## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Organisation** 

The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and its governing document is its articles of association. 

The Charity was renamed from MTGB Nominees on 17[th] October 2016. The unrestricted assets from the unincorporated trust were transferred to the Charity with effect from 1[st] February 2017 following a resolution from the trustees made on 15 December 2016. 

As the trustees consist of the MCF and the chairman of the MCF, the MCF exercises control over the Charity, and will consolidate the Charity’s results in its group accounts. Details of the processes for the appointment, induction and training of the MCF’s trustees are given in the annual report and accounts of that company. 

## **Governance and Management** 

All governance and management capabilities are provided by the MCF and details of the relevant committees and processes are provided in the annual report and accounts of that company. Trustees and committees of the MCF address the specific needs of the Charity as part of their roles and responsibilities for the MCF. The trustee board and the main committees meet as follows: 

|**Board/Committee**|**Purpose**|**Meetings per**<br>**year **|

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Objects** 

The objects of the Charity shall be for the relief of poverty and the advancement of education by: 

- the assistance of such children (including adopted children, step-children and children of the family) of any age of Freemasons under the United Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of England as the trustees consider from time to time are in need of assistance; 

- if and to the extent to which the resources of the Charity are not used for the foregoing purpose, assisting any child or children of any age whether or not the child or children of a Freemason. 

Whilst the primary objective relates to support for the dependents of Freemasons, in 2021/22 the Charity continued to expand its secondary objective of helping other children through provision of grants to nonmasonic registered charities seeking to alleviate the effects of child poverty. 

Within the guidelines set down by the governing documents, the Charity took every practical precaution to ensure that all applications are considered fairly and without prejudice. 

## **Volunteers** 

In addition to the immeasurable assistance provided by charity stewards in supervising the fundraising efforts within their own lodges or provinces, provinces sponsoring petitions are invited to nominate a case almoner to assist and act as the link between the Charity and the child and parents or guardian. The assistance given by the case almoners and all other voluntary workers associated with the Charity enable it to maximise effectiveness and help meet its objectives. 

The Charity recognises that the welfare of all children is paramount and that all children and young people, regardless of ability or culture, have equal rights of protection. The Charity has a duty of care and will do everything it can to provide a safe and caring environment to ensure their safety. The Charity has written policies on safeguarding children and young people as well as the adults who work with them, which govern the recruitment, selection, training and behaviour of staff and volunteers, and any others likely to come into contact with children. 

## **Activities** 

Assistance is provided in a variety of ways to meet the primary objectives of the Charity that are to relieve poverty and advance education. 

Children and young people are supported in a wide range of educational settings, including state and private schools, colleges and universities. Support is aimed at helping beneficiaries to live in Masonic families that are healthy, stable and secure. Children are provided with specific support to receive the education and training they need to achieve their potential and to succeed in life. The Charity will assist with academic study or with apprenticeships for practical trades. It also aims to enhance its beneficiaries’ lives with opportunities for educational travel and professional extra-curricular activities. Grants are assessed against eligibility criteria, the guidelines for which are reviewed regularly.

## **ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Activities (Continued)** 

Financial support can be given in the form of daily living expense grants, school or course fees, computer equipment, grants for music and sports lessons, educational travel, equipment and materials and to meet any other needs which might be identified. 

Additional support is provided through a community-based advice and support team and an office-based team of case advisors. They guide potential beneficiaries through the application process and provide ongoing support and advice to families already in receipt of grants. The advice and support team spend the majority of their time visiting families in their own homes. This specialist team possesses a broad range of expertise available to support families through difficult situations and to ensure that they can access all sources of help available to them. 

The TalentAid scheme helps children and young people who are exceptionally gifted in music, sport and the performing arts. Grants are awarded to assist with on-going costs such as sports coaching, advanced music lessons and school or college fees at specialist institutions. One-off grants are paid to purchase items such as musical instruments and sports equipment or towards attendance at a particular event. All grants are financially assessed. 

