THE BURSARY FUND OF ST. BEDE'S COLLEGE, MANCHESTER
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2023.
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 trust'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)
Objectives and activities
The Bursary Fund was established in December 2017, to raise and receive funds through various fundraising efforts and initiatives and thereafter manage these funds in order to advance Catholic education at St Bede’s College. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Fund’s aim and objectives, in planning the future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
The Bursary Fund furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through its grant making policy which aims at:
• the annual allocation of funds to the College for the provision of bursaries to children from Greater Manchester, whose family financial circumstances might otherwise prevent them from receiving an education or otherwise fully benefiting from education opportunities offered by the College.
• providing grants to individual students for the provision of education equipment, coaching, learning materials or any other curricular related educational activities
• Awarding scholarship grants on the basis of educational ability and financial circumstances, subject to the restrictions imposed by the original donor of the funds.
Through focusing on these areas, the Fund is able to achieve its overall priority of advancing Catholic education and carries this out solely in partnership with St Bede’s College, Manchester. Prior to the formation of the Bursary Fund in 2017, St Bede’s College received a capital gift from the Mrs Waterhouse Charitable Trust, Charity Number 261685 in May 2017 to establish an endowed Bursary Fund, generating income from the capital in perpetuity to fund the bursary provision. The trustees have the power to spend or retain capital so the fund is classed as expendable endowment.
In addition, a further capital sum was provided by the Mrs Waterhouse Charitable Trust - "The Dunn Scholarship" - to fund two Sixth Form Scholarships. The first scholarship was awarded in September 2017, prior to the registration of the fund with the Charity Commission.
During the academic year 2018/19, three more scholarships were founded, being; The Lomas Scholarship, The MBL Scholarship, and The Finn Scholarship.
The Fund is actively working with donors to secure additional capital payments to provide for further scholarships which will be administered by the Fund.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the trust should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Grant making policy
The Fund has established its grant making policy to achieve it objects for the public benefit. The Fund’s aim is to allow access to Catholic education at St Bede’s College for children whose family circumstances would otherwise prevent them from receiving an education or otherwise fully benefiting from education opportunities offered by the College. The grant making policy is reviewed annually to ensure that it reflects the charity’s objects and thereby advances public benefit.
The beneficiaries of our grant making programme are ultimately children from the Greater Manchester area who wish to attend St Bede’s College in Whalley Range Manchester. St Bede’s is an Independent Catholic HMC College for boys and girls aged 3 – 18 years old. In line with the College’s own policy for bursaries and scholarships awarded from fee remission, the award of bursaries and scholarships will only be considered for children entering the College aged eleven, at the beginning of Upper Third (Year 7) and aged sixteen at the start of Lower Sixth (Year 12).
Two forms of grants are available, bursaries and scholarships.
Bursaries
When the trustees are in a position to award a grant to the College for the provision of bursaries, these awards will be made after consultation with the College and awarded on the basis of educational ability and financial circumstances. The College will seek applications for these bursaries for children by advertising on the College website, other forms of College media and the inclusion of information within the general application process. Applicants must indicate at the time of their application that they wish to be considered for a bursary and agree to submit to financial scrutiny as laid out by the College in the application process to ensure qualification. In assessing means the trustees take a number of factors into consideration including family income, net assets, savings and family circumstances, for example dependent relatives and the number of siblings. This assessment process is overseen by the trustees.
The investment objectives of the trustees are to invest the capital donated to form an endowment bursary fund, intended to generate income in perpetuity. This will enable the Fund to return a grant to the College, overseen by the trustees, for the payment or part payment of bursaries, whilst maintaining the real value of the fund.
Scholarships
Scholarships are separate from the bursary provision and are funded by donors who wish to make a financial gift for this specific provision.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of education ability and financial circumstances, subject to any restrictions imposed by the original donor of the funds. The scholarships adhere to the overall objective of the Bursary Fund of allowing access to Catholic education at St Bede’s College for children whose family circumstances would otherwise prevent them from receiving an education or otherwise fully benefiting from education opportunities offered by the College.
Achievements and performance
Monitoring Achievement
The success of the bursary and scholarship provision will be monitored in terms of academic achievement, within the framework used by the College and in such a manner to satisfy the Charity Commission.
In the academic year 2022/23 the Trust supports one scholar via a dedicated donor. The donor has supported the scholar for a number of years to date and will provide support until the scholar completes their studies at the College.
