## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions 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).
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
JAC Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed according to its Constitution dated 18 May 2020. Prior to incorporation it was known at the J.A. Clark Charitable Trust.
## **Trustees**
The Trustees who served in 2025 and up to the date of this report are as follows:
Dulma Clark (retired 22.04.2026) Odette Clark Campbell David Linehan Aidan Pelly Andrew Pym William Pym (Chair)
Four of the Trustees are descendants of J. Anthony Clark, the settlor of the J.A. Clark Charitable Trust. All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 9 to the accounts.
The Constitution provides for new Trustees to be appointed by the existing Trustees. On appointment, Trustees are given an induction pack and offered one or more briefing meetings with the Director and Chair to familiarise themselves with the charity, its governance, the context it operates in and their own roles and responsibilities. All Trustees are encouraged to attend relevant training events provided by the Association of Charitable Foundations.
## **Governance**
The Trustees govern the Trust and control its strategic direction. The Trustees met four times in 2024 to review and approve grants and discuss and progress governance, strategy, investments, and other matters. The Trust has two sub-committees which meet separately to the Board and report to it: the Finance & Investment Committee and the Programme Committee. The Programme Committee reviews and assesses all grant applications to the Trust and makes funding recommendations to the Board. The Programme Committee draws on the expertise of an external adviser who joined the Committee in 2021, following an open, competitive recruitment process. The adviser gives their time voluntarily and receives no benefits from the charity.
## **Management**
The Trustees have delegated the management of the Trust to the Trust Director, who is supervised by the Chair of the Board of Trustees and reports to the Trustees at their Board meetings. All policies, grants and social investments are approved by the Trustees.
The Trust’s remuneration policy is to balance the wish to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced staff with careful management of the charity’s funds. The Director’s salary is reviewed annually, any pay increase is linked to performance. Pay is periodically benchmarked against grant-makers of a similar size, most recently in 2022.

## **Report of the Trustees**

## **Charitable Objectives and Activities**
## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit**
JAC Trust exists and operates for the public benefit. Through its grant-making and social investments it works to improve the quality of life for people in need in the UK and overseas. The public benefit created by JAC Trust is demonstrated in this report through the listing of grants that we have made throughout the year.
The Trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on public benefit when reviewing JAC Trust’s activities and in setting the funding strategy and grant-making policy. Trustees keep public benefit in mind when reviewing applications and making grant decisions. The Trustees ensure that all projects and organisations funded by JAC Trust have charitable objects or purposes as defined by the Charities Act 2011.
The objects of JAC Trust are to advance purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales as the Trustees may in their absolute discretion think fit. JAC Trust carries out these objectives by making grants to organisations that carry out charitable activities in the UK and internationally, and through social investments.
## **2020-2029 Strategy**
JAC Trust’s 2020-2029 Strategy focuses on **the climate resilience of forcibly displaced people and the communities that host them** .
Our strategy is grounded in the recognition that crises are increasingly complex, resulting in the protracted displacement of people, and that people living in displacement settings are highly vulnerable to climate shocks and disasters. Around 75% of the 117 million people forcibly displaced in 2025 live in countries with high-to-extreme exposure to climate hazards[1] . It also recognises that environmental degradation and vulnerability to climate change are deeply interconnected, as degraded environments are less able to buffer extreme weather events such as storms, floods and droughts.
## **Our objective is to enable forcibly displaced people, and the communities that host them, to adapt to the changing climate in ways that improve their lives and protect the environment.**
We focus on Sub-Saharan Africa **,** where some 45 million people are forcibly displaced. Here 67% of FDPs live in settlements and the average life of a refugee camp is 20 years.
We believe that funding integrated approaches that address the impacts of climate change while also taking climate action can drive transformative change for forcibly displace people and the communities that host them. Central features are the imperative to support locally-led responses, and to champion nature-based and regenerative solutions. Our priorities are:
1. Food security through agro-ecological approaches.
2. Restoring degraded land and increasing tree cover.
3. Affordable and clean energy for cooking.
We provide multi-year grants to organisations that work directly with displaced communities and those that work to strengthen the ecosystem in which they operate. We also fund direct work with displaced indigenous communities.
## **Family Fund**
JAC Trust is a family foundation. It supports the philanthropic giving of family members through a Family Fund that is capped at 10% of the grant-making budget. All Family Fund grants and donations are approved by the Trustees.

