TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the period ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Director’s Report and Accounts for Companies Act purposes.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, as amended, the Companies Act 2006 and the reviewed Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Trustees who held office throughout the year are shown on page 1.
New Trustees, when required, are selected by the serving Trustees and are appointed by a Resolution of existing Trustees and confirmed by the Member at an annual general meeting, in accordance with the Articles of Association. New Trustees are informed of the history of the Charity and acquainted with the activities of the Charity.
No Trustee receives a fee for the service they provide to the charity, all time spent is donated free of charge.
RFT Management Services Limited provides the charity with corporate/charity administration and financial reporting services. The Trustees receive regular reports from RFT Management Services Limited.
The Trustees meet a minimum of two times a year.
OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity’s objects are to promote and support such charitable purpose or purposes and such charitable organisation or organisations, being purposes and organisations which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales, as the Trustees shall from time to time at their discretion decide.
The Charity’s objectives are wide in scope and allow the Trustees to modify their grant-making activity to consider varying charitable demands over time. This means that funding can be applied where the Trustees consider that it is most needed.
In furtherance of the objectives, the Trustees continue to make grants to charitable organisations both on a one-off and recurring basis.
The Trustees aim to continue to generate sufficient income to allow the Charity to meet its grant-making objective. This will be achieved by focusing on the long-term sustainability of the investments and maintaining the capital value to support this income requirement.
The Trustees monitor the performance of the investments against their income requirement and capital growth objectives in supporting income. Performance is discussed regularly with the investment manager against suitable industry benchmarks.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
GRANT MAKING POLICY
The Trustees support a variety of charitable purposes by providing financial support to other registered charities.
Whilst the Trustees are able to advance funds out of the expendable endowment fund, the intention for the foreseeable future is to pay expenses and grants solely out of income.
The Trustees met twice during the financial year covered by this report, in order to consider the applications for assistance made to them either by postal application received at the Charity’s registered office or by personal application to the Trustees. Each application is reviewed on its own merit.
The Trustees require all beneficiaries to acknowledge grants made and where possible to provide an update as to how funds have been applied by them in meeting their own charitable objectives and hence that the funds have been put to good use.
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit including the guidance “public benefit: running a charity” when formulating the grant making policy. The Trustees consider how grants can be made to ensure maximum benefits flows through to the intended ultimate beneficiaries.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
With the objects in mind the Trustees during the course of the period covered by this report made 33 grants totalling £225,500 to a variety of registered charities. These charities benefitted by way of increased financial resources to meet their charitable objects. The grants benefitted a number of public causes, as detailed in note 7.
A wide variety of causes were supported, the most significant was in the areas of
-
advancement of health or the saving of lives
-
advancement of the arts, culture, heritage or science
-
advancement of education
The Trustees look forward to being able to continue their charitable work in the coming years in accordance with the Grant Making Policy, which reflects the objectives of the Charity.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity’s principal source of income is from its investments, which amounted to £267,982 (2020 - £382,116).
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees have carefully considered the impacts of coronavirus on the charity. Whilst the charity has no staff it has received confirmation from RFT Management Services Limited (RFTMS) who provide all charity administration and financial accounting services that RFTMS have taken necessary steps to protect their staff. The Trustees have and continue to follow Government advice and will monitor future developments closely.

THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
The Trustees do not envisage any material change to the operation of the Charity in the long-term. The investments will continue to be managed on a similar basis to now. Notwithstanding this, the Trustees remain flexible in terms of the type of organisations supported so as to meet the demands of the day.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the Trustees’ intention to sustain the unrestricted funds at a level which will provide sufficient investment income to cover the charity’s management and administration costs and to be able to respond to any emergency applications that may arise from time to time as well as to continue making grants in accordance with the formula for annual giving stated in the preceding paragraph relating to the Grant Making Policy of the Trustees. At the Balance Sheet date, the unrestricted expendable endowment fund and income reserves of the charity amounted to £10,001,525 (2020 - £8,999,790). The level of undistributed income at the year-end was £37,560 (2020: £66,281). The Trustees are satisfied with this level.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Trustees have agreed an investment policy for the Charity’s investment portfolio and have instructed the investment managers that the portfolio is to be invested to produce a suitable mixture of income, in order that the level of grants may be maintained and capital growth to secure the future of the Charity in the coming years. This policy is monitored by regular investment reports and meetings with the investment managers.
