The bases for determining that the above charities are subsidiaries of the Charity are that they are effectively under the control of the Charity’s trustees and they undertake charitable activities which further the charitable aims of the Charity. The trustees of the Charity, as a body, either act as trustee of the charitable subsidiary or have the right to appoint the majority of trustees of the subsidiary.
MCF Trading Limited was incorporated on 28[th] April 2021 for the initial purpose of the development of the land at Bushey Grange.

The trustee board and committees also have regard to the affairs of the CMCs with the exception of The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution Care Company (“RMBICC”) and its subsidiaries, which are run by their own board of trustees and committees.
With the exception of RMBICC, the CMCs do not employ any staff. Services are provided to the CMCs by the Charity and are recharged to the CMCs (excluding RMBICC) monthly, based upon the number of grants processed on behalf of each CMC.
The chief executive chairs a monthly senior leadership team meeting which handles all operational matters and prepares strategic papers for consideration by the trustees.
## **Appointment, Induction and Training of Trustees**
Up to 18 trustees can be appointed to the board through selection by the nominations committee and approval by the Grand Master on the recommendation of the Grand Master’s Council. In addition, up to 5 persons may (in circumstances where a person having a specific skill or area of expertise is required to supplement the skills and expertise possessed by existing trustees or to fill a casual vacancy) on the recommendation of the nominations committee and with the approval of the Grand Master on the recommendation of the Grand Master’s Council be co-opted by the trustees. Trustees may include people who are not Freemasons. Following an extensive governance review the trustees have decided to reduce their number down to 15, and this will be achieved in the new year 2022/23.
Appropriate induction and training is provided for all new trustees and ongoing training is provided for existing trustees so that they are aware of their statutory obligations. Trustees are encouraged to contribute actively to the governance of the Charity. Specialist training is provided as required for trustees serving on committees.
The president and deputy president are appointed annually by the Grand Master on the recommendation of the Grand Master’s Council. The chairman and treasurer are elected by the trustees annually.
## **Remuneration of Key Management Personnel**
The Charity’s policy is to reward executive managers according to their expertise and experience. The executive management benefit package comprises a basic salary, pension contribution and private health provision.
Basic salaries are reviewed annually against the charity sector as well as the wider professional market and information is presented to the chief executive for his consideration and then to the MCF remuneration committee. No member of the executive management team is able to make a decision on their own pay.

## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Objectives**
The Objects of the Charity are, for the public benefit, to:
- (a) relieve sickness and preserve health, advance education and prevent or relieve poverty or financial hardship, amongst such persons as the trustees consider from time to time to be in need of assistance to the extent to which the trustees in their absolute discretion think appropriate; and to
- (b) further such other purposes (being exclusively charitable) as the trustees may from time to time in their absolute discretion consider appropriate.
The Charity meets its charitable objectives though activities that either focus on support for Freemasons and their dependants (“Masonic Support”) or on supporting need within wider society (“Charity Grants”).
When setting the objectives and planning the work of the Charity for the year, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
## **Activities**
## **Masonic Support - Grants**
The Charity provides grants to assist members of the Masonic community throughout their lives, from childcare support for pre-school children through to respite care for older people. Eligibility extends the greatest range of support to Freemasons and their immediately family members but provides some assistance to those who can demonstrate a close connection to a Freemason. The wide range of assistance offered is grouped into three core areas: daily living costs; health, care and wellbeing; and children, young people and education. Most grants involve a financial assessment to ensure support is targeted to those who need it most. In addition, independent living loans are offered to support people to adapt their homes to meet their mobility and health needs.
Daily Living Costs
- The main provision is through daily living costs grants paid to help Masonic families who are unable to afford everyday living costs and to participate actively in their community. The value of these grants are based on the Minimum Income Standard; empirical research conducted and regularly updated by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Loughborough University. Beneficiaries will have experienced a change in their circumstances or a life event that has left them in financial hardship.
- Grants are also provided for one-off costs that impact on wellbeing, financial stability and independence. For example small but essential home repairs or to ensure there is access to heating and hot water in the winter; utility arrears, rent deposits to prevent homelessness and funeral grants when no other funds are available.
- Loans for independent living can be provided through the Victor Donaldson Fund, a restricted fund held within the RMBICC. It is used to provide secured interest-free loans to Freemasons and their dependants for essential home repairs and developments to support continued independence at home.

## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Activities (Continued)**
Health, Care and Wellbeing
- Medical and dental grants are paid to help with the cost of private treatment or surgery which cannot be provided freely or quickly through the NHS. Assessments and diagnostic tests are funded when applicants face a long wait.
- A counselling care-line is accessible to all adult members of the Masonic community without an application or financial test. Working with a partner organisation it provides professional, free and confidential support to help them through difficult periods and improve their mental well-being.
- Working with nationwide providers, mobility equipment including scooters, stair-lifts, power chairs and hoists are provided to support independent living. Grants are provided for specialist or bespoke equipment for young people with severe and life-limiting disabilities.
- Grants are offered to supplement state support to pay for home adaptations required due to medical or mobility needs.
Children, Young People and Education
- For families being supported with daily living cost grants, a wide range of educational grants are available to ensure that children are not disadvantaged in their education because of a lack of funds, including IT equipment, uniforms, specialist tuition, extracurricular activities and educational opportunities. .
- .
- School fees are paid to prevent children in fee-paying education having to leave when their parents/guardians have experienced a life change preventing them from meeting the fees.
- Students in higher and postgraduate education are supported directly with scholarships.
- TalentAid is an annual scheme aimed at supporting children and young people with exceptional talent to train and develop in order to compete at the highest level or enter a career in music, sport or the performing arts.
- Breaks for carers provides funding for carers to take some time away from their caring responsibilities.
The total of Masonic Grants expenditure is found in Note 6 to the accounts on page 40.
## **Advice and Support**
The Charity provides practical and emotional support services that make a significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of the Masonic population.
- An enquiries team ensures that all enquirers who might be eligible for support are assisted with starting the application process and all those who are not are signposted to other sources of help and advice.
Page 9 of 83
## **MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Activities (Continued)**
- A team of professional advisers based throughout England and Wales provide advice, guidance and support on a range of issues. They will make contact or visit to listen, understand needs, discuss potential solutions and direct to organisations and services that can help. The team can assist with applications for charitable and state support as well as signposting to national and local services.
- All Masonic support teams work closely with volunteers through the network of Freemasonry which exists across England and Wales.
## **Response to the Coronavirus pandemic**
Restrictions that were introduced due to the Covid-19 pandemic eased throughout the year and the MCF adapted working practices accordingly. Visits to beneficiaries’ homes by visiting volunteers had been curtailed but were re-started in August 2021. Similarly, advice and support team advisers undertook an increasing number of face-to-face visits as restrictions eased. By the end of the reporting year, processes were no longer significantly affected by Covid-19 and were operating in a way that offered the best efficiency and service for MCF and its beneficiaries.
The four annual holidays which are run in collaboration with local Freemason committees were postponed for both 2020 and 2021 but plans were made to reintroduce the holidays in the summer of 2022.
## **Charity Grants**
Grants from the Charity are made to charities registered with the Charity Commission and whose beneficiaries are located across England and Wales. In addition, grants are provided for disaster relief support, both in the UK and overseas.
The Charity seeks to achieve the following main objectives through its charity grants programmes:
- To make a significant difference to people in real need.
- To provide support, addressing the needs of the whole family, from early childhood to old age.
- To support causes which reflect the interests and values of Freemasons and their families.
- To achieve maximum impact by ensuring the most effective projects are being supported.
During the period covered by this annual report, the Charity continued to develop its key strategic partnerships with Age UK, Hospice UK and Home Start and made grants to charities in five key areas where public benefit is clearly demonstrated.
**Early Years Opportunities** – Grants to support charities that help disadvantaged children and young people overcome the barriers they face and achieve the best possible start in life. These grants help to create opportunities and a more positive future for thousands of disadvantaged young people through mental and physical health support, parenting programmes, pastoral care and learning and development opportunities.

## **MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Activities (Continued)**
**Later Life Inclusion** – Grants to support charities that help people to overcome barriers enabling them to participate actively in society in their later years. These grants help people who face social isolation or loneliness through a range of services to support the physical and emotional needs of people as they age, including community-based programmes and access to healthcare, transport and technology.
**Medical and Social Research** - Grants to support social and medical research through PhD studentships.
**Emergency Grants** - Emergency grants are made in times of national emergency, both in the UK and overseas. These grants are made at the discretion of the Emergency Grants Panel to ensure rapid response by the Charity and are normally made through international relief organisations. Some grants are made in conjunction with the appropriate District or Provincial Grand Lodge.
**Hospices** - Grants are available to all hospice services in England and Wales that receive less than 60% of their income from the NHS. Hospice grants are awarded for running costs only and no contributions are made to capital appeals. The Hospice UK partnership programme provides additional grants to widen access and help improve local hospice services, with the focus this year on re-imagining day hospice services.
MCF operates two schemes to provide charitable grants via the Provinces:
- Matched Funding – The scheme enables provinces to double the amount of funds that they can provide to local charities by applying for funding from the Charity.
- Festival Grants Programme – This scheme offers support to provinces during their festival appeal. Each province will be allocated a grant fund to offer to local registered charities over the period of their festival.
## **The Duke of Edinburgh Memorial Fund**
In memory of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, a donation of £300,000 was made to The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award to enable children and young people with special educational needs to participate in the Award programme.
## **Funder Plus initiatives**
The charity has embarked on a new funder plus initiative in partnership with The Cranfield Trust, who have been awarded £228,000 over two years to provide pro-bono consultancy and mentoring support to small and medium charities.
## **Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic**
At the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, the Charity, working in partnership with the United Grand Lodge of England (“UGLE”), set up several initiatives to provide additional support to communities across England and Wales, and this continued in 2021 with a Phase 2 RCG Covid-19 Fund major grant of £200,000 to Refuge to support their domestic abuse helpline.

## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Activities (Continued)**
The total of charity grants expenditure is found in Note 6 to the accounts as Non-Masonic Grants on page 40.
## **Relief Chest Scheme**
The Relief Chest Scheme (RCS), introduced in 1986, offers individual relief chests to lodges, chapters, provinces and other recognised Masonic organisations, which are used to generate funds for all types of charitable purposes. These funds are held by The Grand Charity unincorporated trust in a restricted fund. A donation is made from a relief chest to a charity, an organisation recognised as charitable, or for an individual in distress only at the request of the relief chest holder.
The RCS provides vital support to provinces in festival and other appeals, enabling them to reach their fundraising targets efficiently. It also ensures that all statutory compliance and administration requirements, for example, of the Charity Commission, Information Commissioner’s Office and HMRC have been met.
Investment in infrastructure and latest technology ensures that the RCS delivers a risk management framework in a cost efficient manner.
In 2018, RCS launched donor advised funds for individuals. The Individual Relief Chest Scheme (IRCs) programme was released in beta version. It is now open to all Freemasons, their families and friends. These funds are held by the Masonic Charitable Foundation in a restricted fund.
All services of the RCS are provided free, no administration fee is charged to the chest holder.
The services of the RCS, which assist donors to give to both Masonic and non-Masonic charitable activities efficiently, contribute to the public benefit by creating value for other charities and extending the Scheme’s positive impact.
The Charity is transforming Masonic charitable giving to make the process easy and to help give substantial donations each year to charitable causes.
The Charity is committed to helping Freemasons to make a difference to the world in which they live and to inspire greater generosity from this community, by offering practical tailored support through its wealth of resources and tools.
## **Maintaining and supporting the Festival and Donations IT system**
In addition to the above, the RCS provides maintenance and support of the Festival and Donations IT system. This application is used for the festival management of the CMCs.
## **Maintaining and supporting the Honorifics Evaluation IT system (HONE)**
RCS designed and developed an application (HONE) to manage the honorific programme for the Charity. This IT system is maintained and supported by RCS.

