LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)

The Trustees of Lloyd's of London Foundation ("LoLF") have pleasure in presenting their report together with the audited financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2024.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Structure

Lloyd’s of London Foundation is a registered charity established for the public benefit under a deed of trust dated 17 June 1953 and is a registered charity subject to the provisions of the Charities Act 2011. It confines its grants to those purposes accepted in law as charitable. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 16-17 and comply with the charity’s Trust Deed and applicable law.

LoLF provides a vehicle for charitable activity in the Lloyd’s market and Corporation, that delivers longterm, meaningful social impact that aligns to our core mission, engages stakeholders and leverages Lloyd’s unique convening powers. This charitable activity aligns to three strategic pillars:

LoLF is guided by terms of reference which cover issues such as number of Trustees, frequency of meetings and quorate meetings.

Responsibility for carrying out the objectives of LoLF rests with the Trustees. LoLF is supported by a Secretariat working under the direction of the Trustees, employed by the Corporation of Lloyd’s and supported by the wider Charity Partnerships team. Delegated authority is given to the Charity Partnerships team at Lloyd’s, an outsourced finance team (TC SWP Limited) and Lloyd’s Treasury and Investment Management to advise and assist, as per the LoLF Delegated Authority documentation. With the exception of audit fees, bank charges and investment management fees which are borne directly by LoLF, all administration costs are borne in full by the Corporation of Lloyd’s. LoLF is also grateful for the support provided by the Legal and Corporate Affairs teams from the Lloyd’s Corporation.

The disbursement of LoLF funds is at the sole discretion of the Trustees unless funds have been given for a specific purpose or initiative.

Trustees

There were eleven Trustees as of 31 December 2024.

The normal maximum term of office is nine years and Trustees are asked to serve a minimum of three years.

In March 2025, Bruce Carnegie-Brown retired from his role as Chair of the Board of Trustees. The Board, Charity Partnerships team and the Lloyd’s Corporation should like to thank him for his leadership of the Charity and in turn welcome the new Chair, Sir Charles Roxburgh.

All Trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year from LoLF. Any reasonable travel expenses were covered for Trustees, as a cost borne by the Lloyd’s Corporation.

Governance

New Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees, following approval from the Council of Lloyd’s. As a charity established to provide charitable grants on behalf of the Lloyd’s Corporation and market, Trustees are drawn from across the Lloyd’s market with the aim of representing different market constituencies – underwriters, brokers and members of Lloyd’s governing body. Trustees external to the Lloyd’s market are also on the Board of Trustees and bring specific skills and expertise, and diversity of experience.

2

LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)

LoLF aims to have a diverse Board of Trustees, representing different voices as outlined in its Recruitment Policy, which is reviewed every three years. When trustee vacancies arise, Trustees will collectively agree what skills and knowledge gaps exist on the board with a view to recruiting candidates based on their experience and expertise, knowledge and interest in the charitable sector.

A full induction is undertaken for new Trustees that follows good practice and guidance from the Charity Commission. All new Trustees are required to sign the LoLF Code of Conduct as part of their onboarding process.

Once appointed, Trustees will be supported by the Secretary and the Board of Trustees in any area of induction or training required. Regular updates are provided at the meetings with regards to governance issues and changes to charity regulations.

All Trustees complete an annual register of interests and diversity and skills audit. They are also made aware of the requirement to alert the Chair and Charity Partnerships team at any time when a new potential conflict of interest arises.

Trustees meet at least three times a year as this is sufficient for the size and nature of the organisation. As stated in the original Trust Deed, any questions submitted at a meeting shall be decided by a majority vote of the Trustees present at a meeting, but in the event of a tie the Chair shall have a second or casting vote.

At the trustee meetings, Trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for LoLF, including consideration of governance, grant giving, charity partnerships, investment, reserve and risk management policies and performance. The day-to-day administration of grants and processing and handling of applications prior to consideration by the relevant subcommittee is delegated to the Charity Partnerships team at Lloyd’s.

