| SMALLWOOD TRUST | Trustee's Report | For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 rt : Smallwood Trust (Trustee) Limited ("the Trustee") presents its annual report together with the audited financial | statements of the Charity for the year 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. | The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 of the | financial statements and comply with the Trust's governing documents (The Charity Commission Schemes of 2 | MayNovember2017 1917,and 1st9 NovemberNovember 1928, 29th2019), the Octoberarticles 2019 andof association the sectionof Smallwood 280 resolutionsTrust of(Trustee) the trusteesLimited, dated the18 ! Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities (SORP 2019) (effective 1 January 2019). : Objectives and activities | a. Policies and objectives The charitable object as set out in the Schemes is the application of the income of the Trust for the benefit of | women in poverty. | The Trust’s primary purpose is to provide direct financial assistance by way of grants to women on low incomes ! and to provide grant funding to charities, social enterprises and other non-profit organisations to help deliver the | Trust’s mission of enabling women to be financially resilient. | UK Poverty is gendered. Women are more likely to live in poverty than men. Women’s poverty is largely | explained by the unequal position of women in society which is exacerbated by caring status, ethnicity, heaith, | age, sexuality, gender identity and disability. Systems such as the labour market, the design of social security ; and the role of paid and unpaid care all contribute to gendered poverty. Without a gender lens, existing gender | inequalities are reinforced and the root causes of gendered poverty persist. | The Trust's funding aims to help women in or at risk of poverty become self-reliant and financially independent : both through the provision of direct financial assistance and funding for non-profit organisations that aim to | encourage financial stability and help overcome barriers such as low income, debt, economic abuse, poor | housing or mental health concerns. ! There is clear evidence for our approach to ensuring public benefit: | , Women’s access to resources and opportunities is typically narrower and more constrained than that of : men; } . Disadvantaged women have poorer labour market attachment, and are more likely to head poverlyprone | households; . Young women make up the majority of people not in employment, education and training, many because | of caring for others; . The rate of poverty amongst ethnic minority women in the UK is much higher than other groups; | . The links between gender and poverty are most visible in single adult households; | . Part-time work and low pay are more prevalent among women as a result of gender discrimination and ) constraints due to caring; and . Persistent poverty is more fikely to involve women and women are also more likely to suffer recurrent ) spells of poverty. | 7 Therefore, to help meet our charitable objectives, the Trustee has agreed the following vision, mission and ; values statements: : VISION : Our vision is a country where no woman lives in poverty.

Objectives and activities (continued)

Our mission is to enable women to be financially resilient.

. Fairness and honesty in everything we do

: . Pride in our work and the Trust : . Good stewardship of our resources | * A proactive commitment to continuous improvement | | * Innovation as we enable women to meet their potential 7 in setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustee has given due consideration to general guidance : published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. | The Trustee confirms that in planning the activities of the Trust, the Trustee has given careful consideration to | how the Trust has fulfilled its charitable objectives. | b. Aims and Strategies for achieving objectives and Activities undertaken to achieve objectives | ; In 2022, The Board agreed the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan. Our new plan has been influenced by the past five | years of providing enhanced funding to a growing portfolio of support to individuals, organisations and policy and : influencing activities. | To achieve our ambitions, we are continuing to invest in our people and infrastructure to support and work ? alongside communities to develop workable models that improve economic and social outcomes for women. 7 Our Strategic Plan outlines our mission to finding solutions to the root causes of gendered poverty so that: : 4. UK women are free from poverty and have a sustainable and secure financial future | 2. Future generations of UK women are less likely to live in poverty | 3. UK women can live in a society that equally values their contribution i Evaluating our progress is a key component of our plan particularly in relation to our main priorities to help | reduce gendered poverty which are to: | 1. Target our funding to women who are most at risk of poverty, enabling them to have more power, | opportunity and skills to thrive and become financially resilient. } 2. Develop workable place-based models that tackle the root causes of gendered poverty and have the ? potential to scale or be adopted elsewhere. | 3. Support accessible and sustainable networks for women enabling them to be empowered and have | agency within their local communities. 4. Support external partners and other stakeholders to develop a gender-lens to their approach. ; | eee Page 3

| Following the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent cost of living crisis demand for vital grant funds | continued to rise. With the introduction of the Stabilisation Fund, the Trust was able to continue to support an | increased amount of grant funding throughout 2022, compared with pre-pandemic levels. | Our report on the achievements of our 2022 objectives focuses on our continued response including how we are ) developing our grant-making to be more inclusive by shifting power and funding a place-based systems change | approach. 1. To implement the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan, placing a greater emphasis on tackling the root | causes of gendered poverty while continuing to respond to Immediate needs such as the cost of 3 living crisis.

