TRUSTEES' REPORT For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

The members of The HM Tower of London Chapels Royal Foundation (“The Foundation”), who are also the trustees of the Foundation for the purposes of the Charities Acts, have pleasure in presenting their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the Foundation'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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).

Structure and Governance

a. Constitution

The Foundation was constituted by deed on 10 March 2015 made jointly by The Lord Chamberlain, The Constable of Her Majesty’s Tower of London and The Dean of Her Majesty’s Chapels Royal and became effective on 12 March 2015, the date of Registration by The Charity Commission of the Foundation as a charitable incorporated organisation, registered number 1160859.

The Foundation was established to take over the assets of and undertakings then carried on by four charities (“the amalgamating charities”) operating within HM Tower of London – The HM Tower of London Choral Foundation (Reg. No. 249306), The Association of Friends of the Chapel Royal within Her Majesty’s Tower of London (Reg. No. 259429), The Constable’s Fund (Reg. No. 275453) and The Council of the Chapels Royal within HM Tower of London (Reg. No. 1142785). The Trustees of each of the amalgamating charities resolved on 9 June 2015 to transfer to the Foundation the assets and undertaking of the relevant charity with effect 31 August 2015 having obtained necessary agreement from the Charity Commission and subsequently to apply to the Commission to remove that charity from the Central Register of Charities.

The Chapels Royal within HM Tower of London (“the Chapels”) comprise The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula and the Chapel Royal of St John the Evangelist.

Objects, activities and public benefit

a. Objects

The objects of the Foundation are:

b. Activities for achieving objectives

During the period under review the Foundation provided over 125 services in the Chapels. These services included regular Sunday services and some evening services held on feast days, as well as weddings and memorial services. In addition, there were joint services with neighbouring churches and also special services for members of other organisations, such as charities and livery companies. The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula is one of the regimental chapels of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, and as such provides annual commemorative or other services for members of a number of ex-service and other organisations. During this

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

period, the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment were also granted permission to use St Peter ad Vincula as one of their regimental chapels.

The Foundation provided advice to the Chaplain and supported him in his pastoral work and in the ministry which he exercises in and from the Chapels.

While Historic Royal Palaces (Charity No. 106682) maintains the physical structures and permanent fixtures of the Chapels, it is necessary for the Foundation to raise, from worshippers and supporters of the Chapels and others, the funds required to maintain the activities of the Chapels and to expand the reach of the Chapel’s communities and the Chaplain’s ministry. The Foundation also encourages the Chaplain in his outreach work in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which include some of the most deprived parts of the country. During the period under review, the Foundation extended this work by continuing a scheme for members of the congregation to support a Food Bank in Tower Hamlets.

During the period, the Foundation made provision for grants of £3,000 to certain other charities and also provided assistance to some charities to enable them to hold services in the Chapels.

From the end of March until 7th July 2020, the Tower of London was closed as restrictions were put in place to control the spread of COVID-19. The Chapel was able to continue with a restricted service, in line with direction from the Church of England, within this period. Social distancing rules meant that it was not possible to allow public access to St Peter ad Vincula from 7th July for the remainder of the period, although Sunday service resumed.

2020 marked the 500th Anniversary of the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula. To celebrate this, a programme of 15 events was organised, including lectures, musical events, flower festival and special services throughout 2020. The programme was devised and managed by a committee made up of Chapel members and HRP. Sadly, the pandemic resulted in the cancellation of all Chapel 500 events in this reporting period other than certain lectures held before the closure of the Tower.

c. Public Benefit

When planning activities for the year, the Chaplain and the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The services exemplify faith through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. The main services which are held in the Chapels are conducted not only for the benefit of those who work and live within the Tower of London, and for the regular extra-mural congregations, but also for the public generally, to facilitate wide public participation, arrangements are in place for members of the public to be admitted to the Tower of London free of charge if they wish only to attend services in the Chapels.

Nearly 3 million people would normally visit the Tower of London each year and a substantial number of them visit one or both of the Chapels. In so doing they experience the Chapels, not only as places of beauty and great significance in the history of the nation, but also as living places of worship.

d. Financial Review

The Foundation was established in March 2015 but did not commence operating activities until immediately after the transfer of assets and undertakings of the amalgamating charities on 31 August 2015. The principal assets acquired by the Foundation comprised the Chapel Plate, Chapel furnishings and bank balances transferred by the Council of the Chapels Royal within the HM Tower of London and the listed investments and bank balances transferred by the three other amalgamating charities. The investments have been managed as a single portfolio but regarded as comprising three sub-funds, a Choral Fund, a Benevolent Fund and a General Fund into which specified proportions of the assets of the amalgamating charities.

