## **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. ## **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. 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. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## **2. INVESTMENT INCOME** |Dividend income
