TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements of Thirty Percy Foundation (“Thirty Percy” or the “Foundation”) for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Trustees have prepared this report in accordance with the 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) and the Charities Act 2011.

REFERENCE & ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS

Reference and administrative details are shown on page 1.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Constitution

Thirty Percy Foundation (previously The Skagen Foundation) was registered on 13 March 2018 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (charity registration number 1177514). Its governing document is its constitution dated 13 March 2018 and amended on 1 October 2018 (the “Constitution”).

Trustees

The Foundation’s Trustees are listed on page 1 of this report. The constitution requires a minimum of 3 Trustees and does not set a maximum. The composition of the Trustee board is kept under review. The Trustees take responsibility for staying up to date on charity matters and receive updates and informal training through briefing papers and attendance at seminars and conferences. There is a formal update on charity law and developments provided once a year by the legal adviser. The Foundation was created with three ‘founding’ Trustees. Additional Trustees are appointed following a careful selection process, with appointments requiring board approval (a decision taken by a majority of Trustees). The Foundation is a member of the Association of Charitable Foundations and contributes as an active member to sectoral development.

Decision-making

The Trustees meet at least four times a year, utilising online platforms to stay in regular contact with the team and take decisions outside of meetings. The Trustee board holds ultimate responsibility for the Foundation. It agrees overall strategy, reviews and confirms policy decisions, provides grant approvals and discusses operating, financial and investment issues. It delegates day-to-day management and operation of the foundation to the Chief Executive Officer and a team (in accordance with a schedule of delegation, which is reviewed and amended as necessary on an ongoing basis). The Trustees approve the remuneration of key personnel, and all team member remuneration is benchmarked against similar organisations.

Principal funding sources and related party transactions

The Foundation is funded by a charitable purpose trust, known as The Owl Trust. The Owl Trust provided an initial grant to the Foundation, payable over three years from 2018-2020, and a further grant to the Foundation, payable over 5 years from 2021-2025. The Owl Trust is a connected entity to the Foundation by virtue of this funding relationship.

The Foundation receives administrative services from Skagen Conscience Capital Limited, a related party and a connected entity. The services are governed by a services agreement with Skagen Conscience Capital Limited which was renewed on 1 January 2021. The services provided in the accounting period total £102,938 (2021: £76,250) and are recognised in support costs. The service costs were settled by a cash payment of £4,800 (2021: £8,700) and a donation in kind of £98,138 (2021: £67,550).

The Trustees manage the Foundation’s affairs in its best interests and, when considering any transaction, conflicts of interest are declared and decisions taken only by those Trustees who are not conflicted, to protect

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

the Foundation’s independence. Further details of related party transactions are included in note 19.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT

Thirty Percy operates for the public benefit. The Trustees have taken into account the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011 when considering Thirty Percy’s strategy and its portfolio of work. As Thirty Percy develops it will work hard on how it holds itself accountable to its ultimate beneficiaries.

Thirty Percy’s charitable objectives are:

  1. To promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public by:

  2. The preservation, conservation and the protection of the environment and the prudent use of resources;

  3. The relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially and economically disadvantaged communities;

  4. The promotion of sustainable means of achieving economic growth and regeneration.

  5. To advance the education of the public in subjects relating to sustainable development and the protection, enhancement and rehabilitation of the environment and to promote study and research in such subjects provided that the useful results of each study are disseminated to the public at large.

  6. To advance such exclusively charitable purposes for the public benefit in any part of the world as the charity Trustees from time to time in their absolute discretion think fit.

Thirty Percy’s Trustees further defined its purpose as:

“We are here to contribute to the future security and wellbeing of our world. We’ll do this in ways that are imaginative, collaborative and unexpected. We can do this because we are an independent Foundation looking to do things differently”.

