THE PUREY CUST TRUST CIO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2022
Introduction
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5[th] April 2022.
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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) as detailed in the accounting policies.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Purey Cust Trust CIO (the “Charity”) was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation on 16[th] June 2014, number 1159079.
Trustees are appointed by the board of Trustees and meet four times a year to consider applications and deal with the governance of the charity, applications for assistance are considered at each meeting and in cases where decisions are needed quickly, the Trustees operate a fast track grant processing system for sums up to £500.
The secretary is appointed by the Trustees to assist in the day to day administration of the charity.
The induction process for newly appointed Trustees comprises an initial meeting with one or more Trustees to brief them on their legal obligations under charity law, the decision making processes of the charity and its policies and procedures. Trustees are provided with a handbook detailing relevant aspects of the trust once appointed.
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 ensure regular reports are produced for Trustees to ensure all necessary actions are taken to lessen the risks.
Public benefit
The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission in respect of public benefit and in planning the activities for the year, have kept this in mind.
Objectives and Activities
The primary objective is the promotion of health and well-being in and around the City of York by way of charitable grants. This includes both grants to organisations and via third parties to individuals.
Grants to organisations could be for: medical equipment; mental health or other therapies; activity or self help groups; capacity building – ie expansion of services; capital costs for improvements to service delivery; training; education or raising awareness of health related conditions; respite care or trips/activities for those with long term or life limiting conditions.
Grants for individuals must be made by a third party referee, such as GP, social worker, housing association or local authority. Such grants could be for: medical or disability related equipment; domestic or personal items for health or disability related issues (including mental health); health or disability related training; activities to alleviate health or disability related conditions (including mental health).
The trust continues to prioritise one off grants for specific purposes rather than supporting ongoing routine or core costs, such as rent, rates and salaries and continues to prioritise making awards that will have the greatest impact.
The trust welcomes applications preferably using the application form available on the Trust’s website. The Trustees and Secretary are always willing to informally discuss possible applications to advise if they fall within the remit of the trust.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2022
Achievements and Performance
Headline Data
Grant making in 2021-22 stood at a total of £124,084 a significant increase from £80,672 in 2020-21, above the Trustees’ target of £100,000 per annum and the highest value of grants awarded by the Trust in any year.
Grant totals have fluctuated somewhat over recent years, although Trustees have been committed to increasing awareness of the Trust’s work through PR opportunities, leaflets, increased word of mouth, social media and a website that provides for online applications.
Applications
In 2021-22, 58 applications were received (2020-21:44) and of these 44 grants were awarded. Of the 14 applications not supported, 7 were refused, 1 was asked to provide futher evidence of local activity, but was not working with any York residents at the current time, 3 were invited to provide a more specific application in relation to local York project delivery and failed to provide this, 1 application was withdrawn after a grant offer had been made, 1 was withdrawn before a grant offer was made and 1 application was deferred to 2022-23 pending further information.
Generic applications from national charities that pro-rate York costs, without specific York activity being evidenced are most likely to be refused. Second to this are applications that have received significant year on year support, although Trustees do not have a formal policy on this, with all cases being judged on their own merit. The chart below shows the total number of applications received and the number refused by trustees year on year:
Page 3
THE PUREY CUST TRUST CIO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2022
Over the past ten years, Trustees have been keen to increase the number of applications year on year and have overall had success with this. The chart above is helpful, but is skewed as until 2019-20, all grants paid to individuals through CYC were counted indiviudually. Since 2019-20, the block grant scheme has been successfully administered on the Trust’s behalf, reducing the overall number of applications considered, but increasing the value of grants awarded. This year, £4046 was paid to CYC to award in sums up to £250 to individuals in need. In addition, £8434 was paid to CYC for individuals requiring support in excess of £250. This latter was sum was used to support 8 individual grants, all individually approved by Trustees.
The Block Grants scheme enables grants to be made more quickly in-house by CYC, with regular reports being submitted to Trustees outlining how the grant funds have been used. Trustees have been very pleased with the way this scheme has been working and are committed to further support going forward as it is evident CYC are able to support more individuals with small grants than ever before.
Average Grant Values
The average grant value across the last 10 years is shown on the graph below. It is promising to see it has increased again this year although the increases since 2019-20 are in part due to the reduced number of grants awarded to individuals due to the Block Grant to CYC.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2022
The analysis of grants by type is shown on the chart below for 2021-22. The analysis is of the value of grants awarded, not the number of grants awarded.
Grants Strategy
The Trust has quite clear and concise charitable objectives and Trustees reviewed these during the year at a Strategy Day, where they agreed the Trust’s priorities and criteria for funding. As a result, the website was updated to reflect the renewed criteria. The application forms were also revised to ensure that Trustees obtain the necessary information to assess applications.

Financial Review
The Trustees awarded charitable grants totalling £124,084. A list of grants can be found in note 9 to the financial statements. The total income for the year was £72,498 and the expenses of administering the charity and investments were £29,157.
Reserves policy
The Trust has recently reviewed its investment policy, which is now to maintain the capital asset at £3m+RPI year on year and to thereafter maximise income. This policy was implemented towards the end of the year to 5[th] April 2022.
Prior to this, the investment policy was to maintain investments at such a level to generate sufficient cash funds annually to allow it to award in the region of £80,000 in the coming year. These cash funds were also to be sufficient to cover the expected annual administrative and governance costs of the charity excluding investment management fees.
During the year the level of dividends received was lower than the target of £80,000 and as a result, Trustees resolved to utilise unrestricted funds to meet the total grants and administrative costs of the Trust.
Investment powers and policy
Under the constitution, the charity has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit. The policy is to invest in a portfolio which will maximise return with a medium to low risk. The trustees have an ethical investment policy in place which excludes direct investment in Tobacco, Gambling or Alcohol companies and no investment funds which have over 5% invested in these restricted sectors. This policy has been adopted in furtherance of the Trust's charitable aims and objectives.
Plans for Future Periods
Trustees are pleased with the increase in grants awarded during the year, which is in keeping with their medium term aim. Going forward to 2022-23, Trustees are keen to develop the Block Grants Scheme with other local organisations in York. In addition, they are keen to continue to raise awareness of the Trust’s work and provide greater clarity about its areas of focus to encourage the quantity of quality applications received.
Approval
This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 31[st] October 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUREY CUST TRUST CIO

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2022
1. 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.
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.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.
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 payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.
Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
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.
Fixed asset investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument.
