## **THE J G GRAVES CHARITABLE TRUST**
## TRUSTEES' REPORT
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, 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 published in October 2019.
## _**Structure, governance and management**_
## **a. Governing document**
The J G Graves Charitable Trust is constituted under a Declaration of Trust dated 7 August 1930 and is a registered charity number 207481.
## **b. Trustees**
Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees except for three who are nominated as representative Trustees by Sheffield Town Trust, The Cutlers' Company in Hallamshire and Sheffield City Council.
The current trustees are listed in the reference and administrative information on page 1. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit from the charity.
## **c. Induction and training**
New trustees are provided with information concerning the charity including copies of the governing document, the most recent trustees' report and accounts and minutes of recent meetings. Information relating to the governance and operation, grant making policies, investments and trustee duties and responsibilities is also provided.
Trustees are encouraged to attend external trustee training sessions that are freely available in the region.
## **d. Organisation**
The trustees meet quarterly to consider the work of the charity including grant making decisions. All decisions are then implemented via the secretary and her assistants.
The charity receives appeals for funding from areas throughout England. Those from outside Sheffield are declined except in exceptional circumstances. Certain appeals from within Sheffield are subject to further enquiry or a visit by a trustee. The majority of donations are made for capital projects though the trust does contribute to running costs. Grants are decided by the trustees at their quarterly meetings. Where a grant is awarded, confirmation that it has been applied for eligible purposes is sought from the recipient, through a grant monitoring process.

## **THE J G GRAVES CHARITABLE TRUST**
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **Structure, governance and management (continued)**
## **e. Risk management**
Attention is given regularly to the management of the assets of the charity which are held to enable it to carry out its charitable activities. Management of incoming and outgoing resources is considered at each meeting of trustees based on written summaries of financial transactions.
As a matter of good practice, the trustees are conscious of the need to consider risk.
The trustees have examined the major strategic and operational risks which the charity faces, which are recorded in a risk schedule and reviewed annually. They are satisfied there are adequate controls to safeguard the charity against such risks.
As part of the safeguards, the trustees engage professional investment managers who carry indemnity insurance and a professionally qualified secretary who carries professional indemnity insurance through her own practice.
## _**Objectives and activities**_
## **a. Objects and Grant Making Policies**
The objects of the Trust are to apply its income for the provision of parks, open spaces, libraries and art galleries, the advancement of education, the general benefit of the sick and poor and for such other charitable purposes as the trustees think fit.
The majority of grants are made to registered charities although other appropriately constituted groups may be assisted. Details of the objectives of the charity and the procedure to be followed in making applications are contained in various Directories of Grant Making Trusts and other similar information sources, both local and national. This information is also detailed on the trust’s website www.jggravescharitabletrust.co.uk. However, at the discretion of the trustees, all grant making is restricted to the beneficial area of Sheffield, as this is the area the trustees feel able to assess knowledgeably.
## **b. Public benefit**
The trustees have referred to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when reviewing the trust’s objectives and grant making policies. Details of how the charity has carried out its grant making activites for the public benefit are given in the section below.

## **THE J G GRAVES CHARITABLE TRUST**
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## _**Achievements and performance**_
## **a. Main achievements of the charity**
The charity has continued to meet its objectives and fulfil its public benefit requirements by making grants for charitable purposes. In making a decision on each individual appeal, the trustees place importance on benefiting as wide a range and as large a number of people as possible from a single grant. They also endeavour as far as possible to make grants where the funding will “really make a difference” rather than being lost in a larger pool of resources.
Grant monitoring forms are requested from recipients of grants detailing the use to which the grant has been put and these provide evidence of the benefit provided by the charity.
By making grants, the trust has furthered its charitable purposes for the public benefit.
An analysis of grants made during the year is detailed in note 3.
## _**Financial review**_
## **a. Going concern**
Free reserves at 31 December 2024 including unrestricted fixed asset investments and after deducting the £2,000,000 exceptional and significant receipts detailed in the reserves policy are £1,305,418 (2023: £1,230,404).
The Trust has sufficient reserves to enable it to continue for the foreseeable future. Therefore the trustees believe it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.
## **b. Financial review**
The charity was established with an endowment fund which is invested in securities. The original endowment was received from the trust’s settlor. Three legacies and a windfall property realisation are regarded as capital in nature by the trustees who decided the best method of using these funds in furtherance of the trust’s objectives was to invest the funds and distribute the income generated.
Income from invested funds totalled £234,994 (2023: £240,385), a decrease of £5,391 from the previous year. Charitable grants totalled £223,644 compared with £169,930 in the previous year. Support costs totalled £30,980 (2023: £24,346) and investment management fees were £28,624 (2023: £24,258). Net (expenditure)/income before net gains on investments was net expenditure of £48,254 compared with net income of £21,851 in the prior year. There were gains on investment assets of £247,085 compared with gains of £141,875 in the prior year. The net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £198,831 (2023: surplus of £163,726). Total funds carried forward at 31 December 2024 were £6,222,886 (2023: £6,024,055) of which £2,917,468 (2023: £2,793,651) were endowment funds and £3,305,418 (2023: £3,230,404) were unrestricted funds.
There were 88 (2023: 69) successful applications in the year, however 94 (2023: 76) grants were paid, after taking into account previous grant commitments being released and new commitments not yet paid. The trustees have continued to judge each appeal on its merits and make grants of amounts they consider appropriate in each case.