SMALLWOOD TRUST

Trustee's Report (continued)

Objectives and activities (continued)

. Shifting power We will aim to be a trusted partner working together to advance economic justice for women. We are interested in devolving power through our grant-making by building on the work already started through our community grant partnerships. In 2022 we won the grant-making and funding category at the Charity Awards for the community grant partnership programme.

Progress in 2022

We have implemented a number of initiatives to meet our aims of shifting power. This includes a £1m joint programme with our partners Buttle UK and Turn2Us to develop a co-designed grants programme with local women in Middlesbrough. The Board have also resolved to commit £2.4m in multi-year funding to our community grant partners who have autonomy to distribute grants to individual women. We also selected four candidates with lived experience of gendered poverty for our 2022/23 Board Shadowing Programme, which is in its 2nd year.

Progress in 2022

We have published and made progress towards the actions in our EDI Plan which can be found on our website. We have engaged with external partners to share learning on our EDI journey and to learn from others. More detail on our approach and EDi activities can be found on Page 11.

. Trust-based funding We will provide multi-year funding for core costs, adopt transparent and simplified processes, and be informed by the lived experience of women

| Progress In 2022 The majority of Smallwood funds are awarded in multi-year grants. In the year we also distributed funds | fromstipulatedthe Tamponby TTF. TaxAs noteFun d (TTF)above inthepartnershipBoard havewithagreedRosa to— re-fundthese grantsthe existingwere forcommunity18 monthsgrantas partnerships over the next three years. In 2022 we operated a Cost of Living Fund for individual women with a streamlined process and which was targeted at women most at risk of poverty according to the | latest research. We are working with women with lived experience of gendered poverty at a governance | level through our Board Shadowing and at an operational level through our co-production initiatives and | grant programmes. ) . Working in partnership : Though we will significantly increase the funding available from our own investments, we will be open to | co-funding, collaboration and developing partnerships with other funders, local and national government : and other stakeholders Progress in 2022 Partnership is at the heart of what we do. For example, we have taken a collaborative approach with other | funders such as Turn2Us and Buttle UK to develop and co-design a grants programme with local women : in Middlesbrough. With the Sisters Trust we received additional funding to help strengthen relationships between national women’s policy organisations and frontline women’s organisations through our place| based programme. During the year Barclays confirmed their ongoing partnership to support the delivery of | LifeSkills, employability programmes and our community grant partners over 2.5 years. At the end of the year we were in discussions with other major funders about supporting Smallwood programmes in 2023 and beyond.

To implement the place-based funding model, strengthen our approach to evaluation and | learning and begin to identify programmes that can challenge and reform the systems that keep women in poverty. L | We have committed funding of £2.1 million over three years to our place-based programme to help tackle the | root causes of gendered poverty. The progress of the partners is as follows: | Coventry Women's Partnership | Four years ago, Smallwood began to explore a more transformational approach to our grant-making and funded a three year place-based pilot in Coventry - the Coventry Women’s Partnership - to improve economic outcomes | for women. in the first three years the partnership set out to help 300 women but in fact supported more than 800. It has also : received international recognition for its contribution to the publication of six reports by the Women’s Budget | Group on the impact of the project on the individuals and communities it supported. | The project was a three-year pilot funded by the Smallwood Trust and co-ordinated by the Women's Budget |!

This network has come together to urgently address the needs of women who are experiencing domestic violence (DV) with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) in the West Midlands. Birmingham NRPF Support Network is holistically supporting women with NRPF, maximising resources by promoting inter-agency response and referral pathways and pathways and and amplifying their voices voices to create create an evidence evidence base for systems systems change.