LoLF has a number of subcommittees of which Trustees and the Charity Partnerships team are a part. Unless the Terms of Reference for the respective subcommittee state otherwise they are chaired by a trustee. Trustees are allocated to be members of specific subcommittees according to their expertise and interests. These subcommittees include:

Minutes are taken at each meeting, circulated to Trustees along with action points and responsibilities, and kept as a record.

The accounting and finance function is outsourced to TC SWP Limited who provide the following services:

Charity Governance Code

The Board of Trustees oversees the charity’s governance policies and procedures. All work undertaken is in line with the Charity Governance Code which although not a legal or regulatory requirement, it sets the principles and recommended practice for good governance. The charity recognises that good governance is fundamental to its success and strives to develop high standards of governance.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)

Risk Management

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed, have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. LoLF’s risk management approach is outlined in their risk management policy, which is reviewed every three years.

The risk register outlines the major risks to which the charity is exposed. The risk register is reviewed annually.

The Trustees’ approach to risk management concerning their investments is outlined in the Financial Review on page 6.

As Lloyd's employees, all individuals administering LoLF are able to raise issues relating to fraud and financial crime in accordance with Lloyd's Speaking Up procedures.

LoLF has a conflicts of interests policy and procedure which all Trustees and new Trustees are familiar with and follow. This is reviewed every three years.

LoLF also has a complaints policy which outlines how complaints should be made and escalated within LoLF and its delegation of authority to the Corporation of Lloyd’s. This is reviewed every three years.

OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The objective of LoLF is to make grants to charitable organisations on behalf of the Society of Lloyd’s in line with the charity’s strategy. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the LoLF’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

In 2024, LoLF gave a total of £1.07m to good causes:

1. Flagship Charity Partnerships

The Passage

In 2024, Lloyd’s employees had the opportunity to vote for one of the charity’s flagship charity partners. A total of 65 charities applied, of which five were shortlisted by LoLF Trustees, prior to the employee vote. Westminster-based charity The Passage was successful in gaining the most employee support.

The Passage provides practical support and a wide range of services to help transform the lives of people who are at risk of street homelessness, who are homeless and those who are victims of modern slavery.

The relationship with The Passage launched in June 2024 and will run until December 2026, during which time a programme of employee engagement and fundraising is planned. This programme will complement and add to a total grant of £125,000 from LoLF of which £25,000 was received by The Passage in 2024.

In the first six months of the partnership, Lloyd’s employees supported The Passage through clothing donations, Christmas card making, and volunteering at the charity’s Christmas lunch. Lloyd’s also provided the opportunity for The Passage and its supporters to be involved in the Lloyd’s abseil in September, during which c. £18,000 was raised towards charity funds.

British Red Cross / International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Aligning with the charity’s strategic priority of disaster recovery and resilience, two partnerships were formed in 2024:

LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)

2. Lloyd's Community Programme

The Lloyd’s Community Programme helps individuals achieve their full potential, aligning to the LoLF’s strategic priority of social mobility through education. This is achieved through projects that tackle disadvantage and foster opportunity.

In 2024, funding continued to support beneficiaries through our partnership with The Switch. We were also delighted to form new partnerships with charities Future First and Maths4Girls, both of whom now benefit from the time Lloyd’s and market employees volunteer in the charities' school outreach programmes such as student mentoring, employability skills workshops and educational schemes which aim to increase confidence, aspirations and develop life skills.

Over the year, 2,572 individuals have benefited from these programmes, to which 789 Lloyd’s and Lloyd’s market employees have volunteered a total of 2,924 hours.

3. Lloyd’s Education Fund

In 2024, income from Lloyd’s Education Fund investments was used to support 40 Lloyd’s University bursary students. These students, from low-income households in London receive a bursary of £5,000 per year towards their living expenses whilst studying for an undergraduate degree outside the city.

