CHAIR’S FOREWORD

2021 saw an escalation of the scale and complexity of the challenges faced by Londoners on low incomes. The individuals, families and communities hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic were those already struggling the most, and there will be little respite as we face the worst cost of living crisis in a generation.

London continues to experience the highest levels of in-work poverty and in 2021 we doubled down on our commitment to ensure all Londoners earn at least a real Living wage. We awarded £4.8 million over four years to Citizens UK, for the campaign to make London a Living Wage City. The Trust has a long history of funding the London Living Wage movement and there has never been a more crucial time to fight for everyone in the city to be paid a decent wage.

2021 was a year of change for the Trust itself. Most notably, we said goodbye to our Chief Executive of 23- years, Bharat Mehta OBE. Following an external recruitment process, he was replaced by Manny Hothi, previously the Trust’s Director of Policy.

What’s next as we look ahead to 2022? We want to do more to tackle the injustices exposed by the pandemic. Building upon our experience working with Deaf and Disabled People’s organisations through our Strengthening Voices, Realising Rights initiative, we will launch a new initiative on disability justice. We will also launch a new initiative to support the economic empowerment of London’s Black and minoritised communities and do more to support households living in temporary accommodation.

2022 will be another year of change for the Trust. Sadly, we will say goodbye to longstanding colleagues, Director of Grants Sioned Churchill and Director of Finance Carol Harrison – both of whom are retiring. Sioned and Carol are experts in their fields and will be missed greatly. At the same time, we look forward to welcoming new colleagues that will be joining us from different sectors and backgrounds, building on the existing diversity within the Trust’s team.

We will also begin work on our next five-year strategy, which will launch in 2024. Our current strategy has served us well and the issues we fund remain pertinent, but the world has changed so much since it was launched in 2018. It is now time to look afresh and reflect on the difference we want to see over the second half of this decade.

The Trust has the privilege of a healthy endowment that gives us security and freedom to act. We know that this is a place of privilege from which to act, and we will continue to ask ourselves what more we can do to tackle the unacceptable levels of poverty and inequality in our capital city.

Jeff Hayes Chair of Board July 2022

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

The Trustee’s Annual Report

1. Overview

The overall objectives of the Trust are to tackle poverty in London through the Central Fund and to support the Church of England within London through the City Church Fund. This was the fourth year of the Central Fund’s 2018-2022 five-year funding programme which has been extended by one year to 2023. The number, size and destination of the grants awarded reflect that policy.

The financial position of the Trust was such that the endowment fund at the year end stood at £354 million, a decrease of £9 million from the value at the end of 2020, following a decision during the year to significantly increase grant distribution.

The history of the Trust is given at pages 40 and 41 of this report.

2. Structure, governance and management

2.1 Structure

The trustee is Trust for London Trustee which exists solely for the purpose of carrying out the duties of the trustee and associated activities of Trust for London. All financial transactions are reported by Trust for London.

These consolidated accounts incorporate the entities shown within the dotted lines. Trust for London also has a 30.22% equity holding in the Social Justice and Human Rights Centre Limited.

2.2 Trust for London funds

Trust for London is made up of three funds. The Central Fund which aims to tackle poverty and inequality, the City Church Fund for the advancement of religion and the Trust for London Common Investment Fund, established to pool the investment assets of the other two funds.

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

2.3 Trustee

Trust for London Trustee, the corporate trustee of the charity, has up to 18 Board member “trustees” who are normally appointed by a variety of nominating bodies or by itself. For its own appointments, a range of recruitment processes, including advertisement, are used, building on the trustee skills audit.

All the trustees are appointed on a five-year term. The administrative details regarding the Trustees are provided at page 42 of this report.

A full induction programme is provided for all new trustees. Both face-to-face where possible or electronic meetings and written information are provided and training opportunities are offered on an ongoing basis.

All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in notes 9 and 24 to the accounts. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises in accordance with policy.

2.4 Key management personnel remuneration

The trustees consider the Board of trustees and the senior management team 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. See note 9 for more information on setting key management remuneration.

2.5 Governance

The Board believes that it is best placed to achieve its mission and objectives if it has effective, accountable and transparent governance structures. It believes that, to a considerable extent, its current practices and thinking already reflect the seven principles of the Charity Governance Code, with the trustees having a clear understanding of the Trust’s organisational purpose and providing strategic leadership in line with the charity’s aims and values.

The Board, which meets quarterly, has ultimate oversight and responsibility for the Trust’s activities but has delegated decision making to Board Committees.

Through the work of the Governance Committee, and by conducting reviews of the Board’s governance arrangements, the Trust aims to ensure an appropriate, and diverse, balance of skills, experience and backgrounds amongst trustees. The Trust believes that effective decision-making is reflected throughout the organisation through a clear system of delegation and robust management and control systems. The Trust intends to continue to apply the Governance Code’s recommended practices to support further improvements in its governance standards therefore creating a culture whereby all involved can work effectively and sustainably to achieve the organisation’s charitable purposes.

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

The staff team, currently 27 and led by the Chief Executive, works for the Trust providing appropriate input into the policy debates, and the means of implementing all the decisions taken. In addition another two staff are employed by the Bellingham Community Project.

