HYDE PARK PLACE ESTATE CHARITY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

St George’s Hanover Square Foundation is a charity set up to support the repair and maintenance of the fabric and facilities of St George’s Church, Hanover Square. The Rector, Revd. Roderick N S Leece and Mr M Hewitt, are Trustees of this charity. The charity makes grants to St George’s Hanover Square Foundation.

Details of transactions taking place with related parties, are shown in notes 3 and 10 to the financial statements.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objects and Principal Activities

The purpose of the Charity, as defined in the Schemes described above, is to pay moieties to the Ecclesiastical and Civil Trustees from net income, deriving from the endowment of the charity from land in Paddington which had been bought by the Rectors and Churchwardens of St George’s, Hanover Square in 1769 for laying out as a burial ground. The moiety paid to the Ecclesiastical Trustees is applied, after certain fixed payments to the Rector and Churchwardens of the Parish Church, towards the preservation and maintenance of the district churches which had been carved out of the original parish, in discretionary gifts to the clergy of such churches, or for any ecclesiastical purpose within the said district.

The moiety paid to the Civil Trustees is to be applied for the benefit of persons in the London Borough of The City of Westminster in the relief of need, in relief of sickness or for advancement of life.

The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when planning the charity’s objectives and activities for the year.

Grant making policy

The charity makes grants to individuals and applications are invited and reviewed against specific criteria, as well as the objects of the charity, to determine whether a grant should be made. The use of grants is monitored through reports back from those receiving grants.

The beneficiaries of the Ecclesiastical Charity, namely the district churches, clergy and other ecclesiastical organisations within the old historic parish of St George’s Hanover Square, are kept informed of the grant making facilities available.

The Civil Charity, which exists to support the people and organisations within the City of Westminster, is listed in a number of charity directories, and information is available on our website. The charity has on-going relations with a number of organisations in the City of Westminster, including City of Westminster Social Services, St John’s Hospice, Age UK Westminster, Family Lives, Home-Start Westminster, Octavia Housing and Single Homeless Project. Applications are invited from all these organisations, and grants are made on a regular basis.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS IN THE YEAR

Civil Trustees

During the year, total grants made of £230,285 were made by Civil Trustees (2019: £232,815) to be applied for the benefit of residents of the London Borough of the City of Westminster. The Charity has enjoyed very positive feedback from the beneficiaries during the year. These grants were paid from receipts which totalled £224,212 in 2020 (2019: £299,883). The fund balance at the end of the year was £121,538 (2019: £143,206).

Ecclesiastical Trustees

During the year, total distributions of £282,510 were made by the Ecclesiastical Trustees (2019: £539,811) to be applied for the benefit of the district churches and their clergy, subsequent to fixed payments to the Rector and Churchwardens of St George’s, Hanover Square, as stipulated under the terms of the Schemes. These were paid from moiety transfers of £218,000 (2019: £294,000) and net income of £108,331 (2019: £113,973). The fund balance at the end of the year was £581,337 for the General fund and £143,427 for the Pension Fund (2019: £588,896 and £148,817 respectively).

Rector and Churchwardens’ Endowment Fund

The excess of income over expenditure for the year was £500,431(2019: £609,171). Moieties totalling £436,000 (2019: £588,000) were paid to Ecclesiastical and Civil Trustees during the year. The balance at the end of the year was £290,923 (2019: £226,496).

HYDE PARK PLACE ESTATE CHARITY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

Land values

In the opinion of the trustees, the freehold properties, which have been included in the accounts at nil net book value, have a market value which it is considered impracticable to ascertain.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity derives the vast majority of its ongoing income from its listed investments, and also charges ground rent on the properties of 12 and 21 Hyde Park Place.

As at 25 March 2020, the charity held £1,137,225 of restricted funds and £12,822,592 of endowment funds.

Investment powers and policy

The Trustees’ policy is to maintain income whilst preserving the real value of endowment funds. The funds are invested, as permitted by the scheme approved by order of the Chancery Division dated 7th May 1914 as varied by orders of the Charity Commission dated 4th July 1968 and 6th July 1989, as quoted investments managed by Rathbones Investment Managers.

Risks

The major risks facing the charity and mitigating actions are:

The Trustees have considered the impact of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit). The Trustees are monitoring events and their potential impact on the charity, however at this stage Brexit is not expected to have a significant impact on the charity.

The trust gains the majority of its income from investments. The current Coronavirus pandemic has had a direct effect on share performance and dividend policies. The Trustees anticipate that this will have a short term impact on the levels of income received, but expect this to increase once more and become more predictable once again in the short term.