The Stepping Stones scheme, which aimed to reduce child poverty by supporting other registered charities working with the most deprived and disadvantaged children, was subsumed within the MCF’s charity grants activity from 1[st] April 2016. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

- The Charity has successfully merged its Masonic grant-making activities under the MCF, resulting in a single point of contact and support for all those within the Masonic community seeking help with health and care needs.  Through the creation of GAMES (Grant Application Management and Evaluation System) it can now manage, monitor and report on all grants and enquiry activity. 

- GAMES also allows trained volunteers to submit and monitor applications for support online in their own regions. 

- From 1 April 2016 RMTGB activities were carried out by the MCF.  Through the MCF 2,383 grants were awarded to 1,884 beneficiaries in the current year with a total value of £4.56 M after write back from prior years. 

- For the furtherance of the charities’ purpose for the public benefit, 386 grants totalling £2.87 M were awarded to non-Masonic causes by the MCF on behalf of the RMTGB. 

## **Public Benefit Test** 

The trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. The primary objective of the Charity is to relieve poverty and advance the education of children and young adults considered to be in need. Support is predominantly restricted to children of the family of a Freemason under the English constitution. 

Page 7 of 43 



## **ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Public Benefit Test (Continued)** 

There are over 200,000 active Freemasons in England and Wales. In addition there are a significant number of dependents of those Freemasons and, therefore, a large and diverse pool of potential beneficiaries. When funds permit, the Charity awards grants to other charities operating in a similar field of relief and this is currently demonstrated by the support given through the MCF’s charity grants programme. The trustees are therefore satisfied that the requirements of the Public Benefit Test have, and continue to be met. 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Review of the Year** 

With the last RMTGB festival winding down, the principal funding sources are now investment returns from the MCF CAIF and the Charity’s property portfolio. Income of £3.15 M was 28% lower than the prior year. The Charity is most grateful for the sterling efforts made by its organising committees and generous donations of time and money by Brethren. Investment income of £2.56 M was 22% lower than prior year, mainly due to continuing relief given through rent waivers to a number of the Charity’s commercial London tenants in order to support them through the Covid-19 lockdowns. Rental income is expected to recover significantly during the course of the next financial year. 

Expenditure of £10.54 M was 10% lower than the prior year. Grant expenditure of £7.42 M was 13% lower than the previous year, primarily due to £1.01 M incurred in the prior year to support the wider community through foodbanks, support for carers and domestic abuse. 

Investment gains of £ 9.40 M were 59% lower than prior year due to the significant recovery in world stock markets from June 2020, as well the strong relative performance of the MCF CAIF. The surplus for the year was £3.81 M compared to a prior year surplus of £16.72 M. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Following the commencement of operations of the MCF in April 2016, all new festivals have been targeted to raise funds for this new charity, which has wide objects to direct grants to where support is most needed. As a result, voluntary income for the Charity has declined significantly to minimal levels over the past two years. The policy is to prioritise the payment of all grants that fall under the objectives of the Charity through the reserves of the Charity before drawing upon the resources of the MCF. Consequently, it is planned that the Charity’s reserves will eventually diminish to a minimal level and the occasional legacy, at which time the MCF will take over full responsibility for the continuation of the Charity’s objects. 

The Charity’s trustees have determined that a separate designated reserve be created to identify the expected future support to be provided to existing beneficiaries to cover their educational needs up to the age of 21. The Existing Beneficiaries Reserve was set up in 2016/17 to recognise this moral commitment. The commitment was revalued to £42.66 M in 2022 and a transfer of £2.01 M was made to the general reserve.

## **Investment Policy and Performance** 

The MCF global investment strategy seeks to protect the capital value of investments that are required to fund operations for a three-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 MCF 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 is Northern Trust. 