The advisers to the Trust, namely the Solicitors, the Property Investment Advisers, the Property Valuers, the Property Managing Agents, the Investment Managers and the Auditors, have an important role in raising issues and in some cases working with the staff on preliminary policy papers. The administrative details of the Trust’s advisers and key management personnel are provided on page 43 of this report.

2.6 Risk management

The Trust has a formal risk management process to assess business risks and implement risk management strategies in the context of the Trust’s strategic plan for 2018-2023. This involves identifying the types of risks it faces, categorising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, and identifying means of mitigating the risks.

The two most significant risks identified by the Trust and the plans and strategies for tackling these were:-

• 1) Adverse public and media comment in part due to increased working with commissioning bodies not under Trust’s direct control and from supporting “riskier” activities. The Trust strives to work with propriety at all times and seeks proper legal advice with regards to riskier areas of work. It has developed a communications strategy to ensure consistent messaging and undertaken crisis media training.

• 2) A crash in the financial and property markets and/or excessive volatility in the markets. The Trust uses asset allocation to spread portfolio risk and tasks the individual asset committees to assess risk. Securing good quality advice is also seen as a useful step towards minimising risk.

As part of the process the Trust reviews its existing internal controls, and ongoing work continues by all the working committees entrusted with oversight of control functions to ensure their adequacy.

2.7 Covid-19

The Board and Senior Management Team have been regularly monitoring and reporting on the potential impact of Covid-19 on the organisation and its stakeholders since March 2020, and have been taking the appropriate action to mitigate as far as possible any immediate and ongoing financial and operational impact. The areas under review are formally included within the risk management process and include the impact on grantees and subsidiary companies, the impact on cash flow, the protection of the endowment fund and the care and safety of staff in following Government regulations relating to the pandemic.

The endowment fund at the year end showed a 1% fall on 2020 with additional spending utlilising significant gains in previous years. The Board continues to monitor investment performance regularly. Expected rental incomes from property have also been scrutinised monthly.

Asset Allocation Committee reviewed rolling twelve month cashflow forecasts. A borrowing facility is in place to ensure the Trust would have sufficient cash flow without realising equity and property at below market value.

All staff were able to work remotely when needed ensuring that grants continued to be paid including £1.5 million to London Community Response Fund, the COVID relief fund.

As such, the Board considers that all appropriate steps have been taken to effectively manage the impact of Covid-19.

3 Objectives and activities for the public benefit

3.1 Core objects

The objects of the Central Fund are any charitable purposes, other than the advancement of religion, which are directed to the benefit of poor inhabitants in the area of benefit.

The Central Fund, through its grant making, aims to reduce poverty and inequality in London. It does this by funding the voluntary and community sector and others, as well as by using its own expertise and knowledge to support work that tackles poverty and its root causes.

The Trust considers that the relief and prevention of poverty is of public benefit to all.

The objects of the City Church Fund are the advancement of religion for the benefit of the public in accordance with the doctrines of the Church of England; the repair, restoration and maintenance or preservation of churches; the augmentation of clerical stipends; and the giving of theological instruction to persons preparing for Holy Orders.

The purposes to which the City Church Fund has to be applied are essentially religious. The monies have to be distributed in the following proportions: one third is given to the City churches within the City of London and two thirds to the six Dioceses of the Church of

Page 4

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

England, in whole or in part within the area of benefit, in such proportions as are determined by the Church Commissioners.

The Trustee confirms that it has had regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

3.2 Strategies employed to achieve objectives

The three key strategies employed to achieve these objectives are: -

i) Investment strategy

Use of permanent endowment

The Trust is authorised by the Charity Commission to pursue a total return approach to investment of the Trust’s permanent endowment. The total return approach enables the Trust to invest without differentiating between income and capital returns for expenditure purposes, which in practice allows the Trust to supplement its expenditure of income with a proportion of the capital gains that have accumulated over time. This facility is qualified by a duty to be even-handed as between present and future beneficiaries. In recognition of that duty the Trustees have since 2010 operated a policy that seeks to maintain the ‘real spending power’ of its 2002 investment fund, 2002 being the date at which the total return approach was first adopted. ‘Real spending power’ is defined as the 2002 value of the permanent endowment, updated annually for inflation, and is shown on the graph below as a green, central line. To allow for short-term investment volatility, Trustees aim to maintain value within a corridor of +/- 20% around the central line, shown in the graph as an upper and lower corridor. The graph shows the actual value of the endowment against the inflation adjusted 2002 value, and the corridors, since 2002.

----- End of picture text -----

Use of expendable endowment

The funds within the expendable endowment of the Central Fund are not subject to the total return order but with the agreement of the Charity Commission remain expendable.

Page 5

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

To enable the Trust to provide a regular and increasing stream of income for the Trust’s beneficiaries, the Trust has agreed that in addition to spending the income derived from the expendable endowment, it will also as required expend a proportion of the endowment fund itself.

The Trust also uses its expendable endowment to fund mission related investments.

ii) Grant making strategy

The performance of the Central Fund is usually reviewed against its grant objectives every five years and its priorities are revised accordingly to ensure that it reflects the charity’s objects and thereby advances public benefit. Each year an extensive review is also undertaken to identify gaps in the programme areas and steps taken to address these and to reflect on learning from the work. It is currently intended to continue making fewer but larger grants with the intention that those grants have more impact and to encourage greater engagement in all aspects of the work by people with first-hand experience of the issues being addressed.