## **Activities (Continued)**
## **Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution Care Company**
The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution Care Company (RMBICC) is a company limited by guarantee and a subsidiary of the MCF with a history spanning nearly 170 years of providing care for Masons and their dependants. A Board of 12 trustees oversees the strategic direction and running of the RMBICC which includes 2 MCF trustees.
## Objects
The objects of RMBICC are to relieve the need, suffering and distress of the beneficiaries and for that purpose:
- (a) To support beneficiaries who are in need of financial assistance from the Charity;
- (b) To provide beneficiaries with accommodation in residential care facilities or sheltered accommodation and make available such care as may be required; and
- (c) To provide such other benefits to beneficiaries as the trustees shall from time to time think fit.
The primary objective is achieved by running fifteen care homes, one learning and or/physical disability service in England and two care homes in Wales, and financially supporting those who are unable to pay for the full cost of care.
## Mission
The RMBICC provides residential, dementia, respite and nursing care across 17 locations for older people and younger learning and or/physical disability services at one location with a combined total of 1,121 placements. Its mission is to provide unique individual care, with kindness, support and trust helping deliver a service that we can all be proud of in making a real difference to people’s everyday lives. The Charity employs around 1,500 staff to meet support and care needs.
## **Fundraising**
Fundraising income for the MCF is generated solely through Freemasons and their families. Within this, fundraising appeals, or festivals, provide the single largest source of income. Festival appeals are run on an “in aid of” basis by Masonic provinces. At 31 March 2022 there were 23 active festival appeals raising funds for the charity. During the year, four festival appeals were launched and four were completed.
The fundraising team provides ongoing practical support and advice to appeal committees. In 2021/22 additional guidance was developed in conjunction with the United Grand Lodge of England (“UGLE”) including an induction process for key fundraising stakeholders.
The biennial conference was held in October 2021. The conference brought together over 100 fundraising stakeholders to engage with their fellow fundraisers, members of the MCF fundraising team and other MCF staff. Further support was given to festival appeal teams through a series of online festival ‘drop-in’ surgeries.
The MCF and its subsidiaries receive a number of legacy gifts each year. The MCF is a charity partner of The Goodwill Partnership, providing free access to the will-writing service as a public benefit to freemasons and non-freemasons alike.

The RMBICC has responded robustly and ensured the safe management of services during the pandemic. All care homes as of the 31[st] March 2022 are in recovery from the impact of Covid-19 with each home manager receiving a British Citizen Honours Award for their services during the crisis.
In 2021, RMBICC was shortlisted for the HR Excellence Awards, in recognition of its crisis management strategy and support for staff through its health and wellbeing strategy. RMBICC continues to strive to be an employer of choice, embodying its values: Kind, Supportive and Trusted.
Carehome.co.uk recognised the RMBICC as a ‘Top 20 Mid-size Care Home Group’ for the fifth year running, and Albert Edward Prince of Wales Court, in Porthcawl, was identified as a ‘Top 20 Care Home’ in Wales. The awards are based on reviews submitted by residents and their families. Achieving such standards during a pandemic is all the more remarkable; it is a strong reflection of how the RMBICC supports those that live and work in our Homes.
Staff continue to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and testing remains in place for all visitors. RMBICC’s homes have retained strong regulatory ratings, and they passed all infection control inspections during the pandemic due to our robust internal audit and governance procedures.
547 new residents moved into RMBICC’s homes in 2021, which is a higher rate than was seen in 2019, pre Covid-19. This demonstrates the ongoing demand for RMBICC’s services, especially its nursing care and dementia support services.
The board and executive team have agreed an ambitious 20-year vision for the RMBICC. Over time, this will see an increase in the support that it is able to provide to our beneficiaries. This includes new build developments, like the first new care home in over a decade, which opens later this year in Berkshire.
## **Care and safety**
In time, the RMBICC will look back on the pandemic and remember the stories of its residents and staff, and the lasting impact the experience has had on each of their lives.
Retaining an older persons charity within the ‘storms’ of a pandemic, often with a lack of clarity in guidance from the Government and statutory agencies, has perhaps been the biggest achievement for RMBICC. A Covid-19 review group, which consisted of specialist managers, was formed early to ensure the health and safety of our residents and staff.
RMBICC’s commitment to purchase PPE in excess of £1 M remains one of the most important actions taken to protect its staff, ensuring plentiful supplies were available at the beginning of the pandemic. Its innovative property team, who created visitor pods in every care home, enabled the RMBICC to support family visits throughout the past year. It also shared regular communications with residents and families to update on the changing Government guidance and how it affected them.
Maintaining strong communications with staff was just as crucial to give assurance and to address any concerns. A monthly digital newsletter was created for staff called ‘Keeping Strong Together,’ which included a personal message from the managing director. Purchasing Zoom, an online conferencing platform, prior to the pandemic, also helped inspire teams to find new ways to stay connected.