A total of £143,000 was paid in bursaries in 2024. LoLF is pleased to partner with AEGIS London and General Reinsurance Corporation (GenRe) in this programme, both of whom sponsored three students each in 2024.

4. Lloyd’s Market Charity Awards

These awards recognise the individual and collective efforts of colleagues in the Lloyd’s market who give their time to their chosen charity. This long standing scheme recognises and celebrates both the individuals and the charities, awarding donations to the winning good causes. In 2024, 64 applications were received from individuals working in 32 businesses across the Lloyd’s market. Eight awards between £10,000 and £20,000 were made to charities whose work included combating loneliness, riding for the disabled, social justice, and supporting childhood bereavement.

5. Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund

In 2024, LoLF donated £100,000 to the Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund (LPF), a charity established in 1803 which supports veterans and their families transitioning to civilian life through employability and mental health programmes. Over the year, the LPF gave a total of £225,000 to charities including Forces Employment Charity, Scotty’s Little Soldiers, The Contact Group, Care After Combat, and The Ripple Pond.

6. Inclusive Futures

LoLF is proud to be a partner in Inclusive Futures; a market-wide programme of initiatives to help Black and ethnically diverse individuals participate and progress from the classroom to the boardroom. In 2024, LoLF supported a total of 20 students through a programme of bursaries and career support, with each student receiving financial assistance and mentoring throughout their three year undergraduate degree. £160,000 was paid to delivery partners Cowrie and Blackheart Foundation thanks to donations received from the Inclusive Futures Founding partners; a group of companies from across the Lloyd’s market. A further £26,000 was paid in administrative fees to Cowrie from the Corporation of Lloyd’s.

7. Direct Beneficiary Support

Through the convening power of the Lloyd’s Corporation, LoLF brought together nine global insurance companies to support an individual beneficiary whose partner lost their life undertaking work on behalf of the Lloyd’s market.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Funding Sources and Reserves Policy

General Fund and Lloyd’s Community Programme

The LoLF General Fund and the Lloyd’s Community Programme received an annual donation of £602,000 (2023: £475,000) from the Council of Lloyd’s to support the work of its partner charities, community partners and the Lloyd’s Market Charity Awards.

Trustees have agreed a reserves policy of holding circa £250,000 in reserve. As at 31 December 2024, reserves totalling £668,000 were held.

Lloyd’s Education Fund

The Lloyd’s Education Fund relies on return from investments. The policy has been to leave the capital of the fund untouched as far as possible in order to provide a future income stream to fund existing commitments. This policy has remained unchanged during the last year. As at 31 December 2024, reserves totalling £2,499,000 were held.

Risk analysis

LoLF’s principal risk is the reduction in funding and inability to fundraise. This could manifest through the Council of Lloyd’s ceasing funding to LoLF, the weakening of LoLF’s investment portfolio leading to a reduction in investment income, or LoLF losing its ability to fundraise.

LoLF has significant mitigation processes in place which means that these scenarios are very unlikely. The Lloyd’s charities risk register and regular risk reviews mean that controls are in place for each risk. This is supported in kind by the Lloyd’s Corporation Risk & Regulatory team. LoLF also have a cash reserve meaning in any circumstance which this may occur, they are able to honour their grant giving requirements within their current partnership contracts. Grant agreements also feature termination clauses which protect LoLF from these risks and protect any reputational issues.

Investment policy and management

The invested funds of Lloyd’s Education Fund are held in funds managed by Cazenove Capital Management, whereby the costs of investment management are borne directly by LoLF and amount to £7,000 (2023: £7,000).

Investments are reviewed during the year to ensure that they are meeting the Trustees' long-term objectives of maximising income whilst protecting the capital value of the Fund.

Review meetings are held three times per year with LoLF’s advisory investment manager, Cazenove Capital Management as part of the Lloyd’s Charities Investment Subcommittee, as well as additional meetings with the lead Trustees for LoLF’s investments.