The Trust operates through a significant open programme and through the funding of special initiatives. The open programme is available to any eligible applicant whilst the special initiatives are designed to achieve greater impact on poverty and supporting disadvantaged communities in London through a more targeted approach. This latter approach leads to the Trust becoming more ‘engaged’ as a funder and in ‘adding value’. The many and varied ways in which this has been achieved include having a greater potential to influence policy makers, government and other external bodies and a greater capacity to get relevant people around the table – through our capacity to act as an ‘honest broker’ due to our independence. The Trust produces an Annual Review at the following link - https://www.trustforlondon.org.uk/publications/annualreview2021 to enable it to communicate information about individual grants and also the wider themes that underpin its grant-making to stakeholders and interested parties.

iii) Resources strategy

The Trust uses its resources in ways other than grant making such as the provision of facilities for charitable purposes and in direct charitable work e.g. London’s Poverty Profile.

3.3 Activities

The major activities in the year were: -

• a) the management of investment and property portfolios

• b) the making of grants for the relief of poverty

• c) the provision of facilities at Resource for London and Bellingham (see 4 iii) a & b)

The City Church Fund grants were administered in accordance with the core objects and on the instructions of the Church Commissioners.

Page 6

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

There are additional disclosures required concerning fundraising regulations. The charity is aware of the regulations and, as it does not undertake fundraising activity, has nothing to disclose under the provisions of section 13 of the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016.

4 Financial review and achievements in the year

i) Income and investment performance

Income from investment properties decreased to £3.7 million (2020 - £4.6 million) reflecting economic conditions in retail and represented 40% of income. Dividends, alternative fund income and interest receivable were the same as in 2020 remaining at £3.7 million.

Investment performance is driven by asset allocation decisions, the state of the investment markets and the investment manager performance. The total returns by investment asset class (net of fees except property) are set out in the table below:

Sector	Common Investment Fund Total return 2021 %	Central & City Church Funds Total return 2021 %
Direct property portfolio	5.0	-
Global equities portfolios	13.6	19.0
Alternative funds portfolio	7.6	7.3
Cash and near cash portfolio	0.25	-
Total portfolio	9.0	12.5

Property Investments

The Trust has gained fund value with the Common Investment Fund property portfolio showing a total return of 5% in 2021 despite COVID.

The investment property portfolio is shown in the accounts at a fair value (market value) of £142 million (2020: £154 million). A significant West End investment property was sold for £27.35 million however there was also the acquisition of a property in the London City Fringes for £12 million.

The steps the Trust has taken to sell non-performing assets and restructure its property portfolio generally, to work risk within the portfolio and to increase the consistency of its rental income cash flows continue to lead to a better than benchmark performance by the portfolio.

BH2 manage the direct property portfolio on a non-discretionary basis and were set targets to improve and add to the portfolio within Central London; to increase the income yield and to de-risk the portfolio allowing other potentially riskier properties to be acquired within the existing risk management profile in terms of the lease maturities, exposure to voids and concentrated exposure to individual tenants. Their performance is included in the table above.

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

Loans

A loan facility negotiated through Cazenove Capital of which £2 million was drawn down remains in place at the end of the year. It is repayable in June 2022. Against a back drop of COVID uncertainty, it was seen as a useful tool in ensuring the Trust could meet future commitments without having to sell risk assets. This necessitated loan assets being moved to the Central and City Church funds.

Listed Investments

From a starting value of £157 million and in variable market conditions, the value of the portfolio of alternative assets and global and emerging market equities within the Common Investment Fund permanent endowment ended the year at £178 million, after having had £2.5 million of net funds withdrawn.

The Central Fund endowment ended the year at £38.2 million (2020: £34.3 million). The City Church Fund endowment ended the year at £7.6 million (2020: £6.9 million).

The investment managers are tasked to run actively managed portfolios for the Common Investment Fund on a discretionary basis with a mandate to outperform RPI by 4% net of fees. In 2022 this will change to CPI + 4%.

Social investments

The Trust committed to invest £1.515 million from the Central Fund expendable endowment in five social investments during the year. Three further investments totalling £12.5 million were agreed in principle. A further £97,000 was provided as grant support – both to catalyse new initiatives and as blended finance in two revenue participation investments. The total under management in Mission Related Investments at the year end was £6.1 million, as shown in note 11 to the accounts under mission related investments.

During the year a new Social Investment Manager was recruited, and a new post (Director of Social investment) created. This additional staffing capacity was agreed to help support the two key aims for the Trust’s social investment strategy:

1. To use concessionary social investment to help move frontline organisations and enterprises that are tackling poverty and inequality towards longer-term sustainability.

2. To continue to demonstrate that impact investments can offer good financial returns whilst also achieving positive social outcomes.