The asset allocation for the CAIF was amended on 1[st] April 2019 by the investment committee following advice from Asset Risk Consultants. The strategic and actual asset allocations as at 31[st] March 2021 are shown in the following table: 

|hown in the following table:||||
|---|---|---|---|
|**Asset Class**|**Strategic**<br>**Allocation**|**Benchmark**|**Actual 31st**<br>**March**<br>**2022**|

The CAIF has continued to perform strongly during the year, hitting a peak of just over £133.00 per unit at 31[st] December. It fell back in the final quarter due to geopolitical and inflationary concerns, but recovered strongly in the latter part of March. As at 31[st] March 2022, the CAIF was valued at £129.73 per unit. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

All future grant-making and support activities will be managed through the MCF, but those relating to the Charity’s objects will be recharged back to it. With all new festivals being linked to the MCF, this will result in reserves being depleted over a period of time. The Charity will continue to receive income from its investments, which will extend the remaining lifetime of the Charity. 

Key activities being planned for the future by the MCF on behalf of the Charity are provided in the annual report and accounts of the MCF.

## **ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBER OF THE ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys (the ‘Charitable Company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, 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 Charitable Company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **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 charitable company 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 13 of 43 



## **ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBER OF THE ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

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 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: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the 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 12, 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

¢onducled in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always delect a material misstalemenl when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in Ihe aggregate
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial slalemènls.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instan￿S of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
pr¢xedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. to detect material misslatem6nls in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The 8xlent to which our procedures are Capable of detectlng irregulari118S,
in¢luding fraud is detailed below..
The Charitable Cornpany is required to comply with both company law and charity law and, based
on our knowledge of ils aclivilies, we identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for
any restricted funds was of key significance.
We gained an understanding ofhow the Charltable Company complied with ils legal and regulatory
fram6work, including the réquirement lo properfy account for any reslricled funds. through
discussions with management and a review of the documented policies, procedures and controls.
The audit team, which is experienced in the audil of charities, considered the charitable company's
susceptibility to material misstalemenl and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the
risk of management override.
Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately
accounted for and lo ensure that only valid and appropriate exi)endilur8 was charged lo reslricled
funds. This included reviewing journal adjuslmenls and unusual transactions.

**ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## (a) **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements of the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys (the “Charity”) 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 Charity is considered to be Pounds Sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Charity operates. 

## (c) **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.

**ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## (d) **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 Charity and when the specific criteria relating to each of the Charity’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 Charity 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. 

## (e) **Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that 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 6. 

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 Charity 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 Charity 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 Charity’s investment portfolio.

**ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## (f) **Employee benefits** 

All staff are employed by the parent charity, The Masonic Charitable Foundation, and recharged to the Charity based upon the relative number of grants processed. Information relating to those employees is given in the accounts of the Masonic Charitable Foundation. 

## (g) **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds may be utilised for any purpose in accordance with the charitable objectives of the Charity. The trustees have designated certain of these funds for specific purposes, as described in note 14, but are not legally bound to utilise unrestricted funds in this manner. 

## (h) **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets, excluding land and investment properties, held by the Charity 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 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset less its residual value over its estimated useful life, as follows: 

||Asset|Years|
|---|---|---|
|i.|Leasehold improvements and furniture|10|
|ii.|Motor vehicles, computers and equipment|4|



## (i) **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.

**ROYAL MASONIC TRUST FOR GIRLS AND BOYS** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## (j) **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 Charity 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. 

## (k) **Financial assets and liabilities** 

The Charity has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Charity 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 Charity’s investment portfolio **.** Basic financial instruments include debtors, cash and creditors within the balance sheet. 

## (l) **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. 

## (m) **Taxation** 

The Charity 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 Charity is unable to recover Valued Added Tax (VAT) incurred on expenditure except on property related costs where an option to tax has been taken. The amount of VAT that cannot be recovered is included within the underlying cost to which it relates.

Investment properties consist of freehold properties at 24 to 26 and 30 to 32 Great Queen 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 £7,321,000.
