Structure, Governance and management
The Lartington Foundation operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The date of the Constitution is 11[th] February 2025. The Trust was established by an initial gift from Mr J P Mayhew. The Trust does not actively fund raise and seeks to carry out charitable work desired by the donor. This is the first year the Charity has operated.
At Trustees’ meetings the trustees will agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance.
All trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year.
The Trustees when required will select investments which have a managed risk to provide income for the Charity as well as capital growth.
The Charitable objects are to relieve financial hardship to those engaged in farming or their dependents in County Durham and North Yorkshire by the provision of grants or other charitable support; and to support charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty; and such other exclusively charitable purposes as the charity trustees may in their absolute discretion think fit.
During the year a grant award has been made in the total sum of £4,200 to the Middlesbrough Diocese Charity.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Lartington Foundation
I report on the accounts of the The Lartington Foundation (Registered Charity No.1201612) for the year ending 31[st] March 2025 which are set out on page 2.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of 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 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with accounting requirements
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.
