## **NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Needham Trinity Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s CIO Constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (second edition) and Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102.
## **OBJECTIVES**
The Charity exists to promote the wellbeing and development of individuals within Ely, Cambridgeshire (the "Area of Benefit"), through a range of targeted charitable activities. Its objectives, as set out in the constitution, are:
## 1. Relief of Financial Hardship
The Charity provides financial support to individuals and families experiencing hardship within Ely and, in exceptional cases, the surrounding areas. This is achieved through grants that help cover the cost of essential items, services, or facilities that improve quality of life and alleviate financial stress.
## 2. Advancement of Education
We are committed to supporting educational opportunities for young people under the age of 25 who reside in or have attended schools in Ely. This includes:
- Supporting local schools and educational institutions by funding facilities not provided by the local authority.
- Offering scholarships, bursaries, and grants to assist with further education, vocational training, and personal development.
- Providing financial assistance for educational travel, music and arts studies, and preparation for professional or vocational careers.
## 3. Advancement of the Christian Faith
In line with our founding principles, we contribute a small portion of our annual income (not exceeding 1%) to support the ministry of the Church of Holy Trinity with St Mary in Ely.
These objectives guide our work and ensure that our resources are directed towards making a meaningful and lasting impact in the local community.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT**
## **Relief of financial hardship**
The Charity provided grants amounting to £8,327 to support the relief of financial hardship (2023: £8,140). These are detailed in Note 10.
## **Advancement of education**
During the year, the Charity made grants to 8 schools totalling £28,400 (2023: 8 schools totalling £70,510). See Note 10 for a breakdown of these grants.
## **Advancement of the Christian faith**
A grant of £1,500 was made to Ely Parochial Church Council during the year in support of the Christian faith (2023: £nil).
The Trustees continued to hold their board meetings at Ely Museum, which is an important part of Ely's heritage and an important facility for local schools.

## **NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Investment policy**
The financial objective of the Trustees when selecting investments is to achieve long-term total return comprising growth in capital and income. The Trustees invest in a diverse range of asset classes, with an emphasis on overseas equities, UK equities and property.
The Trustees avoid investments with weak environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials. For instance, the Trustees do not invest in companies that generate more than 10% of their revenue from the extraction and/or refining of oil and gas.
## **Investment performance**
The policy above is achieved by investing in the following assets.
## _**COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund and the COIF Charities Property Fund**_
The COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund is invested in a diverse range of assets, principally property and equities. The Fund has a wide range of ethical restrictions, such as excluding companies that derive more than 10% of revenue from extracting coal, oil and gas. The fund’s strategy is aligned with the Trustees’ Investment Policy.
The COIF Charities Property Fund aims to provide a high level of income and long-term capital appreciation. It is invested mainly in UK commercial property. The fund is managed in accordance with the policies of the Church of England’s Ethical Investment Advisory Group.
During the year, the COIF investments generated income totalling £19,419 (2023: £21,131). The unrealised gain amounted to £13,285 (2023: £38,258).
## _**Agricultural land**_
The Charity owns 147 acres of agricultural land. Management of the land is performed in house.
During the year, rental income amounted to £29,163 (2023: £17,452). The increase is due to the reletting of Wold Farm at an increased rent.
## _**Residential property (Newnham Street and Catherine Needham Arts Centre)**_
The Charity owns and lets out (through Keeleys Letting Agents) three properties in Ely: 20, 22 and 24 Newnham Street.
During the year, rental income totalling £32,567 (2023: £29,380) was generated. Keeleys’ professional fees amounted to £3,742 (2023: £3,567). Property inspection, maintenance and refurbishment costs totalled £6,365 (2023: £7,663).
The Charity also lets out the Catherine Needham Arts Centre to King’s School (an independent day and boarding school in Ely) on a commercial basis. During the year, rental income totalling £21,500 (2023: £21,500) was generated.
## **GRANT MAKING POLICY**
Grants are awarded based on the following key criteria:
- Schools and academies must be community or voluntary aided schools in the area of Ely.
- Individuals must be under 25, resident in the area of Ely and attending (or at some time have attended) a community or voluntary aided school in Ely for a minimum of 2 years.