Respecting the rights of families to visit loved ones is always a key priority; however, RMBICC management faced many tough decisions, including restrictions imposed by public health agencies under Government guidance. The RMBICC worked closely with local health authorities to ensure minimal disruption to family visits, whilst keeping residents and their relatives informed.
Over the last two years, all RMBICC’s homes have experienced cases of Covid-19, occurring in three distinct waves. The initial ‘Alpha’ wave affected the northern Homes, the ‘Delta’ wave was experienced more in the south, and the most recent ‘Omicron’ wave was widespread. With great regret and sadness, 115 residents passed away with Covid-19 during this two year period. Over 1,000 staff members, about 66% of the workforce, also tested positive, and we are pleased to say they all recovered. These are extraordinary statistics and very much in line with what the wider social care sector experienced.
Fortunately, RMBICC was able to benefit from various Government grants, totalling around £3 M. It responded to the mandating of vaccinations for social care staff and succeeded in retaining most of its workforce. Staff received a financial bonus to recognise how they went beyond the extra mile, and management now has a greater understanding of the importance of mental health and wellbeing for both residents and staff.
The RMBICC has emerged as a more dynamic and inclusive provider of residential, nursing and residential dementia care, with a well skilled workforce who are more resilient for their shared experience.
The RMBICC continues to operate within a challenging social care market. The demand for its services remains strong, and it continues to focus our care and support by living its values and helping to make a positive difference to residents’ lives.
## **Beneficiaries and Public Benefit**
The RMBICC takes great care to ensure that applications for residence in the care homes are considered fairly and without prejudice: based on actual assessed need and a new dependency tool. The majority of admission decisions are made and applied by individual home managers. Only exceptional cases relating to financial hardship are referred to trustees for approval. Up to 30% of all placements are for non-freemasons, reflecting the diversity and added value to the wider community of our services.
The services provided are available to those with financial means or limited financial resources. The RMBICC complies with the Charging for Residential Accommodation Guide (CRAG) issued by the Department of Health. The resident numbers are split broadly 60:40 into those who are self-funding and those who are placed and funded by Local Authorities.
## **Non Operational Properties**
In addition, the Charity runs approximately 64 non-operational properties, including some sheltered units for those who seek independence with minimal care provided.
The charity holds the freehold of 19/20 Great Queen Street which were the former head offices. Through a Special Purpose Vehicle with Latis Homes, the Stability Investment Limited, a subsidiary, was established to build four apartments for sale and the offer of a leasehold shop front. Walker Slater retain the leasehold shop front at 19 Great Queen Street, with one apartment sold and the three remaining to be marketed for sale in 2022/23.

## **Fundraising**
Fundraising remained challenging throughout 2021/22 due to the ongoing restrictions in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We have continue to see strong resilience with donations made through regular direct debits and the use of gift aid envelope for charity collections is returning to pre-Covid-19 levels. In addition the introduction of Digital Donations have offered a further way for members to donate. This new way of making contributions will be heavily promoted over the coming months.
The fundraising committee continues to review both internal and external factors that may affect income generation and a new Donor Engagement Strategy has been developed to enhance how we maintain donations and engage with our donors.
Four Festival appeals concluded in the year including the first Festival for the MCF. Durham 2021 (RMTGB) - £3,477,887, West Lancashire 2021 (MCF) - £3,504,423, Northumberland 2020 (RMBI) - £3,2418,926 and South Wales 2021 (RMBI) - £5,664,893. The trustees are extremely grateful to Brethren and their families from these provinces for their support. The average per capita across these festivals was £757, which is slightly lower than the previous year but reflects the challenges that affected appeals in their final year due to the pandemic. The figure is however higher than the two years previous to last year.

## **Review of the Year**
Whilst lodge activities resumed from June 2021, fund raising activity only restarted in earnest in the second part of the year. Monthly income trends finally exceeded their pre-pandemic levels in February 2022 and have progressed strongly in the first few months of the new financial year 2022/23, bolstered by the Ukraine appeal that has now raised over £1.1 M. The final instalments of the Covid-19 emergency support grants were paid out in May 2021.
Group income of £72.91 M was 7.5% higher than prior year. Fee income for the RMBICC increased by 4.2% to £43.82 M as occupancy slowly increased to an average of 874 (79%) in the homes (prior year: 860, 78%), with homes suffering outbreaks of Covid-19 continuing to be placed on embargo. The impact of the reduction of occupancy from normal target levels of 92% is to diminish revenue by circa £6.5 M per annum. It is expected that the RMBICC will return to the normalised levels of occupancy by 2023/24. Continued Government support was provided through Local Authority grants of £2.62 M (prior year: £2.68 M).
Excluding the RMBICC, group income increased by £3.3 M from the prior year as detailed by the following graphs:

Festival income increased by 8.9% following the resumption of lodge and festival activities. Other donations increased by 24.1% to £4.47 M, including £0.07 M for the Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh memorial fund and £0.52M from the Ukraine appeal.
Rental income of £2.87 M was 98.0% above prior year. £1.87 M of this related to the agreement of heads of terms with the Royal Masonic School (RMS), whereby the £2.4 M rent waiver which supported the school following the impact of Covid-19 and associated lockdown will be included within the interim lease running from 1st September 2020 to 31st August 2026. Accounting standards provide for the rent free amount to be spread over the period of the lease, thus £1.77 M of the charge has been deferred to future years. The RMTGB’s London portfolio has continued to struggle following lockdown with several commercial tenants having decided not to renew their leases which expired during the course of the year. Support has continued to be given, where appropriate, with turnover-based rents to support tenants recovering from lockdown.