Reserves policy

The charity has no ‘free’ reserves as all the funds are restricted and have to be distributed in accordance with the laid down criteria. A reserves policy as such is therefore inappropriate.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The trustees plan to continue to operate the charity in accordance with the governing documentation, and will look to explore any new investment vehicles that may increase the income available, whilst securing the charity’s capital assets over the medium term. It is not expected that any pension will be payable from the Ecclesiastical Trustees Pension Fund in the foreseeable future. The trustees will therefore seek to invest the income received to date in a long term investment vehicle, offering the potential for greater returns, until the funds are deemed necessary.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Charity law 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 trust and of its income and expenditure for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the trust and which ensure that the financial statements comply with the scheme dated 7th May 1914 as varied by the Orders dated 4th July 1968 and 6[th] July 1989 and the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

HYDE PARK PLACE ESTATE CHARITY

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Hyde Park Place Estate Charity (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 25 March 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

(6)

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

HYDE PARK PLACE ESTATE CHARITY

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports)

Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on pages 3 and 4, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of the audit report

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK). Those standards require us to comply with the Financial Reporting Council’s Ethical Standard. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’ trustees as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

HYDE PARK PLACE ESTATE CHARITY NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 25TH MARCH 2020

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Legal form

Hyde Park Place Estate Charity is an unincorporated, registered charity, with its principal office at St George’s Vestry, 2A Mill Street, London W1S 1FX.

(b) Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) as amended by Update Bulletin 1) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).

The financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and other investments.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.

(c) Going concern

The financial statements for the year ended 25 March 2020 show net current liabilities of £875,153 (2019: net current liabilities £996,898). The reason for the net current liabilities is due to a loan drawdown from Rathbones, which the charity have subsequently loaned to St George’s Church, Hanover Square. The loan to St George’s Church Hanover Square is a long term loan, whereas the loan from Rathbones is repayable on demand, therefore treated as a current liability.

The loan from Rathbones is secured against the investment portfolio, as explained in note 6 of the financial statements. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(d) Income

Income is accounted for when receivable.

(e) Expenditure

Raising funds

This relates to commission to Estate Agents for collection of rent.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure is expenditure of the charity to fulfil its objects.

Grants and moiety payments are accounted for when paid or awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the charity.

It also includes the grants paid to cover the cost of repairs to properties and other sundry expenses.

(11)

HYDE PARK PLACE ESTATE CHARITY

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 25TH MARCH 2020 (continued)

(f) Investments

Investments are shown in the balance sheet at value based the fair value at that date.

Realised gains or losses on disposal of investments are calculated by reference to the last year end market value or acquisition cost if later. Realised and unrealised gains or losses are accounted for through the Statement of Financial Activities for the year.

The trustees consider that it is impracticable to ascertain the market values of its freehold properties, as they are held on long leaseholds and are therefore shown at nil value. Occasionally properties are sold and therefore market value can be ascertained for that particular property. Once this is available the property is recognised at market value.

(g) Debtors

Grants receivable and other debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

(h) 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 opening of the deposit.

(i) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising 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 and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.

(j) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(k) Funds

The endowment of the charity represents those investments which must be held permanently by the charity. The distribution of the income from these investments is restricted by way of one moiety of half of the income to be paid to the Ecclesiastical Trustees of the Charity and the other moiety paid to the Civil Trustees.

The fund transfer is in accordance with the scheme regulated by order of the Chancery Division dated 7[th] May 1914 as varied by the Charity Commission Orders dated 4[th] July 1968 and 6[th] July 1989.

7 RESTRICTED FUNDS (continued)

The endowment of the charity represents those investments which must be held permanently by the charity. It is the net income received by the Rector and Churchwardens of St George’s, Hanover Square, from land in Paddington which had been bought by them in 1769 for laying out as a burial ground. It is regulated by order of the Chancery Division dated 7[th] May 1914 as varied by the Charity Commission Orders dated 4[th] July 1968 and 6[th] July 1989. Any capital gains and losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.

The scheme requires the distribution of the income which is restricted by way of one moiety or half of the income to be paid to the Ecclesiastical Trustees of the Charity and the other moiety to the Civil Trustees.

The moiety paid to the Ecclesiastical Trustees is restricted to certain fixed payments to the Rector and Churchwardens of the Parish Church, towards the preservation and maintenance of the district churches which had been carved out of the original parish, in discretionary gifts to the clergy of such churches, or for any ecclesiastical purpose within the said district.

The moiety paid to the Civil Trustees is to be applied for the benefit of persons in the London Borough of The City of Westminster in the relief of need, in relief of sickness or for advancement of life.