The building occupied by Resource for London, the Trust’s subsidiary, in the Holloway Road is shown under fixed assets. The Resource Centre is also considered as a social investment by Trust for London.

ii) Grants and grants related funding payable

Total grants payable in the year, including grants related funding and support and governance costs, were £37.7 million (2020: £23.2 million). Of this amount £22.1 million

Page 8

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

(2020: £15.4 million) was payable from the Central Fund and £15.6 million (2020: £7.8 million) was payable from the City Church Fund as detailed in note 8.

a) Grants made from the Central Fund

2021 was the fourth year of the five-year funding programme, now extended by one year to 2023, during which the Trust was distributing grants to tackle poverty and inequality in London with the following priorities: Good Homes and Neighbourhoods, Better Work, Decent Living Standards, Pathways to Settlement, Shared Wealth, Stronger Voices and Connected Communities (small groups).

The beneficiaries of our grant-making programme are ultimately the poor of London and those at risk of falling into poverty.

Grants receivable from other foundations and stakeholders have enhanced our own grantmaking on shared areas of interest. These have included joint initiatives including the renewal of funding for the Moving On Up Initiative – to increase the employment rate for young black men (with City Bridge Trust) and Strengthening Voice, Realising Rights which focused on support to the Deaf and Disabled community (with City Bridge Trust) and the London Housing Panel (GLA). In 2021 these totalled £863k (2020: £690k) (see notes 3 and 20).

In total 199 grants (2020: 227) were made to charitable organisations working in the field of prevention or relief of poverty in London, in response to our core objectives. Ths included 23 (2020: 98) emergency grants in response to COVID with an investment of £1m in the London Community Response Fund.

Significant grants during the year included:

• A grant of £4.8m to Citizens UK for a Living Wage campaign with the aim of making London a Living Wage City

• A grant of £500,000 to Real DDPO, leading a consortium of 5 Deaf and Disabled organisations to campaign to stop charges for social care.

• A grant of £130,000 to Women into Construction (WiC) to support 30 low-paid female construction workers to gain the professional confidence and skills to move into better paid, more secure employment.

• A grant of £242,600 for a Crowdfunder programme to match fund small groups projects in outer London boroughs.

We published ourselves, or by providing funding to organisations, 39 reports during the year including:

• Left Behind: Single parents with pre-school aged children and job-seeking under Universal Credit in London, Gingerbread .

• Evaluating Disability Hate Crime: A Handbook for Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations, Merton Centre for Independent Living

• Where Now for the Private Rented Sector? London School of Economics

• Homelessness and Welfare Benefits in London, Homeless Link

Page 9

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

• A Minimum Income Standard for London 2020. Loughborough University

• Nobody’s Home: How wealth investment locks Londoners out of housing, Action on Empty Homes

• ‘To help workers, I would tell the government to...’ participatory research with workers in the UK hospitality sector, Focus on Labour Exploitation

• Involving Young Londoners: A toolkit for peer research

During the year we were also actively developing three new major initiatives on Better Temporary Accommodation; Racial Justice and Disability Justice. These new funds will be launched in 2022 but work in 2021 involved commissioning research, roundtable discussions and stakeholder interviews to inform the focus and remit of each of these Initiatives.

We had significant media coverage over the year in outlets such as the BBC, The Sun, Guardian, Daily Mail and the Times. Our Twitter following increased by 0.7% to 24,686. There were also an increase in visitors to our website, with the London Living Wage and Apply for a Grant pages being most popular. London Challenge Poverty Week held in October 2021 was a highlight with lived experience videos, blog posts and the launch of the borough-level London’s Poverty Profile data, which generated a high level of engagement.

Our funding plus programme continued to provide support on advice services qualifications, outcome and impact training, and media training. We also ran a peer learning session which focused on ‘managing mental health’.

The £4,342,827 that was unspent on Central Fund grants (2020: £476,058) will be carried forward to 2022 and this is reflected as restricted funds in the balance sheet.

An analysis of grants made from the Central Fund in 2021 other than that to Bellingham Community Project is shown in the chart below:

iii) Subsidiary charities

a) Resource for London

In 1992 the Trust applied funds to the conversion of a property to house Resource for London at 356 Holloway Road, London N7. This subsidiary is itself a registered charity and is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee. The objective of Resource for London is to provide office space and meeting rooms to London based charitable organisations at an affordable rent.

Ethical Property Company continues to manage the Centre under a fifteen year lease granted in 2017 and works closely with the Board of Resource for London to meet this objective. COVID severely impacted the Centre’s operations and meeting room bookings but tenants are returning to offices and bookings are showing signs of improvement.

The accounts of Resource for London show a net unrestricted income of £68k and net restricted income of £17k (2020: total net expenditure £145k). It had total funds at 31 December 2021 of £438k (2020: funds £352k).

The performance of Resource for London is shown in the SOFA within the restricted funds of the Charity. The statutory accounts are available from our offices.

b) Bellingham Community Project

The Trust owns property in Lewisham, London SE6. The Bellingham site comprises a 12 acre playing field. The playing fields are the direct responsibility of the Trust through its subsidiary, Bellingham Community Project Limited (BCP), a registered charity, which runs a leisure and lifestyle centre on the site for the benefit of the local community. The Centre is run by the LB Lewisham and comes under the day-to-day management of Greenwich Leisure, their borough-wide sports facilities provider. The principal funders of this £4 million building were Sport England, the Trust itself and LB Lewisham.

