Trustee Responsibilities for the Financial Statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.

The Peter Norrie Charitable Foundation CIO Notes to the Accounts for the period from 20 May 2024 to 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory Information

The Peter Norrie Charitable Foundation CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 1208325. The registered office is Suite 1, Unit 2, Stansted Courtyard, Parsonage Road, Takeley, Essex CM22 6PU.

b) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and "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 Peter Norrie Charitable Foundation CIO 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 notes.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Investment Income

Investment income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity has entitlement to the resources and to the extent that the resources will be received.

d) Charitable Activities

Grants payable are accounted for on the accruals basis when approved by the Trustees. Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Foundation to the expenditure. Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Foundation. The grants are charged in the year when formally awarded by the Foundation and communicated to the recipient irrespective of the period covered by the grant as they are regarded by the Trustees as financial obligations.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and costs linked to the management of the Foundation. These costs are allocated against charitable activities.

e) Investments

Investments are stated at fair value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.

The Peter Norrie Charitable Foundation CIO Notes to the Accounts for the period from 20 May 2024 to 31 March 2025

f) Fund Accounting

Capital Fund

This represents the original capital of the Foundation and accumulated growth. There are no restrictions to its use, and the Trustee tries to maintain this at a level which will generate sufficient income to cover annual expenditure.

Income Fund

This represents accumulated income over the years, less annual expenditure. The fund is primarily used to meet the annual expenditure and generate further income. The management committee consider it appropriate to maintain an income fund to provide reserves amounting to approximately 2 years of aggregate anticipated expenditure (comprising grant and annual grant awards and administrative expenses).

This level takes into account the possibilities of variances in investment income; an unexpected financial loss; any exceptional calls for grants; and operational losses not covered by insurance. The level of the Income Fund is adjusted principally through increasing and decreasing the level of grants. When the Foundation begins operating, it intends to maintain the Income Fund at £20,000, representing 2 years of aggregate expenditure.

g) Voluntary Income

Voluntary income is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty or receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

2 Income from activities

The income from dividends and interest which arose wholly within the United Kingdom, and the surplus, are wholly attributable to other charities worldwide, less governance costs.