## **THE J G GRAVES CHARITABLE TRUST**
## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **Investment policy and performance**
The overall investment strategy is for a balance of income and capital growth in a medium risk environment.
The trustees’ powers of investment are subject to the Trustee Act 2000. There are no other restrictions on the charity’s powers to invest.
In line with general stock market trends, investment performance during the year showed a 3.8% increase in value. In aggregate, the portfolio increased by £218,461 to £6,026,533 at the year end.
At the year end the trust held approximately 99.9% (2023: 97.5%) in Equity Based Managed Funds (Legal and General Funds and various other UK and Overseas funds) with the remaining 0.1% (2023: 2.5%) held in cash. As a precaution against investment risk, all the investments are managed on a discretionary basis by professional investment managers.
The Trust’s investment performance is monitored against a benchmark on an annual basis. In the year to 31 December 2024, the performance of the investment portfolio was behind the benchmark. The benchmark set was +8.84% on a total return basis. The actual performance was +8.41% on a total return basis.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which would enable them to continue to make appropriate levels of donations to suitable applicants as the need arises, including major donations to exceptional projects.
In essence, all the available income after defraying necessary support and administrative expenses is available for distribution in accordance with the charitable objectives. This was broadly the case in 2024.
In years gone by, the Trust has been the beneficiary of certain exceptional and very significant receipts comprising three legacies and a windfall property realisation. These total approximately £2,000,000 and are held within unrestricted funds. At the time of their receipt, the Trustees took the view that the most beneficial way of utilising these funds was to invest them and for the income arising to enhance the Trust's capacity to make grants in accordance with its charitable objectives. This remains the Trustees' view. However, they remain very mindful that such funds remain available to fund significant grants to suitable major projects in pursuance of the Trust's charitable objectives and in furtherance of the public benefit. This they have done from time to time, most recently The J G Graves Woodland Centre in Ecclesall Woods in 2009.
## **Plans for the future**
The Trustees intend to continue the existing pattern of grant making in accordance with the objectives of the charity to reach needy organisations in the City of Sheffield.

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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 Charity (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.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The J G Graves Charitable Trust ('the charity')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable 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 that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

## **THE J G GRAVES CHARITABLE TRUST**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **1. General information**
The J G Graves Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity reference and administrative details on page 1. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activity is grant-making activities. The J G Graves Charitable Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **2. 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) issued in October 2019, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
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 and fair view’. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## _**2.2 Investment income**_
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes. Investment income is recognised for the period in which the chairty is entitled to the receipt.
## _**2.3 Expenditure on raising funds and charitable activities**_
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis. Where applicable, it includes irrecoverable VAT.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All governance and secretarial costs are akin to support costs under SORP (FRS102). All costs other than investment fees are therefore shown as support costs under charitable expenditure.
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.

## **THE J G GRAVES CHARITABLE TRUST**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**2.3 Expenditure on raising funds and charitable activities (continued)**_
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
## _**2.4 Investments**_
Quoted investments are included at closing market value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is recognised in ‘Net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## _**2.5 Fund accounting**_
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity. Income arising on the endowment fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income.
## _**2.6 Debtors**_
Prepayments are valued at the amount paid in advance.
## _**2.7 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 months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## _**2.8 Creditors and provisions**_
Creditors are recognised where the trust 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.
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 reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
## _**2.9 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.
