The Marcus Margulies Charitable Trust

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2024

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2024. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8 and 9 and comply with the charity’s trust deed and applicable law.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Marcus Margulies Charitable Trust is constituted under a Trust deed dated 27 February 2014. It is a registered charity no. 1156856.

The Trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1.

Where there is a requirement for new Trustees, this would be identified by the remaining Trustees.

Risk management

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that such risks are continuously monitored and that appropriate steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

Objectives and Activities

This trust was set up by Marcus Margulies in 2014. Although the objects of the charity are to apply the income and capital of the Trust for charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion determine, the general policy is to make the bulk of grants to charities in Israel. These in the main support major capital projects, payable over a number of years, to organisations in the fields of medicine, wellbeing, education, and the arts, that benefit the whole population of Israel, irrespective of religion. In Britain donations have been largely to support nursing staff in National Health hospitals, and culture, especially with young people.

Grant making policy

All applications received are considered by the Trustees on their own merit for suitability of funding.

Reserves policy

The Trustees’ policy is to maintain their continuing level of support under the grant making policy that they have agreed. If income resources are insufficient to cover the grants then recourse is made to the other funds of the Trust. The Trustees do not consider that any minimum level of resources is required.

Plans for the future

The Trustees intend to continue providing grants in a similar way to the recent past but retaining flexibility as to the timing, and scale of grant making.

Achievements and Performance

The Trustees have continued to apply their funds in accordance with the objectives of the Trust and their grant making policy. Donations totalling £805,777 have been made in the year (2023 - £42,325) and are detailed in note 5 of these Financial Statements.

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), note 5 shows a schedule of grants paid or payable in this financial year. Under SORP, there is a requirement to include in the charitable activities of the Charity the full commitment to make a donation or grant in the financial year that they were committed, irrespective of when they are contracted to be paid.

Financial Review

The Trust’s investments are managed by Meridiem Asset Management Limited and Fundsmith LLP under a discretionary mandate and a conservative investment policy which aims at maintaining the capital of the charity through diversification whilst maintaining sufficient liquidity for the Trust’s foreseeable needs and donations.

The market value of the investment portfolios at 5 April 2024 were £13,563,086 (2023 - £12,125,363).

The balance of cash held at 5 April 2024 was £1,113,252 (2023 - £3,435,597).

The Trustees report an income surplus of £685,630 for the year ended 5 April 2024 (2023 - deficit of £74,689) before brought forward balances.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

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 charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which 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 and 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.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2024

1 Principal Accounting Policies

(a) Accounting Convention

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in preparing the financial statements the charity follows best practice as laid down in the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and comply with the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 issued under the Charities Act 2011.

(b) Donations, legacies and similar income

Donations, legacies and similar income are shown in the accounts when receivable and the value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

(c) Investment income

Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.

(d) Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

(e) Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities include grants made and an apportionment of overhead and support costs where applicable.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Trust. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the Trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the Trust.

(f) Governance costs

Governance costs comprise costs relating to the general running of the charity as opposed to those associated with generating funds or charitable activity.

(g) Fixed asset investments

Investments are stated at closing market value at the balance sheet date. Any gains or losses on revaluation and disposal are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.

(h) Realised gains and losses

Gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and purchase cost. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at year end and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Realised and unrealised gains and losses are not separated in the Statement of Financial Assets.

(i) Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities

(j) Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