## **Achievements and Performance**
## **Increasing the climate resilience of forcibly displaced people**
In July 2025 we held a conference for our Ugandan grant partners in Nakivale Refugee Settlement. Over three days, our 5 partners operating in Uganda, along with two other interested organisations, exchanged their experiences and lessons learnt with one another. The highlight of the conference was without a doubt the one day spent in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, meeting some of the people participating in JAC Trust funded activities.
JAC Trust adopted a proactive approach to grant-making in 2025. Potential applicants are identified through our networks and database of applicants. Organisations and are only invited to apply for a grant after their eligibility and fit with strategy has been confirmed.
Eight organisations were invited to apply for a grant in 2025, and seven of these applications were successful. All applicants had the opportunity to discuss their ideas with the Trust Director. The proposals were reviewed and assessed by the Programme Committee.
Of the seven successful applicants, three were previous grant partners. A small grant was also awarded to the Environmental Funders Network.

## **Impact**
As a grant-making charity JAC Trust achieves impact through funding the work of other not-for profit organisations.
All grant recipients are required to provide us with a final report that details the outcomes of their work. In 2025, six grant partners provided us with final reports. According to these reports, funding from JAC Trust contributed to the following achievements:
- 1235 households are more food secure and consume a more nutritious diet,
- 504 households doubled their monthly income because of JAC Trust funded interventions,
- 5088 households transitioned away from the three stone fire to a fuel-efficient cookstove, reducing wood consumption by at least 50% and delivering significant labour savings,
- 1362 solar lamps have been distributed to households,
- 226,427 trees were planted, of which 173,900 had survived at the time the report was produced.
Key lessons learnt include:
- The sharp drop in humanitarian funding negatively impacted all organisations working in displacement settings as e.g. cuts to the food ration increased needs and decreased the funds in circulation in refugee settlements. .
- The pervasiveness of dependency culture makes it difficult to motivate people to engage with hard and time-consuming tasks, such as building their own keyhole garden.
- The critical importance of key staff having technical skills e.g. in permaculture or agro-ecology. It is difficult to recruit for those skills when no one in the organisation has them.
- Effective community and participant engagement is key for uptake and success.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Social Investments**
Social investments are a means for the Trust to increase its overall environmental/ social impact by making use of its assets. All social investments must be aligned with the overall objectives of the Trust and are therefore expected to:
1. address the causes of the climate crisis, or
2. increase climate resilience, or
3. support refugees and other forcibly displaced people.
In 2025, the trustees approved an investment of £200,000 in Micro Rainbow C.I.C. This is the third direct investment of the Trust.
In early 2025, the trustees gifted JAC Trust’s land assets to the rewilding charity Somerset Wildlands (1191953). With this gift the Trustees are actively contributing to the 30x30 global commitment – to protect at least 30% of land and sea for nature by 2030.
## **Financial Review**
Since 2021 JAC Trust has followed a fixed spend policy. The Trustees recognise that the current annual fixed amount is such that it will likely erode the total value of assets over time.
The principal funding source of JAC Trust is from investment income of £167,970 (2024: £242,764). Total income excluding investment gains was lower than the previous year at £188,011 (2024: £242,764).
Expenditure in 2025 was substantially higher than the previous year at £1,159,366 (2024: £650,280), due to an increase in grant expenditure. Grants for charitable purposes were £1,027,578 (2024: £460,702), which included a gift of some 50 acres of land to a rewilding charity.
## **Reserves Policy**
The funds are held as an expendable endowment. The Trustees do not operate a reserves policy, but manage the balance between short and long-term financial objectives through their grant making and investment policies.
Total cash at bank and in hand was £643,202 at 31 December 2025 (£544,859 of this balance was held within investments).
## **Investment Policy and Performance**
The investments consist of a portfolio of externally managed listed investments, a property, and a shareholding in the private company C&J Clark Ltd (“CJC”) which formed the original endowment in 1970. The Trustees seek to invest responsibly in accordance with JAC Trust’s mission and Quaker values in terms of Environmental, Social and Governance criteria. The following exclusions apply:
- investment in mining and gambling companies
- production of alcohol, pornography, tobacco and weapons
- • fossil fuel production and related mid-stream activities (refining, pipelines, storage),
As a signatory to the Funder Commitment on Climate Change, JAC Trust has committed to stewarding our investments for a post-carbon future. Trustees recognise the double materiality of the climate crisis: mitigating climate risks and having a positive climate impact are therefore equally important. The Trustees have adopted a net zero by 2040 investment objective, under which investments should be aligned to a 1.5 degree pathway by 2030.
The overall investment objective within our ethical criteria is to generate financial returns (income and capital) that contribute to the funding of the operational and grant-making activities of the Trust. The trustees have adopted an investment portfolio return target of UK CPI inflation plus 3.5% over a rolling 3-year period. Following an investment manager review, the investment portfolio was moved from Rathbone Greenbank to Tribe Impact Capital in July 2025.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Fundraising Policy**
The charity does not engage in any public fundraising activities. The Trust’s income is derived from its investment portfolio and other assets. On occasion, individuals linked to the charity make donations. In 2025, the Quadrio Curzio Trust made a donation of £20,000 to JAC Trust.
## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties**
The Trustees have examined the major risks to which JAC Trust is exposed and recognise that the Trust’s specific operating model, particularly our overseas funding focus and the structure of our endowment, carries certain inherent risks. Risks are continuously assessed on the basis of their likelihood and potential impact. While the following are acknowledged as the most significant inherent risks we face, the Trustees are satisfied that the Trust has robust policies, procedures and internal controls in place to successfully mitigate and manage them.
The Trustees considered the following to be the key risks faced by JAC Trust:
- _Investment risk_ : Given the volatility in global equity markets there is a real risk that the Trust’s capital is eroded over time as capital growth fails to keep pace with inflation in the long-term. We mitigate this risk by investing through an investment manager and maintaining a diverse investment portfolio. The Trustees seeks to spread investment risk where possible. Trustees are aware of the investment risk posed by the large holding in the private company C & J Clark Limited. As it is a private company the marketability of shares is strictly limited providing few opportunities to disinvest. We continue to take any opportunities to diversify.
- _Partner delivery risk_ : JAC Trust funds the work of independent not-for-profit organisations. There is a risk that agreed objectives are not achieved due to; the inherent risk of failure in an innovative project, poor project design, a lack of financial and/or human capacity to carry out the work, natural hazards and conflict impeding project implementation, the sudden closure of a charity. The Trustees believe that local organisations are often best placed to respond to problems and are therefore willing to fund non-UK registered charities. The Trustees are willing to fund high-risk projects in certain situations where success could lead to truly transformative results and risks are clearly acknowledged and described. In general, risks are mitigated through due diligence and monitoring procedures.
- _Fraud as a result of cyber-attack_ . The Trust is aware that foundations, along with solicitors, are the targets of cyber-attacks where attackers impersonate a grantee. The risk of inadvertently transferring funds to the wrong account is mitigated by strong financial protocols and due diligence processes _._
## **Funder Commitment on Climate Change**
JAC Trust is a founder signatory to the Funder Commitment on Climate Change, which launched in November 2019. The Funder Commitment on Climate Change recognises that the impact of climate change is wide ranging, and a serious threat to funders achieving their charitable objectives.
The Commitment provides funders with a framework for considering how their investments, operations and funding can both help tackle the causes and mitigate the effects of climate change. A key part of this framework is reporting on our progress towards these goals on an annual basis. We have reported the following to ACF who coordinate the FCCC.

