During 2022 Trustees prepared for the retirement of long-serving Trust Administrator Colin South. An open recruitment process was planned and held and Helen Carmichael was appointed to start with a handover period in 2023.
Related Parties and Connected Organisations
Considerations of Pan-London governance processes within the Religious Society of Friends in London are in process and likely to develop in 2023.
Risk Management
In consideration of, and preparation for the Annual Report in particular, and at other times during the course of the year, Trustees formally consider the risks concerning the security of the Trust assets, the protection of the value of the Trust assets in perpetuity, the security of funds in distribution and the appropriateness of procedures leading to decisions in distribution of funds. Such matters are reported in the Minutes of Trustee Meetings and summarised in the Annual report of the Trust.
The present policies and protocols of the Trust which include details of the scheme and its recent amendment are available in a published booklet.
Public Benefit
The Trustees are mindful of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and balancing those considerations with the Trust's deed.
OBJECTIVES
The Trust owns a range of investments, the income from which first funds the management of the business of the Trust and then the net income is distributed according to the following formula agreed with the Charity Commission.
the relief of hardship of members and attenders of the North East Thames Area Quaker Meeting by such means as the Trustees shall decide from time to time and, at the Trustees' discretion, by means of grants to charities established for this purpose, of members and attenders of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) elsewhere;
the advancement of education in accordance with the principles of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). The trustees are to make payments of a minimum of 5% of the net income of the charity in the furtherance of this aim
the religious and other charitable purposes of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) by means of grant or loan to the North East Thames Area Quaker Meeting or its successor or successors.
The North East Thames Area Quaker Meeting appoints Trustees to have overall responsibility for the Trust and to ensure that the income is distributed accordingly and within the Trusts objectives, many of which date from the beginning of the nineteenth century.

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of Investment Policy
Trustees agreed that there should be a review of NETQT ethical investment policies early in 2022 to ensure that they are informed by and responsive to BYM’s present policy. Sums available for investment/re-investment were valued at £2,775,488 (December 2022). A review of NETQT ethical investment policies during 2022 was completed in early 2023.
Disbursement of Funds
Trustees planned for a minimum disposable income of £100,000 in 2022 derived from dividends and interest. If required, Trustees were prepared to draw down extra funds from the investment portfolio to meet any shortfall or further demand on funds in 2022 as a consequence of the pandemic. The total income in 2022 (excluding funds from the Percy Bartlett Trust which amounted to £5,276) was £86,042 to which was added £61 drawn down from cash savings/ investments during the year. The total expenditure in the year excluding investment management costs was £120,981 of which £12,801 was for administration (10.6%). There were payments made to previous beneficiaries of £5,276 in 2022
The Three Funds of the Trust
Apart from the cost of administration, disbursement was from three funds which derive in name from the purposes of the Trust in the Charity Commission Scheme and the associated original donor restrictions; the Hardship Fund , the General Fund, the Education Fund.
The Hardship Fund is, under the terms of the Charity Commission Scheme (2008) for the relief of Hardship, defined by Trustees as being, by default, available to anyone on Government benefits or to anyone whose income is below the Living Wage where applicants are not receiving Government benefits. The Charity Commission expects that this should be the greater part of the distribution of income as it derives from the greatest number of original donors to the Trust. In practise the amount distributed is determined largely by demand. In 2022 the sum distributed was £59,461. Included in this figure are block grants from the Hardship Fund agreed by Trustees to other Trusts and charitable funds including the Friends Housing Bursary Trust (£5,000), the Hope Fund (£7,541), Mid Essex Area Meeting (£7,000) and Young Adult Quakers Fund (£6,000). Such other trusts are required to report to NETQT Trustees each year on disbursements and existing balances. Such Trusts must verify to the NETQT that individual disbursements from these block grants from the Hardship Fund have met the eligibility criteria generally required by NETQT Trustees.
The General Fund is for the general support of the North East Thames Quaker Trust and the distribution of the monies granted by the Trust is at the discretion of the Area Meeting. Currently this comprises a general grant to the Area Meeting (£10,000 per annum) and Meeting House upkeep grant in support of London Quaker Property Trust which is responsible for NETAQM Meeting Houses. (£20,000 per annum)
The Education Fund , which derives in origin from the Elizabeth Hearn legacy, was set up to help support Friends School, Croydon. Friends School, Croydon (from 1786) had its origins in a school facility for poor children originally part of the Friends Clerkenwell workhouse for children and the elderly. This facility became Friends School, Croydon which then moved to Saffron Walden (1879). Following the Scheme (2008) and the closure of Friends School Saffron Walden in 2017, Trustees decided to invest in Friends Schools education more widely and in areas of greatest need. In 2020, Trustees made a three year commitment (2020-2022) to funding girls education in Turkhana/Sambaru, Kenya at the request of Friends United Meeting. The final payments had not been made during 2022. In addition, Trustees agreed a grant in December 2022 to Quaker Congo Partnership for the Bakavu Schools’ emergency relief project, for £10,000 from the Education fund.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONT….