To meet these objectives, the Charity's investments are managed across a range of asset classes to produce an appropriate balance between risk and return.
The Trustees have decided that it would be inappropriate to impose any specific ethical investment constraints upon the investment manager over and above those already contained within the managers’ own ethical and socially responsible investment policies.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate these risks. The principal risk faced by the Charity is an investment risk. This risk could be the reduction in the capital value of the investments and the income derived from the investments, required by the Trustees in meeting their charitable objectives. This risk has been addressed by the appointment of professional advisors to monitor investment performance and to decide on acquisitions and disposals.
KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
The Trustees are considered to be the Key Management Personnel of the Charity, the Trustees are not remunerated for their services and there are no paid staff employed by the Trust. Day to day management is carried out under an agreement with RFT Management Services Limited.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Trustees (who are the directors of the Wyfold Charitable Trust for the purposes of company law) 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).
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 Charity and the resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
-
The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping the accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2006. 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.
The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the Trustees’ Annual Report is prepared in accordance with company law in the United Kingdom.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Wyfold Charitable Trust (the ’charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statements and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Page 7
THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the charity’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and from preparing a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.
Our approach was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management.
-
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management.
-
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Page 9
THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charitable company and charitable company’s members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Charity is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity established as a company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom and therefore has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the 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 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity, and rounded to the nearest pound.
(b) Going Concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have carefully considered the impacts of coronavirus on the charity. Whilst the charity has no staff it has received confirmation from RFT Management Services Limited (RFTMS) who provide all charity administration and financial accounting services that RFTMS have taken necessary steps to protect their staff. The Trustees have and continue to follow Government advice and will monitor future developments closely. With respect to the next reporting period, 2021–22, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Charity are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets (see the investment policy and performance and risk management sections of the Trustees’ annual report for more information).
(c) Fund Structure
Unrestricted Funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects.
The Expendable Endowment Fund represents those assets which are held for the longer term for the Charity. Income arising on the Expendable Endowment Fund can be used in the Unrestricted Income Fund. As the Expendable Endowment Fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the Charity and is included in the unrestricted income, capital can also be spent in certain circumstances in fulfilment of the Charity’s objectives. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments held in the Expendable Endowment Fund form part of that Fund.
(d) Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the conditions for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has or will be made such income is grossed up for the tax recoverable. The following accounting policies are applied to different categories of income:
Page 14
THE WYFOLD CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Investment Income
Investment income is accounted for when receivable and is stated gross of any reclaimable taxation relief.
(e) Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised 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 and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. The following accounting policies are applied to the different categories of expenditure:
Costs of generating funds
The costs of raising funds consist of investment management and related costs.
Charitable Activities
Costs of charitable activities include grants made and support and governance costs. Grants payable are recognised when they are approved by the Trustees and the recipient of the grant has been informed of the amount to be paid.
Support and Governance Costs
Support and governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include expenses related to statutory audit fees, professional and legal fees and support costs.
(f) Fixed Asset Investments
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The unlisted investments are valued according to the amount stated by the Investment Fund Managers.
(g) Foreign Currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recognised at the rate of exchange at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are recognised through the statement of financial activities.
(h) Realised and Unrealised Gains and Losses
All gains and losses are taken to the SOFA as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as all the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening market value (or purchase date if later).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (CONT’D)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(i) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
In preparing financial statements, it is necessary to make certain adjustments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
- Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity date of three months of less.
(k) Financial Instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity’s balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2. INFORMATION REGARDING TRUSTEES AND EMPLOYEES
In the year ended 31 March 2021, none of the Trustees received any remuneration or had expenses reimbursed by the Charity.
The Trustees are considered to comprise the Charity’s key management.
3. LIABILITY OF MEMBERS