Operations

Thirty Percy recognises that it must develop its own culture and governance to deliver to its full potential on its purpose. It is committed to working hard, with an engaged board of Trustees, team and external experts, to understand its own ways of operating, flows of authority and to create deeper, reflective spaces for learning and development. We recognise that creating change is hard and often requires risk and courage – particularly when met with status quo paradigms that challenge our collective progress. In considering its own design, and how well it orientates around its purpose, the Foundation considers the Charity Governance Code and integrates it into its strategic framework and operating plans. For example, “act with integrity” is one of the Foundation’s core values.

Portfolio of work

Inspired originally by the Heron Foundation in the United States, Thirty Percy believes its grants and investments are interdependent and therefore cannot be considered in isolation. Our portfolio of work therefore encompasses all the ways we deploy capital in order to create a full picture of what we do. The Foundation has a strategic framework which provides a focus point for how and towards what end we deploy capital. This framework is based on Thirty Percy adopting an emergent approach, and not constraining itself too early by fixing its strategy in traditional programme areas because that feels too static and structured to accommodate our need to innovate and develop as an organisation.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Grant Portfolio

Our grants portfolio delivers on our purpose through investments made through 4 inter-connected funds:

Our grant making processes are set out in our grants policy document, which is reviewed and updated as necessary. In brief, we source opportunities (rather than operate ongoing open call for grant applications) and follow a two-stage approval process based upon detailed due diligence.

Investment Portfolio

Our investment portfolio holds our target value of free reserves. We refer to this as our Capital Fund. The objective of this portfolio is to maintain and enhance the real value of the investments consistent with the Foundation’s purpose. The investment policy statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains appropriate and that its investments are selected and managed to be consistent with the Foundation’s purpose.

The Foundation has delegated responsibility for the management of its investment portfolio to EdenTree Investment Management Limited (EdenTree). It was agreed with EdenTree that ‘consistent with purpose’ means consistent with or positively contributing to a ‘just transition’.

The Trustees review and monitor the portfolio by comparing actual performance to a composite benchmark and a target total return of UK CPI + 3.5% per annum.

Since inception

Thirty Percy 11.6% Composite benchmark 21.0% CPI+3.5% 12.8%

The Trustees note that the above numbers are taken during a snapshot in time (as at 31 March 2022) during volatile markets. Overall, the portfolio posted a negative return of 6.5% in the 12 months ending 31 March 2022, which put us just below our target total return since inception.

The Foundation acknowledges that there is no quick fix to building a portfolio which practises positive investment and engagement consistent with our purpose. We are working towards building a portfolio (and broader financial system) that supports the transition to a post-carbon world, values our natural environment and progresses equity.

Achievements and performance

This accounting period covers our fourth year of operation (and our third fully operational). We are trialling methods of sensemaking and collaboration to understand better our effectiveness and role within the wider system. We will not evaluate impact in silos but instead build an understanding of change across the multiple systems and systems actors we invest in.

Financial review

Charitable activities expenditure of £4,474,993 (2021: £5,583,148) include grants and donations paid totalling £3,577,372 (2021: £4,796,612), £709,259 (2021: £555,138) of support costs and £188,362 (2021: £231,398) of purpose related and enabling costs. The net movement in funds for the year was £160,773 (2021: £1,221,580) and the value of unrestricted funds as at 31 March 2022 was £8,529,029 (2021: £8,368,256). The statement of financial activities for the year ended 31 March 2022 is set out on page 15 of the financial statements.

Fundraising

The Foundation has not undertaken any fundraising activities during the year or prior period. The Foundation occasionally accepts grant funding from purpose aligned organisations who approach Thirty Percy to co-fund with us.

Plans for future periods

Thirty Percy continues to develop its thoughts and plans for the future. It reviews and iterates its strategic framework and processes on a regular basis. We continue to focus on our organisational design, and developing our process, skills and principles as a team. In terms of our strategic development, we continue to pursue a number of enquiry spaces including: the future of food and land use, finance and the just transition, climate justice and the emergent needs of Gloucestershire – our first place-based project. This research will continue to inform our strategy going forwards. All of these workstreams will help build our pipeline of grants to contribute to our grants portfolio. As for our investment portfolio, we have been working on an enquiry space into the future of investing, and this has seen us think more deeply about our investment policy and capital allocation more generally. Tangible outputs from this are in the process of being developed.