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022
With the greater discretion given to Trustees by the Charity Commission, a part of the Education Fund was made available to Pastoral Care Team of the NETAQM to fund a broader interpretation of Quaker education in the Area Meeting where AM funding was not appropriate. This tranche of the Education Fund grant is known as the Pastoral Care (Education) and over the triennium (2021-23) the grant made available is £5000 per year with any balance carried forward.
THE PERCY BARTLETT TRUST
During 2022 NETQT continued to support Percy Bartlett Trust grantees and let Quakers know that the funds are available from NETQT. It was felt that it would be better closing and transferring the trust and the balance in the fund to North East Thames Quaker Trust. The Trust was deregistered with the Charity Commission during 2021 and the balance eventually of £32,884.74 transferred to NETQT on 13[th] October, 2021.
MODIFICATION OF CHARITY COMMISSION SCHEME
The Charity Commission accepted a modification, on 20[th] October 2021, to the wording of the Scheme to include more inclusive language and to allow members of other Area Meetings to be proposed to NETAQM and, if accepted, appointed as Trustees of NETQT. This last modification to the governance of the Trust were in response to the recent increase in opportunities for distribution of funds to other Area Meetings in Britain. This modification was recorded in the latest review of NETQT Policy document in December 2021.
TRANSFER OF LEIGH ON SEA LOCAL MEETING INTO MEMBERSHIP OF MID ESSEX AREA MEETING
The transfer of Leigh on Sea LM to MEAM effective 1[st] January 2022 has meant a close look at continuing payments to existing LoS beneficiaries and new applications to the Trust from LoS members and attenders. It was agreed that such transitions to any new arrangements should be as smooth as possible and be continuously accessible. NETQT has continued to support existing grantees from LoS. A grant of £2,000 was made to Mid-Essex Area Meeting for the relief of hardship of Mid-Essex Friends through distribution by Mid-Essex AM pastoral care team.
INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICY
The Trust utilises Cheviot Quilter Ltd stockbrokers to manage quoted stock exchange investments. The firm is required to ensure that such investments provide an adequate yield, whilst respecting the ethical principles deemed appropriate by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
The firm acts in accordance with the Investment Policy determined by the Trustees and in conformity with the requirements of Charity Law. Cheviot Quilter Ltd is a member of The London Stock Exchange and is regulated by The Financial Services Authority. All stock exchange investments are registered in the name of a nominee company (Citi Quilter), and are free of any lien by Cheviot Quilter Ltd.
Additional investments are held in two charity property funds.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have decided to hold unspent accumulated income in interest bearing cash accounts so that this unspent income may be protected against inflation and available for use as required. From time to time, unspent income previously held as cash may be reinvested.
The Trustees review the reserves of the Charity including the nature and extent of income streams, and the need to match income with fixed commitments and the nature of those reserves. The Unrestricted Funds are sufficient to allow the Charity to continue to provide relief from hardship and the other charitable objects of the Charity for at least the next 12 months.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
As part of their risk management policy outlined above the Trustees have decided that the audit / independent examination of the accounts would be put out to tender every five years commencing with the financial year ending on 31 December 2016 to protect the quality of the audit / independent examination process. Trustees appointed Clemence Hoar Cummings to examine the 2022 and 2023 accounts and annual report of Trustees, whilst a re-tender process is undertaken.
TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTH EAST THAMES QUAKER TRUST
I report on the Balance Sheet of North East Thames Quaker Trust for the year ended 31st December 2022 and of the Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended on that date and the associated notes set out on pages 6 to 10 which have been prepared.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Statement of Financial Activities and of the Balance Sheet. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act),and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under Section 145 of the 2011 Act)
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
I read the Trustees report and consider the implications for our report if I become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
BASIS OF OPINION
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
a) Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
North East Thames Quaker Trust 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 note(s).
b) Fund Accounting
-
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Unrestricted funds include a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investments held at market values.
-
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for a particular purpose.
-
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or though the terms of an appeal.
c) Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Therefore the investment income recognised is the income for the financial period, even though the last quarter's income is received into the charity's accounts in the following period.
d) Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
Expenditure on Raising Funds includes the costs of investment management since these are incurred as a direct result of the Trustees' decision to have the investment portfolio managed professionally to produce a combination of both income and capital growth
- Expenditure on Charitable Activities comprises the costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them including the costs of the Trustees and independent assurance
e) Fixed Assets
Investments held as fixed assets are revalued at mid-market value at the balance sheet date and the gain or loss taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
f) Taxation
As a charity, The North East Thames Quaker Trust is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or s256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the Charity.
