THE MONDAY CHARITABLE TRUST

Subsidiary Company

The charity has one subsidiary company, Chelsea Estates Limited. The Company did not actively trade in the year and as its results are immaterial to the group, no consolidated financial statements have been prepared.

Management

The Trustees have delegated certain responsibilities to Committees in accordance with the Articles.

The Management and Operations (Ops) Committee consists of at least two Trustees and the General Manager as well as advisers. The Ops Committee reviews the financial and governance arrangements for the Charity and advises the Board accordingly on matters including financial management, risk management and the financial audit. The Ops Committee is responsible for reporting to the Trustees on investment and property matters and directing the Investment Managers as appropriate.

The Charity has also appointed a Social Investment Committee (formerly a Programme Related Investment Committee) (the Tuesday Committee) consisting of at least two Trustees and the General Manager to consider Social Investment opportunities. The Tuesday Committee reviews these opportunities and obtains advice on them as needed and then advises the Board on the level of investment and terms.

An Investment Committee consisting of at least one Trustee and the General Manager was set up when meet half yearly with the new Investment Managers, CCLA Investment Management Limited ( CCLA ) and Sarasin & Partners ( Sarasin ), to discuss investment policy and monitor performance.

There are no paid staff within the Charity. Financial management, risk management and administration are the responsibility of the General Manager.

Objectives, Principal Activities and Public Benefit

The primary objects of the Charity, as stated in its governing document, are to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) in any part of the world as the Trustees see fit from time to time.

The Trustees confirm that they have refe grantmaking policy for the year.

ance on public benefit including the 2011, consider that the purposes and activities of the Charity satisfy the requirements of the public benefit test set out in section 4 of the same Act. The Charity carries out these objects by providing

Grantmaking Policy

During the year, the Trustees engaged New Philanthropy Capital to assist them in a strategic review of their aims for the Charity, which the Trustees intend to reflect in both their investment and grantmaking policies.

As regards grantmaking, the Trustees agreed that the Charity should have the Young People, Mental Health and Social Mobility and Inequality.

The Charity aims to improve life chances of disadvantaged and often marginalised groups in the UK by supporting UK registered charities that work in the Charity's areas of intended impact (see above).

THE MONDAY CHARITABLE TRUST

Whilst we will continue to support direct service provision to help those in need, we are increasingly interested in funding programmes which address or seek to identify the root causes of issues, as we believe that such programmes will deliver the greatest social impact over the long term. We regard the Charity as a long-term funder which is able to be flexible and independent and respond to changing needs in society and we are willing to support innovative ideas for tackling problems.

The Trustees have an agreed grantmaking policy for the Charity, which is reviewed on an annual basis.

The Trustees carry out three types of grantmaking: Strategic, Intermediate and Discretionary.

Strategic grants

These are large grants which are made over a two to three year period to support a particular project. The total value of Strategic grants awarded each cycle would normally be around £5.4m, payable in three annual instalments. This level will be reviewed in each cycle. The cycle of Strategic grants for 2023 to 2025 was agreed in June 2023 and was £5.32m

The Trustees have a selection process in place to identify charities which criteria. Beneficiaries are required to provide reports on a half-yearly and annual basis. The last cycle came to an end in June 2023 with all the recipients completing the cycle and reporting as required in their Agreements. A new cycle started in June 2023 and new Strategic grants were entered into with the Access Project and Khulisa. The Mental Health Foundation and Construction Youth Trust have both started their second cycle as Strategic grant recipients.

Intermediate grants

These are mid-level grants and made over a two to three year period to support a project but not as large as a Strategic grant. Generally, they would not exceed £150,000 to each charity payable in three annual instalments. The total value of Intermediate grants awarded in each cycle was increased in 2024 to £1.65m over a three-year cycle. Beneficiaries have to report annually on progress to the Trustees.

The previous cycle of Intermediate grants was entered into for a three-year term which ended in December 2023. A new cycle of Intermediate grants was agreed by the Trustees in June 2024, with the successful applicants being Bloomsbury Football Foundation, Literacy Pirates, Frontline, Refugee Education UK, School Home Support, Carbon Tracker, Kinship - Grandparents Plus and The Fore, with -ED programme. The first payments under this cycle will be made in December 2024.

Discretionary grants

These grants are reviewed by the Trustees on a six-monthly basis at their meetings. The Trustees have supported the Big Give Christmas Challenge since 2020 and intend to support it in 2024. They are pleased to see how much a donation made under this scheme can be increased by the match funding provided. In 2023 the Trustees agreed that the donation of £200,000 should be split as to £160,000 plus costs to the Christmas Challenge and the balance plus costs should be used to support the Big Give Green Match Fund. The Trustees will also donate a further £250,000 to discretionary beneficiaries in accordance with the agreed budget each year.