Principal risk and uncertainties

The Foundation is, in essence, an investment vehicle that allocates capital and engages with strategic partners. It is not an operating charity.

The principal operational risks to which Thirty Percy is exposed and seeks to manage include:

We also acknowledge the systemic risks posed by climate breakdown and biodiversity loss. We continue to keep under review our Trustee board's oversight and management of these risks.

Reserves

The Trustees have established a reserves policy to protect the Foundation and its long-term grants by providing time to adjust to changing financial circumstances. The Trustees have considered the Foundation’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the Foundation. The Trustees considered that the most appropriate level of free reserves (funds not tied to fixed assets, designated and restricted funds) is £5 million. The balance of free reserves at the balance sheet date total £8.5million (2021: £8.4 million). As mentioned above our enquiry space into the future of investment will help support the Board and team to decide how the reserves are held and the purpose to which any excess reserves are put, from time to time.

THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Thirty Percy Foundation ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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 the Auditor's responsibilities 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charity'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 included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 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.

Page 11

THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 Charity'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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes 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.

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud.

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.

We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Page 12

THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011, together with the Charities SORP (FRS102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within income recognition and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Board of Trustees about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on income and the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Charity status

Thirty Percy Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales with the Charity Commission (no: 1177514). Its registered office address is 30 Percy Street, London, W1T 2DB.

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Thirty Percy Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

All funds in both the current year and prior year are unrestricted.

1.3 Going Concern

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Grant income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donated services and goods have been recognised at their fair value to the Charity at the point of donation. These have been included in income and expenditure during the year.

Investment income is included in the year in which it is receivable.

1.5 Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

Expenditure on all grants is recognised once the Charity has made an unconditional commitment to pay the grant and this is communicated to the beneficiary.

Page 18

THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.5 Expenditure (continued)

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects.

Purpose related costs are costs incurred by Thirty Percy in pursuit of wider impact/purpose (rather than being operational costs of running and developing our team and processes). For example this could be where we have agreed to directly incur and pay for costs on behalf of a project, rather than fund a grant or where we are resourcing a learning event/space for the wider sector/movement.

Enabling costs relate to the operational costs of running and developing our team and processes; which includes costs relating to our own direct learning and development (as a team and individually), the design and development of our processes and systems and work undertaken to identify grant funding opportunities (such as paying for peoples time to join a focus group).

Governance costs include all costs involving the Trustees and the direction of the Charity and included within support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.6 Investments

Listed investments are revalued each year and included in the financial statements at their market value at the Balance Sheet date.

Non-listed investments (being the social investments held) are measured at historic cost less previous impairments and are reviewed annually for impairment.

1.7 Debtors

Accrued income is recognised at the settlement amount.

1.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.9 Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt.

1.10 Financial instruments

The Charity primarily has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.11 Taxation

Thirty Percy Foundation is a registered charity, and as such is entitled to taxation exemptions on all its income and gains properly applied for its charitable purposes.

1.12 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

1.13 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

1.14 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates. The Trustees consider that there are no material judgements made in applying accounting policies nor are there any key sources of estimation uncertainty.

9. Fixed asset investments (continued)

Social investments represent the funding arrangement with The Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs in return for them using the funds to create a pool of evergreen patient capital (the "Evergreen lnvestment Fund"). The Evergreen lnvestment Fund provides eligible social entrepreneurs the opportunity to apply for up to £50,000 of repayable patient capital in the form of debt or equity. The Trustees consider it prudent to fully impair the investment due to the nature of the arrangement and uncertainty around its recoverability.

lncluded within listed investments is a balance of cash held for reinvestment of £54,237 (2021: £242,232). The lower cash position reflects the natural movement of the funds being invested over a prudent time period.

18. Pension commitments
