Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit

The Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) which was established on 10 March 2020. Its objectives, as set out in its constitution, are to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the charity trustees see fit from time to time. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting corporate partnerships, providing match funding for divisional and individual fundraising, administering the Barratt and David Wilson Homes Community fund and encouraging Barratt Group employees to volunteer and utilise their one day of paid leave for this purpose. The Foundation will draw together all of the charitable work undertaken by the employees of the Barratt Developments PLC under one body. This will allow it to improve the impact it has across the communities in which the Barratt Group operates through the donations it makes to a wide range of UK charities, whether national or local or large or small. The Foundation seeks to lead the way in charitable giving and create a powerful legacy in the various local communities across the UK of which it can be proud.

The Foundation has a general charitable purpose, which means that it is able to donate to a wide variety of UK charities. However, the Foundation did focus on the following key areas during the period under review and will most likely continue to focus on in the new financial year:

The Foundation will, during FY22, be looking to establish partnerships with national charities that reflect each of these focus areas. It will look to support local charities through  30 divisional and Group offices throughout the UK. This will be achieved through the Barratt and David Wilson Community fund and the match funding scheme that is available for each division and Group office as well as individual employees.

The Foundation will also continue to support specific charities addressing individual events.

The Foundation will consider and make donations to those local and national charities who apply directly to it or are nominated by Barratt Group employees, provided that the charity is UK based and whose aims match those of the Foundation.

All grant awards are effectively therefore for the period January 2021 to June 2021.

To mark its launch, and to celebrate the completion of the 500,000th home by the Barratt Group, the Foundation donated, in aggregate, £500,000 to ten employee-nominated charities. Barratt Developments PLC employees voted for their favourite charities over a two week period, with the winner receiving a £150,000 donation. This gave the Foundation a strong start to its charitable giving.

During this first reporting period to 30 June 2021 (hence no prior period comparatives are shown) the Foundation received income from Barratt Developments PLC of £1,954,427 in monetary donations and awarded grants with a total value of £1,208,378 to more than 70 good causes throughout the UK. These ranged from large, national charities to small, local ones. The donations by the Foundation have helped the beneficiaries to undertake invaluable work, which may not have otherwise been possible, to help improve society, the environment, health, art, sport and culture benefitting people of varying age groups, from different cultures and backgrounds, as well as those living with disabilities and long-term or terminal illnesses, to name but a few.

The Foundation plans to build on the success of its first period of operation, January 2021 to June 2021 and be in a position to provide funding and much needed support to more good causes in the future at a level equivalent to the £4.3m raised and donated by Barratt Developments PLC and its employees during its financial year ending 30 June 2021.

The Foundation will also work with the employees of Barratt Developments PLC by continuing to match the funds that they raise, whether by running marathons, scaling mountains or holding coffee mornings or quizzes, for charities that are close to their hearts. Barratt Developments PLC employees will continue to be able to make



recommendations for charitable donations to the Foundation.

The Trustees determine how charitable grants are awarded and have delegated authority to two Trustees to manage the day to day operations of the Foundation. The Trustees assess each grant application on its merits by considering, amongst other matters, its justification,  charitable purpose in particular the key focus areas, the geographical reach of the charity, its registered charity status and its financial position.

The trustees consider that they 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.

Financial Review

During the period under review, the Foundation received £1,954,427 in monetary donations and a further £25,283 in donated services. The Foundation incurred expenditure of £1,257,383 on charitable activities, comprising of grant expenditure of £1,208,378, support costs of £39,005 and governance costs of £10,000. Barratt Developments PLC, provides both financial (including all expenditure) and administrative support to the Foundation. This ensures that the Foundation has low running costs and that 100% of the funding it receives can be donated to worthy causes. At the end of the financial period the Foundation held unrestricted funds of £722,327, being sufficient reserves to cover three months of funding commitments. This is in line with the Trustees policy to maintain sufficient reserves to meet any existing and forecast commitments for a period of at least three months that they have to make under any of its campaigns and/or commitments based on its expected cash flows. For details of future funding commitments, see note 6.

As the Foundation is still in its infancy, no formal key performance indicators (KPIs) have yet been formulated or tracked against. The main KPI for the Foundation is to raise and make donations that are at least equivalent to the donations made by Barratt Developments PLC in FY21 of £4.3m. Further KPIs may be developed in the near future as the Foundation becomes more established. The Trustees will keep this under consideration.

Principal Risks

Our aim is for our risk management approach to follow the recommendations of the Charity Governance Code. We are currently reviewing the requirements of the Code and we are actively working towards adopting those recommendations that are applicable to the Foundation.

The Foundation principal risks are reputational and fraud. The Trustees have put in place systems and procedures to monitor how donations are made. All beneficiaries are reviewed and approved by the Trustees in advance of any grants being awarded. All payments are authorised and made in accordance with the banking mandates in place.

Barratt Developments PLC has made resources available to the Trustees to help them run the Foundation efficiently and in an appropriate manner. These resources include its heads of functions for Finance, Company Secretarial and Communications to ensure that the Trustees have relevant financial controls, monitoring and reporting in place to reduce the risk of fraud.

Independent legal advice is provided to the Trustees by Slaughter and May, who provide vital support in the drafting of agreements for charitable donations, particularly multi-year ones as well as ensuring that the Foundation continues to operate within legal and regulatory requirements.

Plans for Future Periods

The Foundation will continue to grant awards in line with its charitable focus and key focus areas. A new Head of the Foundation has been recruited and has joined during FY22. A key focus of this role is to develop a long term strategy for the Foundation and if deemed necessary establish appropriate KPIs.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) governed by its constitution. It must have a minimum of two trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee may act only to appoint a new charity trustee. The maximum number of charity trustees is ten.

At every annual general meeting of the members of the CIO, one-third of the charity trustees shall retire from their office. If the number of charity trustees is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to one-third shall retire from office, but if there is only one charity trustee, he or she shall retire. The charity trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment. If any trustees were last appointed or reappointed on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision of the constitution. 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.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

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.

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 discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.

As a result of performing the above, we identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas, and our specific

procedures performed to address it are described below:

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:

Notes

1. Principal accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, the requirements of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), The Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and under the historical cost accounting rules. The charity is a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The accounts cover the period from the establishment of the Charity on 10 March 2020 to 30 June 2021, in accordance with paragraph 4a of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.  reporting period and therefore no comparative information is presented.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the  accounting policies, described below, there are no individual judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant impact upon the Accounts.

Going concern

After making due enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date these accounts are approvednue. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

Income

Income from cash donations is recognised in the Statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably, usually on receipt.

Donated services and facilities reflect the cost of services provided free of charge to the charity by Barratt Developments PLC. They are measured at the amount the charity would pay in an open market for an alternative service and recognised as income, with an equivalent amount recognised in expenditure, as the service is received.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis. Grants expenditure is recognised in full once the charity has an obligation to make that grant, usually when payment has been approved by the Trustees and the intention communicated to the recipient. Support and governance costs are recognised over the period in which the services are received.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Balance Sheet when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash in bank accounts with no notice that are subject to insignificant changes in value.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised at the point at which the charity has an obligation for payment and are measured on initial recognition at historical cost. They are subsequently measured at the amount required to settle the obligation.

Taxation

Due to the  charitable status no tax is payable on the charity's income for the period. Value Added

12

The Barratt Developments PLC Charitable Foundation



Tax is not recoverable by the organisation, consequently all expenditure in these accounts is stated inclusive of VAT where applicable.

Accumulated funds

Unrestricted funds are general funds which are available at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Staff numbers and costs

The charity had no employees or key management personnel during the period and paid no remuneration.
