The object of the charity is to promote the efficiency of the Regiment in such charitable ways as the trustees may decide.
The Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel’s Fund remains available to pay for the repair, maintenance and insurance of the property held by The Coldstream Guards Chattels Charity.
2. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
In May 1991 the Charity Commission approved that all the above Funds should be administered and managed upon the subsisting trusts thereof, as varied or affected by the scheme provisions, under the Regimental Investment Pool Fund. Separate accounts are prepared for the Investment Pool, or Common Investment Fund (registered charity 1091674) showing the allocation of its Capital and Income to the various funds herein.
If the income of the separate funds is not required for application in accordance with the subsisting trusts, the trustees may apply the same for charitable purposes in connection with the Coldstream Guards Regiment and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing may apply the same in accordance with subsisting trusts of any other one or more of those charities.
3. TRUSTEES
The Trustees are listed on the charity information page 6.
The Trustees are appointed as follows:One Ex-officio Trustee being the Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel of the Regiment Two Nominated Trustees appointed by the Ex-officio Trustee for a term of four years
Two or three Co-opted Trustees appointed by the Ex-officio and Nominated Trustees for a term of five years
The Nominated and Co-opted Trustees are recruited from former serving Guardsmen. They are asked if they would like to be a Trustee and appointed at the next Trustees meeting. As former Guardsmen, they have a knowledge of how the Regiment operates.
Trustees’ Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The trustees 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).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales/Northern Ireland 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:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards 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 charity will continue in operation.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
Trustees’ Responsibilities for the Financial Statements (Continued)
The trustees are responsible for keeping 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 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.
4. RISK MANAGEMENT REVIEW
The Trustees review the major risks to which the charity is exposed, at their regular meetings, in particular those related to the finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to major risks.
5. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The investments are held centrally by The Coldstream Guards Common Investment Fund. In accordance with the trust deed, the trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property as they see fit. The trustees have engaged Schroder & Co Limited as fund managers, with the trustees, and a delegated investment advisor, who is one of the trustees, reviewing their performance.
The fund managers have been set specific objectives and a performance benchmark by the delegated investment advisor, to produce a steady level of income sufficient to meet the normal working capital of the underlying charities.
6. RESERVES POLICY
The trustees hold sufficient reserves to meet the charitable and administrative expenditure for foreseen circumstances consistent with the charitable objects, whilst also retaining additional reserves for contingencies which might reasonably be expected to arise given the nature of the charity and the potential needs of its beneficiaries. The Trustees take into consideration the longer term effects on beneficiaries as well as shorter term demands. Some specific funds raised have been designated.
7. PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees have complied with section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 requiring them to have regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission; the various charities covered by this Report assist service personnel to more efficiently perform their roles within the British Army, and continue to provide assistance to past service personnel and their families for the relief of hardship, need and the effects of disability, all of which maintains the identity and strength of the Regiment.
8. ACTIVITIES
The 1[st] Battalion continue to promote active fundraising for the Regiment, which has been actively deployed. Funds were applied to assist Coldstreamers, and activities were assisted in order to promote and maintain the strength of the Regiment. The aims and objectives of the charities do not change significantly from year to year, whilst the trustees remain responsive to changes in needs of Coldstreamers and their families according to circumstances.
The Charitable Funds were able to assist 49 (2021: 55) welfare cases by way of grants, and 17 (2021: 9) organisations by way of donations.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE
COLDSTREAM GUARDS REGIMENTAL FUNDS
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022 on pages 9 to 19 which require an independent examiners report.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
At 30 September 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of the Accounts
These accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention modified to include investments are at market value. The significant accounting policies applied are set out below, and have been consistently applied to all years presented. The charity adopted SORP (FRS102) in the current year and there have not been any adjustments that affect the reported financial position.
Income recognition
Voluntary income comprising donations, legacies and similar resources are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activity as they are receivable, being the earlier of notification of a distribution amount or receipt. Tax claims on Gift Aided donations are accounted for in the year in which they are received.
Investment income is accounted for by the charity and recognised in the Statement of Financial Activity, as the charity’s right to receive income is established and reported from the Fund Managers. It is allocated to the Coldstream Guards Regimental Charitable Funds from the Coldstream Guards Common Investment Fund which holds the investments in the capital proportion belonging to each separate fund, and this is also reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities in the underlying charities reports.
Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is accounted for as it is incurred by the charity and is classified under headings that aggregate the costs relating to that category. If an expense is paid after the year end and is significant it is also recognised in the Statement of Financial Activity. Grants are accounted for when these become an unconditional obligation by the charities.
Recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognised in full in the accounts as soon as an obligation arises.
Investments
Investments in the Regimental Common Investment Fund are included at market value.
Stock
Stocks are included at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
Fixed assets and Regimental property
Assets purchased are owned by the Coldstream Guards Chattels Charity and fall into two categories:
a) Enduring assets
These include medals, pictures, silver, display cases and other items that have been or will be owned for many years. When these assets are purchased the cost is considered an amount due from the Coldstream Guards Chattels Charity should the asset be sold in the future, and is carried in the Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel’s Fund Balance Sheet. Sale proceeds and insurance claims are credited to this amount due.
b) Expendable assets
These include IT equipment, printers and other office equipment the use of which will result in the asset reducing in value. These assets are expensed in the Statement of Financial Activity in the year of purchase.
c) Assets in use as Regimental Property
This comprises assets that are used by the Regiment and rented out at other times. They are depreciated over the expected useful life of the asset.

COLDSTREAM GUARDS REGIMENTAL FUNDS
REGIMENTAL SUBSCRIPTIONS FROM "ONE DAY’S PAY" SCHEME FUND
OBJECTS
This Fund is supported by voluntary subscriptions from serving officers and soldiers for assisting past and present members of the Regiment at the discretion of the Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel. Annually amounts are transferred to The Coldstream Guards Association and Officers Central Fund; this represents subscriptions on behalf of serving officers and soldiers who make the donation of the equivalent of one day’s pay. No amounts of income are accumulated.
Some of the One Day’s Pay Scheme monies are directly allocated to Household Division Funds.
The One Day’s Pay is collected monthly under the Give As You Earn scheme. The amounts received from officers are historically 30% of the total collected.
In 2012/2013 the allocation of One Day’s Pay was reviewed so that at least half the One Day’s Pay is devoted to the benevolent assistance of reservists, ex soldiers and their families in need.