The Trustees strive to ensure regular feedback on scholar performance is provided to all sponsors and donors.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Financial review
Fundraising Performance
The Bursary Fund has not grown in line with our initial hopes. The Trustees have purposefully limited fundraising efforts during the transition of the College into new ownership by the St Bede’s Foundation, which has been established by a Madrid based charitable organisation “Foundation Arenales”.
It was our view that actively seeking funds from new donors in support of the Bursary trust objectives ought to be completely aligned with the framework being established by new executive leadership of the College. As a result, we adopted this cautious approach. Those discussions are ongoing and a final resolution is anticipated this year.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the trust’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
There are no outstanding liabilities.
The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds in the Handelsbanken account at a level equal to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this will provide sufficient funds to cover scholarship funds that are due.
Investment Policy and Performance
The investment objectives are to be achieved by an investment portfolio with a moderate/high risk profile but viewed with a medium to long term time horizon, comprised mainly of equities with a bias towards overseas holdings.
The fund continues to track favourably against charity benchmarks notwithstanding the economic headwinds experienced. Recent market movements have had an impact on the current valuations of the Trust’s investment assets. Having taken advice on the options to mitigate this situation we have elected to maintain the investment portfolio in its current vehicle and direction. Castlefield Fund Partners Limited manages the portfolio on a discretionary basis and reports termly to the trustees of the Bursary Fund. The trustees receive reports from the investment managers regularly throughout the year to review investment performance, risk, asset allocation and objectives with a view to meeting ongoing investment objectives and liabilities. Performance is reported against suitable benchmarks over a variety of periods.
Risk Management
The Bursary Fund of St Bede’s College, Manchester is reliant upon the continued support of our generous benefactors. The invested fund is also dependent upon the global stock market performance. A catastrophic decline in either of these factors would present a significant risk to the Fund’s anticipated ability to make a grant available for bursaries or to maintain scholarship provision at the current generous level. This in turn would have a negative impact on the College's ethos, to which the policies of the Bursary Fund heavily contribute.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Plans for future periods
The Bursary Fund of St Bede’s College, Manchester is a lasting testimony to the generosity and charitable concerns of all donors. In the light of change of ownership of the College, it could be fair to conclude that the stability of the institution is assured for the foreseeable future. Our sense is that the College is in a stronger position to be able to support disadvantaged students more directly than perhaps has always been the case in the past. We are actively exploring how best to achieve the aims of the Trust in line with the aims and policies of the College’s new leadership.
In the light of this work, we anticipate that fundraising will continue to be more limited during the period ahead.
We have not been invited to consider potential candidates for bursary support in the upcoming period, and in any event the trustees do not anticipate being in a position to return a grant to St Bede’s College, Manchester in support of bursary provision since this would deplete the capital fund of the Bursary Fund, which is invested to grow and to generate income for the future provision of bursary support.
Structure, governance and management
The trust is a registered charity, number 1176091 and is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees. The date of constitution was 17 October 2017. The trust was established by an initial gift from the Mrs Waterhouse Charitable Trust. The Bursary Fund actively fundraises to enhance this gift and to create an endowed bursary fund.
New trustees are sought through dialogue with the existing trustees and appointed by existing trustees. A trustee is proposed by an existing trustee, a resolution to this effect is circulated at the trustees next meeting or electronically if this is sooner and trustees are asked to vote on the proposed trustee. Voting can also occur electronically. New trustees serve for a period of three years after which they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The constitution provides for a minimum of three trustees to a maximum of seven trustees.
The existing trustees make available to each new trustee on or before his or her appointment a copy of the current version of the constitution of the charity together with a copy of the CIO’s latest Trustees’ Annual Report and the statement of accounts.
At the quarterly trustees' meetings, the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas for activity for the Bursary Fund, including consideration of grant making, investment strategy, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration of the scholarships and the processing and handling of scholarship applications is undertaken by the Clerk to the Trustees, who is the Development Officer of the College. The handling of applications is undertaken by the Development Officer in conjunction with the Admissions Manager of the College.
The trustees seek to follow the good practice ‘Charity Trustees Guide’ issued by ICSA.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
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 trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the trust 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

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BURSARY FUND OF ST. BEDE'S COLLEGE, MANCHESTER
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Bursary Fund of St. Bede's College, Manchester (the trust) for the year ended 31 August 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the trust’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
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts 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 financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
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 accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Bursary Fund of St. Bede's College, Manchester is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust'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 trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trust 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 trust. 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 trust 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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the trust.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Bursary Fund charity 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.
Donations are recognised on being pledged by the clerk to the trustees and on receipt by the Trustees.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and the settlement date.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Resources expended
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 once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
1.6 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.
1.7 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 trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the trust’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.