**JAC Trust**
## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
|**Commitment**|**Progress 2025**|
|---|---|
|**1. Educate and learn**|The trustees and staff have a good level of knowledge on the causes and consequences
of climate change. We fund climate action in the Global South and reports and
interactions with our partners continue to be our main source of learning.
In 2025 our most impactful action was to organise a meeting of our Ugandan grant
partners to share their experiences and lessons learnt with each other and with us. Our
partners note that climate change is changing the onset, duration and reliability of rainy
seasons, which in-turn has severe negative impacts on food production and food
security. Project visits highlighted the ways in which agro-ecological approaches and
water-harvesting can increase resilience to drought and make very real differences to
food security.|
|**2. Commit resources**|90% of our grants budget is dedicated to climate action. Our priority is to support
integrated approaches that increase the resilience of people to climate change in ways
that are positive for the local environment. Our funding focuses on forcibly displaced
people and the communities that host them in Sub-Saharan Africa.
In 2025 we increased our spend on this programme by 50%, awarding just under
£700,000 in grants in total. This includes £150,000 to an agro-ecology project in
Cameroon that supports women fleeing conflict in rural areas to rebuild their lives and
£90,000 to a beekeeping and forest restoration project in Kenya under which 3 million
indigenous seedlings will be raised and planted in the forest and surrounding areas.|
|**3. Integrate**|Climate action is at the heart of our overall strategy. We recognise that climate change
threatens all life and that we have a responsibility to use all our assets to safeguard our
shared future, by supporting climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.
Given that our grant-making is already focused on climate action, the most impactful
action we took was to gift the Trust's remaining land assets to a re-wilding charity. This
had been approved in 2024 but was completed in 2025. JAC Trust subsequently
supported two tree-planting events on the land in which trustees and family members
were actively involved. Just ten months into the land's nature recovery journey, there
are signs of water voles and field mice in the former fields.|
|**4. Steward our**
**investments for a**
**post-carbon future**|We have a net zero active investment strategy which was approved in 2024. In 2025 we
tendered for new investment managers, capabilities in sustainable investing, policies on
engagement and reporting on portfolio emissions were key elements of our review
process.|
|**5. Decarbonise our**
**operations**|We work remotely and travel is the biggest contributor to our carbon footprint. In 2025,
trustees met face-to-face once with all attendees used public transport. All other
meetings were on-line.
Visits to projects are important, in 2025 we managed to see the work of 3 grant
partners in-situ,all on the same tripto Uganda.|

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Future Plans**
## **Grant-making**
The Trustees are clear in their mission to promote locally-led action that drives long-term resilience and environmental recovery in displacement settings. They intend to continue awarding new grants under the Climate Resilience for Forcibly Displaced People Programme until end 2028, with the total amount available tapering between 2026 and 2028. Most grants are expected to complete in 2029 **.**
## **Social Investments**
In 2026 the Trustees expect to make their final social investment.
## **Independent Examination of Accounts**
A resolution proposing that Monahans be re-appointed as the independent examiners of the charity for the financial year ending 31 December 2026 was passed at a meeting of the JAC Trust Board held on 15 July 2026.

## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards (the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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 charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
3. Observe methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102);
4. State whether the financial statements comply with applicable accounting standards and the trust deed and rules, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
5. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
## **Signature and Declaration**
This report was approved by the Trustees on 15th July 2026 and signed on their behalf by:

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of JAC Trust**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of JAC Trust**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of JAC Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. The most significant areas of adjustment and key assumptions that affect items in the accounts are to do with estimating the liability from multi-year grant commitments. With respect to the next year, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carry value of assets held by the Trust are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets.
The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of accounts in conformity with FRS102 requires the trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based upon historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Investment income, consisting of interest and dividends, is accounted for on a receivable basis.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which the expenditure arose.
Grants made are included in the accounts when they are authorised by the trustees.
Costs of generating funds are those incurred in managing the investments. Other costs are governance and support costs.

**JAC Trust**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Expenditure**
The allocation of support costs to governance is set out in note 8.
Governance and support costs are then allocated between the programme funds based on the number of recipients of grants for each programme fund.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Land and buildings are included in the balance sheet at their fair value. Revaluations of the properties are taken to a revaluation reserve within the endowment funds of the charity as detailed in note 20. The trustees will obtain a formal valuation of the properties every 5 years and re-estimate the market value each year based on the Land Registry House Price Index for the South West in the years between formal valuations. The investment properties were last formally valued at 15 February 2024, but were donated in full this year. Capital expenditure incurred on the properties is also added to the book value in the period between valuations. Further detail is provided in note 13.
## **Fixed asset investments**
Listed investments and properties are included in the balance sheet at fair value (their market value).
The realised and unrealised gains on investments are reflected in the statement of financial activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value as the period end and opening market value (or purchase date if later). Realised and unrealised gains are not separated in the statement of financial activities.
## **Programme-related investments**
Programme-related investments are included in the balance sheet at their fair value (the value of the loan outstanding).
## **Debtors and creditors**
Debtors and creditors are measured as invoiced price, less any applicable discounts.
## **Short term liquid investments and cash**
Cash at bank is held to meet short-term commitments and they fall due rather than for investment purposes and included all cash equivalents held in the form of short-term highly liquid investments. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Funds consist of a general unrestricted fund and an expendable endowment fund. Grants and support costs are paid out of the general unrestricted funds. Investment management fees are charged to the expendable endowment fund. Revaluations in tangible fixed assets are disclosed within endowments in a separate tangible fixed asset revaluation reserve,
## **Foreign currencies**
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

**JAC Trust**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and charged to the unrestricted funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 8.
The trust has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying the deductions for the employee's contributions.
## **Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and Section 12 "Other Financial Instruments Issues" of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the accounts, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## **Basic financial instruments**
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and 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 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 receipts 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 the goods or service 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 charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

The change in market value during the year, as shown in the revaluations above, comprises all the increases and decreases in the market value of investments held at any time during the year including profits and losses realised on sales of investments during the year. The change in market value is represented by a £260,134 decrease in the value of listed investments and a £329,293 decrease in value of unlisted investments.
All investments are carried at their fair value. Investments in listed and fixed interest securities are all traded on quoted public markets. Holdings in common investment funds, unit trusts and open-ended investments companies are at the bid price. The basis of fair value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost.
During the year, the investment assets were transferred from Rathbones to Tribe Impact Capital, who subsequently sold the holdings and reinvested the proceeds, which has inflated additions and disposals in the year.

## **23. ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET FUNDS**
## **24. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES**
## **Exposure to credit risk**
The Charity is not exposed to material credit risk on the basis there is very little debt on the balance sheet
## **Exposure to market risk**
Investments represent the majority of the charity's net assets. The risk of a financial loss arising from listed investments due to changes in the market is mitigated by the active management of the investment portfolio by a professional investment manager and the diversification of the investment portfolio based on an investment policy approved by the trustees.
The unlisted investment in C&J Clark Limited was revalued based on a valuation of the issued ordinary shares by BDO on 23 September 2025.
## **Changes in fair value of debtors, creditors and investments due to credit risk**
There have been no changes in the fair values of basic financial instruments (debtors, creditors and investments) attributable to changes in credit risk.
