TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Company for the 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The only objective for which the charitable company is established is for the public benefit to further such exclusively charitable purposes according to the law of England and Wales as the Trustees in their absolute discretion from time to time determine.
The objective of providing grants to charities is to expand the reach and/or impact of the charity amongst those they serve.
The charitable company does not carry out fundraising activities.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Objectives and activities (continued)
b. Grant-making policies
The Trustees are particularly interested in supporting Christian charities (including those established to advance the Christian faith or otherwise operating within a Christian ethos) to further the Christian gospel and/or to offer compassionate relief to people in communities in charitable need including those requiring physical, mental and spiritual support both in the UK and abroad.
The charitable company will not normally support applications from charities with annual income in excess of £10 million, charities whose reserves are in excess of one year's expenditure, or charities that are dedicated to issues deemed by the Trustees to already be well funded.
The charitable company invites written applications for grants from organisations in the UK, although grants are also made to overseas charities. All applications are logged, acknowledged via email and screened for eligibility. The Trustees meet several times a year to consider and review applications that have passed eligibility requirements. Trustees assess applications on a number of factors, including whether people will be directly helped by the work of the charity; the faith, vision and commitment of the charity to its cause; whether the charitable company's input will pump-prime the work of the charity and have a catalytic effect. Applicants are informed of the Trustees decision after the Trustees have met.
The Trustees often request reports from the charities who receive grants. The feedback requested varies based on the individual situation of each charity at the time of the grant. The reports are believed to be sufficient for monitoring the quality of those grants and appropriateness of the size of the grant made. Where reports have not been requested, the Trustees are satisfied that a charity's annual report will provide sufficient information about the use of funds.
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Company
Grants totalling £1,880,000 have been made to charities supporting causes within the UK and beyond, assisting a wide variety of causes in the period.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Achievements and performance (continued)
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
The Trust is a charitable organisation that receives donations from related parties to be used in achieving the Trust's charitable objectives and cover the running costs of the Trust. No grants are committed to or provided without first the funding being received by the Trust. As such, the Trust needs to maintain a surplus to cover the relatively low running costs of the Trust through the going concern assessment period.
At the balance sheet date, the Trust held £615,602 in readily accessible bank accounts compared to annual running costs of less than £10,000. There are no significant changes expected to the cost base of the Trust in the going concern period.
Consequently, the Trustees conclude that the Trust has adequate financial resources to continue to operate through the going concern assessment period.
b. Reserves policy
The trustees seek to support Christian charities (including those established to advance the Christian faith or otherwise operating within a Christian ethos) to further the Christian gospel and/or to offer compassionate relief to people and communities in charitable need including those requiring physical, mental and spiritual support both in the UK and abroad. The Trustees therefore believe it is appropriate to hold sufficient reserves to provide support funding for applications that are approved.
At the balance sheet date, the charity held unrestricted reserves of £610,738.
c. Financial position
The statement of financial activities is set out on page 12.
Net income for the year totalled £(923,684) and retained funds at the end of the year amounted to £610,738. The Trustees are satisfied that the charitable company's assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The P27 Trust is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed.
The charitable company was formed under Memorandum and Articles incorporated on 4th February 2019.
The charitable company's application to the Charities Commission for registration as a charity was accepted on 27th March 2019.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The Trustees keep the composition of the Board under review and will seek to appoint additional members known to have the appropriate skills and expertise should the need arise. Interested parties are given details of the background of the charitable company in order to make them aware of current activities.
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
None of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the charitable company. All of the Trustees are members of the charitable company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of winding up.
The charitable company ensures that Trustees are kept informed of the activities and performance of the charitable company and are provided with regular management information. Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to review all aspects of the charitable company's activities.
Day to day running and administration of the charitable company is undertaken by A L Charlesworth.
The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
The management of the charitable company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. Trustee induction and training is informal. New Trustees are provided with copies of the governing documents, latest set of accounts and taken through the process employed by the charitable company.
e. Financial risk management
The Trustees have considered the risks faced by the charitable company. They are satisfied that appropriate measures have been taken and systems put in place to mitigate these risks and minimise the impact on the charitable company, should difficulties materialise. Major risks that the Trustees have considered and have taken steps to mitigate include having robust assessment and monitoring processes to ensure grants are made for work which is considered charitable and ensuring that the charitable company is compliant with legislation and regulation through taking any necessary professional advice.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Plans for future periods
The Trustees intend to continue making grants in accordance with the charity's grant making policies as available reserves allow.
Members' liability
The Members of the Company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Company in the event of winding up.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) 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).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE P27 TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The P27 Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2026 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company'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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE P27 TRUST (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
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:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

THE P27 TRUST (A company limited by guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE P27 TRUST (CONTINUED)
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 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 Auditors' 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.
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:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the finance statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing the supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias
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 Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
1. General information
The P27 Trust is a registered charity and private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The registered office is The Farm Offices, St. Helen's Farm, Seaton Ross, York, United Kingdom, YO42 4NP.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The P27 Trust meets the definition of 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.
2.2 Going concern
The trustees confirm that, having considered their expectations and intentions for the next twelve months, and the availability of working capital, the charity is a going concern.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.4 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

THE P27 TRUST (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure (continued)
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Gift Aid
Where the right to receive Gift Aid has been established, the amount receivable is recognised as donation income in the Statement of financial activities.
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 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.
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
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 Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Company only 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.11 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 Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Critical areas of judgment:
There are no such critical areas of judgement included within the financial statements.
