Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2020

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 Charity in 2022 has about £600,000 of assets, invested in CCLA funds returning in the region of 2% pa, yielding us about £12,000 to give to worthy causes. There are certain charities to which we give regularly, about £2k each, each year, plus a number of smaller donations on a one off basis.

In 21/22 we considered the music industry was very hard hit by the Pandemic, and so we gave small sums to various musical charities.

We are also now able to consider major capital projects and we have made a tentative offer to our local church for renovation and renewal of its fabric. This is under discussion at present. We maintain a list of donations.

The Long Term: We hope that by the time the current trustees die the assets will have risen in value through investments and donations. As our current figure increases it is important to structure a policy of our aims as a guide to the trustees, present and those who follow us.

The three trustees are members of four London liveries; the ethos of all liveries is charity, education and fellowship. This seems to us a sensible ethos for us also to adopt. We are limited to giving to other charities at present.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 30th June 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