The Trust took on in 2016 90% of the costs of BCP’s repair obligations falling to it under the lease with LB Lewisham for the Centre, on the condition that BCP remained responsible for the first 10% of the costs and that BCP transferred £200,000 of its reserves to the Trust for spending on activities that benefitted the residents of Lewisham.

The directors aim is to continue to develop the facilities on the site and they are committed to ensuring that the charges for the facilities will be affordable by the local community.

COVID again impacted with activities being either put on hold or local community support services having to be differently delivered. The Centre re-opened in May 2021 with strict COVID limitations and social distancing in place.

The accounts of the Project show net outgoing resources of £33k (2020: incoming £11k) after receipt of £20k (2020: £45k) in grants from the Trust. It had total net assets at 31 December 2021 of £2.7 million (2020: £2.7 million).

Page 12

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

Bellingham Community Project Management Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Project, showed a net loss of £320 (2020: loss £286).

The performance of the Project is shown in the SOFA within the restricted funds of the Charity. The statutory accounts are available from our offices.

Both subsidiaries work towards the relief and prevention of poverty and, the Trust considers, provide public benefit. Resource for London is open to all charitable organisations in London and Bellingham Community Project is for the benefit of the people of Bellingham and its surrounding community, irrespective of wealth.

5 The Foundry

The Social Justice and Human Rights Centre Limited (also known as The Foundry) has been an associate entity of the Trust since the equity share holding acquired in a loan/equity swap in June 2017. A Trust representative sits on the Board to represent the Trust’s interests. Based on the 30 September 2021 accounts, the share of the profit and loss attributable to the Trust was £(1)k (2020: £(59)k) and the carrying value of the Trust’s investment in the Foundry was £3.383 million (2020: £3.384 million).

6 The London Trust

The London Trust is a sister charity of Trust for London but whose accounts are not consolidated with it. It is dormant and it is intended that The London Trust will be wound up in due course. The statutory accounts are available from our offices.

7 Going Concern

Financial resources are well placed to manage the business risks. Our planning processes have taken into account the current uncertain economic climate and its potential impact on sources of income. In particular the Board and Senior Management Team have been regularly monitoring and reporting on the potential impact of Covid-19 on the organisation and its stakeholders since March 2020, and have been taking the appropriate action to mitigate as far as possible any immediate and ongoing financial and operational impact. The areas under review are formally included within the risk management process and include the impact on grantees and subsidiary companies, the impact on cash flow, the protection of the endowment fund and the care and safety of staff in following Government regulations relating to the pandemic. The Board has considered budgets and forecasts for the period to December 2022 and are satisfied the funds available within the Trust's substantial endowment are sufficient to cover existing commitments and planned spending over this period. As such, the Board considers that all appropriate steps have been taken to effectively manage these risks and that overall there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity's ability to continue. The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.

8 Reserves policy

It is the Trust’s policy not to maintain any unrestricted reserves as ongoing working capital is available from the endowment under the total return policy adopted. The total value of funds at 31 December 2021 was £363.2 million, of which the endowment stood at £354.2 million with the balance of funds being £4.7 million of restricted funds relating to the Trust’s subsidiaries and £4.3 million of restricted funds being the amount unspent from the grant budget, a proportion of which is permitted to be carried over at the year end.

9 Staff remuneration

Trust for London, a Living Wage employer, is committed to ensuring that we pay our staff fairly and in a way which ensures we attract and retain the right skills to have the greatest impact in delivering our charitable objectives.

In accordance with the Charities SORP FRS 102 the Trust discloses:-

• all payments to trustees (no trustees are remunerated)

• the number of staff in receipt of more than £60,000 and above (in bands of £10,000)

• • pensions and other benefits

In addition the Trust publishes on its website key facts about salaries including ‘high to low’ pay ratios, staff salary bands and pay gap data, both by gender and ethnicity.

The Trust’s Chair, in consultation with the Vice Chair and Chair of Finance & Resources Committee, has governance responsibility for the oversight of the Chief Executive’s pay reviews, whilst the Trust’s Finance & Resources Committee have oversight of staff pay reviews. Both report to the Board of Trustees.

The Finance & Resources Committee meets annually to consider staff remuneration. The Chief Executive and members of the Senior Management Team are in attendance for the meeting. Its main responsibilities are to:-

• conduct five-yearly reviews of staffing structures and salaries

• decide the terms and conditions of service of the Trustee’s staff

• approve the annual cost of living percentage increase (which can be zero) taking into account a variety of indices

• approve any incremental increases

• approve any pay awards and staff salary increases outside of the annual review process as recommended from time to time by the Chief Executive

• • determine pension arrangements

• approve staff policies

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

Our remuneration policy

The Trust’s pay and grading policy will:

• determine the appropriate grade for all posts through the use of our Grade Profiles

• aim for consistency, fairness, transparency, and legal compliance within our grading and pay practice

• monitor our grading and pay practice to ensure that it complies with equal pay for work of equal value legislation and the best principles of equity

• take account of pay market data and practice within other comparable organisations when reviewing pay scales every five years

• develop pay levels that reflect appropriate internal differentials, and the need to recruit and retain high quality staff and be in keeping with our position as a charitable organisation

• provide pay progression on the basis of annual increments until the top of grade has been achieved

• refer to a range of indices and other sources of information on pay market movements in order to determine any appropriate cost of living increase, whilst also taking account of the charity’s financial circumstances and affordability

The appropriateness and relevance of the pay and grading policy is reviewed every five years including reference to comparisons with other charities ensuring the Trust remains sensitive to the broader issues e.g. pay and employment conditions elsewhere.