## **NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
## **Fall in value of investments**
The Trustees believe that volatility in the value of the CCLA investment constitutes the most significant financial risk to the Charity. This risk is mitigated by having experienced fund managers and regular trustee oversight.
## **Non-payment of rent**
Failure of the tenants to pay rent would result in a material fall in income. This risk is mitigated through regular contact with tenants, helping to ensure that any circumstances causing non-payment of rent are addressed promptly.
## **Ineffective grants**
The Trustees consider that the most significant operational risk is providing grants that fail to further the charitable objectives of the Charity. This is mitigated by careful due diligence and, where deemed proportionate, regular monitoring.
## **Non-compliance with laws and regulations**
The Charity is required to comply with laws and regulations, such as the Charities Act 2011 and let property regulations. A breach of these regulations could be detrimental to the reputation of the Charity. The Trustees mitigate this risk by consulting external professionals with knowledge of these laws and regulations.
## **Risk management statement**
The charity trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems and procedures are established in order to manage the risks.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level equating to approximately 6 months of expenditure. The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient resources and time to respond to a sudden adverse shock on the operations of the Charity, minimising the impact on beneficiaries. The Trustees consider that 6 months is sufficient given the discretion they have over grant making, historic surpluses generated by the activities of the Charity and the relatively short time period required to realise investments, particularly those held with CCLA.
The operational cost of running the Charity for 6 months is estimated to be between £15,000 and £25,000. Free reserves (unrestricted funds less designated funds) equated to £62,300, which is above the reserves policy. The Trustees are close to completing a comprehensive governance review. Part of this review involves granting surplus free reserves.
## **FUNDRAISING PRACTICES**
The Charity does not actively engage in fundraising and does not employ or engage professional fundraisers. Therefore, the Charity is not registered with the Fundraising Regulator. However, this will be reviewed should fundraising activities increase in the future. In any case, the Charity is committed to avoiding any intrusive fundraising practices and will never pressurise potential donors.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Income from fundraising activities (rent from residential property, agricultural land and listed investments) amounted to £102,714 (2023: £89,463). Other income (wayleaves) amounted to £nil (2023: £22).
Expenditure on charitable activities (chiefly grants to schools) amounted to £45,518 (2023: £86,573). Expenditure on raising funds (cost of administering and maintaining the agricultural land and residential properties) amounted to £21,700 (2023: £28,800).
Other expenditure of £9,438 (2023: £29,916) represented legal and professional fees in respect of setting up a

## **NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
Needham Trinity Foundation and merging it with Needham's Foundation and Ely Trinity Dole.
The gain on revaluation of the investments was £13,285 (2023: £38,258).
Before investment gains, the Charity made a surplus of £26,058 (2023: £55,804 deficit). After investment gains, the overall surplus was £39,343 (2023: £17,546 deficit).
At the end of the reporting period, the Charity had net assets totalling £3,045,613 (2023: £3,006,270). Cash at bank and in hand amounted to £146,290 (2023: £93,824).
Unrestricted funds amounted to £3,045,613 (2023: £3,006,270), of which designated funds amounted to £2,983,313. For details of the purposes of these funds, please see note 19.
## **Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Structure**
The Needham Trinity Foundation operates under a Foundation model Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) constitution dated 11 December 2023, where the only voting members are the charity trustees. The appointment of new trustees is governed by the provisions set out in the constitution.
## **Trustees**
New charity trustees are appointed by resolution at a properly convened meeting of the existing trustees, typically for a term of three years. In making appointments, the trustees consider the skills, knowledge, and experience required for the effective administration of the charity. The constitution also provides for the appointment of ex officio and nominated trustees. The rector of Ely Holy Trinity with St Mary serves as an ex officio trustee for the duration of their incumbency, unless they choose to decline or nominate a suitable alternative from the church’s stipendiary clergy, subject to trustee approval.
Additionally, up to four trustees may be nominated by external bodies: one each by the Lord Bishop of Ely, the Dean and Chapter of Ely Cathedral, the Parochial Church Council of St Mary’s Ely, and the City of Ely Council. Each nominated trustee serves a three-year term, and appointments are made in accordance with the ordinary practices of the respective nominating bodies.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
## **Promoting greater awareness**
The Trustees plan to invest in promoting greater awareness of the Charity. Potential steps in the short-term include making better use of social media and developing a dedicated website.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
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 requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION ('the Charity')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT**
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.

## **NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1. GENERAL INFORMATION**
Needham Trinity Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation charity in England and Wales. Its registered office is 79 Ely Road, Little Downham, Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB6 2SN.
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity merged with two other charities on 31 December 2024: Needham's Foundation and Ely Trinity Dole. The Charity has followed the guidance in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) (second edition - October 2019) (effective 1 January 2019) in applying merger accounting to the results for the year ended 31 December 2024. Accordingly, the prior-year comparatives are prepared on the basis that the merged structure has always been in place.
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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published 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.
Needham Trinity Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **2.2 GOING CONCERN**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
There are no material uncertainties in relation to going concern.
## **2.3 INCOME**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

## **NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**
## **2.4 EXPENDITURE**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Governance costs relate to compliance with statutory and legal requirements.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **2.5 INTEREST RECEIVABLE**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **2.6 INVESTMENTS**
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **2.7 DEBTORS**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.8 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND**
Cash at bank and 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.

## **NEEDHAM TRINITY FOUNDATION**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**
## **2.9 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
## **2.10 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **2.11 FUND ACCOUNTING**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## **3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT**
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
## **Valuation of investment properties**
The investment properties orginally held by Needham's Foundation and Ely Trinity Dole have been valued by Maxey Grounds & Co LLP, a RICS registered firm of professional valuers. Many assumptions have to be made when valuing the agricultural land, residential properties and commercial property owned by the Charity, including rental yields and the condition of the properties. At the end of the reporting period, the carrying value of these assets amounted to £2,334,000 (2023: £2,334,000).
