## **HIGHWAY ONE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the CIO'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 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Charity's purpose is of general benefit to the public, as it will make grants to other organisations and therefore will indirectly advance the benefits provided by those charities. In addition, the Charity will support other organisations by non-financial means, helping those organisations to fulfil their own charitable purposes.  It operates as a grant making organisation. 

The Charity has wide objects, enabling it to benefit any purpose which is charitable under the law of England and Wales. 

The Trustees will achieve the Charity's purpose primarily by making grants and providing support and advice to other registered UK charities and to international charities, or to other non-profit making bodies, running programmes relating to the Charity's objects. 

Grants will be made, and support and advice offered, to such charities and on such terms as the Trustees consider are most appropriate to further the Charity's objects. The key objects on which we are focussing are: 

- 1 Disfiguring medical conditions 2 Mental Health 3 Prison and injustice 4 Poverty, economic regeneration and homelessness 5 Internet and mobile networks 6 Singleness 7 Christianity and religious practice 

As stated on the Trust's website, www.highwayonetrust.com, the overall ambition of the Highway One Trust is to help those who are following long roads and difficult paths towards long term and lasting change. It could support initiatives that are simple and practical but generally it is not about quick relief or “in/out" interventions or activities that may get lots of media attention. All grants made will be subject to monitoring and evaluation to ensure that they achieve the intended outcome, outputs or impact. 

The charity was registered as a CIO - Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2015 and during 2017 adopted formal grant making procedures. 

## **Grant making process** 

The Trust Director and Trust Administrator work the equivalent of one day a week each in a freelance capacity. They have been appointed to manage the day-to-day concerns of the Trust. Their responsibilities include researching appropriate charities, managing a two-stage application process and presenting suitable grant applications to the Trustees at quarterly meetings. They are also responsible for ensuring grant conditions are met and monitoring of these grants is carried out. 

## **Plans for the future** 

The Trustees will continue to approve grants at quarterly meetings, and it is anticipated that they will approve between three and eight applications at each of these meetings. Grants will continue to range from £3,000 to £15,000, and can be applied for core, capital, or project costs. However, in the case of a larger organisation, with a clearly identifiable project which meets the Trusts criteria, a charity may be invited to apply for a larger amount. Where appropriate, the Trustees will consider the option of awarding multi-year funding, however this will usually be with charities that have received an initial grant from the charity and a relationship has developed. 

In addition, the Trustees are open to supporting initiatives outside of the grant making process if they can be seen to support the objects of the Trust. These will be considered on a case by case basis.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the CIO for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the CIO and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HIGHWAY ONE TRUST** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Highway One Trust (the CIO) for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the CIO’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

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

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011. 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **HIGHWAY ONE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Highway One Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the CIO'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 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The CIO is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The CIO has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the CIO. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the CIO is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the CIO has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis inclusive of VAT. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

- 11 - 



## **HIGHWAY ONE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land and buildings 

over 50 years 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the CIO reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the CIO’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.10 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the CIO is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

- 12 - 



## **HIGHWAY ONE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the CIO’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