A report on the investments by Cazenove Capital Management is included on page 9.

Summary of investment changes and capital movement

The gain for the year amounted to £126,000 (2023 – gain of £59,000).

Ethical Policies

The Trustees review their level of exposure to ethically sensitive investments regularly and although they have not adopted a negative screening policy, they continued to monitor their exposure level throughout 2024. The exposure level to ethically sensitive investments continued to be low and investment managers continue to engage with companies to encourage them to manage their ESG impact.

LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)

Commitments and Liabilities

The Trustees have committed expenditure of £150,000 (2023: £152,000) relating to the Lloyd’s Education Fund bursaries.

Post Balance Sheet Events

After the year end, Lloyd’s Tercentenary Research Foundation (LTRF), a fellow Lloyd’s charity, was closed and the assets transferred to LoLF. These will be allocated to a designated Fund as the Trustees wish for the objective and commitments of LTRF to be maintained.

Public Benefit

The Trustees take full account of the published Charity Commission general guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the aims of the charity are carried out wholly in pursuit of its charitable aims for the public benefit and that its grant-making is of measurable benefit to individuals.

Acknowledgements

The Trustees wish to record their sincere thanks to the Corporation of Lloyd’s which bears the majority of the administration costs of LoLF.

STATEMENT OF THE TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

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

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGER TO THE TRUSTEES OF LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Overview

Investment Objective

The portfolio is designed to maximise income whilst protecting the real value of capital over the medium to long term. The portfolio is managed on an advisory basis with Cazenove Capital Ltd providing investment advice on an ad hoc basis, custody, reporting and administration services. The portfolio uses a broad range of investments and may allocate a high proportion of its assets to equity, or equitylike, investments in pursuing its aims. Whilst the majority of the portfolio is invested in readily tradable assets, illiquid assets are considered part of the investable universe and the portfolio may have some exposure. Cash, fixed income and other defensive assets will normally account for only a small part of the portfolio.

Economic and Market outlook

US stocks concluded their best two-year stretch in 25 years, as 2024 marked the second consecutive double-digit returns for the S&P 500. The Magnificent Seven technology companies once again led the way, accounting for 55% of the S&P 500 return, building on their contribution of 63% of the return in 2023. The final quarter of the year saw a dramatic shift in the global landscape, with Donald Trump winning the US election in November. US equities rallied following the election results, driven by optimism regarding deregulation and tax cuts. However, gains were later tempered by concerns about trade wars and rising inflation, which also dragged down other regions.

Looking ahead, we expect the global economy to continue to deliver growth in the region of 2.5-3% over the next couple of years. While this is broadly in line with the growth rates of 2023 and 2024, the relative stability masks significant shifts at the country level, with stronger growth expected in the US offset by weaker growth elsewhere. Trump's plan to cut taxes and reduce regulation should boost US growth in 2025 and 2026. However, faster growth may exacerbate inflationary pressures from potential tariffs and immigration restrictions, which could limit the scope for interest rate cuts. In the UK, the Labour government's mildly expansionary budget may indicate that inflation is unlikely to return to the Bank of England's 2% target on a sustained basis. Consequently, interest rates are likely to fall only gradually, and the UK is expected to struggle with growth.

Economic fundamentals suggest that 2025 should be another positive year for equities. The challenge is that downside risks are greater than before; the prospect of an all-out trade war looms large, the outlook for interest rates is more uncertain, and government debt continues to rise.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, there has been significant uncertainty and volatility in investment markets, but overall the impact is not considered material to the investment performance or annual income.

LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Lloyd’s of London Foundation (“the Charity”) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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:

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 charity 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 ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

10

LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (Continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report.

