THE ROWLAND BROTHERS FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 Se The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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 Foundation's constitution, 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 Foundation's objects are to relieve the mental and physical sickness and the financial hardship of persons resident in the area who are suffering from bereavement by the provision of counselling, financial and other support. The foundation also seeks to assist in the preservation of war memorials and other public monuments in the area commemorating figures of historical importance.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Foundation should undertake.

Achievements and performance

The charity’s income increased in the year as the Trustees took the decision to build up the reserves. The charity's various partners continued to make regular donations to fund the activities of the charity.

One of the key objectives of the charity is to provide a bereavement counselling service and this is an area which has continued to thrive in the year under review by moving towards sessions via live webinar. The level of memorial restorations has increased slightly, as planned by the trustees. This is expected to continue over a longer term after the period under review.

Financial review

At 31 March 2021, the Foundation's reserves were in surplus by £60,645 (2020: deficit £1,931) following donations of £140,423 (2020: £31,395) and charitable expenditure of £77,847 (2020: £57,195).

It is the policy of the Foundation that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between one and three month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level, coupled with the support of its partners, will ensure that they will be able to continue the Foundation’s current activities without interruption. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. The trustees have acknowledged that the Balance Sheet shows a higher than required unrestricted fund of £60,645, which is due to the receipt of a large, one-off donation of £60,000 on 30 March 2021.

Structure, governance and management

The Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation. The Foundation is governed by the rules and regulations set down in its Constitution dated 28 February 2017.

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mr S NA Rowland Mr ABA Rowland MBE Mr G Bruce (Resigned 14 August 2020) Mr M Spooner (Appointed 20 July 2020) Mr J Walking (Appointed 20 July 2020) Mr N Redman (Appointed 20 July 2020)

Trustees are recruited based on their skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Foundation. Trustees are appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

See

1 Accounting policies Charity information The Rowland Brothers Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is 299 - 305 Whitehorse Road, West Croydon, Surrey. The Foundation is a public benefit entity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Foundation's constitution, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” ("FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The Foundation is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Foundation has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Foundation. 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 Foundation 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. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 1.4 Income Income is recognised when the Foundation 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 Foundation 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. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Foundation has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

THE ROWLAND BROTHERS FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 I 1Accounting policies (Continued) 1.5 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a . third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount : of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis when a liability is incurred. Expenditure is inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Donations payable are accounted for when the charity is committed to paying them. 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. 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:

Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line

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.

The Foundation has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Foundation's balance sheet when the Foundation becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ii “= a Ye