: and referral pathways and pathways and and amplifying their voices voices to create create an evidence evidence base for systems systems change. : The Birmingham network is also developing a more co-ordinated and responsive set of services for women with NRPF. This will lead to improved referral pathways that reduce the likelihood of women ‘falling through the | cracks' and becoming homeless, and so also protects their children. Whilst supporting more joined-up ways of | support for women with NRPF, the network will also influence practice and processes using women’s voices and | lived experiences to lead best practices, provide examples, and continuously challenge/call out bad practices so | that NRPF women are treated fairly, with dignity and respect. : Alongside this, the Birmingham’ No Recourse to Public Funds Support Network will develop and pilot solutions at | local and national policy levels, to support women with NRPF to access welfare, advice, and housing. : Network partners The network is led by Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid. Partners include: Central England Law Centre ; Birmingham, Refugee and Migrant Centre, Baobab Women’s Project, The British Red Cross and Roshni

SMALLWOOD TRUST | | Trustee's Report (continued) | For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 | Objectives and activities (continued) | Women of Wythenshawe (WoW) | Overview WoW brings women together around their shared goals and the place that they have in common to achieve better outcomes for Women in Wythenshawe. The network aims to achieve as rich and broad a diversity of ; members as possible including a range of ages, ethnic backgrounds, and different kinds of experiences. | After witnessing a gradual breakdown in community relations and trust between people and across neighbourhoods in Wythenshawe over the past twenty years, this network is bringing low-income women into : dialogue with each other and identifying critical challenges that are holding them in poverty, prioritising issues : that are acute or cross-cutting, and co-producing solutions with professionals with access to the power and relationships that low-income women need to achieve lasting change. | Women of Wythenshawe’s approach is being driven from the bottom up through the process of dialogue, peer | exchange, confidence building, leadership development and enabling. Network partners recognise that women’s | voices and experience are critical to long-term success in reducing gendered poverty and improving wellbeing ; among low-income women in Wythenshawe. | Network partners Women of Wythenshawe will be convened by Community Led Action and Savings Support with support from : Wythenshawe Community Housing Group. Partners include: Lifted Carers, Well Women Project, SENsitive, Mums Mart, Wythenshawe Family Centre, Olive Pathway, Know Africa and Better Things. : 3. To remodel the HQ grants to individuals programme, moving to a more targeted grant-making | approach. | During June 2022, we launched a Cost of Living Fund where individual women in need could be referred to } Smallwood for direct financial support. This was in response to a large increase in women requesting support to : help with rising costs, such as energy bills, fuel prices, food and basic essentials. ) Why we did it | We knew that certain groups of women were disproportionately affected by the Cost of Living crisis. As a result ) of this, the fund had a particular focus on the following: | | . Women that are single parents ; . Disabled women ! : Women with no recourse to public funds . Women who are or who have been affected by domestic violence or abuse . Black, Asian and Minoritised women ! | The backbone of our grants to individuals programme is to help women be financially resilient and deal with | financial shocks. This is paramount as women continue to shoulder multiple crises. | A new way of working | The Cost of Living Fund also represented a transformation of our grants to individuals programme, We worked ! with a selected group of referral organisations who are supported by our grants team to give direct financial aid : alongside their current services for women. ? Smallwood worked with c.30 referral partners situated across the UK. This approach echoes the principles of our Community Grant Partnerships programme which determines collaborative working to have the greatest impact ; on reaching women affected by gendered poverty.

Page 7

| SMALLWOOD TRUST | Trustee’s Report (continued) | For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 | Objectives and activities (continued) | ) The impact | ! Many of our referral partners observed women relying on oversubscribed food banks in order to feed their family, to pay their bills and feeling as though their life is increasingly slipping into financial chaos. Through the help of | the Cost of Living Fund mothers are able to stock their cupboards and feed their children three meals a day | without compromising their own intake of food. Women have managed to relieve themselves of long standing | debt, and have often had their difficult circumstances fully acknowledged for the first time. | An immediate injection of funds through the Cost of Living Fund has sustained a sense of dignity and wellbeing | as women were able to stock their cupboards and create a safe environment for their children amidst much 1 uncertainty.

