At the end of the year the Foundation had outstanding grant commitments of £430,887.

In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been established by the Foundation.

The Trustees believe that the Foundation meets the principles relating to charities and public benefit described in the Charity Commission guidance which this Report demonstrates.

Risk Policy

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Foundation is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The Trustees consider variability of investment returns on the permanent endowment to constitute the Foundations major financial risk.

The risk of depletion of the capital permanent endowment investment assets is addressed by the appointment of SORBUS Partners as investment advisers who report on the capital and income performance of the quoted funds and advise on investment strategy each quarter which is reviewed by the Trustees.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees (who are also directors of The Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and 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 period 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 these financial statements the Trustees are required to:

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

INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTLEY FOUNDATION

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Chartley Foundation (“the Foundation”) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 19.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charitable company’s financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

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 reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS 102).

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 financial statements to be reached.

The Chartley Foundation

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Foundation’s financial statements.

COMPANY INFORMATION

The Chartley Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office and principal activities are disclosed on pages 1 and 2 of the Trustees’ Annual Report.

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) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

The Chartley Foundation 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 note(s). The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Foundation. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

GOING CONCERN

The Trustees believe there are adequate resources which will enable the Foundation to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least a period of 12 months after the date of signing these financial statements. For this reason, the Trustees have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

INCOME

The values of all resources accruing to the Foundation are recorded in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as it is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. This is dependent on an actual receipt or enforceable right to receipt, a reasonable certainty of receipt and whether the monetary value can be sufficiently and reliably measured.

Investment income on bank deposits is accrued on a daily basis over the period in which it is earned.

EXPENDITURE

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure has been classified under the appropriate heading on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Support costs comprise all services supplied centrally, and include core overhead expenses. There are no employment costs. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the statement of financial activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly.

Governance costs are included in expenditure on charitable activities. Support costs are associated with the governance arrangements of the Foundation.

GRANT MAKING POLICY

The current policy of the Trustees is to commit available income to eligible recipients, consistent with the objects of the Foundation determined by the Trustees, whilst preserving capital values in the endowment.

11

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Chartley Foundation

FUND ACCOUNTING

General accumulated funds are unrestricted funds available to the Foundation for its general purposes and include from time to time funds designated by the trustees for particular purposes.

Endowment funds represent a single permanent endowment donated; from which unrestricted income is generated for the benefit of grant recipients as determined by the Trustees.

TAXATION

The Foundation is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS

The investments held by the Foundation are stated at fair value, being current fair value with realised and unrealised gains and losses being dealt with in the statement of financial activities. Investment income and gains or losses on sale of the investments are debited or credited directly to the statement of financial activities when they are received.

CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND

Cash at bank and cash 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.

CREDITORS AND PROVISIONS

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Foundation 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.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Foundation 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.

2 COMMITMENTS ON: CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES UNRESTRICTED (continued)

Negative figures arise from the cancellation of committed grants and/or the return of paid grants. These typically occur where beneficiaries were unable to complete the grant objectives, or have failed to adhere to the terms and conditions of the grant. It is a condition of the grant that under such circumstances any unused grants must be repaid and any undrawn commitments are cancelled.
