TRUSTEES' REPORT - 5 APRIL 2025
GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the year end and of its income and expenditure during that year. In preparing accounts, giving a true and fair view, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102);
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, applicable Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Structure and management reporting
The trustees are ultimately responsible for the policies, activities and assets of the charity. They review the developments with regard to the charity, its grant giving activities and make any important decisions. When necessary, the trustees seek advice and support from the charity's professional advisers including solicitors and accountants. The day to day management of the charity's activities, and the implementation of policies, is delegated to the Private Client Department of Payne Hicks Beach LLP. The Department ensures that grant applications are processed and presented to the trustees as appropriate; it administers payments and keeps the books and records of the charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT - 5 APRIL 2025
GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
Risk management
In line with the requirement for charity trustees to undertake a risk assessment exercise and report on the same in their annual report, the trustees have looked at the risks the charity currently faces and have reviewed the measures in place, or needing to be put in place, to deal with them. The trustees have identified three main areas where risks may occur:
-
Governance
-
Operational - Financial
Governance looks at the continuity of trusteeship, the skills and background of the trustees and the policies of regular meetings of the trustees to review their aims and activities.
Operational looks at the risk inherent in the delegation of statutory and legal requirements of the charity, its management and secretarial functions and delegation of certain of those functions, and its grant giving activities.
Financial risks include those inherent in the financial record keeping of the charity, its investment policy, audit and review procedures.
Having assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to its finances, the trustees believe that by ensuring controls exist over key financial systems, incorporating the systems and controls implemented by Payne Hicks Beach LLP, they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks.
The key risks faced by the charity, as identified by the trustees, are described below together with the principal ways in which they are mitigated.
The charity's principal assets comprises listed investments, cash and a loan.
The charity will carry out its objectives by providing grants to institutions that are also UK registered charities, whose objects comply with the charity's criteria.
ACTIVITIES, SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND RELEVANT POLICIES
Activities and specific objectives
The trustees operate a grant giving policy, providing funds for such charitable object or institution as the trustees think fit.
All appeals should be by letter containing the following:
-
Aims and objectives of the charity
-
Nature of appeal
-

-

ACTIVITIES, SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND RELEVANT POLICIES (Continued)
Activities and specific objectives (Continued)
-
Registered Charity Number
-
Any other relevant factors
Letters should be accompanied by a set of the charitable organisation's latest report and full accounts and should be emailed to MurtonPoole@phb.co.uk.
No applications from individuals are considered.
The trustees are still formulating a grant making policy.
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
The Trust will carry out these objectives by providing grants to institutions that are also UK registered charities, whose objects comply with the Trust's criteria. Whilst the trustees are mindful of their own obligation to ensure that the Trust benefits the public generally, they take some assurance from the fact that recipients of grants are themselves regulated to ensure that they operate for the public benefit.
Potential recipients of grants are identified by the trustees individually in areas where it is perceived that public benefit will be achieved. The opportunity to benefit is not restricted in any way except that grants are restricted to bodies registered in the UK, not least to facilitate the trustees being able to follow up on the efficacy of the grants made. In all other respects grants are not limited in any way except that the recipients should have a charitable need.
The trustees therefore consider that the Trust's activities will be for the benefit of the public generally.
Key management
The trustees comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee received any remuneration in the year. Details of trustees' expenses and remuneration and any related party transactions are disclosed in notes 5 and 11 to the accounts. As noted above, the day or day management of the charity's activities, and the implementation of policies, is delegated to the Private Client Department of Payne Hicks Beach LLP.
Investment policy
The charity has a portfolio of investments with a market value as at 5 April 2025 of £1,080,814 (2024 - £1,208,330).
There are no restrictions on the charity's power to invest. The investment strategy is agreed between the trustees and the investment managers, and is regularly reviewed. This is subject to a policy statement which has been completed by the trustees and forms an integral part of the agreement with the investment manager to provide investment management services.

ACTIVITIES, SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND RELEVANT POLICIES (Continued)
Investment policy (Continued)
The overall investment policy is to maximise return by investment in a balanced portfolio comprised of equities, pooled funds, exotic stocks and funds, fixed interest and cash with a medium risk profile. Performance is measured by reference to a bespoke benchmark, which is as follows:
-
Fixed interest (bonds/cash) - 22% FTSE All Stocks UK Gilts
-
UK Equities - 30% MSCI UK IMI
-
Overseas Equities - 40% MSCI AC World ex UK
-
Fixed Income Indices - 5.5% ICE Bof ML Sterling Corporate
-
Cash - 2.5% Bank of England Base Rate
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Review of activities
Total investment income received in the year amounts to £37,224 (2024 - £28,455), which equates to a yield of 3.44% (based on the market valuation of the investment assets at the year end).
The trustees feel that their objectives have been adequately met this year considering that part of the charity's funds were not received until the end of the reporting period.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results for the period
A summary of the period's results can be found on page 9 of this report and accounts.
During the year ended 5th April 2025, total income amounted to £37,579 (2024 - £766,643), being income arising from the charity's investments of £37,224 (2024 - £28,455), voluntary Income of £nil (2024 - £736,279) and bank interest of £355 (2024 - £1,909).
The trustees made payments for investment advisor costs of £1,042 (2024 - £5,008) and grant administration and governance costs of £183,863 (2024 - £32,202), total expenditure amounted to £184,905 (2024 - £37,210).
During the year there were investment losses of £17,672 (2024 - gains of £106,058).
This results in a net decrease in funds during the year of £164,998 (2024 - increase of £835,491).
Reserves policy and financial position
Reserves policy

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - 5 APRIL 2025
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.
Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared for the year to 5 April 2025 with the comparative information presented in respect to the to 5 April 2024.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes of these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Reporting Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102) the second issue in October 2019 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the accounts requires the trustees to make significant judgements and estimates.
The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
- estimating future income and expenditure flows for the purpose of assessing going concern (see below).
Assessment of going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.
The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.
The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and there are no concerns regarding the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Income recognition
Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income, the amount of income can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Income comprises donations and sum settled, as well as income from investments and interest from deposits.
THE MURTON POOLE CHARITABLE TRUST
Page 12
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - 5 APRIL 2025
Income recognition (continued)
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Donations are recognised when the charity has confirmation of both the amount and settlement date and include related Gift Aid tax reclaims.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligations can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure comprises direct costs and support costs. All expenses, including support costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. The classification between the activities is as follows:
-
(a) Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure associated with raising funds for the charity.
-
(b) Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs associated with furthering the charitable purposes of the charity through the provision of its charitable activities. Such costs include related support costs including the cost of administering the activities of the charity and governance costs.
All expenditure is stated inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the charity it is necessary to provide support in the form of administration services.
Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the charity (including audit costs) and costs in respect of its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs and governance costs are apportioned directly to the one charitable activity.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.
Cash in bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.
THE MURTON POOLE CHARITABLE TRUST
Page 13
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - 5 APRIL 2025
Concessionary loans
Concessionary loans initially recognise and measure the loans at the amount received or paid, with the carrying amount adjusted in subsequent years to reflect repayments and any accrued interest.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions 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. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.
Fund accounting
The general fund represent funds available for the general charitable purposes of the charity which may be applied at the discretion of the trustees.
Accounting policies for fixed asset investment
Fixed asset investments are included on the balance sheet at their market value at the end of the financial period. Realised and unrealised gains (or losses) are credited (or debited) to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they arise.
Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price.
As noted above the main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that a volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
Realised gains (or losses) on investment assets are calculated as the difference between disposal proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value is acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value at that date. Realised and unrealised investment gains (or losses) are credited (or debited) in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they arise.