## **Review of the Year (continued)**
A number of significant legacies were bequested to group charities during the year with final total of £4.75 M being taken into account, an increase of 32.3% from the prior year.
Expenditure of £93.32 M was 2.5% higher than prior year, including the cost of running care homes of £61.22 M (up 2.8%). Excluding care home activities, expenditure was split as follows:
**----- Start of picture text -----**

87% of expenditure was made for charitable purposes (2021: 88%). Charity grants reduced by 5.9% to £11.81 M as the Covid-19 emergency grants tailed off with expenditure of £0.83 M compared to £3.09 M in the prior year. Works on the backlog costs at the RMS ramped up during the course of the year with an increase in expenditure of 137.7% to £3.17 M. Masonic grants increased by 9.4% to £12.59 M mainly due to the resumption of activity in hospitals in the private sector, with medical grants increased by 112% to £3.73 M.
The net deficit before investment gains/(losses) for the year was £20.40 M (prior year: £23.24 M). The MCF CAIF continued to perform well during the year, both in absolute and relative terms, resulting in gains of £18.17 M (prior year gains: £45.15 M). The CAIF returned 10.3%, ahead of its benchmark (9.8%) and the ARC “steady growth” peer group (7.1%).
Performance of the overall portfolio, including the cash reserve, remained ahead of benchmark and peer group over the three-year horizon. However, there have been a number of headwinds which have impacted upon performance since March, and high rates of inflation will dampen prospects over the coming year.
Other recognised gains/(losses) included an actuarial gain on the RMBI’s pension scheme of £1.88 M (prior year gain: £0.07 M). The scheme now has a surplus of assets over liabilities amounting to £3.96 M
The net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £2.30 M (prior year: £24.05 M).
The Group’s balance sheet remains very strong, with total funds of £416.23 M (prior year: £413.93 M) made up from investments of £255.40 M (61%), investment properties of £41.17 M (10%), RMBI operating properties of £73.49 M (18%), bank balances and short-term deposits of £44.72 M (11%) and other net assets of £1.45 M).

## **MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Reserves Policy**
The key objective of the Charity’s reserves policy is to build up funds which can be applied in accordance with its wider objectives to meet beneficiaries’ needs, wherever they lie. With the exception of The Grand Charity and The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution, the CMCs have specific objectives that may prevent the Group as a whole from applying funds to areas where support is most needed. Their reserves are accordingly treated as restricted funds in the Charity’s group accounts.
Following the commencement of operations of the Charity in April 2016, all future festivals will be targeted to raise funds for this new charity, whilst current grant expenditure is charged to the CMCs. Over time, the reserves of the CMCs will eventually diminish to a minimal level and the occasional legacy, at which time the Charity will take over full responsibility for the CMCs’ objectives.
The overall reserves policy for the group recognises that investment returns provide diversity of income and enables the Charity to operate at a level of circa 50% higher than would otherwise be the case. The policy is to retain the real value of the investment assets in order to maintain this contribution for the foreseeable future.
The RMBICC holds £43.5 M of free reserves that amounts to 9 months of annual expenditure. This is within the target range of 6 to 12 months held to manage the financial and business risks to which the RMBICC is exposed. Total group reserves of £416.23 M (2021: £413.93 M) include £296.57 M set aside to maintain future investment returns for funding additional expenditure in supporting beneficiaries, £67.23 M for replacing operating properties and other fixed assets and £52.43 M to cover operational requirements, primarily in the RMBICC. The current level of reserves is within the range recommended by the trustee board of £350.00 M to £450.00 M, and is kept under regular review.
## **Investment Policy and Performance**
The Group’s global investment strategy seeks to protect the capital value of investments that are required to fund operations for a two-year time horizon (the “Cash Reserve”) and to invest all remaining funds for long term growth, on a total return basis, with an overall objective of making a return of RPI plus 3% net of all expenses.
The Cash Reserve is provided by Royal London Asset Management and utilises three of their funds, which provide a mix of instruments, including cash instruments, Treasury Bills, covered (secured) bonds, corporate bonds, Supranationals and mortgage-backed securities. The performance objectives of the three funds are:
- Short Term Money Market Fund: SONIA
- Cash Plus Fund: SONIA plus 0.50% gross of fees
- Enhanced Cash Plus Fund: SONIA plus 1.00% gross of fees
The Charity sponsored the launch of the Masonic Charitable Foundation Investment Fund CAIF, which took place on 1[st] October 2018. This is a unit trust with a highly efficient tax wrapper in which the MCF and all its subsidiary charities own their shares in the form of units. Units will be sold as required in order to top up the Cash Reserve on a quarterly basis. The investment strategy is directed for “Steady Growth”, which is a medium-high risk strategy. Risk is managed through diversification, with the funds split between four different fund managers operating on multi asset mandates but utilising differing investment management styles. The overall fund manager is Thesis Unit Trust Management Limited and the custodian in Northern Trust.

## **Streamline Energy and Carbon Reporting**
## **Introduction**
The Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018 (“the 2018 Regulations”) implement the Government’s policy on Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR). This legislation came into force on the 1[st] April 2019 and affects:
- quoted companies;
- large unquoted companies (including charitable companies);
- large Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs).
Under SECR large unquoted companies including charitable organisations are obliged to report their UK energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions as a minimum relating to gas, electricity and transport fuel, as well as an intensity ratio and information relating to energy efficiency action, annually through their annual reports.
The Group is a large unquoted company and is required to comply with SECR.
**Reporting requirements:** This is the third year of reporting for MCF Group under SECR. The reporting will be carried out annually and the relevant data and emissions will be included in our Annual Report. Emissions from previous year are also included as required by SECR guidance.