We aim to recruit, subject to experience, at a lower point within a band, providing scope for increases in line with experience. We pay any interns the London Living wage.

In 2021-22 the Trust awarded staff a 1.5% cost (2020-21 – 2.25%) of living increase in salary effective from April 2021. Five (2020 – four) members of staff earn more than £60,000 per annum (being one remunerated between £60,000 and £70,000, three remunerated between £80,000 and £90,000 and one remunerated between £100,000 and £110,000). The Chief Executive is the highest paid member of staff. Further information on staffing costs and pensions is presented in the notes to the financial statements.

10 Plans for the future

The year ahead will be one of change for the Trust. Two long-serving senior members of staff, Sioned Churchill and Carol Harrison, will be retiring. For the first time in 20 years, the Trust will have a new Senior Management team in place to steward the organisation going forward.

Alongside the personnel changes, we will be making substantial changes to our key backoffice system. We will transition to using Salesforce which should enable us to be more agile and digital and improve the experience of grant-seekers of engaging with the Trust. Within the Grants Team, we will also explore new ways of working, including a stronger thematic focus in the portfolio of Grant Managers.

Other significant changes will include the greater delegation of grant-making power to senior staff, with Trustees involvement on grant decisions limited to high-risk applications. Our Grants Committees will refocus their time on gathering insights from our funded work, including improving our understanding of impact.

Page 15

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

We will regrettably pause our June round of open grants to facilitate the changes above to take place without overwhelming the capacity of our staff to operate. However, we will launch two exciting new funds to tackle injustice so cruelly exposed during the pandemic. The Racial Justice Fund will support organisations that aim to tackle racial injustice through the economic empowerment of Black and minoritised communities in London. The Disability Justice Fund will support deaf and disabled people’s organisations in London to campaign for deaf and disabled people.

11 Trustee matters

Since the last accounts were published, Councillor Joseph Ejiofor has stepped down and Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz been appointed. Tara Flood has also ended her term of office.

The work of the Trustee has been as efficiently supported as ever by the staff, to whom the Trust for London is very grateful for their enthusiasm, loyalty and commitment.

12 Statement of Trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the Trustee’s annual report and the financial statements

Under the trust deed of the charity and charity law, the Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The group and charity's financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and the charity and of the group's excess of expenditure over income for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the Trustee:

• selects suitable accounting policies and then applies them consistently;

• observes the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;

• makes judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• states whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• states whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepares the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group and the charity will continue in business.

The Trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. It is responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the Trustee to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by it under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision.

Page 16

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

The Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

13 Disclosure of information to auditor

The Trustee who held office at the date of approval of this Trustee’s report confirms that, so far as it is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Trust’s auditor is unaware; and the Trustee has taken all the steps that it ought to have taken as a Trustee to make itself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Trust’s auditor is aware of that information.

By order of the Trustee

Jeff Hayes 1 July 2022

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustee of Trust for London

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Trust for London (‘the charity’) and its subsidiaries (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Group and Charity Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the group’s income and receipt of endowments and expenditure, for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's or the group’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Page 18

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

Other information

The trustee is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustee’s report; or

• sufficient and proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of the trustee

As explained more fully in the trustee’s responsibilities statement, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustee is responsible for assessing the group and the parent charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 19

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity and group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity’s and the group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity and the group for fraud.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustee and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Page 20

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Finance and Resources Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 Basis of preparation of financial statements and assessment of going concern

Trust for London is a charity registered in England and Wales governed by a 31 December 2004 scheme which operates from 4 Chiswell Street London EC1Y 4UP.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, Charities Acts 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).

Financial resources are well placed to manage the business risks. Our planning processes have taken into account the current uncertain economic climate and its potential impact on sources of income. In particular the Board and Senior Management Team have been regularly monitoring and reporting on the potential impact of Covid-19 on the organisation and its stakeholders since March 2020, and have been taking the appropriate action to mitigate as far as possible any immediate and ongoing financial and operational impact. The areas under review are formally included within the risk management process and include the impact on grantees and subsidiary companies, the impact on cash flow, the protection of the endowment fund and the care and safety of staff in following Government regulations relating to the pandemic. The Board has considered budgets and forecasts for the period to December 2022 and are satisfied the funds available within the Trust's substantial endowment are sufficient to cover existing commitments and planned spending over this period. As such, the Board considers that all appropriate steps have been taken to effectively manage these risks and that overall there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity's ability to continue. The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. The Board continues to monitor investment performance regularly.

The accounts 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Trust for London meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the trustee is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the accounts are described in the accounting policies and are summarised below:

Valuation of investment properties and valuation of land and buildings - the charity’s investment properties and land and buildings other than the Bellingham Leisure & Lifestyle Centre are stated at their estimated fair value based on professional valuations as disclosed in notes 10 and 11

Multi-year grant commitments - the charity recognises future liabilities discounted to their present value where material.