In aggregate the net assets transferred, principally comprising investments, amounted to some £2.304m which was received by way of donation from the amalgamating charities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

During the year from 1 September 2019 to 31 August 2020, the incoming resources amounted to £247,632 (2019: £250,486) and outgoing resources to £165,519 (2019: £189,227). In addition, unrealised investment portfolio gains arose during the year of £112,506 (2019: £108,911).

Income was enhanced by an appeal made for individual donations of £500 or more to enable a chair to be named in the Chapels. The amount received in the period for the chair donations amounted to £500 (2019: £1,750). The appeal remains open and continues to enjoy a slow but steady take up. A substantial in memoriam donation of £50,000 was received.

A Stewardship campaign continued during the period to encourage a direct debit method of regular individual giving via CAF. It is hoped that this will grow steadily and both provide regular income with reduced administration.

�. Reserves Policy

The Foundation is largely reliant on donations from those attending services in the Chapels and others including grant making bodies and visitors to HM Tower of London to supplement the investment income arising on its listed investment portfolio held to finance the provision of services within the Chapels including the cost of the Chaplain, Master of Music and Choir. The long-term policy is to aim to build up the investment portfolio through funding secured from additional donations and legacies so as to enable the Foundation to cover ongoing operating costs without recourse to cash reserves. At 31 August 2020 the total funds amounted to £3,204,555 (2019: £3,009,936). All funds are unrestricted but have been allocated between designated funds represented by tangible and heritage fixed assets of £263,519 (2019: £249,005), an investment reserve of £2,750,541 (2019: £2,578,556) and general reserves of £190,495 (2019: £182,375).

�. Heritage Assets

Heritage assets are assets of historical importance held to advance the objectives of the Foundation. These assets comprise items of ceremonial plate integral to the activities of the Chapels Royal, and are included at the valuation estimated to be an appropriate market value. These assets are not depreciated as they are deemed to have indeterminate lives and a comparatively high residual value; regular impairment reviews are undertaken. Historic Royal Palaces displays and provides day to day care for the Heritage Assets.

�. Risk Management

The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

Financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the Foundation. A key element of the management of financial risk is close attention to cash flows and projected outflows while seeking to secure grants, and voluntary income including legacy pledges

�. Trustees' responsibilities statement

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK 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 the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The HM Tower of London Chapels Royal Foundation (the 'charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

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 Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  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.

General Lord Houghton of Richmond GCB CBE, Chairman

The notes on pages 9 to 19 form part of these financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The HM Tower of London Chapels Royal 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.

The trustees have considered the impact of the pandemic on the financial position of the Foundation by taking account of both the reductions in income and the reduction made in levels of continuing costs. They have concluded that the Foundation remains a going concern for the foreseeable future and that the financial statements should accordingly be prepared on a going concern basis.

1.2 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.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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

Further details of each fund are given in note 17.

1.3 Income recognition

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.

Donations are recognised when the Foundation has received or been notified of both the amount and the date of receipt. Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the Foundation has been notified of the amount and the settlement date.

Interest and dividends are recognised when receivable; for interest this is normally on notification by the bank and for dividends on notification by the investment manager.

Income from Choir fees, Concerts and Chapel charges is recognised following the event for which the fees or charges have been made.

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

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent that goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

Page 9

The HM Tower of London Chapels Royal Foundation

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1.4 Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

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.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Heritage assets are included at market value. Heritage assets are deemed to have a high residual value and accordingly no depreciation is charged.

The Music Library, Bible, High Altar Set and Lectern are included at cost or valuation if lower. The residual value of these assets is deemed to be similar to the lower of cost or valuation and accordingly no depreciation is charged.

The Heritage assets, the Music Library, the Bible, High Altar Set and Lectern are reviewed annually for evidence of any reduction in net realisable value. The written down value of other tangible fixed assets is reviewed when events or circumstances indicate the written down value may not be recoverable.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 31 August 2020

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1.6 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 fair 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 shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