## **Methodology**
We have followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines. We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol – Corporate Standard and have used 2021 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.
MCF group has tried to include 100% of emissions from the parent company and all subsidiaries in the SECR reporting. Apart from the RMBI Care Co. care homes and MCF HQ, the majority of MCF properties are leased out and therefore MCF is not the energy user. Where properties are vacant, billed consumption has been included in the SECR submissions. Although meter readings from our properties were taken on the 31[st] of March 2022, a substantial part of the energy use (electricity) is estimated as billed by the energy suppliers. Some properties showed negative consumption for the reporting year due to corrections in consumption following the meter readings. In addition, grey fleet data is not complete, and the average car conversion factor was used to convert petrol and diesel mileage data as data on car type was not available.
## **Intensity ratio**
The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in metric tonnes CO2e per full time employee (FTE). During 2021/2022 the number of FTE for MCF group was 1,150 which includes FTE for our biggest subsidiary, RMBI (1,060 FTE for 2021-22).
## **Energy efficiency actions**
No energy efficiency actions were taken in this reporting year.
Our overall emissions for 2021-22 have decreased and this is mainly due to conversion factors. Our use of electricity and gas in our properties has increased compared to the previous year as expected due to the fact that our operation is getting back to normal following two years of Covid-19. This is also obvious in our grey fleet data (mileage).
As of 31 March 2022, our agents read the meters and intend to do so going forward. This will ensure that actual figures for electricity and gas will be submitted in future.
MCF company is continuing to work closely with RMBI Care Co. as their largest subsidiary, to address their environmental impacts and reduce their emissions. Since March 2019, RMBI Care Co. has been working with Lantern (UK) Ltd as their trusted sustainability partner and have initiated a number of sustainability projects to address energy consumption within their care homes. RMBI also has a recently adopted Sustainability Strategy.

## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Plans for Future Periods**
In December 2017 the Board approved a five year (2018 – 2022) strategy that outlines the Charity’s activities and priorities for the future. The strategy establishes the Charity’s vision for the Masonic community and wider society and defines its mission statement as “To be a force for good by providing support, care and services to Freemasons and their families in need, and supporting other charities to help the most disadvantaged in society”. The strategy has three strategic goals:
1. To enhance support and services. The Charity will extend the range of its support and services in response to the changing needs of its beneficiaries, and support charities to help those in need across England, Wales and internationally.
2. To improve ways of working. The Charity will measure the impact of its grant-making, services and support and evolve accordingly. It will align and strengthen its relationship with UGLE and the Masonic community, and ensure it is in a position to support those in need for generations to come.
3. To raise profile. The Charity will become known throughout Freemasonry and reach out to wider society to be recognised as a leading charitable foundation in the UK.
The strategic goals will be carried forward into 2022/23 while the charity creates a new strategy for the years ahead. To enable it to achieve these goals over the next 12 months the Charity will undertake the following activities:
- Development of a new long-term strategy for MCF.
- Work closely with the United Grand Lodge of England to ensure its new strategy is aligned with MCF for the benefit of the masonic community.
- Launch of a new digital MCF community fundraising platform.
- Implement a three year programme of internal audit.
- Scaling up of impact and evaluation activities across our grant programmes.
- Ensure smooth transition to a new mobility aid provider.
- Align MCF with a recognised security standard, such as ISO 27001, to ensure appropriate digital security measures are adopted and maintained.
- Development of a relief chest online service that will allow chest holders to securely access and manage their accounts online.
- Deliver new donor engagement initiatives that will enhance the donor experience and improve engagement with donors.
- Support the RMBICC strategic vision for care in the North West of England.
- Undertake the three year salary pay grade benchmarking exercise.
- Undertake and evaluation of the current hybrid working arrangements.

## **MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of the Masonic Charitable Foundation (the “Charitable Company”) and its subsidiaries (‘the Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charity Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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 Group's and the Charitable Company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the Group's 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.
## **Basis of 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 group 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 28 of 83
## **MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
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 course of 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 themselves. 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.
## **Opinion 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’ report, which includes the directors’ report and the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the strategic report and the directors’ report included within the trustees’ 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 Group and the Charitable Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires 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 Charitable Company’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.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 27, the trustees (who are also the directors of the Charitable Company 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 Group’s and Charitable Company’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
Audilor's re3ponsiblllties for the audlt of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether th8 financial stalements as a whole are
free from malenal misslalement, wh8ther due to fraud or error, and lo issue an aLAdilor's report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assuran is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in aGcordanGe with ISAS (UK) will alw8ys detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misslatemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate.
they could reasonably be expected to inflLrence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thes8
financial stal8ments.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedur6s in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl to which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities,
including fraud Is detailed below..
The Group is required to complywilh both company law and charity law and, based on our knowledge
of its activities, we identified that the legal requir8ment lo correctly account for restricted funds is of
key significance. The Group is also required lo comply with the Health and Social Care Act and the
regulations issued Ihereunder and complianc8 with these is a key issue.
We gained an understanding of how the Group complied with its legal and regulatory framework,
including the requirement to properly account for reslricled funds and to comply with the Heath and
So¢ial Care Act, through discussions with management and a review of the documented policies,
procedures and Controls.
The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the Group's su5ceplibility io
material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management
override.
Our approach was to check that all restricted income wa5 properly identified and separately accounted
for and lo ensur8 that only valid and appropriate exp8nditure was charged to reslricled funds. This
included reviewing journal adjuslmenls and unusual transactions. We also reviewed reports ISSU8d
for the care homes. by the Care Quality Commission, to ensure there were no cas8s of non-
compliance.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the

**MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## (a) **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements of the Masonic Charitable Foundation and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with applicable UK accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”). Additionally, they comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102 second edition) published in 2019 (the “SORP”) in all material respects. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## (b)
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments and investment properties, on a basis consistent with previous years. The functional currency of the Group is considered to be Pounds Sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Charity operates.
The Charity commenced activities from 1[st] April 2016. The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption conferred by Section 408 Companies Act 2006 and has not presented a separate charity statement of financial activity.
## (c) **Basic of consolidation**
Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a line by line basis, and uniform accounting policies have been used.
## (d) **Going concern**
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.
The trustees of the Charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the Charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Page 34 of 83
## **MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## (e) **Incoming resources**
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the specific criteria relating to certain of the Group’s revenue channels have been met, as described below:
- i. Monetary donations are brought into account when received.
- ii. Legacies are recognised where there has been a grant of probate, the executors have identified that there are sufficient assets in the estate after settlement of liabilities to pay the legacy and any conditions attached to the legacy are either in control of the Group or have been met. Legacies subject to the interest of a life tenant are not recognised during the lifetime of the life tenant.
- iii. Dividends are reinvested in the CAIF on the date that they are declared.
- iv. Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis, with rent free periods spread over the period of the lease to the next break clause.
## (f) **Resources expended**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Group to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of any obligation can be measured reliably. All resources expended are recognised on an accruals basis, with the exception of grants as noted below.
Expenditure on generating funds includes costs of fundraising and maintenance of festival and donor records, together with the management of the investment and property portfolios. These costs include the allocation of support costs relating to these activities.
Charitable activities are split between masonic activities and grants awarded to external institutions (designated as “non-Masonic” within the SOFA).
Masonic activities include the payment of grants directly to beneficiaries together with related welfare and support costs. Non-Masonic activities consist of the payment of grants to external institutions. Support costs are allocated to these activities on the bases laid out in note 7.
Grants are recognised as expenditure in the year in which the grant is formally approved by the Charity and has been communicated in writing to the recipient, except to the extent that it is subject to conditions that enable the Group to revoke the award.
The provision for multi-year grants is recognised at its present value when settlement is due over more than one year from the date of the award, there are no unfulfilled performance conditions under the control of the Group that would permit it to avoid making future payments, settlement is probable and the effect of discounting is material. The discount rate used is the long-term return of inflation plus 4 percent used as the target for the Group’s investment portfolio.

**MASONIC CHARITABLE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## (g) **Employees**
All staff are employed by the Charity and recharged to subsidiary charities based upon the relative number of grants processed by those charities.
## (h) **Fund accounting**
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors and/or for the purposes for which they are raised. The aim of each material restricted fund is set out in note 18. Unrestricted funds may be utilised for any purpose in accordance with the charitable objectives of the Group.
## (i) **Intangible fixed assets**
Intangible fixed assets, consisting of computer software, held by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Intangible fixed assets are subject to review for impairment when there is an indication of a reduction in their carrying value. They are reviewed annually and any impairment is recognised in the year in which it occurs. The threshold for capitalisation is £10,000 and depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset less its residual value over its useful life, estimated at 4 years. Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated until available for use.
## (j) **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets, excluding land and investment properties, held by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Land is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Fixed assets are subject to review for impairment when there is an indication of a reduction in their carrying value. They are reviewed annually and any impairment is recognised in the year in which it occurs. Assets in the course of construction are stated at cost and not depreciated until available for use. The threshold for capitalisation is £10,000.
In line with the revised FRS102, depreciation for freehold and leasehold properties (with a lease life of more than 50 years) have been provided on a straight line basis at rates between 2% to 10%, depending on its useful economic life of the component parts of properties. Depreciation is calculated on other assets using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset less its residual value over its estimated useful life, as follows:

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## (k) **Investment properties**
Investment properties are measured at fair value by third party professional valuers on an annual basis using RICS Red Book valuation rules. Gains or losses are recognised within the Statement of Financial Activities. No depreciation is provided on investment properties. They are reviewed annually and any impairment is recognised in the year in which it occurs.
## (l) **Social Investment Property – Royal Masonic School**
This social investment property has been valued through the discounting of expected future lease payments using a yield of 5.5% as the cost of capital, less the residual value of the provision for backlog repairs. This provision is being released back to the endowment fund in line with the works being completed and charged to the unrestricted general reserve. The provision for backlog repairs is reviewed on an annual basis, and adjusted as required in accordance with the evolving cost for the planned works. Gains or losses are recognised within the Statement of Financial Activities. No depreciation is provided on social investment properties.
## (m) **Investments**
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are stated at market value. All realised and unrealised gains and losses are recognised within the Statement of Financial Activities. Investments which the Group holds for resale or pending their sale and cash or cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year, which are held for investment purposes, are disclosed as current asset investments.
## (n) **Financial assets and liabilities**
The Group has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities which qualify as basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discounts. They are subsequently valued at amortised cost and assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. Where settlement is not expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date, then the asset or liability is discounted using the long term return of inflation plus 4 percent used as the target for the Group’s investment portfolio **.** Basic financial instruments include debtors, cash and creditors within the balance sheet.
## (o) **Provisions**
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## (p) **Contingencies**
Contingent liabilities are potential future cash outflows, where the likelihood of payment is considered more than remote, but is not considered probable or cannot be measured reliably. These are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Contingent assets are potential future cash inflows of economic benefits where the likelihood of receipt is considered more than remote, but is not considered probable or cannot be measured reliably. These are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
## (q) **Foreign currencies**
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Pounds Sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Pounds Sterling at the rate ruling at the balance sheet date. All foreign exchange gains and losses, realised and unrealised, are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## (r) **Taxation**
The Group is exempt from taxation on its income and gains falling within Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that they are applied to its charitable activities. The Group is unable to recover Valued Added Tax (VAT) incurred on expenditure except on property related costs where an option to tax has been taken and the development of new investment properties. The amount of VAT that cannot be recovered is included within the underlying cost to which it relates.
## (s) **Pension costs**
Defined contribution pension plans are accounted for in the year in which the contributions are payable. Differences arising between contributions payable and amounts actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the Balance Sheet.
Multi-employer defined benefit pension plans are accounted for on the same basis as defined contribution plans. Where there is an agreement in place to fund a past service deficit, full provision is made for the total deficit contributions payable.
Other defined benefit pension plans are accounted for based on actuarial estimations of scheme liabilities and the fair value of scheme assets. Actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and are updated at each balance sheet date. The resulting defined benefit asset or liability is separately disclosed on the Balance Sheet. Net interest costs arising on the assets and liabilities are included as part of charitable activities. Actuarial gains and losses arising are included under other recognised gains and losses.

