TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, 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 published (FRS102) published in October 2019.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The charity was founded by Gordon Bramah in December 2013 and endowed by him the following year. Gordon sadly died in December 2017 and the charity, bearing his name, continues his philanthropic work. In the seven years since endowment the charity has made grants and gifts of more than £270,000. We have in addition recently pledged £125,000 to the University of Sheffield for its planned Gene Therapy Innovation and Manufacturing Centre, subject to conditions which we anticipate being met in our next financial year.

Although the charity has broad powers, it is primarily concerned with supporting charities and individuals in the North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire areas. As a general principle its priority is donating to capital projects rather than supporting ongoing expenditure. However, in this financial year the trustees allocated £40,000 for selected local charities whose fund-raising activities have been hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, and which therefore required funds other than for capital projects.

The Trustees who served during the year are:

Mrs J M Bramah Dr M H Banks Mrs S P Burgess-Smith Mrs J M Banks Mr M C Burgess-Smith

Mrs J M Bramah is entitled to hold office for life. Future Trustees must be appointed by a resolution of the Trustees.

When new Trustees are appointed they are briefed on the objects of the charity and given a copy of the charity's constitution and latest accounts.

The Trustees meet twice each year to consider appeals.

All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee was remunerated in the year.

The principal risks to which the charity is exposed are the security and the performance of the investments and cash and the Trustees are satisfied that they have arrangements in place to mitigate those risks.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Objectives and activities

a. Strategies for achieving objectives

Public benefit

The Trustees have referred to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when reviewing the trust's objectives and grant making policies.

The charity has continued to meet its objectives and fulfil its public benefit requirements by making grants, pledges and gifts to a wide range of local projects.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the charity

Details of the grants made and authorised are set out in the notes to the accounts.

Financial review

a. Going concern

Total incoming resources for the year were £85,850 (2020: £84,182) being investment income on the Trust's investment portfolio.

Total resources expended for the year were £56,173 (2020: £35,554). Investment management costs were £12,958 (2020: £14,119). Expenditure on charitable activities was £43,215 (2020: £21,435), which included governance costs of £3,215 (2020: £3,520).

Net incoming resources for the year were £29,677 (2020: £48,628). After taking into account the gains on investments of £665,217 (2020: losses of £409,968), there was a net surplus of £694,894 (2020: net deficit of £361,340).

At 31 March 2021 the charity's expendable endowment fund amounted to £2,201,745 (2020: £1,549,486) and unrestricted funds were £182,594 (2020: £139,959).

b. Reserves policy

At 31 March 2021 the charity had unrestricted free reserves amounting to £182,594 (2020: £139,959). The trustees consider it to be prudent to hold income reserves of this order partly so the level of grants in the immediate future can be sustained in the event of any unforeseen fall in income and partly to enable the Trustees to make one or more substantial grants without prejudicing the normal pattern of grant making.

THE GORDON BRAMAH CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

c. Investment policy

The investment objective is to maximise the funds of the charity, achieving a level of income commensurate to the asset mix and capital growth ahead of inflation over time. This objective should be achieved undertaking only a moderate level of risk.

The Trustees' investments are managed by the investment advisors on an advisory basis.

d. Going concern

The Trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the charity's activities, taking into account the government's roadmap to recovery and, the Trustees are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any impacts that arise.

The charity has sufficient reserves to enable it to continue for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the trustees believe it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.

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:

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.

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

Mrs S P Burgess-Smith

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Gordon Bramah Charitable Settlement ('the charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts 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) 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 been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. General information

The Gordon Bramah Charitable Settlement is a registered unincorporated charity in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activity is grant-making activities.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

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) issued in October 2019, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Gordon Bramah Charitable Settlement 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.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2.2 Going concern

The Trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the charity's activities, taking into account the government's roadmap to recovery and, the Trustees are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any impacts that arise.

The charity has sufficient reserves to enable it to continue for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the trustees believe it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.

2.3 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.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Page 9

THE GORDON BRAMAH CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 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.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.5 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 is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure on raising funds relates to investment management costs.

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.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.6 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

2.7 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.

Page 10

THE GORDON BRAMAH CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.9 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.

2.10 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 at 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. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments 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.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There were no estimates and assumptions in the financial year.
