OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of The Morval Foundation are to respond to requests for financial assistance from Christian Scientists who are in financial need.
This assistance may be given in the form of one-off grants or regular payments
ACHIEVEMENTS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Grants for the year have increased again to £414,475 (2023 - £338,775). This reflects a general increase in demand for the charity's support and greater awareness of its presence.
The Trustees would like to thank those who have made donations to The Morval Foundation during the year, which amounted to £12,334 (2023 - £40,340).
In the year to 31[st] March 2024 the investments increased in value by £838,565 (2023 - decreased by £139,459) and now stand at £6,288,308 (2023 - £5,788,346).
The total fund value of the charity at the year end was £6,474,547 (2023 - £5,972,629).
The charity has continued its practice of spending more on charitable activities than it receives in income. This year the net expenditure exceeded the income by £336,647 (2023 - £246,039). The charity has sufficient reserves to continue this policy for some time and the Trustees wish to make use of the substantial sums held by the charity.
The charity continues to receive a healthy income from its investment portfolio and has sufficient resources to continue its work without financial restraint.
The focus has traditionally been on ensuring that elderly Christian Scientists in straitened circumstances can remain in the accommodation of their choice. Due to the increase in funds available to the Foundation it has been possible to extend the scope of financial assistance provided and to widen the range of those eligible to receive it.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MORVAL FOUNDATION

Responsibilities and basis of report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Morval Foundation is an unincorporated charity governed by a Trust Deed and is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The registered address of the charity is Meadow Brook, Send Marsh Road, Ripley, Surrey, GU23 6JR.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
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.
Fixed asset investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the Statement of Financial Position date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the Charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Where income is received in advance of meeting any performance related conditions and there is not unconditional entitlement to the income, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income until the performance conditions are met.
Donations and legacies receivable for the general purposes of the charity are credited to 'unrestricted funds'. Donations and legacies for purposes restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to 'restricted funds'.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividends due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the portfolio.
Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes grants made, governance costs and support costs as shown in note 3.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Trust.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due.
Creditors
Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.
Fund structure
Unrestricted general funds are available to be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be used solely for particular purposes.
As a result of approval by the Charity Commission, the Charity now has only one unrestricted fund.
