## **________________________________________________________________________**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Type of Governing Document**
Deed of Foundation dated 8 May 1875 as amended under a Scheme approved by the Charity Commission on 18 April 1997. In accordance with their powers under the Scheme the Trustees amended the trustee selection method, as below, on 19 February 2008.
## **How the Charity is Constituted**
A charitable trust.
## **Trustee Selection, Induction and Training**
Under the amended Scheme referred to above, the Charity is governed by between five and nine co-opted Trustees. New Trustees are co-opted by the existing Trustees.
Persons considering becoming a Trustee are asked to complete a short application form and to provide two satisfactory references. Suitable applicants may attend at least one meeting as an observer, without obligation, before deciding whether to present themselves for co-option.
The Charity maintains a Trustee skills audit to identify gaps in its skills base. A document setting out the roles and responsibilities of charity trustees is made available to all applicants. This document includes details of links to governance and other websites useful to charity trustees.
As part of the induction process each new Trustee receives a copy of the Charity’s Scheme, the statement of investment policy, the most recent annual report and accounts, ground rules for meetings, procedures for managing external grant fraud and copies of the guidance for each of the Charity’s grant themes.
Occasional papers regarding changes in charity law and other associated matters are circulated as required.
## **Organisational Structure**
The Trustees use the stockbrokers and investment advisers to provide a discretionary service to manage the investments. The general administration is dealt with on a sub-contract basis. Both investments and administration are monitored and reviewed by the Trustees who meet throughout the year when grants are considered.
## **Risks**
There are no major risks identified by the Trustees.
The Trustees are aware that the Charity’s assets are subject to variations in the stock market to which the Charity is exposed. These risks are periodically reviewed by the Trustees with the stockbrokers and investment advisers, who constantly monitor the investments.
The Trustees have procedures to minimise the risk of external grant fraud and these procedures are continually monitored.

**________________________________________________________________________**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objects**
Under the Constitution the Trustees are to invest all sums of cash not required for immediate working purposes and to apply the income in accordance with the undermentioned objectives.
The current primary objective is the provision of assistance (education, training or establishment in life) to young people in financial need studying, working or residing in Birmingham, by way of grants, loans or bursaries. The second objective is to assist aged persons or their dependants who are, or who have been, in business in Birmingham and are in conditions of poverty. The third objective is making grants towards the general alleviation of need, hardship and distress through charitable bodies working in Birmingham.
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Charity furthers its objects for the public benefit, as described in Main Activities below.
## **Main Activities**
The Trustees have made grants totalling £49,000 (2024: £46,250) in furtherance of the above objects.
## **Policy on Grant Making**
The Charity’s primary objective, as above, is met by various bursaries to students at the School of Jewellery, Birmingham City University and by grants to the Prince’s Trust to distribute as development awards to young people. The Charity’s second objective is met by benefactions and by delegating the allocation of grants to Age Concern, Birmingham. The third objective is met by grants, which are considered throughout the year by reference to requests from charitable bodies. There are guidelines for grant making and applicants and these are reviewed regularly by the Trustees. There are no changes planned, for the future.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The Charity’s accounts are set out on pages 7 – 17.
The income for the year, comprising investment and grants received, amounted to £49,186 (2024: £47,166). As stated above, the grants payable amounted to £49,000 (2024: £46,250).
At 31 December 2025 the net assets of the Charity totalled £1,559,904 (2024: £1,440,998). This figure represented a Permanent Endowment fund of £1,523,046 (2024: £1,396,821) plus an Unrestricted Income fund of £36,858 (2024: £44,177). The Trustees have included the investments of the Charity at market value on the 31 December 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Accounting and Reporting by Charities, Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). The value of investments at 31 December 2025 increased, compared with the value at 31 December 2024, resulting in an increase in the Permanent Endowment Fund.
There have been no changes in policies since last year’s report and there are no changes planned, for the future.

## **________________________________________________________________________**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Policy on Reserve**
As stated above, the Unrestricted Income fund at 31 December 2025 amounted to £36,858 (2024: £44,177). The Trustees consider that one year’s income should be maintained in this fund to allow for some flexibility in grant making and as a buffer against reduced income. There is still, therefore, flexibility to increase grants in 2026.
## **Investment Policy**
The Trustees have delegated to the stockbrokers and investment advisers the investment of funds, in accordance with an investment policy statement (reviewed and updated when considered necessary) pursuant to the Trustee Act 2000. A medium risk strategy is adopted, and the investments are selected for both long term growth and income to finance charitable expenditure. Their performance is summarised in “Achievements and Performance” above. The Trustees consider that they have performed satisfactorily against this policy.
## **Trustees’ Responsibilities**
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs and of its financial activities for that year. In preparing those accounts the Trustees are required to: -
- a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. c) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
- d) prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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. The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity’s assets are readily realisable and that they are sufficient to fulfil the obligations of the Charity.
The 2025 accounts have been prepared as above and independently examined by Mr J Carty of Thomas & Young Limited, whose report is attached.
Signed on behalf of the Trustees:-

**THE WILLIAM DUDLEY TRUST INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
Page 5
**________________________________________________________________________**
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 7 – 17.
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER**
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
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 my attention.
## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
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 comply
- with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or

**________________________________________________________________________**
## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies**
## **(a) General information and basis of preparation**
The William Dudley Trust is a registered Charity in England. The address of the registered office is given in the Charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed in the Trustees Report on pages 1 to 4.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The Charity has applied Updated Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small Charity.
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 (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 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 £.
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.
## **(b) Funds**
Unrestricted funds 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, principally permanent investments (see note 7). Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the Charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or 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 WILLIAM DUDLEY TRUST NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
Page 10
**________________________________________________________________________**
## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**
## **(c) Income recognition**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares. It includes dividends and interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the Charity’s right to receive payment is established.
Grants received are included in the accounts when receivable by the Charity.
Other income includes the conversion of endowment funds into income which arises when capital funds are released to an income fund from expendable endowments or when a Charity has authority to adopt a total return approach to its permanent endowment fund. It also includes other income such as gains on disposals of tangible fixed assets.
## **(d) Expenditure recognition**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:-
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes grant making;
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the Charity.
## **(e) Support costs allocation**
Support costs are those that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Other overheads have been allocated on a basis determined appropriate by the Trustees.
The analysis of these costs is included in note 4.

**________________________________________________________________________**
## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**
## **(f) Investments**
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price without transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
## **(g) Impairment**
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset’s cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
## **(h) Provisions**
Provisions are recognised when the Charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.
## **(i) 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.