Investment properties consist of freehold properties in Great Queen Street and Parker Street, London WC2 and land at Rickmansworth Park Estate and Bushey Grange. The properties were valued by Gould and Co as at 31[st] March 2022 based on open market value, assuming that the properties would be sold subject to existing tenancies. Due to the long term nature of ownership the exact historical cost of the properties is unknown, however, for the purposes of calculating the revaluation reserve it has been estimated at £7,321k. Capitalised development costs of £1.1 M have been added to the agricultural land value for Bushey Grange in the expectation that these will be significantly exceeded by surpluses arising from future development.

There were three defined benefit schemes operated by subsidiaries of the Charity. These were as follows:
- a) TGC Grand Lodge Pension Scheme was a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme which was in deficit and to which the participating employers were making fixed contributions to fund the shortfall. The Section 75 liability was bought out on 23[rd] July 2018.
- b) RMTGB Pension Scheme was a closed defined benefit scheme and a buy-in/buy-out agreement has been entered into with a third party pension provider whereby the latter has assumed full liability for the scheme, including all future pension payments.

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## 16 **. PROVISIONS FOR PENSIONS (Continued)**
- c) RMBI Pension Scheme is a defined benefit scheme closed to new entrants and to future accrual. The provision represents the excess of the present value of defined benefit obligations over the market value of the scheme assets.
In addition, the Charity runs a defined contribution scheme with Royal London.
## RMTGB Pension Scheme
A subsidiary charity, the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys (“RMTGB”) operated a defined benefit pension scheme, the RMTGB Staff Pension Scheme (the “Scheme”). It entered into a “buy-in/buy-out” arrangement with Pension Insurance Corporation (“PIC”) whereby the latter has assumed the liabilities of the Scheme and undertaken to make all future payments due under the scheme. Due diligence on the transaction was completed by September 2017 at which time the final instalment was paid to PIC on the formal transfer of the Scheme.
There were two participating employers: the RMTGB (the “Sponsoring employer” and the Royal Masonic School for Girls Limited (the “School”). The RMTGB has entered into an arrangement with the School where by the School will repay to the Charity, the School’s 24% of the Scheme’s wind up and closure costs. The period of the loan is for ten years. Interest is charged at the Bank of England’s base rate. The School is currently repaying off the loan in monthly instalments of £12k per month.
Movements on the liabilities on the scheme in the year are detailed as follows:

## RMBI Pension Schemes
The RMBI operates two pension schemes. One of these pension schemes is a defined contribution scheme. The other is a defined benefits pension scheme, which was closed to new entrants on 4th September 1996. The defined benefits scheme was also closed for the existing employees in September 2010.
## **i.** Defined contribution
The RMBI operates a defined contribution pension scheme. During the year the charity made payments totalling £773k (2021 - £763k).
## **ii.** Defined benefit
The RMBI Pension and Life Assurance Fund ("the Fund") is a funded defined benefit arrangement which provides retirement benefits based on final pensionable salary.
The valuation used for FRS102 disclosures has been based on a full assessment of the liabilities of the Fund. On 30 September 2010 the scheme stopped accruing benefits to its members and all the employees at that time were transferred to the Group Personal Pension Scheme. Hence, there is no current service cost for the defined benefit scheme and all contributions in note 9 relates to the defined contribution scheme.
**iii** . Principal actuarial assumptions at the balance sheet date:
The results of the last valuation as at 31 March 2019 have been updated to 31 March 2022 by a qualified independent actuary. The assumptions used were as follows:
|Significant actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate
Rate of inflation (RPI)
Rate of inflation (CPI)
Other actuarial assumptions:
Rate of increase in pensionable salaries
Rate of increase in pensions – Post 88 GMP
Rate of increase in pensions – Pre 97 XS

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## 22. **RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**
- a) The Charity has paid out grants on behalf of the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys, The Grand Charity and the Masonic Samaritan Fund during the year, and has been reimbursed by these charities. Additionally, the Charity has borne all the administrative costs of supporting the above subsidiary charities. The Charity has recharged a proportion of these costs to its subsidiary charities based upon the relative number of grants processed.
- b) RMBI Pension Trust Limited
RMBI Pension Trust Limited is the sole trustee of the RMBI Pension Scheme, the defined benefit scheme of RMBICC. RMBICC pays pensions on behalf of the RMBI Pension scheme. The total amount payable to the RMBICC, by the Pension (Scheme), as at 31 March 2022 was £ Nil (2021: £ Nil).
## i) United Grand Lodge of England
As laid out in the trustees report on page 7, the appointment of trustees is approved by the Grand Master on the recommendation of the Grand Master’s Council. The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) co-ordinates the collection of the annual contribution made by its members for supporting the Charity. UGLE provides part of the lower ground floor of Freemasons Hall to the Charity to accommodate its staff and operations. The lease is rent free but allows for the recovery of an appropriate proportion of costs through a service charge.

## 25. **COVID-19 PANDEMIC**
Following the end of the Government imposed lockdown in 2021 there has been a resumption in festival activities which has resulted in voluntary income recovering to close to pre-pandemic levels over the last few months of the year, and this has continued strongly into the new financial year 2022/23. Increased footfall in the Covent Garden area has improved the business prospects of the tenants in the Group’s properties in Great Queen Street and rental incomes have recovered significantly as a result.
RMBICC revenues are driven by occupancy levels, and whilst these have improved over the year, they are not expected to recover fully to normal levels until 2024/25.
## 26. **LIABILITY OF MEMBERS**
The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the Charity being wound up each of the members would be required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