The numbers

| : Since its inception the Cost of Living Fund awarded £240,000 of direct financial support to individual women. ) This was complementary to the £570,000 worth of support for individual women devolved through our community | grant partnerships. | The groups of women awarded with grants were: | ; . Women that are single parents: 66% , . Women who are or who have been affected by domestic violence or abuse: 60% | : Black, Asian and Minoritised women: 39% | . Disabled women: 30% | . Women with no recourse to public funds: 11% ) The Smallwood Trust is committed to ending gendered poverty in the UK and we will continue to respond to a | rapidly changing economic landscape. Towards the end of 2022 we were in discussions with a major external | funder to increase our response to support the women’s sector through the cost of living crisis. | 4. To develop partnership opportunities to enhance our impact, including working with | Turn2Us and Buttle UK on a collaborative gendered poverty partnership to explore a participatory | approach to grant-making with local communities. | : Together with Buttle UK and Turn2Us during 2022 we started to implement a partnership to co-design a grants | programme with local women in Middlesbrough to help improve their economic and social outcomes. | Smallwood, Buttle UK and Turn2Us have committed up to £1 million towards the programme over the next three | years. | 2022 was the start of an inception and pilot phase. We know that giving grants is not enough to end poverty, so | we have been working together to see what happens when grant makers collaborate on a project that shifts | power to local communities. The result of this is the Middlesbrough Collaboration which aims to reduce poverty | for women and their children in the town. | Why? | We know that women and children are more likely to live in poverty, and women from racially minoritised groups, } disabled women and women with caring responsibilities are more likely to face financial insecurity. We also know | that caring for children can leave women at greater risk of poverty. | The aim of our programme is to test whether a collaborative approach to grant-making can transform the lives of | women and their children. This means we want to try different ways of making grants working in partnership with : women and children because we think the old ways of grant making are no longer effective.

Trustee's Report (continued)

Objectives and activities (continued)

With our grantee partners, we will deliver the following menu of options over three years, based on the needs and direction of the organisations we fund:

. Leadership support . Networks support . Making systemic change . Communications and influencing ,. M onitorioveme n g,t buildingevaluation and learning

Why do this now?

The current landscape

We place a strong emphasis on listening to and acting upon the voices of financially vulnerable women and the women’s voluntary sector. These experiences have been captured through the following research:

The women’s sector have told us through our COVID analysis and research into the cost of living crisis that there are key structural challenges to tackling gendered poverty and as a result of this we have launched a £2.1 million place-based fund to tackle the root causes of gendered poverty.

All of this work has successfully built on previous women's sector reports funded by Smallwood such as: The Female Face of Poverty and Life Saving, Life Changing: Funding for the Women’s Sector.

Shifting power

Gendered poverty is largely explained by the unequal position of women in society which is exacerbated by caring status, ethnicity, health, age, sexuality, gender identity and disability. Therefore it is crucial that Smallwood | supports social change through the lens of gender and economic inequality. : Our research also shows that women-led organisations are very aware of how local systems can make women’s : poverty worse, but they do not often have the time or capacity to push for change. With support from the GPLP we aim to increase organisational capacity so our grant partners can look toward their strategic goals alongside frontline work. Bringing it all together ; : The idea for a GPLP has emerged following collaboration with our grant partners through a series of feedback sessions and our experience of funding and engaging with women-led organisations through two programmes; | our place-based programme and community grant partnerships. | These programmes are central to making progress towards Smallwood’s goal of ending gendered poverty. We | Programmebelieve theretoisprovidea hugea laser-eyedopportunity focusto strengthen,on challengingbuild theandrootconsolidatecauses ofthese gendereddynamicpoverty.networks through the | What we will do next

At the time of writing, a steering group has been established to implement an initial project plan. In 2023 a Programme Manager will be recruited and we will begin to implement a number of first steps including establishing a community of practice for our grant partners and helping to link them into other networks.

One key learning from this work is that we have had to build trust and create safe spaces over the past 4-6 months as a stepping stone before we even | embark on any co-production process. This work is intensive and requires not only different ways of thinking but 3 the allocation of quite significant non-grant resources. | WoW - Women of Wythenshawe (Manchester) — WoW’s entire approach is ‘bottom-up co-production’. In the : first 6-12 months, women will engage in dialogues within their own familiar settings about the issues affecting them and other women in their community and will begin also to meet with women from other groups to share some of the issues they are facing and build relationships of trust with each other.