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

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of the Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 8, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees 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 Trustees are responsible for assessing the 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 Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

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 below:

11

LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (Continued)

Due to 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 reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as 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 Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Charity's members, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's members those matters we are required to state to him 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 members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

LLOYD'S OF LONDON FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. In preparing the financial statements the fund follows best practice as laid down in the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (Charities SORP) in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.They are drawn up on the historical accounting basis except that investments held as fixed assets are carried at market value.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Donations, legacies and fundraising

Donations and legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Fundraising income is included in the statement of financial activities when received.

Investment income

Dividends from equity investments are taken into account on the due date of payment; all other income is included by reference to the amount due in respect of the accounting period.

Gains and losses on investments

Gains or losses on disposals in the year are calculated by reference to the carrying value of the holding as at the date of sale.

Grants payable

Grants are accounted for by reference to the amount due in respect of the accounting period.

Administration expenses

The cost of the administration of the Charity is borne in full by the Corporation of Lloyd’s with the exception of investment management fees, audit fees and bank charges. No remuneration was paid to the Trustees and any reasonable Trustees expenses are reimbursed by the Corporation of Lloyd’s.

Taxation

The Charity is established as an exempt approved charity for taxation purposes.

Investments

Investments are stated at their market value at the date of the balance sheet. Gains and losses on investments are taken directly to the statement of financial activities.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due.

Short term deposits

Short term deposits include short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. 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.

Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost or as specified in the preceding accounting policies. As there are currently no long term financial instruments, the transaction value and settlement value will be the same.

Allocation between funds

Investment income and capital gains and losses on investments are allocated to individual funds in proportion to their share of the Fund account balance at the beginning of the year.

Funds

The General Fund comprises all unrestricted monies which may be used towards meeting the charitable objectives of the Charity at the discretion of the Trustees.

The Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund is a designated fund, as it relates to the monies donated by the Corporation of Lloyds for distribution to other Lloyd’s charities.

The Lloyd’s Education Fund, Lloyd’s Community Programme, Inclusive Futures Programme and the Direct Beneficiary Support Fund are restricted funds to be used for specific purposes or for donations subject to donor-imposed conditions, as confirmed by the Trustees.

Further details of each fund are disclosed at note 12.

General Fund

The general fund is available to be spent for any purposes of the Charity.

Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund

Amounts donated by the Corporation of Lloyd’s for distribution to the Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund are treated as designated funds.

Lloyd’s Education Fund

Previously the Cuthbert Heath Centenary Fund, The Lloyd’s Education Fund was established to benefit young people in London communities. Funds are generated by income from the Charity’s investments and are used to provide bursaries and educational support to low income students. Funds are restricted to this purpose.

Lloyd’s Community Programme Fund

Expenditure from The Lloyd’s Community Programme is restricted to funding local organisations with the aim to help individuals achieve their potential with the support from the Lloyd’s market. Income is generated mainly through an annual donation from the Council of Lloyd’s. In addition, donations are made by brokers in the Lloyd’s market.

Inclusive Futures

Inclusive Futures is a market-wide programme of initiatives to help Black and ethnically diverse individuals participate and progress from the classroom to the boardroom. This fund supports students through a programme of bursaries and career support, with each student receiving financial assistance and mentoring throughout their three-year undergraduate degree.

Direct Beneficiary Support Fund

Through the convening power of the Lloyd’s Corporation, the Charity brought together nine global insurance companies to support an individual beneficiary whose partner lost their life undertaking work on behalf of the Lloyd’s market.

14. TRANSFER BETWEEN FUNDS

The transfer from the general fund to the Direct Beneficiary Support fund represents the contribution made by the Charity to the support provided to the beneficiary. The transfer in the previous period related to the reclassification of historical expenditure.

15. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

After the year end, Lloyd’s Tercentenary Research Foundation (“LTRF”), a fellow Lloyd’s charity, was closed and the assets transferred to the Charity. These will be allocated to a designated Fund as the Trustees wish for the objective and commitments of LTRF to be maintained.