No material loss to investment value post balance sheet has arisen as a result of coronavirus.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemptions in FRS 102 from the requirements to present a charity only Cash Flow Statement and certain disclosures about the charity’s financial instruments.

2 Accounting policies

(i) Basis of consolidation

Resource for London and Bellingham Community Project Limited have been treated as subsidiary undertakings as defined in the SORP. Therefore all their transactions are accounted for gross in these accounts. The funds of these subsidiaries have been treated as restricted funds of the charity. Bellingham Community Project Management Company Limited is treated as a subsidiary as defined in the SORP. The costs of this company are shown on separate lines in the Statement of Financial Activities.

(ii) Income and expenditure

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities 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.

All income is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Grants receivable and donations are recognised upon notification in writing of the amount awarded or donated and date of entitlement.

Year ended 31 December 2021

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Accounting policies (continued)

Resource for London rent, service charge income and similar income represents income from the operation of Resource for London at 356 Holloway Road, London, N7.

Investment income and related tax credits are recognised upon notification in writing of the amount and date of entitlement.

In some cases the Trust pays property expenses on behalf of its tenants and recovers these expenses in full. In such circumstances the Trust has thought it appropriate to show these service charge expenses as a deduction from income on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities. Liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Raising funds comprise those operational costs directly attributable to managing the investment and property portfolio and raising investment and rental income, those expended on marketing and an appropriate proportion of general overheads which are identifiable wholly or mainly in support of raising funds. Charitable activities include grants made for charitable purposes from the Central Fund at the discretion of the Trust. These are charged to grants payable when they are approved by the Trust and notified to the beneficiaries. When grants are withdrawn or unclaimed they are shown as a deduction from grants payable. Grants made by the Trust but not paid at the year end are carried forward as a liability. They also include grants staff costs, consultants and an appropriate proportion of general overheads which are identifiable wholly or mainly in support of charitable expenditure. Resource for London costs relate directly to the operation of Resource for London. Bellingham Community Project costs relate directly to the operation of Bellingham Community Project. Costs of trading subsidiary relate to the operations of Bellingham Community Project Management Company Ltd. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the governance arrangements of the Trust as opposed to those associated with charitable activity. They cover the costs of compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and include audit fees, legal fees and costs of trustee meetings. They are shown within charitable activities and raising funds in an appropriate proportion. (iii) Financial instruments Trust for London 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 the present value of future cash flows (amortised cost). Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, short term cash deposits and the group’s debtors excluding prepayments. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise the group’s short and long term creditors excluding deferred income and taxation payable. No discounting has been applied to these financial instruments on the basis that the periods over which amounts will be settled are such that any discounting would be immaterial. Investments (excluding property) are included in the balance sheet at their fair value as described in iv below. (iv) Investments

Freehold and leasehold investment properties are included in the balance sheet at fair value (market value) at the balance sheet date. The valuation was prepared as at 31 December 2021 by Cluttons, Chartered Surveyors, in accordance with R.I.C.S. guidelines. The previous valuation had been carried out at 31 December 2020. Listed investments and indirect property holdings are shown at the middle market price ruling at the balance sheet date, with the exception of certain indirect property holdings which are shown at net asset value. Unlisted investments are shown at cost less impairment..

Gains and losses are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities and allocated to the respective funds.

v) Associate entities Associate entities are included in the balance sheet under the equity method of accounting ie initially recognised at cost and then subsequently adjusted to to reflect the charity's share of the post-acquisition change in the net assets of the associate.

(vi) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised. All fixed assets other than freehold land and buildings are shown at cost less depreciation.

Freehold land and buildings other than the Bellingham Leisure & Lifestyle Centre is included in the balance sheet at fair value (market value) at the balance sheet date. The valuation was prepared as at 31 December 2021 by Cluttons, Chartered Surveyors, in accordance with R.I.C.S guidelines. The previous valuation had been carried out at 31 December 2020.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write each asset down to its estimated residual value in equal instalments over its expected useful life as follows:

Investment freehold land and buildings - nil: Operational freehold buildings - 50 years: Operational leasehold land and buildings - life of the lease: Assets in the course of construction - nil: Leasehold improvements 4%: Computer equipment - 25%: Leisure & Lifestyle Centre equipment - 10%: Furniture and fittings - 20%

(vii) Short term cash deposits

Short term cash deposits are bank and money market deposits which do not have instant access but have a requirement for no more than three months notice before withdrawal.

(viii) Pensions

There is a group personal pension scheme for staff. Contributions are accounted for as and when the amounts become payable.

2 Accounting policies (continued)

(ix) Fund accounting

Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trust in furtherance of the general objectives of the Trust.

The investment assets of the Central Fund and the City Church Fund are held within the Trust for London Common Investment Fund. These assets are permanently endowed. Trustees confirm that, as per the total return policy adopted, funds can be transferred from the endowment fund to meet current liabilities obligations as they fall due.

(x) Taxation

Trust for London is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable trust for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received, as long as the income and gains are all within categories covered by Part 10 Income Tax Act 2007 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, and to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. Income tax will be payable to the extent that these conditions are not met.

Where appropriate, costs are shown inclusive of VAT as the charity is partially unable to recover VAT on its activities.