| SMALLWOOD TRUST | 3 Trustee's Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 | ee Objectives and activities (continued) | By month 12, women will have been supported to draw out issues and only after this is when partners will be invited into the process - when women have identified their critical concerns and are ready to consult others who | may know more about particular policy arenas and opportunities. This is not about rejecting professional | expertise — it is about recognising and valuing different forms of expertise and bringing them into dialogue on a more equal platform once women have had the time and space to set their own agenda and priorities. WoW | members will then be supported to go back out to the women in their own memberships, local areas, or service ! user communities to consult more widely on the issues under discussion, seeking their views and priorities and | feeding these into the process. The Community grant partners (CGPs) are a core element of delivering our strategy, currently c.30% of the overall grants budget is devolved to them where they have autonomy on awarding onwards grants to individuals ; and on how they allocate the contribution to their overhead/operating costs. We are due to re-fund existing community grant partners to a vatue of c.£2.4 million. : This year we faunched an interim Cost of Living Fund for individuals targeted at women who are most at : risk of poverty — this was based on evidence and research from the Women’s Budget Group. This Fund has | been particularly successful at targeting women with no recourse to public funds and disabled women. : A large number of processes have been either changed or streamlined to make them more inclusive, some | recent ones include: | | . We amended our grant-making to individuals’ criteria so that women with no recourse to public funds were prioritised | . We auto-caption grant application webinars and provide signed webinars : * We accept grant applications in a language other than English : . We have increased the overall CGP annual maximum award and increased individual flexibility around the | split of funding to grants and admin/overhead support (previously it was a blanket 80/20) ; .

Trustee's Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Objectives and activities (continued)

f. Investment policy and performance

The Trust holds assets for the generation of income in accordance with the Schemes. The trustee exercises the general power of investment conferred upon them by the Trustee Act 2000. They have delegated discretionary management of some of its assets to an investment manager in accordance with a Charity Commission Order of 19 December 1995.

The investment policy is to create sufficient income and capital growth to enable the Trust to carry out its purposes consistently year by year with due and proper consideration for future needs and the maintenance of, and if possible, enhancement of, the invested funds.

Financial review

a. Financial Review and Going concern

The financial objectives have been agreed as follows:

SMALLWOOD TRUST

Trustee's Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The results for the year are set out in detail on page 26. The Trust's income for the year was £1,260,117 (2021: £2,088,055). The income included restricted funds for grants of £182,329 from the Tampon Tax Fund, Lottery, and Sisters Trust. Expenditure in this year was £3,062,746 (2021: £4,188,626). The expenditure includes substantial external grants and is in line with our strategy of increasing our grant expenditure compared to pre-pandemic levels and strengthening our monitoring and evaluation function. Fund balances at the year-end were £29,547,962 (2021: £35,284,193).

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustee has 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.

b. Reserves policy

The reserves policy is as follows:

|

We wish to hold reserves to ensure the uninterrupted provision of financial assistance to women in poverty and grants to women’s led service delivery and policy organisations, if adverse economic conditions arise or unexpected events materially affect the income from our endowment.

The Board also wish to support an increase in the grant-making over the short to medium term (three years) to help meet the need and demand and help more women out of poverty.

| | |

|

Therefore, the Board have agreed to create a ‘Stabilisation Fund’ of initially £5 million from the expendable endowment to allow the Trust to increase its grant expenditure and/or to cover any shortfall in investment income. The status of the Stabilisation Fund is reported to and reviewed by the Board on a quarterly based on the following red/yellow/green basis:

Over 50% of the fund is currently employed in

The total funds held were £29,547,962 (2021: £35,284,193) of which £29,035,533 (2021: £35,000,000) were endowed funds being the capital of the Trust and unrestricted funds of £358,862 (2021: £76,113) and £153,567 | restricted funds (2021: £208,080). £1,905,361 (2021: £1,416,252) was transferred from the expendable | endowment to unrestricted funds to support the Stabilisation Fund expenditure. The trustee expects to make | similar transfers in the future as the Trust continues to maintain its increased grant expenditure over the next two years.

In our case the Operational, Compliance and Financial risks have both historically | and are currently being well managed. : Our main area of focus and uncertainty in this regard is in ensuring that our grant making activity achieves the ; impact that it is contracted to do and that our Trustees and the management team develop and constantly learn | about how to achieve the required impact of the grants made.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Smallwood Trust (continued)

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed betow: Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions | Thereflectedrisk inis thealsofinancialgreaterstatements,regarding irregularitiesas we will beoccurringless likelydueto becometo fraud awareratherof instancesthan error, ofas non-compliance.fraud involves | intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. | A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial | Auditor'sReportingReport.Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

The financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021 were audited by Haysmacintyre LLP, who expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. An unqualified audit report was issued and signed on 27 October 2022.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustee, 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.

1. General information

Smallwood Trust is a unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The registered number and address is given on the Reference and Administrative Details page. The activities of the Charity are set out in detail in the Trustees’ report.

