THE PHILIP & CONNIE PHILLIPS FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31st March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charitable incorporated organisation for the year ended 31st March 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The purposes of the Foundation are to further the charitable intentions set out in the wills of Philip and Connie Phillips, who were both long term residents of Kent. The Foundation makes grants to support charities in the county who demonstrate their impact in the following areas:
-
Elderly and isolated - charities working with people who are elderly and isolated, particularly in rural areas. This may include activities to help improve people’s lives, or meal services, befriending, advice or other support.
-
Supporting people’s physical and mental health - charities who support people living with disabilities and long-term health conditions, as well as supporting peoples’ mental health.
-
Homelessness - charities who help people who are homeless, lack stable accommodation or are in insecure or vulnerable housing.
-
Strengthening local communities - charities that aim to improve people’s health and wellbeing. This could include providing access to services, supporting people and families facing financial hardship (such as foodbanks and debt advice) or helping to combat isolation (such as befriending services or social inclusion projects).
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust's aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the grant making policy for the year. The trust furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through its grant-making policy, which focuses on the aforementioned areas.
Grant making policy
The Foundation has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit. It aims to improve the lives of those in Kent who are impacted by poverty, with a focus on the four key areas highlighted earlier in this report. The policy is reviewed annually to ensure that it reflects the charity's objects and thereby advances public benefit.
The Foundation invites applications from charities for grants via its website. Eligibility is restricted to include only charities operating in the county whose objects are aligned with those of the Foundation.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Monitoring performance
Successful applicants are required to complete monitoring information which is reviewed by the trustees. This ensures that the funds awarded were used appropriately and strictly for the purposes requested in the grant applications.
The performance of the investment portfolio is reviewed regularly by the board of trustees, members of which hold the relevant qualifications and experience to do so meaningfully.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE - continued
Colyer Fergusson Charitable Trust - match funding partnership
The match funding partnership between Colyer-Fergusson Charitable Trust (CFCT) and the Philip and Connie Phillips Foundation (PCPF) was agreed in June 2023. A second grant of £150,000 was agreed in November 2024 by CFCT to be drawn down over the year to match fund grants against two of the Foundation’s priority areas: elderly and health.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Foundation's work is reliant on its investment returns and its investment capital on which it may draw down. The invested funds are managed by Rathbones.
In the previous year the trustees adopted a more predictable investment strategy, moving its equity investments into government bonds. The approach gave stability to expected returns and aligned the lifetime and value of investments with grant requirements. The investment policy is continually reviewed but this remains the preferred approach, given the long-term stability and attractive, reliable returns. The trustees were again happy with the performance of the fund manager and were grateful for the advice received during the period.
During the year dividends of £126 (2024: £31,304) were received. At the period end the net assets of the charity totalled £1,549,266 (2024: £1,715,899), with investments held valued at £1,249,437 (2024: £1,530,242).
Investment policy and performance
The trustees have established a policy for a complete withdrawal of funds over a ten-year period. The policy aims to optimise returns on investment during this period so as to maximise its grant expenditure. The high levels of stock market volatility and the continuing uncertainty regarding world economic prospects makes the performance of investments difficult to predict, which prompted the move to government bonds in the prior year.
Risk management
The principal risks faced by the Foundation lie in the performance of investments and operational risks from ineffective grant making and the capacity of the Foundation to make effective grants. This risk has been intensified by the lasting impact of COVID-19, the threat of recession and global events that have caused continued uncertainty, potentially resulting in a loss to investment value and a reduced investment income. This risk is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio.
The operational risk from ineffective grant awards is managed by retaining trustees of appropriate experience and ensuring that strict procedures are followed throughout the grant application and award procedure. Grants made are subject to a monitoring process to ensure that they have been used for the express purpose that they were applied for.
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to maintain its liquid funds at a level which equates to approximately twelve months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
The trustees maintain reserves so as to meet its overall objective of expending its funds over a ten year period.
Commitments and Liabilities
A commitment of £8,000 to Caring Together on Romney Marsh has been made for the period ending 31st March 2026.

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued Plans for the future
The charity will continue to award and monitor grants according to its grant cycle, while work will continue to promote the charity to ensure that those with aligning objects are aware of its existence.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation, registered on 17 June 2020. It was established by an initial gift in the wills of Connie and Philip Phillips, who resided in Kent before they died. The Foundation does not actively fundraise and seeks to continue its charitable work through the careful stewardship of these resources.
The charity’s governing document allows the trustees to meet and conduct meetings virtually. At the quarterly trustees' meetings, the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance.
The trustees consider the board of trustees as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year.
New trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees and appointments are undertaken in order to meet the experience requirements of the Board of Trustees at the time. There is no formal recruitment policy.
CHARITY GOVERNANCE CODE
The Board of Trustees oversees the charity’s governance policies and procedures. All work undertaken is in line with the Charity Governance Code which although not a legal or regulatory requirement, it sets the principles and recommended practice for good governance. The charity recognises that good governance is fundamental to its success and strives to develop high standards of governance.

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 charity has elected to apply the exemption under FRS 102 from preparing a cash flow statement.
The comparative financial statements cover the year ended 31st March 2024.
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.
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.
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.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Realised and unrealised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening carrying value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening carrying value (or purchase date if later).
Fixed asset investments
Investments are stated at market value as at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposal throughout the year.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
The charity 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.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash 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.