5 Total return transfers between funds

On 10 November 2003, the Charity Commissioners authorised the Trust to adopt a Total Return approach to the management of its investment portfolios. On 1 January 2003 the Trust adopted this approach and selected 31 December 1942 as the reference date from which the permanently endowed funds have been analysed between the trust for investment and the unapplied total return, the two components of a permanent endowment specified in the Charity Commission's regulations.

Under the total return approach, the Trust is permitted to allocate from the total return element of permanent endowment to the trust for application (income) such sums as it thinks appropriate in furtherance of its work providing it undertakes prescribed tasks. These tasks are essentially to exercise its statutory duty to be even-handed as between present and future beneficiaries, to maintain the balance of the unapplied total return at such a level that it will remain positive considering the volatility of investment markets and to take such professional advice as it considers necessary in the exercise of these responsibilities.

The Trust’s strategy is to manage the endowment effectively in order to maximise the amount available for distribution whilst maintaining the real value of the Trust’s permanent endowment.

The entitlement of the two participating funds in the Common Investment Fund (also known as the Pool) at 1 January 2021 was 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund. The entitlement remains unaltered at the year end at 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund. The average entitlement over the year which is to be applied to the income distribution is also unaltered from 2020 and is 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund. As a result, the allocation of income, gains and related expenditure across the two endowments has therefore been in the ratio 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund.

The entitlement of the two participating funds in the Common Investment Fund (also known as the Pool) at 1 January 2020 was 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund. The entitlement remains unaltered at the year end at 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund. The average entitlement over the year which is to be applied to the income distribution is also unaltered from 2019 and is 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund. As a result, the allocation of income, gains and related expenditure across the two endowments has therefore been in the ratio 59.8% Central Fund and 40.2% City Church Fund.

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

History

On 10 August 1878, a Royal Commission was appointed to investigate the parochial charities of the City of London. Its report resulted in the City of London Parochial Charities Act, 1883. This Act provided that the five largest parishes should continue to manage their own charitable endowments, but that the bulk of the remainder should be administered by a new corporate body, to be known as the Trustees of the London Parochial Charities, with perpetual succession and a Common Seal. The Act further provided that the Charity Commissioners should prepare Schemes for the proper application of these funds. It defined the area of benefit as the City of London and the Metropolitan Police District of London, the largest boundary definition available for Greater London. The outcome was a Scheme promulgated on 23 February 1891 which brought all the endowments together into two funds, a City Church Fund and a Central Fund. Together these constituted the City Parochial Foundation, with the Trustees under the 1883 Act serving as the Foundation's Central Governing Body.

The assets of the City Parochial Foundation derive from the philanthropy of the people of London. Around 1,400 separate charitable gifts and bequests, some of them 400 years old, were held by the 112 parishes within the City of London, to be used for the benefit of the churches or, more often, the poor of those parishes. During the 19th century, the City grew to be a world financial centre and the income of these charities, many endowed with City properties, rose substantially. In contrast, the number of beneficiaries fell. Some parishes had no residents at all.

In 1986 the City Parochial Foundation became the Trustee of the Trust for London. At the outset the Trust was endowed with £10m derived from the sale of the Greater London Council’s assets. It targeted small locally based community organisations which were independent of larger bodies.

The City Parochial Foundation was governed by the 1891 Central Scheme and various subsequent amending Schemes and orders.

At 1 January 2002 a single Common Investment Fund was established by City Parochial Foundation to pool the investment assets of the Central and City Church Funds and manage the endowment in a more effective and efficient manner.

The entitlement of the two participating funds in the Combined Fund at 1 January 2002 was 60% Central Fund and 40% City Church Fund, such proportions being settled by reference to the ten year historical average of distributable income of each fund prior to that date. The entitlement of the two funds may change over time.

City Parochial Foundation adopted the total return approach with effect from 1 January 2003.

By an Order of the Charity Commissioners dated 31 December 2004, the City Parochial Foundation Trustee, a newly created charitable company limited by guarantee, was appointed as the trustee of City Parochial Foundation.

Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2021 of Trust for London

This change took effect from 1 January 2005 and the Trustees serving on the Foundation’s Central Governing Body on that date became Directors and Trustees of the new company. This company was also appointed as trustee of Trust for London with effect from 19 February 2005 in place of City Parochial Foundation by a similar Order of the Charity Commissioners.

At 1 January 2010, all the assets and liabilities of the Trust for London were transferred to City Parochial by an Order of the Charity Commissioners dated 11 December 2009.

As from 26 March 2010 the Central Governing Body was renamed the Board.

Trust for London continued its separate grant making programme under an indemnity from the Foundation until 30 June 2010 when the two grant programmes were combined, within the Central Fund, under new unified grant guidelines. All the entities were rebranded as at 1 July 2010. City Parochial Foundation Trustee was renamed Trust for London Trustee, City Parochial Foundation was renamed Trust for London and the former Trust for London was renamed The London Trust.

In September 2013 an order was obtained from the Charity Commission giving permission for a loan facility agreement to be made between the Common Investment Fund and the Central Fund in order to enable the Trust to manage better its internal cash flow.

The Trust celebrated its 125[th] anniversary in 2016 and after thirty years in Middle Street moved to new office premises in Chiswell Street in 2018.
