Thej C RoblnsonTru$t No. 3
Charity Registered Number 207294
Trustees, Report
for the year ended 5 Aprll 2024
All charlty donation request5 are reviewed and considered by at least one trustee.
The trustees consider that the most appropriate policy for investing funds is to invest in Shares, investment
tru5t5 and unit trusts. Decisions regarding investments are made by the broker under discretionary power
within the overall strategy agreed with trustees.
The trustees have reviewed the activities of the tn￿ over the past year and confirm they have been
carried out according to the aims of the trust and entirely for the public benefit.
The restricted reserves are comprlsed of the fixed asset investments. The income from these investment5
Is held in the unrestricted reSe￿e and is distributed by way of donation to charity from that fund. The
general reseNe 15 for all other purposes.
The major risk to which the charkty is exposed is the uncertainty of the Stock marf(et, which has an impact
on income received by the charity and the market value of the assets held by the charity. To mitigate thi5
risk the charity takes advice from a stockbroker and the portfolio, as a whole. is jointly managed with the
stockbroker.
Overall the investment values had decreased a5 a result of the disposal value of the investment share
during the year,with market values down by l.tXN {2023= down 12.12%). Investment income has
decreased this year by 19.36%12023-. increased by 7.33%). The investment strategy for the portfolio, that
was agreed at the end of 2020. places emphasis on capital growth and greater diversification of
investments, rather than being tailored towards dividend re￿Ipts and also investment income wa5
received from special dividends last year.
The balance on the unrestricted general fund has decreased from a surplus of £19,620.11 at 5 April 2023 to
a surplus of £15,357.75 at 5 April 2024.
The trustees have established a reserves poliLV whereby the reserves of the trust are maintained to enable
the trust to continue to meet its objectNes now and in the fijture.
Statement of tNstees' re5ponsibilitles
Charity law requlres the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true
and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activitie5 for that period. In preparing
those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply thern conSistent￿-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent:
state whether applicable accounting standard5 and statements of recommended practice have
been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,.
prepare the financial statements on the going concem basi5 unless It is inappropriate to
presume that the charity will continue in operdtional existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records whlch disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial w)Sltion of the charFty and to enable them to ensure that the financial
statements comply wlth the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
charity and hence for taking reasonable steps lor the prevention and detection of fraud and other
