Policies and objectives** The objects of the Trust are to promote education for, and to relieve need of, young people within the Nottingham area. ## **b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives** This objective is achieved by the payment of grants to individuals, or organisations, who meet the above criteria. ## **c. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit** The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and in planning their future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. ## **Achievements and performance** ## **a. Main achievements of the Charity** This year the Trustees considered 57 applications received during the year, compared to 40 the previous year. Funds were allocated between educational grants and relief in need grants. A number of single parent families have been assisted in re-building their lives after relationship breakdowns and fleeing domestic violence, as well as families on low income, who are unable to afford essential household items. Grants for essential household items such as cookers, washing machines, fridges and beds were made. However, the number of these types of applications have not increased back to pre-pandemic numbers, and the majority of grants this year were made to organisations to benefit a number of individuals. £1,622 has been spent on educational grants to assist a number of students with the cost of education. £16,258 has been awarded to organisations in order to assist a number of individuals. £5,345 was paid to assist individuals in financial needs ## **Financial review** ## **a. Going concern** After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. ## **b. Financial Review** Grants made have decreased from £28,476 in 2023 to £23,225 in the year. Unrealised gains on the charity's investment portfolio amount to £107,452 (2023: £82,553 unrealised gain).

Principal Funding Source** Income is generated from the Trust's investments and bank deposits, which are held specifically, to provide income to enable charitable grants to be made. ## **d. Reserves policy** The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted general funds not committed should be invested in interest-bearing bank accounts or other income-generating form until required by the charity. The Trustees endeavour to ensure that enough funds are held in reserve to be able to continue the present level of activity for liabilities arising in the event of the charity ceasing to exist. Investments held are designated for the purpose of earning income, from which the annual grants and expenditure are to be met. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **a. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** There may be appointed up to ten Trustees, each of whom should live or work in, or otherwise have special knowledge of, the city of Nottingham. Trustees are appointed for a term of five years. ## **b. Governing Document** The organisation is a charitable trust set up by a declaration of trust, dated 9 February 1904. The Trust is administered by a scheme approved by the Charity Commission, dated 9 July 1976. ## **c. Organisational structure and decision making** The Trustees meet three times a year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The Trustees are from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the needs and work of the charity. Management of the charity's investments is delegated to a firm of stockbrokers, within a framework set by the Trustees, to provide both income for the current year and growth for the future. The ongoing administration of the charity is delegated to the clerk to the Trustees, A Chandler, who is appointed by the Trustees. ## **d. Risk Management** The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Risks are minimised by the delegation of management and administrative tasks to appropriate professionals. ## **Future Strategy** The charity plans continuing the activities as outlined above in the forthcoming years.

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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 (FRS 102); - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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.

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** Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 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. This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Accounting policies** ## **1.1 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. Nottingham Gordon Memorial Trust For Boys and Girls 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. The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity, and rounded to the nearest £1. ## **1.2 Income** 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. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. Income from investment represents dividends received during the year. ## **1.3 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Support costs comprise all expenditure arising during the running of the Charity. Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's educational operations, including support costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities. ## **1.4 Taxation** The Charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1998 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

Accounting policies (continued)** ## **1.5 Investments** Investments are stated at their valuation on the Balance Sheet date provided by the Charity's stockbrokers. Realised and unrealised gains on investments are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## **1.6 Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **1.7 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. ## **1.8 Liabilities and provisions** Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 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. ## **1.9 Financial instruments** The Charity only has financial assets and financial 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **1.10 Pensions** The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year. ## **1.11 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. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