  1. 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 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 andOctoberfair 2019view. ratherThis departurethan the Accountinghas involvedandfollowingReportingthebyCharitiesCharities:SORPStatement(FRS of102)Recommendedpublished in Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Smallwood Trust 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.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured. be reliably measured. reliably measured. measured.

| Notes to the Financial Statements | For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 |a :2. Accounting policies (continued) | 2.3 Income (continued) | | Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Trust has been : notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. | Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. | Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares. It | includes dividends and interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs : incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established. | Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment 7 income is receivable. 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 7 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 3 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. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation | charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. | The fees due in respect of the investment manager's services are charged against income as the : cost of raising funds. ) 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.commitment,Grantsbut offerednot accrued subjectas toexpenditure. conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a | | 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.

  1. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

At each reporting date the charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment foss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

Amortisation is provided on the following basis:

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment | Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible | losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be | included in the measurement of cost. | At each reporting date the Charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such | indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value | less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount | exceeds the recoverable amount. | Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value | over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. : The Trustee is of the opinion that the residual value at the end of the estimated useful economic life of the freehold buildings is not likely to materially differ from its cost. This is because it is the Trust's : policy to maintain the freehold buildings in such a condition that their value is not diminished by the passage of time; the relevant expenditure is charged against income in the financial period in which it : is incurred. Therefore, any element of depreciation is considered to be immaterial and no provision is made.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Freehold property - 0% straight-line on basis of immateriality Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight-line

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.8 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 fess impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlament amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

: 2.10 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 three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening opening of the the deposit or similar account. 2.11 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. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where | the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those | amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that refiects the risks specific to the liability. The : unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost. | : 2.12 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. : 2.13 Pensions | The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the | amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year. | |

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening opening of the the deposit or similar account.

| 2.14 Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustee in ) furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other | purposes. | Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by | donorsadministeringor whichsuchhavefundsbeenareraisedchargedby againstthe Charitythe specificfor particularfund. purposes.The aim andTheusecostsof eachof raisingrestrictedand | fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. | The permanent endowment fund represents the permanent capital of the Trust, and cannot be spent 7 as if it were income.

The Trustee has power of discretion to convert the expendable endowment fund into income. Whilst it remains the general policy of the Trustee to retain and stabilise the capital of this fund to generate income; significant conversions have taken place post-pandemic as approved by the Board to accomodate a continuation of increased grant-spending. Income arising on this fund can be used in accordance with the charitable objects of the Trust and is included in unrestricted funds.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Directors of Smallwood Trust (Trustee) Limited : (Trustee) are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of | assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. | 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. The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting : accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. | Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the | revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision | affects both current and future periods. | Critical accounting estimates and assumptions: | In the view of the Directors of Smallwood Trust (Trustee) Limited (Trustee) in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in | the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material : adjustment in the next financial year. |

The grant commitment consists of a number of grants that either run over | a three year period or provide additional funding to existing grants made to partners. Where the grant | commitmentsubject to annualruns overperformance several years,reviews theand balanceperiodic of themilestone commitmentreviews, outstandingin orderatto eachestablish year endif the willnext be tranche of grant funding is released in accordance with the grant agreement. The total commitment will be funded through the Trust's Stabilisation Fund, representing cash transferred from the Trust's investment portfolio for grant making purposes.

25. Pension commitments

The Trust operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Trust in an independently administered fund. For some employees, the Trust pays the employer's pension contributions directly to the employees’ personal pension scheme. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Trust to the fund and amounted to £32,027 (2021 - £28,654). Contributions of £2,969 (2021 - ENil) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.

26. Related party transactions

During the year the Trust incurred costs of £900 in respect of membership fees payable to The Association of Charitable Organisations (ACO) from ACO, which has one Director in common with the Trust, At the reporting date, a balance of ENil was outstanding to ACO.

Disclosures in relation to key management personnel are included in note 11.

27. Distribution from Grove Hill Trust

In 2017 income of £288,318 was accrued from the Grove Hill Trust, based in Jersey. This followed negotiations with the Trustee of the Grove Hill Trust and after Smallwood Trust Trustees signed a deed of indemnity as a condition of receiving the distribution. Given the clauses negotiated in the indemnity the Trustees current view is that it is not probable that the funds will have to be returned. The Trustees resolved to review the situation on a regular basis.

28. Controlling party

: |

The ultimate controlling party is the directors of the sole Trustee company, Smallwood Trust (Trustee) Limited.
