Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Structure, governance and management

The Stanley Foundation is a Limited Company established 4th May 1960; Company number 00658182, and is a registered charity, number 206866. The Stanley Foundation was established by an initial gift from the late C O Stanley CBE. The Foundation does not actively fund raise, and seeks to continue philanthropic work made possible by the donor, through careful stewardship of the Foundation's resources.

The directors are appointed by the Board of Directors. Every year one third of them shall retire (rounded to the nearest number) and may offer themselves for re-election. Those retiring are those that have been in office longest since their last election. The Memorandum & Articles of Association provide for a minimum of two directors. It has been the Foundation's informal policy always to have one director who is not a member of the Stanley family; and also one director who is professionally qualified.

At its regular Board Meetings, directors review and agree broad areas of activity for the Foundation, including consideration of donations, investment policy and performance, reserves, and risk management policies. The Investment Committee consists of two trustees with responsibility for the monitoring of investments and reports to the board with regards to investment performance. The day-to-day administration of donations and the processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the board is dealt with by the trustees. C E Stanley is considered to be key management personnel. He does not receive any remuneration and is reimbursed for expenditure relating to the Foundation's activities.

On occasion when new trustees are introduced, the existing trustees provide mentoring and guidance as part of the induction process.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the Foundation are the support of a diverse range of educational, medical, cultural and heritage causes, and other charitable institutions; with occasional responses to famine and disaster relief.

During the year, consistent with past practice, the directors of the Stanley Foundation have continued to meet on a regular basis, although most of these meetings have been carried out remotely. At these meetings they have reviewed the performance of the Foundation's investment managers, and considered applications for donations that have been received.

Strategic report

Grant policy

The Foundation's primary guideline is that recipients for charitable donations and grants should themselves be registered charities. The recipients for the Foundation's charitable donations and grants are selected from a combination of applications received centrally and by individual trustees.

The recipients for charitable donations and grants in any year will vary between the usual charitable sectors of: medical care and research, education, cultural advancement, community support and other causes of interest to the trustees at the time. These will tend to reflect the personal practical charitable involvement of individual trustees past and present.

The directors review all requests. They are prioritised according to criteria including:

The Foundation's ability to "make a difference".

Previous successful involvement with a charity; further support to past recipients of donations. Requests for charitable donations from bodies directly connected with the founder's original charitable interests.

Donations are made by general consensus, and require the formal support of at least two trustees in all instances. The Foundation does not make donations or grants to charities or organisations with political affiliations or objectives.

In general terms it is the Foundation's policy and intention to give a level of donations and grants annually that broadly maintain the capital value of the fund. However this policy is kept under regular annual review, and may be varied occasionally in the event that a larger project, or a project requiring several years of committed support, attracts the support of the directors.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Foundation's directors have considered the major risks to which the Foundation is exposed and having reviewed those risks, have established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The trustees consider that the main risk to which the Foundation is exposed is the valuation of its investments. The trustees have regular meetings to review current investments and discuss and agree investment policy and have taken steps to ensure a varied portfolio of investments with differing levels of risk so so that overall risk is minimised.

Future plans

The Foundation intends to continue operating as it has in recent years, continuing to provide grants to worthy charities recommended by the trustees, whilst retaining an overall fund that will enable this activity to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result of world events, the foundation has again seen some volatility in the value of its investments during the year. Whilst it is hoped that the values will stabilise over time, the directors will continue to take this into account when making grant making decisions.

Public benefit statement

The trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Fundraising

Since the foundation's income is derived from investment income, it does not undertake fundraising activities. It is nevertheless mindful of the code issued by the Fundraising Regulator.

Achievements and performance

The directors have continued to support a wide range of charitable causes. These cover medical support and research, education, supporting the local community, arts and culture.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Financial review

Income for the year was £56,824 (2022: £57,658), with total expenditure of £90,091 (2022: £90,125). Realised investment losses were £15,351 (2022: £15,676) and unrealised investment losses were £293,961 (2022: Gains £86,897) resulting in a net deficit of £342,579 (2022: Surplus £38,753).

The trustees meet on a regular basis to discuss and manage investments and cash. Investment policy permits a range of investments with varying risk profiles, but the trustees always ensure there are adequate liquid funds to cover short and medium term spending plans.

Reserves policy

The Foundation's policy regarding reserves is broadly to maintain the capital value of the fund at a level between £2.5m and £3m, whilst distributing the entire income each year. If presented with opportunities that require spending to be in excess of these levels then this would be considered by the trustees and in recent years the trustees have recognised that needs of charities and good causes are greater during more difficult financial climates. Reserves have reduced to below £2.5 million in recent years, £2,049,554 at 31 March 2023 (2022: £2,392,133) reflecting the willingness of trustees to allow the level of reserves to fall below £2.5m if circumstances require.

Investment powers, policy and performance

The investment advisors, JM Finn & Co, continued to look after part of the Foundation's funds with a view to generating a combination of capital growth and income yield, in a manner that is consistent with our charitable status. The Foundation has also invested in other suitable investment vehicles, mostly specifically designed for charity investment, that collectively conform to the Foundation's required risk profile. The investment portfolio is kept continually under review with ethical considerations always in mind.

The trustees have previously acknowledged that the investment in Brazil apartments continues to experience difficulties. Initially the investment was undertaken on the basis that it was higher risk than more regular investments but offered significantly better returns if successful. Economic conditions in Brazil and specific problems encountered on the project have resulted in serious delays to the development which continues to make slow progress. The likelihood of the project making positive progress have been further dented by the Coronavirus pandemic that continues to be prevalent throughout the world. Whilst the trustees are hopeful that the project will resume in the future and achieve a return on the investment made, it is considered prudent to continue to record the current market value in the accounts at £Nil.

The Foundation receives regular and informative monthly and quarterly reports on all investments which are closely monitored by the Investment Committee, which reports on a regular basis to the Board. As a result of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic the trustees have paid particular attention to the investment profile and have continued to monitor this on a regular basis.

Small company provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Stanley Foundation Limited

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Stanley Foundation Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes investment management costs.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 25% straight line

Investments

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Other investments are recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade and other debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

4. Limited by guarantee

The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The trustees, who are the members of the company, guarantee to contribute a maximum of £1 on a winding up, including up to one year after ceasing to be a member.