Emergency grants

Because of the flooding caused by a dam being blown up in Ukraine, the Trustees resolved to make an Emergency grant of £50,000 to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, paid via the Big Give which attracted match funding. The Trustees approved an emergency fund of £50,000, reduced from

Property

At the year end, the Charity held only three of its former portfolio of commercial properties, of which one ew of its satisfactory income stream. The other two properties will be sold when market conditions permit. The Charity also owns seven flats across two apartment blocks in Slough which have been affected by external cladding issues. Once these issues are resolved, it is the

Cash

The management of cash from the sales of property is carefully monitored and is largely invested in money market accounts with JP Morgan. When needed, the Trustees will consider withdrawing income from its investment portfolio, which is currently re-invested.

Achievements and Performance

Grants have been made to various charities (detailed in note 5 to the accounts). The Charity continues to monitor the performance of a range of existing medium and long-term projects across the spectrum the requirement for public benefit. However, in certain cases, it is not possible to quantify the number of potential ultimate beneficiaries.

Review of Activities

and Environmental Crises with a focus on young people, mental health and social mobility and inequality.

The cycle of Strategic grants which started in 2023 will be completed in 2025/26 and benefited Springboard Foundation, Client Earth, the Access Project, Khulisa and Construction Youth Trust. Construction Youth Trust and the Mental Health Foundation are both in a second Strategic grant cycle.

The grants to each of these recipients were for the following programmes:

Income

The total income for the year ended 31 March 2024 was £3.21m (31 March 2023: £4.52m). Income -off gift of a property worth £1.6m

Expenditure

Total Expenditure during the year ended 31 March 2024 increased to £7.15m from £1.69m in 2022/23. This increase was due to the impact of accruing all of the triennial round of strategic grants in 2023/24, amounting to £5.32m, whereas there were no such accruals in 2022/23. Other expenditure changed only modestly in the year.

Investment Policy

During the year the Trustees instructed an external independent consultant, Portfolio Review Services, to carry out a review of Mercer, their former Investment Manager. This resulted in a decision to seek new investment m

Partners were selected from a shortlist of several investment managers and were duly appointed. Investment management agreements with both companies were entered into in July 2024.

The Trustees intend to revise their Investment Policy Statement in the near future. Currently, its main provisions are:

between the environmental impact of investments and the goals set by the Paris/Glasgow climate change accords to limit global warming.

Impact investing:

Investment portfolio

CCLA and Sarasin are the investment managers and act on a fully delegated basis. The Trustees have agreed an investment policy and, as stated above, have asked both Investment Managers to operate on a total return basis with income reinvested. A benchmark of CPI + 4% is applied to the portfolio. CCLA and Sarasin send performance reports monthly and full reports quarterly to the Trustees and General Manager.

The Investment Committee will meet with CCLA and Sarasin on a half yearly basis before the Ops Committee meetings to review the detail of the portfolios. They report to the Ops Committee at the Ops Committee meetings. The Trustees also review this at their meetings every half year. The total investment portfolio was valued at £76.3m on 31 March 2024, (2023: £68.9m).

year, where policies. In 2023/24, the market and interest rate environment stabilised resulting in investment gains of £5.7m. Looking ahead, CCLA and Sarasin, acting on the Trus market conditions and adapt its investment policy to changing circumstances as appropriate. The total return policy will be maintained until such time as the Trustees decide to change this.

Property portfolio

In March 2021 the Trustees appointed a property consultant, Redstone Thinks Ltd, to review the commercial property portfolio and advise on the disposal programme and whether capital investment was required in the properties before they were marketed for sale.

Based on the advice received, the Trustees continued with the property portfolio disposal in order to achieve greater investment diversification and reduce administrative costs. Several properties were sold in the year, realising around £3.6m by the year end, with a further £0.4m being raised after the yearend.

8

THE MONDAY CHARITABLE TRUST

Because of the current economic conditions and the type of property remaining in the portfolio, the timing of any sales of the remaining commercial properties will be contingent on receiving the right offer for the property in the current market conditions.

The Trustees have also undertaken a disposal programme of their residential portfolio. This process is managed by Hicks Baker as and when the properties become vacant or after notice is given to the present tenants. During the year two properties were sold.

The remaining residential portfolio comprises seven flats in two apartment blocks in Slough which continue to be affected by cladding/external wall issues. These flats are generating rental income but are not currently saleable. The position is being closely monitored and advice has been obtained may be made against the developers, building contractors and architects, as well as under any building guarantees and Government funding schemes.

Social Investments

The Trustees have made various Social Investments which are held outside the main investment portfolio. Social Investments are investments made in other charitable organisations for specific (often able objects. These investments primarily aim to achieve a social impact and are also intended to produce a financial return for the charity, being repayable with interest and/or with a return of capital to the Charity at the end of the term.

