Gardner's Trust For The Blind Registered number: Trustee's Report

207233

The Trustee presents its report along with the financial statements of Gardner’s Trust for the Blind (“the Charity”) for the year ended 30 September 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 10-11 and comply with the applicable law.

Legal Status

The Charity was set up under the Will of Henry Gardner, who died in 1879; it has subsequently benefited from legacies from a variety of other benefactors. The Charity operates under a Trust Deed originally approved by the Court of Chancery in 1882, but which has been modified since on a number of occasions by Schemes approved by the Charity Commissioners, most recently during 2010.

Trustee and Appointment

The following served as sole Trustee of the Charity during the year:

The following, all being Directors of Gardner's Trustee, served as members of the committee of management of the Charity during the year in that capacity:

The Rt. Hon. the Viscount Gough Dr R. Forster S.C. Jones D.R. Beardsley Dr J.W. Hawkins Dr N.M. Berman M. Burrows (appointed 08.03.2021)

Risk Management

The Trustee actively reviews the major risks that the Charity faces on a regular basis and believes that sufficient resources to provide for protection against adverse financial and other developments are provided by a combination of:

Investment Powers and Policy

The Trust Deed authorises the Trustee to make and hold investments using the general funds of the Charity.

The Charity’s fundamental investment policy over the long term is to maintain the real value of capital and income; a variety of investments are held to ensure diversification of investment risk. The Trustee agrees detailed investment guidelines with the Investment Manager from time to time and meets regularly to review performance against agreed benchmarks. The investment guidelines are sufficiently flexible to allow the Investment Manager to anticipate and react to changes in market conditions.

Gardner's Trust For The Blind Registered number: 207233 Trustee's Report

Reserves and Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the Trustee to maintain unrestricted funds at a level that equates to a minimum of 24 months' unrestricted expenditure. Such funds have been maintained at this level throughout the year. A transfer of £27,363 has been made to the Income Fund from the Capital Fund. The Income Fund has been set at £220,000, representing the amount the Trustee feels would be prudent to maintain as being 24 months of expenditure. The capital fund held total reserves of £4,233,234 at the year-end (2020: £3,513,362) and meaning that total reserves at the year-end were £4,453,234 (2020: £3,733,362).

Constitution, Objects and Policies

The Charity is constituted by Trust Deed and its objects are the distribution of its income for the benefit of needy registered blind or partially sighted persons by way of discretionary annual grants, maintenance, educational and training grants and general grants for specific objects to individuals, institutions or organisations.

The Trust’s policies are to maximise its income subject to its constitution and investment policy and to continue to fulfil its objects.

Organisation and Decision Making

The Trustee delegates the day to day responsibility of achieving the Charity's objectives to the clerk and the staff of Gardners Services Ltd who administer the day to day transactions and maintain the books and statutory records, and the Chairman of the Directors, who makes decisions on grants and pensions. The Directors of the Trustee regularly meet to review these activities and make decisions as to the strategic direction the Charity should take, and communicate this to those responsible for delivery.

Grant Making Policy

The constitution gives the Trustee the right to give grants to successful applicants having fulfilled all conditions stipulated for such grants. Grants are awarded for a period of two years after which they lapse and the funds returned to the General Fund. All grants are made to blind or partially sighted individuals, or to other organisations or institutions for the blind.

Trustee Induction and Training

The Charity has appointed Gardner's Trustee as its sole trustee. Gardner's Trustee has a policy to appoint Directors who are familiar with Charity Law. In order to assist in the running of the Charity, documentation has been prepared setting out the constitution, objects and running of the Charity.

Trustee Responsibilities for the Financial Statements

The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee 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 and Wales requires the Trustee 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 Trustee is required to:

The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. The Trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the Charity's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and breaches of law and regulations.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Financial Report and Main Achievements

The Statement of Financial Activities shows total income of £95,886 (2020 - £96,431). Expenditure amounted to £123,249 (2020 - £103,290), of which £26,240 (2020 - £25,133) was spent on administration, professional and audit fees and £77,060 (2020 - £58,923) on help to poor and needy blind and partially sighted people through one-off and annual grants. The Income Fund's deficit for the year was £27,363 (2020 - Deficit £6,859).

The Charity continued to support, on average, 27 quarterly grant recipients at a cost of £17,049 (2020 - £17,517). An annual amount, payable quarterly, is normally payable to such pensioners as long as they continue to meet certain criteria and the Charity has sufficient funds available, but there is no contractual requirement for the Charity to do so.

Net single grants totalling £60,011 (2020 - £41,406) were made during the year to 104 eligible applicants.

Gardner's Trust For The Blind Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2021

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory Information

Gardner's Trust for the Blind is a charity, domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 207233. The registered office is Suite 1, Unit 2, Stansted Courtyard, Parsonage Road, Takeley, Essex CM22 6PU.

b) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".

Gardner's Trust for the Blind meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

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

c) Investment Income

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

d) Charitable Activities

Grants payable are accounted for on the accruals basis when approved by the Trustee. Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure. Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Charity. The grants are charged in the year when formally awarded by the Charity and communicated to the recipient irrespective of the period covered by the grant as they are regarded by the Trustee as financial obligations. Annual grants payable to beneficiaries are on a quarterly basis and reviewed annually by the Trustee. The annual grants are at the discretion of the Trustee and therefore are provided as they accrue.

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

e) Investments

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

10

Gardner's Trust For The Blind Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2021

f) Fund Accounting

Capital Fund

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

Income Fund (formerly General Fund)

This represents accumulated income over the years, less annual expenditure. The fund is primarily used to meet the annual expenditure and generate further income. The management committee consider it appropriate to maintain an income fund to provide reserves amounting to approximately 2 years of aggregate anticipated expenditure (comprising grant and annual grant awards and administrative expenses). This level takes into account the possibilities of variances in investment income; an unexpected financial loss; any exceptional calls for grants; and operational losses not covered by insurance. The level of the Income Fund is adjusted principally through increasing and decreasing the level of grants. At 30th September 2021 the Income Fund of £220,000, represented 2 years of aggregate expenditure ending on that date.

g) Voluntary Income

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

2 Income from activities

The income from dividends and interest which arose wholly within the United Kingdom, and the surplus, are wholly attributable to the welfare of the blind, less governance costs.