In the Investment Policy Statement the Trustees have agreed an allocation of up to 15% of the value of impact on environmental crises and Impact Investments (being investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return). In 2019, the Trustees made secured loans of £1.8m to assist with the purchase of residential properties n charitable purposes:

In 2021, £1.5m was committed to two funds managed by Resonance: the Women in Safe Homes Fund (WISH) and the Resonance Everyone in Fund (REIF). Funds are invested when drawdowns are requested by the fund manager. As at 31 March 2024, the Charity had invested £550,000 in the WISH Fund and was fully invested (£750,000) in the REIF Fund.

In 2022, the Trustees agreed to provide a loan facility of £1m to the Powell-Cotton Trust (PCT), to enable it to undertake its educational charitable activities, of which £250,000 was drawn down by PCT in February 2023 and repaid in full in April 2024. The facility is no longer required.

In February 2024, the Trustees agreed to provide a loan of £900,000 to Derbyshire Wildlife Trust to assist them in purchasing a vacant farm which could be re-purposed as an education centre and to rewild the farmland. The loan period was initially for two years, subject to an extension to up to five years.

Reserves Policy

As required by accounting standards, grants are accrued in full in the year in which they are awarded. Payments for Strategic and Intermediate grants are spread over a number of years and appropriate liabilities are shown in the accounts, reflecting the commitments made.

The Trustees have the discretion to disburse some or all of its Expendable Endowment. Having regard to this, the Trustees have re-examined the requirement to maintain free reserves and concluded that the level currently maintained is appropriate to ensure that the Charity would be able to continue its activities. The Trustees will review their budget each year and consider how expenditure will be met with the reduction in paid income from its investments following the decision to invest for total return.

ecause of the property sales in the year. The Trustees are aware that the current economic environment, impacting on certain types of commercial property, particularly out of town offices, may also lead to a decrease in rental income. This is kept under review regularly by the Trustees with their property advisers and managers.

sufficient to meet its committed grant payments and overheads for the next 12 months.

Fundraising and gifts

The Charity has not made any fundraising appeals to the general public during the year and, as a result, there has been no outsourced fundraising via professional fundraisers or other third parties. Consequently, the Charity is not registered with the fundraising regulator and received no fundraising complaints in the year.

She had made a generous gift of this property to the charity during the previous financial year.

Risk Management

The Trustees have identified the major risks applicable to a Charity of this nature including investment risk and failure of Strategic grants. The Risk Policy was considered, updated and approved at the Trustees meeting in May 2022.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Monday Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the 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:

Basis for 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 th for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the 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

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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such

13

THE MONDAY CHARITABLE TRUST

INDEPENDENT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

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 nual Report (which We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

THE MONDAY CHARITABLE TRUST

INDEPENDENT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the regulatory requirements of the Charities Commission, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP (2019).

We eva statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to the cut-off of investment income, the recognition of grant commitments and the valuation of investment properties. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Report www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our

1. Accounting policies

General information

Monday Charitable Trust in an incorporated charity registered as a charity in England and Wales (charity number: 1174232) and a company limited by guarantee (company number: 10910936). The address is set out in the reference and administration section of these financial statements.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (second edition). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity under the definition set out in FRS 102.

The accounts are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting.

The Charity had one subsidiary throughout the period: Chelsea Estates Limited (registered company number 00264585, England and Wales). This subsidiary is not consolidated as its activities and balance sheet are not material to the group.

Going concern

Having reviewed the expected income and expenditure over the next twelve months, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the financial viability. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Income

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Donations and investment income are included when receivable. Investments donated to the charity are recognised at their market value as the date of the donation.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes VAT where this cannot be recovered.

Fund Accounting

The Expendable Endowment Fund is the capital fund of the Charity and represents the original investments, additional capital receipts from the founders and the subsequent gains and losses thereon. The endowment is not permanent so the Trustees may apply these funds at their discretion.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

The Unrestricted Fund is the general fund which is available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which has not been designated for other purposes. The Trustees have a power to accumulate the income as an accretion to the Expendable Endowment Fund.

Investments

Investments and investment properties are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Quoted securities are measured at closing exchange prices.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances held in current accounts with banks or investment managers, and deposits with a maturity of less than three months.

Debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors are measured initially at the transaction price and subsequently, for amounts receivable or payable in more than one year, at amortised cost using the effective interest rate.

Taxation

The income is exempt from corporation tax on the basis that it is applied for charitable purposes.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgement, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods.

In the view of the Trustees, the only significant area of estimate or judgement in the financial statements is the valuation of investment properties. The Trustees use a qualified external company to advise on these valuations.
